This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Los tiempos son duros, son deficil
No entiendo por que hubo tanto sacrificio
Tal vez es que no fuimos tan afortunados
Esos tiempos han pasado por que a cada cual nos amamos
Trabajando para vivir en tiempos malos
No aceptamos perder asi
Me dieron lo que no pudieron tener
Y no dejo que pase un dia sin darle gracias a el
Con dios estoy bien
Los tiempos duros se mejoran estamos muy bien
Pero el dinero nunca sobra
Sabes para mi ese dinero no me importa
Yo tengo mi familia lo mas importante en me vida
Esto es para mi madre ella me enseño a querer
Y para mis ermanos que me ayudaron mantener
Esto es para mi padre
Me dio la fuerza para defender
Para toda mi gente y dios por el poder
I thank God and all Family did their best
And now it's up to me
translation:
The times are hard, are deficil I do not understand Perhaps so that there was as much sacrifice is that we were not so lucky Those times have happened so that everyone we loved ourselves Working to live in bad times we did not accept to lose asi gave Me what they could not have and I do not leave spends a day without thanking to him to With God I am well The hard times improve we are very well But the money never surplus You know for my that money does not concern I to me I have my family but important in me the life This is for my mother she I am taught to want and for my ermanos that helped to maintain me This is for my father gave the force to defend Me For all my people and God by the power I thank God and all Family did to their best And now it's up to me
