Despite blocking his former partner on social media and erasing her number, he still remember the details of the relationship and the pain it caused.

I blocked you on Instagram

But through another account I see your stories

Your number I deleted

I don't know why if I know it from memory

You hurt me and like this I miss you

And although I know that one day I'll forget you

I still don't do it, it's complicated

Everything that we did I like to remember

Chorus 1

I'm driving through the streets that you kissed me

Listening to the songs that one day you dedicated to me

I'd tell you to come back, but that's not requested

I better ask God to protect me

Because I'm driving through the streets that you kissed me

Listening to the songs that one day you dedicated to me

I'd tell you to come back, but that's not requested

I better ask God to protect me

Verse 2

To protect me from another who looks like you

I don't want to fall how I did for you

Hopefully you fall in love

He does the same to you that you did to me

You taught me not to love anyone

And also how I don't want to be loved

We were three in a relationship of two

I don't forgive you, ask God for forgiveness

I said that I forgot you and the truth is that

Chorus 2

I'm driving through the streets that you kissed me

Listening to the songs that one day you dedicated to me

I'd tell you to come back, but that's not requested

I better ask God to protect me

Because I'm driving through the streets that you kissed me

Listening to the songs that one day you dedicated to me

I'd tell you to come back, but that's not requested

I better ask God to protect me
