Me fumé sus palabras y ella se robó las mías
Me perdí en el silencio recordando nuestro día
Y a la mañana siguiente descubrí que la quería
Y créalo o no, yo quise ser fiel
Ya tenía una vida, con otra mujer
Y créalo o no, ahí recordé
Por hacerme el bueno
No fui a la cita y la champaña
Ya estaba fría, te dejé vestida
Sabiendo que ya eras mía
Por hacerme el bueno
Quedé contigo, como un cobarde
Sin los cojones, para besarte
Perdí mi chance para enamorarte
Por hacerme el bueno whoa oh oh
Por hacerme el bueno
Por eso es que te perdí
Por hacerme el bueno whoa oh oh
Por hacerme el bueno
Tú sigues lejos de mí
Ya caminé por los cerros
La busqué por mil caminos
Ya me ladraron los perros
Ya desperté a los vecinos
Soñaba con encontrarla
Y por fin hacerla mía
Para escribir el final
Que esta historia merecía
Y créalo o no al fin la encontré
La miré de nuevo y la volví a querer
Y créalo o no, al verme me dijo
Agua que no has de beber déjala correr
Por hacerme el bueno
No fui a la cita y la champaña
Ya estaba fría, te dejé vestida
Sabiendo que ya eras mía
Por hacerme el bueno
Quede contigo, como un cobarde
Sin los cojones, para besarte
Perdí mi chance para enamorarte
Por hacerme el bueno whoa oh oh
Por hacerme el bueno
Por eso es que te perdí
Por hacerme el bueno whoa oh oh
Por hacerme el bueno
Tú sigues lejos de mí
Por hacerme el bueno
No fui a la cita y la champaña
Ya estaba fría, te dejé vestida
Sabiendo que ya eras mía
Por hacerme el bueno
Quede contigo, como un cobarde
Sin los cojones, para besarte
Perdí mi chance para enamorarte
Por hacerme el bueno whoa oh oh
Por hacerme el bueno
Por eso es que te perdí
Por hacerme el bueno whoa oh oh
Por hacerme el bueno
Tú sigues lejos de mí
Bacilos's song Por Hacerme el Bueno is a heartbreaking story of a man who realizes that he has lost the love of his life because he tried to be the good guy. The opening lines of the song, "Yo me quedé con su cara, me quedé con su alegría, Me fumé sus palabras y ella se robó las mías," show that he can't get her out of his head, and he's stuck thinking about her.
He admits that he had already committed to another woman but couldn't help his feelings for this other woman. The lyrics "Y créalo o no, yo quise ser fiel, Ya tenía una vida, con otra mujer," show that he tried to be loyal to his present lover but ultimately failed because the temptation of this other woman was too strong.
He regrets his action and lost his chance to be with the love of his life. Bacilos's song Por Hacerme el Bueno tells the classic tale of love lost because of miscommunication and bad timing. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of expressing one's feelings openly and honestly before it's too late.
