Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Don't call the phone anymore

Stop messing up my life even more

Find yourself another jerk

And I'll give you some cash if you find some dude better than me

But you know that's not true, oh, oh

Drop it

I already know your tricks, you're such a smooth talker

But I know them all

Why keep pretending that we still love each other

When this was never more than "almost something"

Too bad

Baby, I don’t see you anymore

Now you have to miss what you lost, you already left

Please, do me a favor

Quickly

Baby, delete the photos

Because I already deleted you completely from my life

And your "almost something"

Your "almost everything"

Your "almost always"

Your "just too bad"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Your "almost something"

...

Your "almost something"

Drop it

I already know your tricks, you're such a smooth talker

But I know them all

Why keep pretending that we still love each other

When that was never more than "almost something"

Too bad

Baby, I don’t see you anymore

Now you have to miss what you lost, you already left

Please, do me a favor

Quickly

Baby, delete the photos

Because I already deleted you completely from my life

And your "almost something"

Your "almost everything"

Your "almost always"

Just too bad

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Your "almost something"

...

...

Your "almost something"

...

[Spanish]

Ya no llames al phone

Deja de estar jodiéndome la vida más

Búscate otro cabrón

Y te paso una feria si te topas otro güey mejor que yo

Pero sabes que no, oh, oh

Túmbate el rollo

Ya conozco tus mañas, tienes mucha labia

Pero todas me las sé

Pa qué seguir fingiendo que aún nos amamos

Cuando esto nunca fue nomás "casi algo"

Ni modo

Baby, ya no te topo

Te toca extrañar lo que perdiste, ya te fuiste

Porfa, hazme un paro

En corto

Mami, borra las fotos

Que yo ya te borré completamente de mi vida

Y sе retira

Tu "casi algo"

Tu "casi todo"

Tu "casi siempre"

Tu "ya ni modo"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Tu "casi algo"

Tu "casi algo"

Túmbate el rollo

Ya conozco tus mañas, tienes mucha labia

Pero todas me las sé

Pa qué seguir fingiendo que aún nos amamos

Cuando eso nunca fue no más de "casi algo"

Ni modo

Baby, ya no te topo

Te toca extrañar lo que perdiste, ya te fuiste

Porfa, hazme un paro

En corto

Mami, borra las fotos

Que yo ya te borré completamente de mi vida

Y sе retira

Tu "casi algo"

Tu "casi todo"

Tu "casi siempre"

Ya ni modo

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Tu "casi algo"

Tu "casi algo"
