Pude - Alejandro Fernandez

Pude, decir que no eras lo que yo buscaba

Y que tú solamente me gustabas

Para pasar el rato y nada más

Pude, pero a mí no me gustan las mentiras

Y preferí decir que te quería

Aunque ahora entiendo que debí callar

Pude, tomarte solamente como un juego

Pero me hice ilusiones con tus besos

Y ahora sólo me toca aceptar

Que pude haber sido más maduro

O ser más inteligente

Para darme cuenta a tiempo

Que tú no ibas a quererme

Y saber que tú conmigo te querías divertir

O pude haber escondido mis cartas

O tal vez sólo mentirte para que no te asustaras

Y decirte que tu amor no me importaba

Y es tan claro que tú seguirías aquí

Pude haber dejado las cursilerías para otra relación

Pero siempre que me entrego me domina el corazón

Y por eso aunque pude hoy me quedo sin tu amor

Pude, tomarte solamente como un juego

Pero me hice ilusiones con tus besos

Y ahora sólo me toca aceptar

Que pude haber sido más maduro

O ser más inteligente

Para darme cuenta a tiempo

Que tú no ibas a quererme

Y saber que tú conmigo te querías divertir

O pude haber escondido mis cartas

O tal vez sólo mentirte para que no te asustaras

Y decirte que tu amor no me importaba

Y es tan claro que tú seguirías aquí

Pude haber dejado las cursilerías para otra relación

Pero siempre que me entrego me domina el corazón

Y por eso aunque pude hoy me quedo sin tu amor

I could say that you were not what I was looking for

And that I only liked you

To pass the time and nothing more

I could, but I don't like lies

And I preferred to say that I loved you

Although now I understand that I should have kept quiet

I could take you only as a game

But I had illusions with your kisses

And now I just have to accept

that I could have been more mature

Or be smarter

To realize in time

That you weren't going to love me

And knowing that you wanted to have fun with me

Or I could have hidden my cards

Or maybe just lie to you so you wouldn't be scared

And tell you that your love didn't matter to me

And it's so clear that you would still be here

I could have left the kitsch for another relationship

But whenever I surrender my heart dominates

And that's why even though I could today I'm left without your love

I could take you only as a game

But I had illusions with your kisses

And now I just have to accept

that I could have been more mature

Or be smarter

To realize in time

That you weren't going to love me

And knowing that you wanted to have fun with me

Or I could have hidden my cards

Or maybe just lie to you so you wouldn't be scared

And tell you that your love didn't matter to me

And it's so clear that you would still be here

I could have left the kitsch for another relationship

But whenever I surrender my heart dominates

And that's why even though I could today I'm left without your love
