Pude

Pude, decir que no eres lo que yo buscaba

I could have said that you're not what I was looking for

Y que tú solamente me gustabas para pasar el rato y nada más

And that I only liked you for passing the time and nothing more

Pude, pero a mi no me gustan las mentiras y preferí decir que te quería

I could have, but I don't like lies, so I chose to say I loved you

Aunque entiendo que debí callar

Although I understand that I should have stayed silent

Pude tomarte solamente como un juego

I could have just taken you as a game

Pero me hice ilusiones con tus besos y ahora sólo me toca aceptar

But I built illusions with your kisses, and now I just have to accept

Que pude haber sido más maduro o ser más inteligente

That I could have been more mature or more intelligent

Para darme cuenta a tiempo que tú no ibas a quererme

To realize in time that you wouldn't love me

Y saber que tú conmigo te querías divertir

And to know that with me, you just wanted to have fun

O pude haber escondido mis cartas o tal vez sólo mentirte

Or I could have hidden my cards or maybe just lied to you

Para que no te asustaras y decirte que tu amor no me importaba

So you wouldn't be scared and tell you that your love didn't matter to me

Y es tan claro que tú seguirías aquí

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

Pude haber dejado las cursilerías para otra relación

I could have saved the sweetness for another relationship

Pero siempre que me entrego me domina el corazón

But whenever I give myself, my heart takes over

Y por eso aunque pude hoy me quedo sin tu amor

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

Pude tomarte solamente como un juego

I could have just taken you as a game

Pero me hice ilusiones con tus besos y ahora sólo me toca aceptar

But I built illusions with your kisses, and now I just have to accept

Que pude haber sido más maduro o ser más inteligente

That I could have been more mature or more intelligent

Para darme cuenta a tiempo que tú no ibas a quererme

To realize in time that you wouldn't love me

Y saber que tú conmigo te querías divertir

And to know that with me, you just wanted to have fun

O pude haber escondido mis cartas o tal vez sólo mentirte

Or I could have hidden my cards or maybe just lied to you

Para que no te asustaras y decirte que tu amor no me importaba

So you wouldn't be scared and tell you that your love didn't matter to me

Y es tan claro que tú seguirías aquí

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

Pude haber dejado las cursilerías para otra relación

I could have saved the sweetness for another relationship

Pero siempre que me entrego me domina el corazón

But whenever I give myself, my heart takes over

Y por eso hoy que pude hoy me quedo sin tu amor

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