Verse 1

You love me

When I'm about to leave

I love you

But I know that it's time to go

You made me waste all my time, my love

The sacrifices that we made didn't matter

I know that it'll help you if I walked away from you

You were hurt when I met you

Chorus 1

I didn't want to leave

It hurts me to see you like this, sorry baby

I know that it's going to hurt you seeing me everywhere

Instead of in your arms

Other hands are already loving me

I didn't want to go like this

I know that it hurts to see me go

I didn't want to go like this, let me go

And pure Manzana Records

Verse 2

Who do you think that you're fooling like this?

I have a thousand reasons, that's why I left

Far away from you

To stand out

Or: To excel

Chorus 2

I didn't want to leave

My heart is cold because of your existence

You're not the only one with pain in their chest

All my tears didn't fall from the sky

I didn't want to go like this

I know that it hurts to see me go

I didn't want to go like this, let me go

SONG MEANING

Ivan Cornejo’s “No Me Quise Ir” is a bittersweet confession wrapped in the soaring guitars and heartfelt vocals of Regional Mexican music. The narrator stands at the doorway of a failing love, torn between the pull of affection and the push of self-preservation. He still whispers te amo, but years of sacrifice, lies, and emotional damage have cooled that love into frost. Knowing his partner was already hurting when they met, he now believes leaving is the only way either of them can truly heal.

As he walks away, he acknowledges how painful it will be for both of them to see him embraced by other hands. Yet his repeated plea, “No me quise ir… déjame ir,” makes clear that this goodbye is not about pride. It is about breaking free so both hearts can start over. The song captures that universally relatable moment when staying hurts more than leaving, blending raw honesty with the signature melancholy of modern Regional Mexican sound.
