Verse 1
No te preocupes por mí que yo estoy viviendo muy bien
Ya no siento nada, no te pienso como ayer
Las caricias y los besos, ya los olvidé
Con amigos y botellas, me la paso al cien
El tiempo lo cura todo, ya lo comprobé
In this verse, the narrator starts off with a confident tone, telling his ex not to worry about him. He claims he's doing great and has moved on, even saying he doesn't think about her anymore. But there’s a hint of denial here. He mentions being surrounded by friends and drinks, which suggests he's distracting himself from his feelings. The line about time healing all wounds feels like he's trying to convince himself more than anyone else.
Chorus
Las heridas que dejaste, con alcohol me las curé
Uno de gelato y de la mente te borré
Hoy tengo a la banda tocándome todo el mes
Con corridos y mujeres, veo el amanecer
Ya no pienses en llamarme, no contestaré
The chorus dives into how he’s coping with the pain. He’s using alcohol to numb the emotional wounds left by his ex. The idea of erasing her from his mind with drinks shows his struggle. He tries to fill the void with fun and partying, but there’s still a sense of unresolved feelings. Asking her not to call him suggests he’s trying to set boundaries, but it also implies he’s not entirely over her yet.
Verse 2
Siempre nos peleábamos por puras tonterías
Yo sin darme cuenta que tú ya no me querías
Esperando como tonto a ver si volverías
Siempre con el cuento que andabas con tus amigas
In this verse, he reflects on their relationship, pointing out how they fought over silly things. It’s a moment of clarity where he realizes she didn’t love him anymore, but he was too caught up to see it. The lines about waiting for her to return show his vulnerability and longing, revealing that he was holding onto hope even when things were falling apart.
Chorus
Ahora ando tomándome unos tragos de tequila
Me acabé la barra y no te olvido todavía
No sale de mi cabeza tu linda sonrisa
Siento que todo alrededor se me viene encima
This chorus repeats the theme of drinking as a coping mechanism. He admits he still hasn’t forgotten her, which contradicts his earlier claims of moving on. The memory of her smile haunts him, and he feels overwhelmed by his emotions. This contrast highlights his internal battle, where he’s trying to be tough but still craves the connection they had.
Bridge
Las historias que vivimos, hace meses las borré
Dejamos este cuento que terminé en su bien
Me merezco alguien que sí me sepa querer
Me fallaste, aun estando siempre a tus pies
Los finales son duros pero no puede ser
The bridge sees him reflecting on their shared history, suggesting that he’s tried to erase their memories but finds it difficult. He acknowledges that their relationship ended for a reason and expresses a desire to find someone who genuinely loves him. This part reveals growth, as he recognizes he deserves better, but it also shows the pain of accepting the end of a chapter.
Outro
Las heridas en mi mente no las pude superar
Así que dejémonos que te vaya genial
Deseo que no llores, aunque este ya sea al final
Cerré este capítulo, ahora ya déjame en paz
El dolor en mi pecho, el tiempo se lo va a llevar
In the outro, he admits that he hasn’t fully healed from the emotional scars. He wishes her well but firmly states he wants to move on.

Ya no siento nada, no te pienso como ayer
Las caricias y los besos, ya los olvidé
Con amigos y botellas, me la paso al cien
El tiempo lo cura todo, ya lo comprobé
Las heridas que dejaste, con alcohol me las curé

Hoy tengo a la banda tocándome todo el mes
Con corridos y mujeres, veo el amanecer
Ya no pienses en llamarme, no contestaré
Siempre nos peleábamos por puras tonterías
Yo sin darme cuenta que tú ya no me querías
Esperando como tonto a ver si volverías
Siempre con el cuento que andabas con tus amigas
Y ahora ando tomando unos tragos de tequila
Me acabé la barra y no te olvido todavía
No sale de mi cabeza tu linda sonrisa
Siento que todo alrededor se me viene encima
Las historias que vivimos, hace meses las borré
Dejamos este cuento que terminé en su bien
Me merezco alguien que sí me sepa querer

Cerré este capítulo, ahora ya déjame en paz
El dolor en mi pecho, el tiempo se lo va a llevar

Ahora ando tomándome unos tragos de tequila
Me acabé la barra y no te olvido todavía
No sale de mi cabeza tu linda sonrisa
Siento que todo alrededor se me viene encima
