Amor Tóxico

• By: Christian Nodal

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Un día me amas

One day you love me

Luego me odias y no quieres ver mi cara

Then you hate me and don't want to see my face

Estás de buenas y al ratito estás de malas

You're in a good mood, and a little later you're in a bad one

No pasa nada

It's okay

Porque también yo soy así

Because I'm like that too

Un día no me pelas

One day you ignore me

Luego me celas y por todo me peleas

Then you get jealous and argue with me about everything

Por una foto, un mensaje que me veas

For a photo, a message you see of me

Tú te imaginas casi toda una novela

You imagine almost a whole soap opera

También yo soy así

I'm like that too

Un día quieres terminar y al otro regresar

One day you want to break up and the next, come back

Yo sé que eso no es normal, pero...

I know that's not normal, but...

Pero yo te quiero así

But I love you like that

Y no te cambio por nada

And I wouldn't trade you for anything

Sin ti, ya no sé vivir

Without you, I don't know how to live anymore

Yo me muero si te largas

I'll die if you leave

Y es que yo te quiero así

And it's that I love you like that

Mi amor tóxico del alma

My toxic love of the soul

Y aunque nos cueste convivir

And even if it costs us to coexist

Contigo yo sí me casaba

I would marry you

Y lo que digan que nos valga

And what they say doesn't matter to us

...
