Verse 1

I don't know how it happened

That in two months, from nothing, we loved each other so much

That we said and swore never to hurt each other

I think that meeting you is the best thing that has happened to me

So good

But, if it was so good, why didn't it last?

And if it was so perfect, why did it end?

And it just happened that one day you left

You never came back, where did I end up?

Chorus 1

Why is it easier to always finish than to start?

Why is it so easy not to give yourself a chance?

To try, to dream, to achieve a life together?

Why is it easier to always finish than to start?

If it's so hard to accept that nothing will remain

For you, for me, we were almost, almost everything

But not

Verse 2

And where are you if you had promised to be?

Where did you lose the desire to try?

And I can't understand if this is love for you

Leaving me halfway

Chorus 2

Why is it easier to always finish than to start?

Why is it so easy not to give yourself a chance?

To try, to dream, to achieve a life together?

Why is it easier to always finish than to start?

If it's so hard to accept that nothing will remain

For you, for me, we were almost, almost everything

Verse 3

Me giving everything and you, nothing

Me trying everything and you, nothing

I was dying for this to work

I gave more than I had and you, nothing

Chorus 3

Why is it easier to always finish than to start?

Why is it so easy not to give yourself a chance?

To try, to dream, to achieve a life together?

Why is it easier to always finish than to start?

If it's so hard to accept that nothing will remain

For you, for me, we were almost, almost everything

But not

SONG MEANING

“¿Cómo Pasó?” is Ela Taubert’s confessional postcard from a whirlwind romance that blazed bright and then fizzled out just as quickly. In only two months, promises of “never hurting each other” turned into unanswered messages and broken vows. The Colombian pop newcomer walks us through that dizzying shift from so good to all gone, wondering how something that felt perfect could vanish overnight. The chorus’s looping question — “¿Por qué es más fácil siempre terminar que comenzar?” — captures the universal frustration of giving your all while the other person slips away.

Listening to Ela feels like reading a diary entry set to a catchy pop beat: raw, relatable, and filled with hope that clashes against reality. She examines the imbalance of love (“Yo dándolo todo y tú, nada”), the pain of unfinished dreams, and the bittersweet acceptance that they were “casi todo, pero no.” It’s a song for anyone who has ever replayed a breakup in their mind, trying to figure out where things went wrong, yet still dancing along to the rhythm of moving on.
