Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tuve Que Mentir by Adriel Favela from Spanish to English.
Te dije que yo iba a estar bien, pero te mentí
I told you that I was going to be fine, but I lied to you
La verdad, ni yo mismo pensé que dolerías así
Honestly, I didn't even think that it would hurt this much
Te dije 'Todo va a estar bien', pero no es así
I told you "Everything is going to be fine," but it's not like that
Necesito solo un beso tuyo para poder vivir
I just need a kiss from you to be able to live
Tampoco te voy a rogar, mucho menos te deseo mal
I'm not going to beg you, much less wish you harm
Pero me delato y te vuelvo a llamar
But I give myself away and I call you again
Tuve que mentir nomás
I had to lie, that's all
Para mostrarte que mi orgullo no ibas a doblar
To show you that you wouldn't break my pride
Tuve que fingir nomás
I had to pretend, that's all
Para evitarme yo la pena de que me veas llorar
To spare myself the shame of you seeing me cry
Porque si estas insegura, si es amor
Because if you're unsure, if it's love
El que va a sufrir soy yo
I'm the one who's going to suffer
Tuve que mentir nomás
I had to lie, that's all
Para mostrarte que mi orgullo no ibas a doblar
To show you that you wouldn't break my pride
Tuve que fingir nomás
I had to pretend, that's all
Para evitarme yo la pena de que me veas llorar
To spare myself the shame of you seeing me cry
Porque si estas insegura, si es amor
Because if you're unsure, if it's love
El que va a sufrir soy yo
I'm the one who's going to suffer
