[Estribillo]

[Verso]
In the verse, the singer looks back at the time when they were inseparable, feeling as if they were one. He tries to cope with the situation by smoking, hoping it will help him forget the scent of the person he misses. He describes the cold night in Madrid, waiting for someone, anyone, to fix the mistakes in their relationship. He wishes for his ex to be happy without him, but also hopes they find someone better if they move on. The singer is searching for answers, questioning if insecurity or jealousy caused the distance between them. He feels the weight of the situation, longing for a conversation or any form of closure, but struggles with the silence and confusion that now exists between them.

[Interludio]
In the interlude, the singer calls the person to express that the issues in the relationship aren’t their fault. He admits that the real change came from him, not them.

This section reveals his self-awareness and acknowledgment that the breakup was due to his own changes.

[Estribillo]
The chorus repeats the emotional pain of the first one, emphasizing the feeling of loss and disorientation. Despite having everything material, the absence of the person he once loved makes him feel incomplete.

His exhaustion is evident as he mentions the dark circles under his eyes from sleepless nights spent reflecting. The feeling of entrapment is clear, as he says that without this person, he doesn’t feel free. The pain of separation is still fresh, and he keeps thinking about the relationship, wondering what went wrong and if it could have been different.
