Verse 1
Te bloqueé de Insta– I blocked you on Insta
Pero por otra cuenta veo tus historias– But I could see your stories from another account
Tu número lo borré– I deleted your number
No sé pa’ qué si me lo sé de memoria– I don’t know why I know it off by heart
Pre-chorus
Me hiciste daño– You hurt me
Y así te extraño– And I still miss you
Y aunque sé que un día te voy a olvidar– And even though I know that one day I will forget you
Aún no lo hago– I dont want to
Es complicado– It’s complicated
To’ lo que hicimo’ me gusta recordar– I would like to remember everything we did
Chorus 1
Ando manejando– I am driving
Por las calles que me besaste– through the street where you kissed me
Oyendo las canciones– listening to the songs
Que un día me dedicaste– you once dedicated to me
Te diría que volvieras– I wish to tell you to come back
Pero eso no se pide– but that’s not what is being called for
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide– Best I pray for God to keep me safe
Chorus 2
Porque ando manejando– Because I am driving
Por las calles que me besaste– through the streets where you kissed me
Oyendo las canciones– listening to the songs
Que un día me dedicaste– you once dedicated to me
Te diría que volvieras– I wish to tell you to come back
Pero eso no se pide– but that’s not what is being called for
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide, eh– best I pray for God to keep me safe
Verse 2
Que me cuide de otra– That I cared for another
Que se parezca a ti– that looked like you
No quiero caer como hice por ti– No, I will not fall like I did for you
Ojalá te enamore– I hope you fall in love
Te haga lo mismo que me hiciste a mí– So they do to you same thing you did to me
Tú me enseñaste– you taught me
A no amar a cualquiera– not to love anyone
Y también como no quiero que me quieran– and also how I don’t want to be loved
No
éramos tres en una relación de dos– we were three in a relationship of two
No te perdono, pídele perdón a Dios– No I will not forgive you, ask God for forgiveness
Dije que te olvidé y la verdad e’ que yo– I said I will forget you and that’s the truth for me
Yo

Pero eso no se pide
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide
Chorus 2
Porque ando manejando
Por las calles que me besaste
Oyendo las canciones
Que un día me dedicaste
Te diría que volvieras
Pero eso no se pide
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide, eh
