Me prometí Lyrics by Iván Cornejo
Intro
eh (me prometí)
(para ti soy nada)
(nunca es suficiente para ti)
(me Prometí)
Verso 1
suéltala, No Es Pa’ Ti
Aunque pierdas esta guerra, déjala ir
Vete en el espejo y dime
¿Estás Feliz?
Tienes Que Despertar
Tienes que aceptar la verdad
No te tapes los ojos, no te quieras escapar
No le llames de nuevo cuando según querías cambiar
Coro
me Prometí
que nunca iba a hablar más de ti
Que te iba a olvidar (que te iba a olvidar)
me Prometí
que esta vez, esta vez
Según iba a cambiar
Verso 2
ardé tanto escuchar tu voz
Era dulce hasta que mintió
Quisiera ser más consciente
cumplir lo que es no quererte
Me tengo que ir
Me tengo que Ir
Puente
irme una vez más
y esta vez de verdad
ya no mirar hacia atrás
irme una vez más
y más nunca voltear
Ya necesito sanar
Coro
me Prometí
que nunca iba a hablar más de ti
Que te iba a olvidar (que te iba a olvidar)
me Prometí
que esta vez, esta vez
Según iba a cambiar (pensé que ya no iba a caer por tu amor)
Outro
suéltala, No Es Pa’ Ti
Me Prometí English Translation by Iván Cornejo
Intro
eh (I promised myself)
(To You, I am nothing)
(It’s never enough for you)
(I promised myself)
Verse 1
Let her go, she’s not for you
Even if you lose this war, let her go
Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me
Are you happy?
You have to wake up
You have to accept the truth
Don’t cover your eyes, don’t try to escape
Don’t call her again when you supposedly wanted to change
Chorus
I promised myself
I’d never speak of you again
That I was going to forget you
(That I was going to forget you)
I promised myself
That this time, this time
I was really going to change
Verse 2
It burns so much to hear your voice
It was sweet until it lied
I wish I were more aware
To follow through with not loving you
I have to go
I have to go
Bridge
Leave one more time
And this time for real
No longer look back
Leave one more time
And never turn around again
I need to heal now
Chorus
I promised myself
I’d never speak of you again
That I was going to forget you
(That I was going to forget you)
I promised myself
That this time, this time
I was really going to change
(I thought I wouldn’t fall for your love again)
Outro
Let her go, she’s not for you
