[English]

You say you want to come back

You say: "I won't do it again"

You're so good at talking

And so bad at loving

You won't fool me again

Because to me you are a mistake

Because I'm not going to miss you

Because today I understood that I need more

11 reasons to forget

Let me

Give back the roses that are poisonous

And take away

All your butterflies, they make me nervous

I never believed you, I always hurt myself

You never wanted to change

I never laughed, I always cried for you, and no more

11 reasons to forget (11 reasons to forget)

I dedicated this song to you

I wrote you every reason

So I'll never forget

That I have to let you go

And take care of my heart, no

Because for you, winning is worth more

Than losing a woman

Because next to you, it never stops raining

11 reasons to forget

Let me

Give back the roses that are poisonous

And take away

All your butterflies, they make me nervous

I never believed you, I always hurt myself

You never wanted to change

I never laughed, I always cried for you, and no more

11 reasons to forget (11 reasons to forget)

11 reasons to forget you

That you hadn't left, and I had already learned to miss you

That the less you loved me, the less I could leave you

And that the biggest stupidity was never learning to forget you

Because of you, a heart is left without life

A memory and a wound that takes me back to our lives

When you left, the more it hurt, the more I was convinced

That if you weren't coming back, even if it hurt, it would all be the same

These are my 11 reasons to forget you

There's one reason I didn't expect

But while you're leaving

I found a love that loves me much more

...

So let me

Give back the roses that are poisonous

And take away

All your butterflies, they make me nervous

I never believed you, I always hurt myself

You never wanted to change

I never laughed, I always cried for you, and no more

11 reasons to forget (11 reasons to forget)

11 reasons to forget

...

[Spanish]

Dices que quieres volver

Dices: "no lo vuelvo a hacer"

Eres tan bueno al hablar

Y tan malo para amar

No me vuelves a engañar

Porque para mí tú eres un error

Porque no voy a extrañar

Porque hoy entendí que yo necesito más

11 razones para olvidar

Déjame

Devolverte las rosas que son venenosas

Y llévate

Todas tus mariposas, me ponen nerviosa

Nunca te creí, siempre me dañé

Nunca quisiste cambiar

Nunca me reí, siempre te lloré, y no más

11 razones para olvidar (11 razones para olvidar)

Te dediqué esta canción

Te escribí cada razón

Para ya nunca olvidar

Que te tengo que soltar

Y cuidar mi corazón, no

Porque para ti vale más ganar

Que perder a una mujer

Porque junto a ti, nunca para de llover

11 razones para olvidar

Déjame

Devolverte las rosas que son venenosas

Y llévate

Todas tus mariposas, me ponen nerviosa

Nunca te creí, siempre me dañé

Nunca quisiste cambiar

Nunca me reí, siempre te lloré, y no más

11 razones para olvidar (11 razones para olvidar)

11 razones para olvidarte

Que no te habías ido, y yo ya había aprendido a extrañarte

Que entre menos me querías, menos yo podía dejarte

Y que la estupidez más grande fue nunca aprender a olvidarte

Por tu culpa se ha quedado un corazón sin vida

Un recuerdo y una herida que me lleva a nuestras vidas

Cuando te fuiste, entre más me dolía, más me convencía

Que si no ibas a volver, aunque me dolería, todo daría igual

Estas son mis 11 razones para olvidarte

Hay una razón que no me esperé

Pero mientras tú te vas

Me encontré a un amor que me quiere mucho más

Por eso déjame

Devolverte las rosas que son venenosas

Y llévate

Todas tus mariposas, me ponen nerviosa

Nunca te creí, siempre me dañé

Nunca quisiste cambiar

Nunca me reí, siempre te lloré, y no más

11 razones para olvidar (11 razones para olvidar)

Key Grammar Structures

• Dices que quieres volver

  ➔ Present tense of the verb "decir" (to say) combined with "que" (that) to introduce a subordinate clause expressing what someone says.

  ➔ The structure "Dices que..." means "You say that...". It is a common way to report what someone is saying. The verb 'decir' is conjugated in the present tense for the second person singular (tú).

• No me vuelves a engañar

  ➔ The use of "volver a + infinitive" to express repetition of an action (to do something again). The "me" is an indirect object pronoun indicating who is being deceived.

  ➔ "No me vuelves a engañar" literally translates to "You don't deceive me again". It expresses a firm resolution that the speaker will not allow themselves to be deceived again by the person they are addressing. The placement of the indirect object pronoun "me" before the verb is typical in Spanish.

• Porque para mí tú eres un error

  ➔ The use of "para mí" (for me) to express a personal opinion. The verb "ser" (to be) is used to define what someone or something is.

  ➔ "Porque para mí tú eres un error" translates to "Because for me, you are a mistake." It expresses a strong feeling and judgment towards the person being addressed. The use of 'para mí' emphasizes that this is the speaker's personal assessment.

• Todas tus mariposas, me ponen nerviosa

  ➔ The verb "poner" (to put/make) used in the reflexive form "ponerse" (to become/get) followed by an adjective. "Me" functions as an indirect object pronoun indicating who is feeling nervous.

  ➔ "Me ponen nerviosa" means "They make me nervous". "Ponerse + adjective" is a common way to express a change in emotional state. Here, the subject is "Todas tus mariposas" (all your butterflies), referring metaphorically to the feelings the other person inspires.

• Nunca te creí, siempre me dañé

  ➔ Use of the preterite tense to describe completed actions in the past. The reflexive pronoun "me" with "dañé" indicates that the speaker harmed themselves.

  ➔ "Nunca te creí" (I never believed you) and "Siempre me dañé" (I always hurt myself) both use the preterite tense to refer to specific actions that happened in the past. The "me dañé" indicates a reflexive action, where the speaker's actions had a negative impact on themselves.

• Que entre menos me querías, menos yo podía dejarte

  ➔ Comparative structure using "entre menos... menos..." (the less... the less...) to express a proportional relationship between two actions.

  ➔ This line uses a less common but sophisticated comparative structure in Spanish. It emphasizes the paradoxical nature of the relationship: the less the other person loved the speaker, the less the speaker was able to leave them. It showcases a co-dependent dynamic.

• Me encontré a un amor que me quiere mucho más

  ➔ Use of the preterite tense "encontré" (I found) to describe a completed action. The personal "a" before "un amor" is used because the direct object is a person.

  ➔ This line expresses a positive turn in the narrative, indicating that the speaker has found a new love. The use of the personal "a" is grammatically important when the direct object is a person. "Mucho más" intensifies the meaning of "quiere", indicating a greater degree of love.
