The song's chorus, "Qué fácil me olvidaste mi amor, qué fácil olvidaste," underscores the protagonist's disbelief and hurt. He recalls the promises of eternal love that were made, only to be broken. The metaphor of having his heart ripped out highlights the depth of his emotional wound.

This song is a poignant reminder of the fragility of trust and the deep scars that betrayal can leave behind.
