It wasn't your fault, nor mine
It was the monotony's fault
I never said anything but it hurt me
I knew that this would happen
Postchorus 1
You in yours, me doing the same
Always searching for the limelight
You forgot what one day we were
And the worst is that
Chorus 2
It wasn't your fault, nor mine
It was the monotony's fault
I never said anything but it hurt me
I knew that this would happen
Postchorus 2
Suddenly you weren't the same anymore
You left me because of your narcissism
You forgot what one day we were
Verse 2
You distant with your attitude
And that filled me with anxiety
You didn't give even half
But yes I know that I gave more than you
I was running for someone who wasn't even walking for me
This love hasn't died, but it's delirious
Now of what there was, there is nothing
I tell you with sincerity
Everything is cold like Christmas
It's better that this ends now
Don't repeat the movie again, because that I already saw
Because I love you, but it's that I love more myself
It's a necessary goodbye
What was once incredible became routine
Your lips don't taste like anything to me
Now everything is the opposite, and the worst is that
Chorus 3
It wasn't your fault, nor mine
It was the monotony's fault
I never said anything but it hurt me
I knew that this would happen
Postchorus 3
You in yours, me doing the same
Always searching for the limelight
And you forgot what one day we were
