When you arrived, I knew you'd leave someday

When you left, I knew you'd stay

Maybe there are things that end

So they don't truly end

You and I losing ourselves to find

Oh, this anxiety

I text you at one, "how are you?"

I know it's wrong

But at night it's harder

Not to think of you, your hands on me

Your couch, your bed, and also here

Do you miss me like this?

Oh, tell me yes

If you're with another, that's when I feel you feel you love me

If we're together, we don't want to and we want someone else

Maybe there are things that end

So they don't truly end

You and I losing ourselves to find

Oh, this anxiety

I text you at one, "how are you?"

I know it's wrong

But at night it's harder

Not to think of you, your hands on me

Your couch, your bed, also here

Do you miss me like this?

Oh, tell me yes

Maybe there are things that end

So they don't truly end

You and I losing ourselves to find

Oh, this anxiety

You text me "I love you, where are you?"

You know it's not okay

But at night it's harder

Not to think of me, my hands on you

Your couch, your bed, also here

Do you miss me like this?

Oh, tell me yes

Did you like this lyrics translation?

ansiedad — anxiety

Ansiedad translates directly to "anxiety." It's a strong, evocative word that perfectly encapsulates the emotional core of the song.

Paty Cantú uses this word to describe the intense, restless longing and emotional turmoil experienced in a complicated, on-again, off-again relationship. The word isn't just a feeling; it's the central theme, representing the constant push and pull of emotions and the uncertainty that defines the connection.

Paty Cantú built "Ansiedad" around a very specific hour: 1 a.m., phone in hand, unable to leave someone alone. "Te escribo a la una, '¿cómo estás?'" ["I text you at one, 'how are you?'"] opens the chorus, and she admits right away it's a bad habit — "Yo sé que está mal" ["I know it's wrong"] — but the night makes the pull stronger than the guilt: "Pero es que de noche cuesta más" ["But at night it's harder"].

The verses trace the contradiction that gives the song its title: "Cuando llegaste yo sabía que te irías algún día, cuando te fuiste yo sabía que te ibas a quedar" ["When you arrived, I knew you'd leave someday, when you left, I knew you'd stay"] — a person who's gone can still occupy every room, every "sillón" and "cama" ["couch" and "bed"]. By the bridge she's flipped the question back on him — "Si estás con otra es cuando siento que tú sientes que me amas" ["When you're with someone else is when I feel that you feel you love me"] — naming the messy, backwards logic of missing someone you know isn't good for you, and asking, plainly, "¿Me extrañas así?" ["Do you miss me the way I miss you?"].
