Translation: "But it's just so I can forget you; you are the only excuse"

- **Pero**: "But."
- **es**: "it is" / "it's."
- **pa'**: Shortened spoken form of "para," meaning "for" or "to" when expressing purpose.
- **poder**: "to be able (to)." It combines with the next word to form "to be able to forget you."
- **olvidarte**: "to forget you" ("olvidar" = to forget, "te" = you).
- **eres**: "you are" (second-person singular of "ser").
- **el**: "the."
- **único**: "only" or "sole."
- **pretexto**: "pretext," "excuse," a reason offered to justify an action.

In context, the speaker is explaining that whatever behavior he’s engaging in (implied earlier as being "under the effect") is solely aimed at erasing the memory of the person he loved. Calling that person "the only excuse" highlights that even his questionable actions revolve entirely around them, revealing lingering attachment and emotional dependence.
