Why didn't I kiss your soul when I still could?

Why didn't I embrace your life when I had it?

And I didn't even realize how much you were hurting

And I didn't know the harm I was doing to myself

...

How is it I never noticed you weren't smiling anymore?

And that before turning off the light, you weren't telling me anything anymore

That that love slipped away from you, that the day had come

That you no longer felt anything for me, that it didn't even hurt you anymore

...

I dedicated myself to losing you

And I was absent during moments that are gone forever

I dedicated myself to not seeing you

And I locked myself in my world and you couldn't stop me

And I pushed you away a thousand times

And when I came back, I had lost you forever

And I wanted to stop you

And then I discovered that you were looking at me differently

I dedicated myself to losing you

I dedicated myself to losing you

...

Why didn't I fill your life with me when there was still time?

Why couldn't I understand what I only now understand?

That you were everything to me and that I was blind

I put you off for later

This damned ego, mmh

I dedicated myself to losing you

And I was absent during moments that are gone forever

I dedicated myself to not seeing you

And I locked myself in my world and you couldn't stop me

And I pushed you away a thousand times

And when I came back, I had lost you forever

And I wanted to stop you

Then I discovered that you were looking at me differently

I dedicated myself to losing you

I dedicated myself to losing you

...

[Spanish]

¿Por qué no te besé en el alma cuando aún podía?

¿Por qué no te abracé la vida cuando la tenía?

Y yo que no me daba cuenta cuánto te dolía

Y yo que no sabía el daño que me hacía

¿Cómo es que nunca me fijé que ya no sonreías?

Y que antes de apagar la luz, ya nada me decías

Que aquel amor se te escapó que había llegado el día

Que ya no me sentías, que ya ni te dolía

Me dediqué a perderte

Y me ausenté en momentos que se han ido para siempre

Me dediqué a no verte

Y me encerré en mi mundo y no pudiste detenerme

Y me alejé mil veces

Y cuando regresé te había perdido para siempre

Y quise detenerte

Y entonces descubrí que ya mirabas diferente

Me dediqué a perderte

Me dediqué a perderte

¿Por qué no te llené de mí cuando aún había tiempo?

¿Por qué no pude comprender lo que hasta ahora entiendo?

Que fuiste todo para mí y que yo estaba ciego

Te dejé para luego

Este maldito ego, mmh

Me dediqué a perderte

Y me ausenté en momentos que se han ido para siempre

Me dediqué a no verte

Y me encerré en mi mundo y no pudiste detenerme

Y me alejé mil veces

Y cuando regresé te había perdido para siempre

Y quise detenerte

Entonces descubrí que ya mirabas diferente

Me dediqué a perderte

Me dediqué a perderte
