La Culpa Fue Mía

The Blame Was Mine

La Culpa Fue Mía

I could call you a narcissistPodría decirte narcisista
A liar and so much moreMentiroso y mucho más
And I gave you everything, but to you, it meant nothing at allY yo por ti di todo y pa' ti eso no valió na'
But speaking to you honestly and with all sincerityPero hablándote la plena y con toda sinceridad
Well, the truth is, ah-ah-ahPues la verdad, ah-ah-ah

The blame was all mineLa culpa solo fue mía
For hoping you would changePor esperar que cambiaras
Wishing that somedayQueriendo que algún día
You'd finally value mePor fin me valoraras

If I knew you didn't love meSi sabía que no me querías
I don't know why I stayedNo sé por qué me quedaba
Love isn't something you beg for, you don't plead, you don't tie downEl amor no se mendiga, no se ruega, no se amarra

So the blame is on mePor eso la culpa es mía
For hoping you would changePor esperar que cambiaras
For trying to save thisPor intentar salvar esto
Knowing there was nothingSabiendo que no hay nada

It was fifteen hundred nights crying inconsolablyFueron mil quinientas noches llorando desconsolada
To finally realizePara por fin darme cuenta
That you didn't careQue no te importaba

That you didn't, you didn't, you didn't-oh-ohQue no, que no, que no-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh
That you didn't careQue no te importaba
Ah, ah, ahAh, ah, ah

You hurt me without meaning to and without loving meMe hacía daño sin querer y sin quererme
And even though it hurt, I never knew how to let goY aunque dolía, nunca supe desprenderme
I thought we were so united we could overcome anythingYo tan unidos todo puede superarse
You thought if something went wrong, you should just leaveTú tan si algo falla hay que marcharse

Begging for you to stay, what did I end up with?Rogando porque te quedaras ¿con qué me quedé?
With the pain, we weren't two, we were threeCon el dolor no éramos dos, éramos tres
Giving more than you have is falling into an abyssDar más de lo que tienes es caer en un abismo
And you end up in debt to yourselfY quedas en deuda contigo mismo

I hold no grudgeNo te guardo rencor
I thank you for the painTe agradezco el dolor
It was what taught meFue lo que me enseñó
It wasn't you, it was meNo eras tú, era yo

So the blame is on mePor eso la culpa es mía
For hoping you would changePor esperar que cambiaras
Wishing that somedayQueriendo que algún día
You'd finally value mePor fin me valoraras

If I knew you didn't love meSi sabía que no me querías
I don't know why I stayedNo sé por qué me quedaba
Love isn't something you beg for, you don't plead, you don't tie downEl amor no se mendiga, no se ruega, no se amarra

So the blame is on mePor eso la culpa es mía
For hoping you would changePor esperar que cambiaras
For trying to save thisPor intentar salvar esto
Knowing there was nothingSabiendo que no hay nada

It was fifteen hundred nights crying inconsolablyFueron mil quinientas noches llorando desconsolada
To finally realizePara por fin darme cuenta
That you didn't careQue no te importaba
That you didn't, you didn'tQue no, que no
