Verse 1.1
You always said
Or: You would always say
That you would never leave but that it would be fine
Not fighting for what you want
Only has one name and it's called losing
If I hurt you it was without intention and not without loving you
Or: If I hurt you it was without intention and not because I didn't love you
Just tell me what you prefer
If you have the option to have or to fear
Verse 1.2
You only think about how it ends
I only think aboout how I will end up
One day you tell me I lack motivation
Lit. One day you tell me "I am missing the wins"
Another I think I never won you over
Verse 1.3
I, who did everything so that you would stay
Now I think, what was I left with?
Lost time or perhaps I've gained it
From missing you to saying I threw you out
Chorus 1
I'm sorry, for making you waste your time
Or: Sorry for wasting your time
For thinking of giving it another try
For having you, fighting for you, and feeling for you, would make you happy
I explode, because sometimes I don't even understand myself
Or: I burst, because sometimes I don't even understand myself
How am I going to understand us
Lit. How am I going to understand ours [relationship]
If I never even understood you
Verse 2.1
I know that caring about the past
Which was killing me before only means to grow
That we've never been two
Since including fear we were three
Because we are so much alike
That if you leave I leave as well
The mistake is having a problem and never learning [from it]
Or: The failure is having a problem and never learning [from it]
Verse 2.2
If you're going to stay, let it be with me
If you're going to run, let it be to the edge
I know that the future wasn't ahead
Now I realize that it is with you
Verse 2.3
I gained time and it's not lost
I never remember but I don't forget
There are more letters which were never given
Because there isn't more strength for whoever wrote it
Or: Because the one who wrote them no longer has the strength
Chorus 2
I'm sorry, for making you waste your time
Or: Sorry for wasting your time
For thinking of giving it another try
For having you, fighting for you, and feeling for you, would make you happy
I explode, because sometimes I don't even understand myself
Or: I burst, because sometimes I don't even understand myself
How am I going to understand us
Lit. How am I going to understand ours [relationship]
If I never even understood you
Verse 3.1
Because your successes will tell where you are
And your failures just where to go
What good is quantity to me
If only intensity will make me happy
Verse 3.2
Before doing what is going to destroy us
I prefer to save you and to make you
"Hacerte a ti" is not grammatically correct but it is clearly used as a play on words that fits the idea of the previous line about "destroying" (the opposite would be "to make something")
You don't understand anymore that I cannot give you
Or: You no longer understand that I cannot give you
That which I don't have and doesn't live in me
Chorus 3
I'm sorry, for making you waste your time
Or: Sorry for wasting your time
For thinking of giving it another try
For having you, fighting for you, and feeling for you, would make you happy
I explode, because sometimes I don't even understand myself
Or: I burst, because sometimes I don't even understand myself
How am I going to understand us
Lit. How am I going to understand ours [relationship]
If I never even understood you
Verse 4.1
You always said
Or: You would always say
That you would never leave but that it would be fine
Not fighting for what you want
Has only one name and it's called losing
If I hurt you it was without intention and not without loving you
Or: If I hurt you it was without intention and not because I didn't love you
Just tell me what you prefer
If you have the option to have or to fear
