"Si crees que dejarme es fácil" was born in one of those moments when you're left alone with your thoughts, when there’s nothing left to say but everything still aches inside. It's a song that doesn’t scream, but hurts in every word.

I wrote it on acoustic guitar, keeping it simple, almost like having a quiet conversation. Later, I felt it needed something more—a soft, constant whisper behind it. That’s when the organ came in, holding the harmony, like the echo of everything unresolved. Together, they created the Folk-Britpop vibe I was aiming for: raw, direct, but with a melancholic beauty.

The lyrics are a release. They talk about how we sometimes endure our own pain just to spare someone else’s, about the stories we tell ourselves to justify what hurts, and the inner battle of letting go of something that once defined us. It's not a song of blame, but of acceptance—understanding that loving also means knowing when to let go.

What I love most about this acoustic version is the intimacy. No tricks, no effects. Just the voice, the steady rhythm of the guitar, and that organ in the background wrapping everything, as if the song itself was breathing with you.

"Si crees que dejarme es fácil" is, at its core, a letter that doesn’t ask for answers. It just needs to be heard.
