I Loved Loving You

Click to see the original lyrics (Spanish)
It seems you enjoy
Believing you ruined my life
With such an innocent face
 
When I least expected it
You thrust a dagger in my back
While you were embracing me
 
What happened to you?
I used to tell you all my secrets
 
I let you in
To my house and you burned it down
With such pretty words
So full of venom
 
It's ok if you swallow the story
That the world revolves around you
I knew how to love you
Time will show you
 
It's ok if you lie to yourself
Maybe that helps ease your remorse
I loved loving you1
And I don't regret it
 
We were inseparable
How strange that they change
The girls who played in the park
 
I imagined you in my plans
But in your future
I was always a cadaver
 
I saw you fall
I gave you my hand
And you threw me to the ground
 
I let you in
To my house and you burned it down
With such pretty words
So full of venom
 
It's ok if you swallow the story
That the world revolves around you
I knew how to love you
Time will show you
 
It's ok if you lie to yourself
Maybe that helps ease your remorse
I loved loving you
And I don't regret it
 
I loved loving you
And I don't regret it
 
I'm still going to choose
The best photos
When telling the story of us
 
I'm left with your laughter
And after all the pain
The version of you I do know
 
I loved loving you
Time will show you
 
It's ok
I expect nothing of you
Nothing is the same
And it doesn't have to be
 
I loved loving you
And I don't regret it
And I don't regret it
 
  • 1. The verb "querer" can mean both "to love" and "to want" depending on context. I've translated "Quise quererte" as "I loved loving you" - which I think best captures the meaning here. However, it can also mean "I wanted to love you" as well as "I loved wanting you" and "I wanted to want you." Those additional connotations, I think, add some depth to the lyrics that's difficult to convey in English, about the meaning of the relationship to her as she's looking back on it.
