Te bloqueé de Insta
I blocked you on Insta
Pero por otra cuenta veo tus historias (oh-oh-oh)
But from another account, I see your stories (oh-oh-oh)
Tu número lo borré
I deleted your number
No sé pa qué si me lo sé de memoria
I don't know why when I know it by heart
Me hiciste daño y así te extraño
You hurt me and yet I miss you
Y aunque sé que un día te voy a olvidar
And even though I know that one day I'll forget you
Aún no lo hago, es complicado
I'm not there yet, it's complicated
To lo que hicimo me gusta recordar
Everything we did, I like to remember
Ando manejando por las calles que me besaste
I'm driving through the streets where you kissed me
Oyendo las canciones que un día me dedicaste
Listening to the songs you once dedicated to me
Te diría que volvieras, pero eso no se pide
I'd tell you to come back, but that's not how it's done
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide
Better to ask God to watch over me
Porque ando manejando por las calles que me besaste
Because I'm driving through the streets where you kissed me
Oyendo las canciones que un día me dedicaste
Listening to the songs you once dedicated to me
Te diría que volvieras, pero eso no se pide
I'd tell you to come back, but that's not how it's done
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide
Better to ask God to watch over me
Que me cuide de otra que se parezca a ti
To protect me from another girl like you
No quiero caer como hice por ti
I don't want to fall like I did for you
Ojalá te enamore', te hagan lo mismo que me hiciste a mí
I hope you fall in love, and they do to you what you did to me
Tú me enseñaste a no amar a cualquiera
You taught me not to love just 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
No, there were three of us in a relationship of two
No te perdono, pídele perdón a Dios
I don't forgive you, ask God for forgiveness
Dije que te olvidé y la verdad es que yo, yo
I said I forgot you, and the truth is I, I
Ando manejando por las calles que me besaste
I'm driving through the streets where you kissed me
Oyendo las canciones que un día me dedicaste
Listening to the songs you once dedicated to me
Te diría que volvieras, pero eso no se pide
I'd tell you to come back, but that's not how it's done
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide
Better to ask God to watch over me
Porque ando manejando por las calles que me besaste
Because I'm driving through the streets where you kissed me
Oyendo las canciones que un día me dedicaste
Listening to the songs you once dedicated to me
Te diría que volvieras, pero eso no se pide
I'd tell you to come back, but that's not how it's done
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide
Better to ask God to watch over me
