Why didn't you know how to understand my heart?
What was inside it
Why didn't you have the courage to see who I am?
Why don't you listen to what's so close to you?
Only the noise from outside and me
That I'm by your side, I disappear for you
I'm not gonna cry and say that I don't deserve this
Because it's likely that I deserve it
But I don't want it, and that's why I'm leaving
What a shame, but goodbye
I say goodbye to you, I'm leaving
What a shame, but goodbye
I say goodbye to you
That's how Gabito sounds, babe
Because I know that something better waits for me
Someone that knows how to give me love
The kind that sweetens the salt and makes the sun come out
I, who thought I'd never leave you
That it's the good kind of love, lifelong, but today
I understood that there's not enough for both of us
I'm not gonna cry and say that I don't deserve this
Because it's likely that I deserve it
But I don't want it, and that's why I'm leaving
What a shame, but goodbye
I say goodbye to you, I'm leaving
What a shame, but goodbye
I say goodbye to you
I'm leaving

SONG MEANING

“Me Voy” is Gabito Ballesteros’ bittersweet farewell to a love that never truly saw him. Over a smooth regional Mexican groove, he sings from the heart: his partner ignored what was “so close,” leaving him feeling invisible. Rather than wallow in self-pity, Gabito owns his part in the story — “quizá lo merezco” — but decides he will not settle for less than real affection. The repeated qué lástima, pero adiós is both apology and liberation, a catchy hook that turns heartbreak into empowerment.

In the end, hope shines through the sorrow. Gabito looks ahead to “algo mejor,” dreaming of a love sweet enough to “endulzar la sal” and make the sun rise. The song captures that universal, uplifting moment when you realize walking away is an act of self-love. Listeners are left humming a chorus that feels like a hug and a high-five all at once.
