The lyrics describe a man struggling to move on from a past love. Venesti sings, ‘How can I forget you if loving you became a habit?’ The song uses vivid images like sending a heart to the attic and summer rain to show how hard it is to let go.

¿Cómo olvidarte? Si amarte se volvió un hábitoHow can I forget you if loving you became a habit?
Pa’ superarte mando el corazón pa’l áticoTo get over you, I send my heart to the attic.
Sirvió la terapia y me tomé un año sabáticoThe therapy helped, and I took a sabbatical year,
Y en esos tiempos me encontré con otros labiosand during that time, I found myself kissing other lips.
Es más fácil que llueva en veranoIt’s easier for it to rain in the summer
A que nos vean agarrados de la manothan for them to see us holding hands.
Te extraño con locura, esto pa’ mí no es sanoI miss you like crazy, this isn’t healthy for me.
Mi corazón lo mandé al cirujanoI sent my heart to the surgeon.
Y aun así todavía no se arreglaAnd even so, it still isn’t fixed.
No ha llegado a la paz esta guerraThis war hasn’t reached peace yet.
Te extraño con locura, esto pa’ mí no es sanoI miss you like crazy, this isn’t healthy for me.
Mi corazón lo mandé al cirujanoI sent my heart to the surgeon.
Le estoy pidiendo al cieloI’m begging the heavens
Y a mi Dios que me cumpla el deseoand my God to grant my wish.
Quisiera volverte a verI’d love to see you again.
