Verse 1
I learned from the mistakes of my life
I ran into dead ends
I haven't stopped a single second from searching for the truth
I've wasted time on your nonsense
I've listened to you, as you see, out of courtesy
I left my veins long from waiting
Because when it comes to losing, it's not all the same to me
Chorus 1
Late, it got late, nothing more
I've already touched you so many times
that you seriously burn me
Chorus 1
It could've been, but then it could've been
We broke love maybe from loving so much
You stayed a step away from me
And it's that it could've been
And again it could've been
Chorus 1
Let's toast one more for what never was
Nor has come to be
You just one step from me
I, seven thousand kilometers away from you
Verse 2
I've felt that even the ground was splitting
Deciphering without knowing that you were telling me
We've already died so many times
What does it matter, what does it matter?
Chorus 2
Phrases, only phrases, what does it matter?
I've already touched you so many times
that you seriously burn me
Chorus 2
It could've been, but then it could've been
We broke love maybe from loving so much
You stayed a step away from me
And it's that it could've been
And again it could've been
Chorus 2
Let's toast one more for what never was
It hasn't come to be
You just one step from me
I, seven thousand kilometers
Chorus 2
far from you

SONG MEANING

Lejos De Ti finds the Spanish-Cuban powerhouse Malú looking back on a love that blazed brightly, burned her fingers, and finally left her thousands of kilometres away—both in body and in spirit. She lists the lessons learned from wrong turns and dead-end streets, admitting that she waited far too long while deciphering empty phrases and “tonterías.” The repeated idea of pudo ser (it could have been) captures the bittersweet realization that passion alone is not enough; sometimes love collapses under its own intensity.

Far from sinking into sorrow, Malú raises a defiant toast “por lo que nunca fue,” celebrating hard-won self-knowledge and the courage to walk away. The song balances regret with empowerment: yes, they once stood only a step apart, but now she stands 7 000 kilometers stronger, wiser, and determined to keep searching for her own truth. Listeners are invited to sing along, mourn the almost, and ultimately feel the thrill of reclaiming their freedom.
