Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte Lyrics in English Mecano

“Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte” is a bittersweet pop gem in which the Spanish band Mecano paints the struggle of trying to move on from a past love. The singer feels suspended “between the sky and the ground,” caught in a swirl of memories that won’t let go. On the outside, they present a perfect smile – “a toothpaste-ad face” – yet inside, their thoughts are bald from overthinking. Every recollection of the ex reveals how many “15,000 charms” there are to erase, turning the act of forgetting into a full-time job.

What makes the song so relatable is its honest contradiction: the narrator chose to end the relationship, but letting go still hurts. They repeat promises that there will be “no second part,” only to admit that everyday tasks feel robotic without their former partner. The catchy melody hides a confession we all understand – breaking up may be rational, but the heart takes its own slow path to heal, and for Mecano that path is paved with nostalgic hooks you’ll be humming long after the song ends.
