Gloria Trevi's "Cobardía" is all about the regret of missed opportunities in love. The singer is kicking herself for not acting on her feelings, especially with someone she clearly cared for a lot. She sings, "Qué cobardía / Quererte tanto y no te lo decía" [What cowardice / To love you so much and not tell you].
She remembers specific moments, like not kissing the person when they were so close: "No besarte la boca aquella noche / Con lo cerquita que yo te tenía" [Not kissing your mouth that night / With how close I had you]. There's even a funny, almost exasperated line about a night they were alone, "No sé por qué no me quité la ropa" [I don't know why I didn't take off my clothes]. It's a relatable feeling of looking back and wishing you'd been bolder, hoping for another chance to get it right.
