When love fades away
The heart remains in flames
When it's over, it's over
There's no refuge in words
It's a wound that doesn't heal
I waited for you, I even felt like I was dying
I waited for you, like the moon waits for the day
I tried, but life continued
I waited for you, but time closed the wound
When love finds you
You forget everything you've lived
Fear no longer holds you back
Suddenly nothing is lost
Even if it doesn't make sense
I waited for you, I even felt like I was dying
I waited for you, like the moon waits for the day
I tried, but life continued
I waited for you, but time closed the wound
No, no, no, no
Hmm
I waited for you, I even felt like I was dying
I waited for you, like the moon waits for the day
I tried, but life continued
I waited for you, but time closed the wound
I waited for you, but someone else came into my life

Refugio translates to "refuge" or "shelter". It's a word that evokes a sense of safety and protection, which makes it interesting in the context of a breakup song.

In "Te Esperé", the lyrics state, "No hay refugio en las palabras" (There is no refuge in words). This powerful line suggests that when love ends, words alone cannot provide comfort or solace from the pain, highlighting the depth of the emotional wound.

"Te Esperé" is Jesse & Joy's song about holding on to someone long after the relationship is over. Joy sings about waiting for a love that already ended, describing the pain as a wound that words can't cover and time barely closes.

The chorus compares her patience to the moon waiting for the day, a hopeful image that keeps returning even as she admits she tried to move on. By the end she accepts that life kept going without her, and that someone else has already stepped into the space she was still holding open.

It's a song about the gap between knowing a relationship is over and actually letting it go.
