I should've closed my eyes when you passed by

And opened them the first time you kissed me

To see your intentions and take precautions

I should've told the heart that it doesn't need you

But you didn't help me by being so pretty

I was distracted, and if I had known

I wouldn't be suffering the way I'm suffering now

What you did to me was an abuse to my person

Me so innocent that I never drank

Now nothing takes away this pain

And those eyes that saw you now just cry

It makes me mad that this love for you won't leave me

And whoever feels like getting lost in alcohol

Let them get tangled in your arms like I did

And this is Matisse

And his buddy Carín León, ay, ay!

I saw you strolling with the dude who came to replace me

I'd like to have a chance to tell him

That he should look for another path, if they'd told me

I wouldn't be suffering the way I'm suffering now

What you did to me was an abuse to my person

Me so innocent that I never drank

Now nothing takes away this pain

And these eyes that saw you now just cry

It makes me mad that this love for you won't leave me

And whoever feels like getting lost in alcohol

Let him get tangled in your arms like I did, oh

SONG MEANING

Como Lo Hice Yo is a heartbreak confessional in true cantina style. French singer Matisse teams up with Mexico’s Carin León to tell the story of someone who wishes they had literally kept their eyes shut the moment their ex walked by. From the first stolen kiss to the last bitter tear, the narrator rewinds every scene, scolding himself for ignoring the red flags of a dazzling but damaging love. The chorus feels like a tipsy shout from a barstool: he never used to drink, yet now no shot of tequila can wash away the sting of being replaced.

The song swings between regret, anger, and lingering devotion. He watches his ex parade a new partner and wants to warn the poor guy, “Run while you can!” Even so, the ache refuses to leave, proving that some loves dig deeper than we expect. With brisk guitars and aching harmonies, Como Lo Hice Yo becomes both a cautionary tale and a bittersweet sing-along for anyone who has ever drowned their sorrows in music and mezcal.
