Verse 1
Yesterday I deleted the photos
I already gifted your clothes
Acting as if all the memories
They left together with your things
It tires me to think of your name
Asking myself if they're lies
That at twenty-two it's supposed
That you've already found the love of your life
And that idea doesn't leave me alone
Chorus 1
And if it was you?
Tell me, how am I going to live if you're not anymore here?
If it was you
I'm afraid of not feeling again anymore
Because
If in a few years I continue trying
And I can't forget you
There will be nothing, nobody, just
I'll have a story and a heart in half
Verse 2
Everyone asks and I don't know how to avoid it anymore
Sometimes I lie to them
I don't even know why it had to end
From so many people, only you have known
To love me even with my anxiety
Only you've known how to love me even with my anxiety
If to love is to let go, I would have loved you less
If love like this hurts, I would have loved you less
I hate that it was impossible to have loved you less
And to freeze time
Chorus 2
And if it was you?
Tell me, how am I going to live if you're not anymore here?
If it was you
I'm afraid of not feeling again anymore
Because
If in a few years I continue trying
And I can't forget you
There will be nothing, nobody, just
I'll have a story and a heart in half
Verse 3
If time is over
I ask that there's another life to have each other
And if you hear this
I want you to know that I still love you
Chorus 3
And if it was you?
Tell me, how am I going to live if you're not anymore here?
If it was you
I'm afraid of not feeling again anymore
Because
If in a few years I continue trying
And I can't forget you
There will be nothing, nobody, just
I'll have a story and a heart in half

SONG MEANING

Ela Taubert, Colombia’s soulful pop newcomer, walks us through the messy aftermath of a breakup in ¿Y Si Eras Tú?. The song opens with her deleting photos and giving away clothes, hoping the memories will disappear along with the clutter. Yet every discarded item only sharpens the ache of doubt: “At 22, aren’t we supposed to have found the love of our life?” That simple question spirals into sleepless anxiety, revealing how hard it is to silence a name that once meant everything.

The chorus becomes a heartfelt what-if: “What if it was you? What if I never feel this again?” Ela fears a future where she keeps trying to move on but ends up with nothing more than half a heart and a bittersweet story. She admits that loving so intensely feels like both a blessing and a curse — if love hurts this much, maybe she should have loved him less. Between vulnerable confessions and soaring pop melodies, Ela captures the universal terror of losing your maybe-soulmate and the stubborn hope that, if not in this life, love might find its way back in the next.
