Y Si Ya No Estás
Merche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De empezar un día más
Me da miedo si no estás
No sé quien me va a escuchar
Cuando sienta que ya no puedo más
Y no tenga a quien hablar
Me acostumbraré ya es hora de saber
Que si ya no estás
Me tengo que olvidar de ti
Quitar las fotos del salón
Borrar que tu estuviste aquí
Si no estoy de humor
Y me falta tu consuelo
Que hago para no caer
Y pasar de tus recuerdos
Y pasar de tus recuerdos
Son las seis y pienso en ti
Otra noche sin dormir
Me acurruco en el sillón
A esperar a que salga el sol
Doy mil vueltas a nuestra historia
Siempre corre igual al final
Me acostumbraré ya es hora de saber
(Estribillo)
La, la, la, la, la
No será tan fácil continuar sólo es diferente
Nunca más are lo que diga
Viviré el presente
(Estribillo)
The lyrics in Merche's song Y Si Ya No Estás talk about the struggle of moving on from a past relationship. The singer expresses her fear of facing a new day without her significant other and how she feels lost without them. She is unsure who to turn to for comfort when she feels like giving up, but understands that it is time to accept the reality that they are no longer together. In the chorus, she acknowledges that if they are no longer together, she must remove all traces of them from her life to move on. She questions what she will do when she misses their advice and support to keep herself from falling into old memories.
The verse also touches upon the loneliness that comes with not having someone to confide in. The singer describes how she often spends sleepless nights thinking about her past with her lover. She has trouble coming to terms with what happened between them and wishes for another chance to work things out. However, she understands the need to move forward and not let their memories control her life. In the final verse, the singer realizes that it will not be easy to move on without their significant other. She vows to embrace the present and take control of her life.
