The protagonist reflects on the love and life they gave to their partner, only to realize that their feelings were never reciprocated. The lines 'Recuerda que yo te di la vida mía' (Remember that I gave you my life) and 'Y ahora me doy cuenta, nunca me has querido' (And now I realize, you never loved me) are poignant reminders of the emotional investment and the subsequent disillusionment. The song suggests a sense of justice or karma with the lines 'Recuerda, que todo lo que sube baja' (Remember, what goes up must come down) and 'Que amor, con amor se paga' (That love is paid with love), indicating that the protagonist believes their former lover will eventually face consequences for their actions.
