[English]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You came looking for me (Looking for me)

Because they failed you again (Again), yeah-yeah

You came looking for me (Looking for me)

But that game is over now (That game), yeah-yeah

Because I'm tired, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

Of you not appreciating my arms, my arms

And I'm tired, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

Of just being a maybe, a just in case

Tell her goodbye to your best option

Bye, I'm gone (I'm gone), I'm gone (I'm gone)

Tell her goodbye to your best option

Bye, I'm gone (I'm gone), I'm gone (I'm gone)

Eh-eh-eh

And nobody knows what they have until they lose it

And you won't even know

That nobody will ever love you like I do

Baby, you have no power over me anymore

And you always wanted a fairytale love, like unicorns

But they only gave you the horn

Another goddess who preferred hell

That jerk was going to hurt you, that was obvious

And it's not that I believe in eternal love

But thinking about if it's okay, I can't even sleep anymore

Your crazy idea of me being her husband

And me waiting like an idiot, I hate it

But I'm tired of being the second choice

And of summers that end in winter

Maybe Pisces just doesn't mix with Capricorn

Or that half-hearted love has become trendy, eh

And if it's real, I don't hide it, eh

If you're my goddess, I'll make a cult for you

But you got used to insults

And even if I die wanting to, we can't see each other, eh

One day yes, one day no, that's not tenderness

It's been a while since I called to eat with you

And today you come looking for me (Looking for me)

Because they failed you again (Again), yeah-yeah

You came looking for me (Looking for me)

But that game is over now (That game)

[Spanish]

Yeh, yeh, yeh

Yeh, yeh, yeh

Viniste buscándome (Buscándome)

Porque te fallaron de nuevo (De nuevo), yeh-eh

Viniste buscándome (Buscándome)

Pero ya se acabó ese juego (Ese juego), yeh-eh

Porque ya me cansé, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

De que no valores mis brazos, mis brazos

Y ya me cansé, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

De solo ser por si acaso, un por si acaso

Dile adiós a tu mejor opción

Bye, me fui (Me fui), me fui (Me fui)

Dile adiós a tu mejor opción

Bye, me fui (Me fui), me fui (Me fui)

Eh-eh-eh

Y nadie sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo pierde

Y tú ni quisiera va' a saber

Que cómo yo nadie te va a querer

Baby, sobre mí ya no tiene' poder

Y tú que siempre quería' un amor de fantasía, como lo' unicornio'

Pero solo te dieron el cuerno

Otra diosa má' que prefirió el infierno

Que ese cabrón te haría daño, eso era obvio

Y no es que yo crea en el amor eterno

Pero pensando en si está' bien, ya yo ni duermo

Tu mai loca de que yo sea su yerno

Y yo esperando como un tonto, ya me odio

Pero ya me cansé de ser el alterno

Y de lo' verano' que terminan en invierno

Quizá' es que piscis no mezcla con capricornio

O que el amor a media' se ha vuelto moderno, eh

Y si e' real yo no lo oculto, eh

Si ere' mi diosa, te hago un culto

Pero te acostumbraste a los insulto'

Y aunque muera de gana' no podemo' verno', eh

Un día sí, un día no, eso no e' tenerno'

Hace tiempo no llamaba' pa' comerno'

Y hoy vienes buscándome (Buscándome)

Porque te fallaron de nuevo (De nuevo), yeh-eh

Viniste buscándome (Buscándome)

Pero ya se acabó ese juego (Ese juego)
