[English]

[music]

You, you came [music] into my life to

teach me. You

knew how to ignite me and then blow me out. You

made yourself indispensable [music][singing]

to me, and

and

with my eyes [music] closed, I followed you.

If I was looking for pain, I found it.

[music]

You aren't the person I thought, that I believed,

that [music] you

lie,

[music] you hurt me and then you

regret it.

There's [music] no point in you

trying anymore.

I don't have the desire to [music] feel

you coming

when I am [music] about to

forget you.

Find your way somewhere else. [music]

I'm making up for the time I lost.

Because today I'm better

[music] without you. [singing]

I'm

going [music] once again to remember who I am,

knowing what you give and what I give.

[music]

There is no room left in me for you.

[music]

Time belongs only to oneself, and I understood.

[music]

Things don't just happen for no reason.

You aren't the person I thought, [music]

that I believed,

that I asked for, and [music] you lie.

You hurt me and then you regret it.

There's no point in [music] you

trying anymore.

I don't have the desire to feel

you arrive.

[music]

When I am about to forget you,

find your [music] way somewhere else,

while I look for the time that [music]

I lost,

because today I'm better without [music] you,

because today I'm better without you. [music]

Oh.

[music]

you come

when I am about to forget you.

Find your way somewhere else [music]

while I look for the time I lost.

Because today I'm better without you, [music]

because today I'm better without you,

because today I'm [music] better without you.

Tú, tú llegaste [música] a mi vida para

Si yo busqué dolor, lo conseguí.

[música]

No eres la persona que pensé, que creí,

que [música] pí

mientes,

[música] me haces daño y luego te

arrepientes.

Ya [música] no tiene caso que lo

intentes.

No me queden ganas de [música] sentir

llegas

cuando estoy [música] a punto de

olvidarte.

Busca tu camino en otra parte. [música]

Me traduzco el tiempo que perdí.
