Verse 1

Why didn't I kiss your soul when I still could?

Why didn't I embrace life when I had it?

And I, who didn't realize how much it hurt you

And I didn't know the hurt that it was doing to me

Or: And I didn't know how much I hurt myself

How is it that I never noticed that you weren't smiling anymore?

And that before turning off the light, you weren't saying anything to me?

That that love escaped from you, that the day had arrived

Or: That the love got away from you, that the day had come

That you didn't feel me anymore, that it didn't even hurt you anymore

Chorus 1

I dedicated myself to losing you

Or: I set out to lose you

And I was absent in moments that are gone forever

Or: And I was gone in moments that are now gone forever

I dedicated myself to not seeing you

And I locked myself in my world, and you couldn't stop me

And I walked away a thousand times

Or: And I distanced myself a thousand times

And when I came back, I had lost you forever

And I wanted to stop you

And then I discovered that already you were looking at me differently

I dedicated myself to losing you

Verse 2

Why didn't I fill you with me when there was still time?

Why couldn't I understand what I now understand?

That you were everything for me and that I was blind

I left you for later, this damn ego

Chorus 2

I dedicated myself to losing you

And I was absent in moments that are gone forever

I dedicated myself to not seeing you

And I locked myself in my world, and you couldn't stop me

And I walked away a thousand times

And when I came back, I had lost you forever

And I wanted to stop you

And then I discovered that already you were looking at me differently

I dedicated myself to losing you

SONG MEANING

“Me Dediqué A Perderte” is a heartfelt pop ballad where Mexican star Alejandro Fernández looks back on a love he let slip away. Throughout the song he bombards himself with what-ifs: Why did he not kiss her soul when he could? Why did he hide in his own world instead of embracing her? Each question paints a picture of missed opportunities and silent moments that slowly drained the relationship of its warmth.

The chorus – Me dediqué a perderte (“I devoted myself to losing you”) – is his blunt confession. With raw honesty he admits that pride, distance, and ego pushed her toward indifference, and by the time he woke up to her fading smile, she was already gone. The track becomes a bittersweet reminder that love demands presence, attentiveness, and courage, turning Fernández’s regret into a lesson for anyone who has ever taken a precious bond for granted.
