[English]

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

That I never truly loved you

It makes me so angry

You gave your version

But you forgot

That you let me go, you let me go

When I needed to hold on the most

You bet and forced me

To look for love elsewhere

Oh-oh I know

That in that scenario, I also played my part

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

You so reserved

And I asking so much of you

So much of me

Your hand was my faith

My own skin and suddenly

You let me go, you let me go

When I needed to hold on the most

You bet and forced me

To look for love elsewhere

No, (oh-oh) I know

That in that scenario, I also played my part

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

You let me go, you let me go

When I needed to hold on the most

You bet and forced me

To look for love elsewhere

And no oh-oh, I know

That in that scenario, I also played my part

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

Oh-oh, I know

I know,

I know

...

[Spanish]

Dices que fui yo, y no fui yo

Que nunca te amé de verdad

Que rabia me da

Diste tu versión

Pero olvidaste

Que me soltaste, me soltaste

Cuando más necesitaba aferrarme

Apostaste y me obligaste

A buscar en otras partes amor

Oh-oh yo sé

Que en ese escenario igual jugué mi papel

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

Tu tan reservado

Y yo pidiendo tanto de ti

Tanto de mi

Tu mano era mi fe

Mi propia piel y de repente

Me soltaste, me soltaste

Cuando más necesitaba aferrarme

Apostaste y me obligaste

A buscar en otras partes amor

No, (oh-oh) yo sé

Que en ese escenario igual jugué mi papel

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

Me soltaste, me soltaste

Cuando más necesitaba aferrarme

Apostaste y me obligaste

A buscar en otras partes amor

Y no oh-oh, yo sé

Que en ese escenario igual jugué mi papel

Oh-oh lo sé, es demasiado tarde para volver

Oh-oh, lo sé

Lo sé,

Lo sé
