The lyrics express the protagonist's struggle as they come to terms with the fact that their feelings for their partner have faded, and they are now in love with someone else.

The song's narrative is built around the protagonist's internal conflict and the courage it takes to be honest with their partner. The repeated phrase 'Lo siento, mi amor' emphasizes the difficulty of the situation, as the protagonist is genuinely sorry for the pain they are about to cause. The lyrics describe a lack of passion and excitement in the current relationship, contrasting the coldness they feel with their partner to the burning love they have for another. This other love is described as 'callado,' meaning 'quiet' or 'silent,' suggesting that it has been a secret, kept hidden until now.
