Me dediqué a perderte

¿Por qué no te besé en el alma
cuando aún podía?
¿Por qué no te abracé la vida
cuando la tenía?
Y yo que no me daba cuenta
cuanto te dolía
y yo que no sabía
el daño que me hacía
 
¿Cómo es que nunca me fije
que ya no sonreías?
Y que antes de apagar la luz
ya nada me decías
Que aquel amor se te escapó
que había llegado el día
que ya no me sentías
que ya ni te dolía
 
Me dediqué a perderte
y me ausenté en momentos
que se han ido para siempre
 
Me dediqué a no verte
y me encerré en mi mundo
y no pudiste detenerme
 
Y me alejé mil veces
y cuando regresé
te había perdido para siempre
y quise detenerte
 
Entonces descubrí
que ya mirabas diferente
me dediqué a perderte
me dediqué a perderte
 
¿Por qué no te llené de mí
cuando aún había tiempo?
¿Por qué no pude comprender
lo que hasta ahora entiendo?
Que fuiste todo para mí
y que yo estaba ciego
te dejé para luego
este maldito tiempo
 
Me dediqué a perderte
y me ausenté en momentos
que se han ido para siempre
 
Me dediqué a no verte
y me encerré en mi mundo
y no pudiste detenerme
 
Y me alejé mil veces
y cuando regresé
te había perdido para siempre
y quise detenerte
 
Entonces descubrí
que ya mirabas diferente
me dediqué a perderte
me dediqué a perderte
 
Translation

I Devoted Myself To Lose You

Why didn’t I kiss your soul when I still could?
Why didn’t I hold on to your life when I still had it?
And I never realized how much it hurt you
And I didn’t know the damage I was doing to myself
 
How come I never noticed that you weren’t smiling anymore?
And before turning the lights off you weren’t saying anything to me anymore?
That Love got away from you, that day had come when you weren’t feeling for me and it didn’t even hurt you anymore
 
I devoted myself to lose you
And I was absent at moments
That have gone forever
 
I devoted myself to not seeing you
And I locked myself in my world
And you couldn’t stop me
 
And I stayed away a thousand times
And when I returned
I had lost you forever
And I wanted to stop you
 
Then I realized
That you were looking different
I devoted myself to lose you
I devoted myself to lose you
 
Why didn’t I fill you with me when there was still time?
Why couldn’t I comprehend what I am understanding now?
That you were everything for me
And that I was blind
I left you for later
This damn ego
 
I devoted myself to lose you
And I was absent at moments
That have gone forever
 
I devoted myself to not seeing you
And I locked myself in my world
And you couldn’t stop me
 
And I stayed away a thousand times
And when I returned
I had lost you forever
And I wanted to stop you
 
Then I realized
That you were looking different
I devoted myself to lose you
I devoted myself to lose you

It's funny how it takes such a skilled translation to read the words the way you hear them in your head when you are just bilingual.
Thank you, now I can share the sentiment of this song with people who don't speak Spanish.
