Se O Problema Era Você, Por Que Doeu Em Mim? Lyrics in English Jão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se O Problema Era Você, Por Que Doeu Em Mim? by Jão from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Leaving you was the hardest thing
And the most beautiful thing I've ever done for myself
Verse 1
And where you are now, love, I've already been
I know it's bad
Verse 1
You asked me for time for so long
It's not for revenge
Verse 1
But missing me doesn't mean you love me
I went all the way
Put all the blame on me
I don't care anymore, my love
If you loved me so much, why did you leave, after all?
If you were the problem, why did it hurt me?
If you loved me so much, why did you leave, after all?
If you were the problem, why did it hurt me?
Verse 2
At my door now, you beg me for a chance
You fool yourself and cry because you didn't think I was strong
I learned to hurt you at your own game
You don't want me to stay, love
You just want me to come back
Come back, come back
But I went all the way
Put all the blame on me
I don't care anymore now, my love, tell me
If you loved me so much, why did you leave, after all?
If you were the problem why did it hurt me?
If you loved me so much, why did you leave, after all?
If you were the problem why did it hurt me?
Disappear
Disappear
Tell me

SONG MEANING

Imagine walking away from a relationship that hurt you, only to feel the sting anyway. Jão’s “Se O Problema Era Você, Por Que Doeu Em Mim?” captures that bittersweet contradiction. He sings about making the brave choice to leave a toxic love, celebrating the move as “the most beautiful thing” he has ever done for himself. Yet the breakup aches, leaving him to question why he is in pain if the other person was the problem all along. The lyrics juggle empowerment and vulnerability, showing how self-love sometimes comes packaged with unexpected sorrow.

When the ex circles back begging for another chance, Jão stands firm. He has learned to protect his heart, refusing to return just to soothe someone else’s regret. The song delivers a mix of cathartic release and catchy pop drama, reminding listeners that healing can hurt, personal growth can be messy, and walking away can be both the hardest and the most liberating step toward real love—love for yourself.
