Verse 1
Sometimes I imagine that we had
The ending that we both wanted
If I still were your girl, what wouldn't we do?
How would it be if you and I were together?
I know that it's over, but tell me
You look good and you're not with me
Could it be that you never loved me?
And it was fake what we had?
Chorus 1
Supposedly, I was your drug, everything for you
Supposedly, you couldn't live a day without me
If that was so
Tell me why you're not here
Supposedly, I was your life, I made you happy
Supposedly, you were staying with me until the end
If that was so
Tell me why you're not here
Verse 2
I never knew how the series ended
I don't go to the place where we were going on Fridays
I want to know if you feel this pain
And if you have a heart in your chest
Honestly I can't and truthfully, I don't even want to
To stop loving you, even knowing that I must
To stop thinking of you, to stop loving you
So much
Chorus 2
Supposedly, I was your drug, everything for you
Supposedly, you couldn't live a day without me
If that was so
Tell me why you're not here
Supposedly, I was your life, I made you happy
Supposedly, you were staying with me until the end
If that was so
Tell me why you're not here

SONG MEANING

Cries in Spanish is Becky G and DannyLux turning heartbreak into a sierreño confession, complete with wistful guitars and raw, conversational Spanish. Becky imagines an alternate ending where the relationship never fell apart, asking playful yet painful questions like “¿Si aún fuera tu morra, qué no haríamos?” She day-dreams about still being her ex’s “drug” and “whole life,” only to snap back to reality and realize he is gone. The back-and-forth between dreamy what-ifs and blunt realizations gives the song a tug-of-war feeling that any heartbroken listener can relate to.

At its core, the track is about doubting the truth of past love. Repeating lines such as “Según yo era tu droga… dime por qué no estás aquí” highlight the narrator’s disbelief that someone who once seemed addicted to her could simply walk away. Colloquial phrases like “al chile” (honestly) make the pain sound candid and unfiltered, while the bilingual title nods to Becky G’s bicultural identity. The result is a cathartic, sing-along lament that invites learners to explore contemporary Mexican slang, question the reliability of memory, and feel the universal sting of a love that might never have been real.
