Me Soltaste

• By: JESSE & JOY

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Dices que fui yo, y no fui yo

You say it was me, but it wasn't me

Que nunca te amé de verdad

That I never truly loved you

Que rabia me da

It makes me so angry

Diste tu versión

You gave your version

Pero olvidaste

But you forgot

Que me soltaste, me soltaste

That you let me go, you let me go

Cuando más necesitaba aferrarme

When I needed to hold on the most

Apostaste y me obligaste

You bet and forced me

A buscar en otras partes amor

To look for love elsewhere

Oh-oh yo sé

Oh-oh I know

Que en ese escenario igual jugué mi papel

That in that scenario, I also played my part

Oh-oh lo sé, se ha hecho tarde para volver

Oh-oh I know, it's too late to go back

Tu tan reservado

You so reserved

Y yo pidiendo tanto de ti

And I asking so much of you

Tanto de mi

So much of me

Tu mano era mi fe

Your hand was my faith

Mi propia piel y de repente

My own skin and suddenly

Me soltaste, me soltaste

You let me go, you let me go

Cuando más necesitaba aferrarme

When I needed to hold on the most

Apostaste y me obligaste

You bet and forced me

A buscar en otras partes amor

To look for love elsewhere

No, (oh-oh) yo sé

No, (oh-oh) I know

Que en ese escenario igual jugué mi papel

That in that scenario, I also played my part

Oh-oh lo sé, se ha hecho tarde para volver

Oh-oh I know, it's too late to go back

Me soltaste, me soltaste

You let me go, you let me go

Cuando más necesitaba aferrarme

When I needed to hold on the most

Apostaste y me obligaste

You bet and forced me

A buscar en otras partes amor

To look for love elsewhere

Y no oh-oh, yo sé

And no oh-oh, I know

Que en ese escenario igual jugué mi papel

That in that scenario, I also played my part

Oh-oh lo sé, es demasiado tarde para volver

Oh-oh I know, it's too late to go back

Oh-oh, lo sé

Oh-oh, I know

Lo sé,

I know,

Lo sé

I know
