One, two, one, two, three, go

How do I explain to you

That my breath cuts off when you're staring at me

You turned into the center of my attention and I don't know since when

I'd like to figure it out

Because these absurd urges to keep thinking of you are killing me

How do I tell you

That I'm inches, but almost no inches, from stealing a kiss from you

But suddenly you stop talking to me and that's why I don't do it

I don't know how to confess it

That I don't want to be your friend or your confidant

I want more than that

How do I make you understand that this has me crazy

That it's hard for me to hide it when you talk to me about another guy

I spend my time dreaming that I'm the owner of those eyes

But reality is that it's not reality

It's just a dream

How do I make you understand that this weakens me

And even though I keep it quiet, my heart always screams it

I'd like to confess it, but I'm scared to cross that door

Because being her friend is the only way to keep her close

Yeah

I don't know what's happening that has my head messed up

It's hard for this to happen, this isn't normal

Cupid unloads an arsenal on me

But with the wrong person because you couldn't care less about me

He doesn't show up while my liking for you grows

You're with that guy who honestly doesn't deserve you

You're giving him everything and he comes back at you with petty stuff

And I'm wishing that, by some mistake, you'd kiss me

There's something in your gaze that runs through my silence

I'd like to talk to you, tell you what I feel for you

This is going to kill me if I don't say it now

I'm just another buddy

I don't know anymore

How do I make you understand that this has me crazy

That it's hard for me to hide it when you talk to me about another guy

I spend my time dreaming that I'm the owner of those eyes

But reality is that it's not reality

It's just a dream

How do I make you understand that this weakens me

And even though I keep it quiet, my heart always screams it

I'd like to confess it, but I'm scared to cross that door

Because being her friend is the only way to keep her close

SONG MEANING

Feel the rush of a secret crush! In “De Qué Manera,” Colombian singer Mike Bahía turns everyday pop into a diary of heart-pounding suspense. The lyrics follow someone who is hopelessly in love with a close friend: his breath stops when she looks at him, his mind races with daydreams of stealing a kiss, yet fear keeps him silent. Between playful guitar licks and urban beats, he confesses how hard it is to pretend everything is fine while she talks about another guy.

At its core, the song is a tug-of-war between desire and fear. He wants to shout his feelings, but staying in the “friend zone” is the only way to remain near her. Cupid’s arrow has clearly misfired, leaving him stuck in an aching limbo where fantasy feels more real than reality. Mike Bahía captures that bittersweet mix of hope, jealousy, and vulnerability that anyone with an unspoken crush will instantly recognize.
