Fuiste

Alex Ponce's song 'Fuiste' is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil following a breakup. The lyrics express the narrator's deep sorrow and regret over the end of a relationship. The opening lines set the tone for the song, revealing that the departure of the loved one has left the narrator's days growing increasingly sadder. Despite acknowledging that the breakup was the right decision, the narrator struggles with the pain of acceptance.

The song continues to explore the narrator's feelings of loss and the difficulty of moving on. The lyrics 'No pude cumplir, con ese para siempre' and 'Pero prefiero que tú no estés conmigo si ya no eres feliz' reflect the narrator's realization that the promise of 'forever' could not be kept and the selfless wish for the happiness of the other person, even if it means being apart.
