Verse 1
I was your glass when you were thirsty
Like in the morning, I was your coffee
I was a bee and you were my honey
We connected well, I swear, baby
Or: We hit it off, I swear baby
I was lifting you up with so much love
I was helping you forget the pain
I was the first with true love
Or: I was your first true love
The one who taught you best
Chorus 1
Wherever I go, I always see you
You were my great addiction, my drug, I was your fire
I want that asshole to treat you with respect
My love doesn't end because it's made of fire
Wherever I go, I always see you
You were my great addiction, my drug, I was your fire
I want that asshole to treat you with respect
My love doesn't end because it's made of fire
Because it's made of fire
Verse 2
I'd like to start another chapter with you
I know that it's impossible, but I'll never give up
Or: I know it's impossible, but I will never back down
To find you again
And be able to love you like before
How sad, you left me wanting
Lit: How sad, you left me with the desire
I thought that it was you and me until the end
How I'd like to show you off to my parents
Because I know how much they were going to love you
Chorus 2
Wherever I go, I always see you
You were my great addiction, my drug, I was your fire
I want that asshole to treat you with respect
My love doesn't end because it's made of fire
Because it's made of fire

SONG MEANING

Imagine waking up to someone who feels like your first sip of coffee, the sweet taste of honey, and the warmth of a campfire all at once. In “J.” Ivan Cornejo paints himself as every comforting need his lover ever had: he was her glass of water when she was thirsty, her morning caffeine, even the flame that kept her heart burning. The song swings between tender memories and raw longing, showing how deeply two people can connect when love is fresh, genuine, and undeniable.

Yet that blazing romance is now only a memory he cannot shake. Everywhere he goes he still “sees” her, comparing the relationship to an addiction he craves but can no longer satisfy. Cornejo pleads that the new guy treats her with the respect she deserves, all while insisting that his own love is forged in fire and can never burn out. The track turns heartbreak into poetry, blending traditional Regional Mexican sounds with youthful urgency to remind us that some loves feel eternal, even when they are out of reach.
