I wouldn't want to bother you
Hi, how are you, how's life going?
I hope it's great
Mine's awful, I'm a stray bullet
I know that I shouldn't talk to you
But, babe, sometimes I forget
If I try to dodge you
It's because I damn well know that I'd come back to you
Chorus 1
Sometimes I bring flowers to what we never were
Because it's so beautiful that I haven't lived it
And even so I imagine what it'd be like with you
I think of the thousands of ways we lost each other
But in another world I know that I'm with you
And I wouldn't write this song if I had no reason
Because you're the best, the best thing I've lost
If I threw those stones again
Sitting beside you on the riverbank
Chorus 1
And you took away this fear of the sea
Diving hand in hand with me
Going out to dance with you without thinking
You already know that I only do it with you
Like that day we met
But this time it'd last forever
And if for some reason you haven't understood
You're the best thing I've lost
Verse 1
I wake up in the morning and this time without you
Dreaming that you call me, but it's not like that
The less I see you, I know that I think about you more
There are a thousand ways to die
And I only choose to die for you
How beautiful it'd be not to tell you this
Chorus 2
Sometimes I bring flowers to what we never were
Because it's so beautiful that I haven't lived it
And even so I imagine what it'd be like with you
I think of the thousands of ways we lost each other
But in another world I know that I'm with you
And I wouldn't write this song if I had no reason
Because you're the best, the best thing I've lost
If I threw those stones again
Sitting beside you on the riverbank
Chorus 2
And you'd take away this fear of the sea
Diving hand in hand with me
Going out to dance with you without thinking
You already know that I only do it with you
Like that day we met
But this time it'd last forever
And if for some reason you haven't understood
You're the best thing I've lost

SONG MEANING

“Hola, ¿qué tal?” is Beret’s bittersweet postcard to a love that never quite became reality. Opening with the casual greeting of a text you should probably never send, the Spanish singer confesses that his life feels like a mess while he can’t stop picturing perfect moments with the person he lost. He brings flowers to what we never were, imagines dancing without a care, and dreams of diving into the sea hand in hand — all to say “you’re the best thing I’ve ever lost.”

The song drifts between regret and daydream, painting parallel universes where the couple does last forever. Each verse is a tug-of-war: he knows he shouldn’t reach out, yet hope keeps sneaking back in. With tender imagery, catchy melodies, and raw honesty, Beret turns unfulfilled love into a heartfelt anthem that reminds us how powerful “what-ifs” can be — and how hard it is to let go when someone still feels like home.
