[English]

You forgot to kiss me on these lips that have been broken

You forgot my hand when walking

You forgot to look at me with the sparkle in your eyes

It seems you don't want to remember

But someday you'll want to come back when you see me doing well

Kissing love on other lips

And your heart will ache, and you will see

That you were so wrong

If I was the one who loved you

I was the one who gave everything for you

I was the one who every day

Only wanted to make you happy

The one who blindly trusted you with her soul

I was the one who loves you unconditionally

The one who gave you her heart upfront

And you would forget it

But you will see, and you will see

You'll want to come back

And you will see, you will see

You'll want to come back

...

You forgot to hug me when my soul was cold

And rescue me from this loneliness

You forgot that you always swore you'd be with me

It seems you don't want to remember

But someday you'll want to come back when you see me doing well

Kissing love on other lips

And your heart will ache, and you will see

That you were so wrong

If I was the one who loved you

I was the one who gave everything for you

I was the one who every day

Only wanted to make you happy

The one who blindly trusted you with her soul

I was the one who loves you unconditionally

The one who gave you her heart upfront

And you would forget it

...

You will see

You will see

...

You will see

You will see

...

If I was the one who loved you

I was the one who gave everything for you

I was the one who every day

Only wanted to make you happy

The one who blindly trusted you with her soul

I was the one who loves you unconditionally

The one who gave you her heart upfront

And you would forget it

But you will see, and you will see

You'll want to come back

...

You'll want to come back

...

[Spanish]

Se te olvido besarme en estos labios que se han roto

Se te olvido mi mano al caminar

Se te olvido mirarme con el brillo de tus ojos

Parece que no quieres recordar

Pero algún día vas a querer volver al verme bien

Besando amor en otros labios

Y el corazón te va a doler, y vas a ver

Que estabas tan equivocado

Si fui quien te quería

Fui quien daba todo por ti

Fui quien cada día

Solo quiso hacerte feliz

Quien te confiaba el alma ciegamente

Fui quien te ama incondicionalmente

Quien te entregó su corazón de frente

Y tú lo olvidarías

Pero vas a ver, y vas a ver

Vas a querer volver

Y vas a ver, tú vas a ver

Vas a querer volver

Se te olvido abrazarme cuando el alma tuvo frío

Y rescatarme de esta soledad

Se te olvido que siempre me juraste estar conmigo

Parece que no quieres recordar

Pero algún día vas a querer volver al verme bien

Besando amor en otros labios

Y el corazón te va a doler, y vas a ver

Que estabas tan equivocado

Si fui quien te quería

Fui quien daba todo por ti

Fui quien cada día

Solo quiso hacerte feliz

Quien te confiaba el alma ciegamente

Fui quien te ama incondicionalmente

Quien te entregó su corazón de frente

Y tú lo olvidarías

Vas a ver

Vas a ver

Vas a ver

Vas a ver

Si fui quien te quería

Fui quien daba todo por ti

Fui quien cada día

Solo quiso hacerte feliz

Quien te confiaba el alma ciegamente

Fui quien te ama incondicionalmente

Quien te entregó su corazón de frente

Y tú lo olvidarías

Pero vas a ver y vas a ver

Vas a querer volver

Vas a querer volver
