Me cuesta tanto olvidarte

In 'Me cuesta tanto olvidarte,' Alex Ubago delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to forget a past lover. The song opens with a vivid metaphor, comparing the space between heaven and earth to something that is losing its hair from too much remembering. This imagery sets the tone for the song, highlighting the mental and emotional exhaustion that comes with constantly reminiscing about a lost love. Ubago describes himself as a 'bifrontism painting,' showing only one face to the world while hiding the true pain and genius idea of letting go beneath the surface.

The chorus reveals the core struggle: forgetting is incredibly difficult. Ubago admits that forgetting 'fifteen thousand charms' requires a lot of sensibility, something he questions whether he possesses. This line underscores the depth of his attachment and the multitude of memories that make moving on so challenging. Despite being the one who decided to end the relationship, he finds it hard to act without thinking of his former lover, indicating that the decision was more rational than emotional.

The repetition of 'me cuesta tanto olvidarte' (it's so hard to forget you) throughout the song emphasizes the ongoing struggle and the emotional weight of his decision. Even though he swore there would be no second chances, the pain of forgetting remains a constant battle. The song captures the universal experience of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on, resonating with anyone who has ever had to let go of someone they loved deeply.
