Letra (Lyrics)
Verse 1 (Luis Fonsi):
Tengo en esta historia algo que confesar
(I have something to confess in this story)
Ya entendí muy bien qué fue lo que pasó
(I now fully understand what happened)
Y aunque duela tanto, tengo que aceptar
(And even though it hurts so much, I have to accept)
Que tú no eres la mala, que el malo soy yo
(That you’re not the bad one; the bad one is me)
Pre-Chorus (Luis Fonsi):
No me conociste nunca de verdad
(You never truly got to know me)
Ya se fue la magia que te enamoró
(The magic that made you fall in love is gone)
Y es que no quisiera estar en tu lugar
(And I wouldn’t want to be in your place)
Porque tu error solo fue conocerme
(Because your only mistake was meeting me)
Chorus (Luis Fonsi & Demi Lovato):
No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (soy yo)
(It’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s me)
No te quiero hacer sufrir
(I don’t want to make you suffer)
Es mejor olvidar y dejarlo así (así)
(It’s better to forget and leave it like this)
Échame la culpa
(Blame me)
Verse 2
Ok, sé que fue mi error, solamente te falta un beso
(Okay, I know it was my mistake. You just need one more kiss)
Échame la culpa
(Blame me)
Bridge:
Solamente te falta un beso
(You’re only missing one kiss)
Ese beso que siempre te prometí
(That kiss I always promised you)
Outro:
No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (soy yo) (repeated)
