Verse 1
If I could travel back in time
Lit: If one could travel to the past
And tell myself everything that has happened
I'd tell my past self not to fall in love
To not tell anyone nice things and not send flowers
Because there are no doctors
For this love sickness
If I could erase the memory
Or: If it were possible to erase the memory
Or just a part of the story
I'd erase the day that I saw you so I wouldn't know you
I believed you when you swore that it was forever
And now you're absent
And how ugly it feels
Chorus 1
I'm begging you for love
Believing that I was the only one
I haven't kissed anyone
You giving kisses in public
To see you with him hurt me
And still I don't hate you
It's not that I lack your love
It's that I lack self-love
Chorus 2
I'm begging you for love
Believing that I was the only one
I haven't kissed anyone
You giving kisses in public
To see you with him hurt me
And still I don't hate you
It's not that I lack your love
It's that I lack self-love
Chorus 3
I'm begging you for love
Believing that I was the only one
I haven't kissed anyone
You giving kisses in public
To see you with him hurt me
And still I don't hate you
It's not that I lack your love
It's that I lack self-love
Chorus 4
I'm begging you for love
Believing that I was the only one
I haven't kissed anyone
You giving kisses in public
To see you with him hurt me
And still I don't hate you
It's not that I lack your love
It's that I lack self-love

SONG MEANING

Grupo Frontera transforms heartbreak into a heartfelt confession in Amor Propio. Over a lively Regional Mexican rhythm, the singer imagines jumping back in time to warn his younger self: Do not fall in love, do not send flowers, there is no doctor for this pain. He wishes he could erase the very moment he met his ex, because the memory now burns every time he sees her kissing someone else in public. The vivid storytelling turns regret into a relatable time-travel fantasy, making listeners feel both the sting of betrayal and the nostalgia of first love.

The repeated chorus flips the usual breakup script. Instead of saying I miss your love, the narrator realizes I lack self-love. While he was busy begging for affection, convinced he was the only one, she moved on without hesitation. This twist gives the song its title and its emotional punch, reminding us that true healing starts with amor propio — loving and respecting ourselves before anyone else.
