[English]

You loved tearing me apart

While I was looking for wise things

To say in my defense

But you don't accept them

I'm, I'm, I'm tired now

I'm tired of you

I fell for your lies

But I cushioned the fall

Well, I learned from the best

Look, I'm better off now!

You know well

I find it hard to let you know

I find it hard to see

Nothing is to your liking

You know I love you and I can't take it, I can't take it

And just look, the two of us

We promised something that didn't come true

You did it to me again

I can't believe it anymore

I hope one day it comes back to you

I wish I could hate you

It would make things easier

I wish I could, I wish I could

You would never recognize a good thing

Not even if it's right in front of you

And slit your throat

That would be interesting (Now, now, now it's over!)

It's all over

You lost out on the best

And I always told you many times

That I am the best (I am the best!)

You know well

I find it hard to let you know

I find it hard to see

Nothing is to your liking

You know I love you and I can't take it, I can't take it

And just look, the two of us

We promised something that didn't come true

You did it to me again

I can't believe it anymore

I hope one day it comes back to you

...

You know well

I find it hard to let you know

I find it hard to see

Nothing is to your liking

You know I love you and I can't take it, I can't take it

And just look, the two of us

We promised something that didn't come true

You did it to me again

I can't believe it anymore

I hope one day it comes back to you

...

[Spanish]

Te encantó el destrozarme

Mientras yo buscaba cosas sabias

Que decir en mi defensa

Pero no las aceptas

Ya, ya, ya me cansé

Me cansé de ti

En tus mentiras yo caí

Pero amortigüe la caída

Pues del mejor aprendí

¡Mira, mejor ahora estoy!

Sabes bien

Se me dificulta hacerte saber

Se me dificulta ver

Nada es de tu agrado

Sabes que te amo y no lo aguanto, no lo aguanto

Y fíjate que los dos

Prometimos algo que no se cumplió

Me lo hiciste otra vez

Ya no lo puedo creer

Ojalá y un día se te regrese

Quisiera poder odiarte

Vería las cosas más fácil

Quisiera poder, quisiera poder

Nunca reconocerías una cosa buena

Ni aunque esté enfrente

Y te corte la garganta

Eso sería interesante (¡ya, ya, ya terminó!)

Todo terminó

Te perdiste del mejor

Y siempre te dije muchas veces

Que yo soy el mejor (¡Yo soy el mejor!)

Sabes bien

Se me dificulta hacerte saber

Se me dificulta ver

Nada es de tu agrado

Sabes que te amo y no lo aguanto, no lo aguanto

Y fíjate que los dos

Prometimos algo que no se cumplió

Me lo hiciste otra vez

Ya no lo puedo creer

Ojalá y un día se te regrese

Sabes bien

Se me dificulta hacerte saber

Se me dificulta ver

Nada es de tu agrado

Sabes que te amo y no lo aguanto, no lo aguanto

Y fíjate que los dos

Prometimos algo que no se cumplió

Me lo hiciste otra vez

Ya no lo puedo creer

Ojalá y un día se te regrese
