Verse1

If you don't love me anymore, okay

But tell me face to face

So I can cancel the plans

We had in Monterrey

I might be loving you a lot

But I love myself more

I beg love from nobody

Chorus 1

Why lie to you

It hurts and what an ugly feeling

I don't know the steps to forget

Part-time love ain't my thing

I act like it hasn't hurt

But why lie to you

It hurts and what an ugly feeling

I don't know the steps to forget

Part-time love ain't my thing

I act like it hasn't hurt

Verse 2

This is black or white, not gray

I'm not up for a fling

Don't waste my time, please

I'm not lying, you made me happy

But I'll pull you out by the root

If what you have ain't real, if it's only temporary

Fast like instant coffee

I'd rather keep your lips at a distance

I'm after peace of mind, like Eladio

I want the whole thing, I don't like half

You don't give it, that's why I walked away

If you want, we can leave it at friends

But honestly, I'd rather not see you again

And even though I'll spend this Christmas alone

Relax, it won't be the first time

I've got the talent to look like nothing's wrong

Chorus 2

But why lie to you

It hurts and what an ugly feeling

I don't know the steps to forget

Part-time love ain't my thing

I act like it hasn't hurt

But why lie to you

It hurts and what an ugly feeling

I don't know the steps to forget

Part-time love ain't my thing

I act like it hasn't hurt

Postchorus 1

This is Grupo Frontera

If you don't love me anymore, okay

But tell me face to face

So I can cancel the plans

We had in Monterrey

SONG MEANING

“Monterrey” by Grupo Frontera is a straight-talk heartbreak anthem that mixes Tex-Mex swagger with raw honesty. The singer looks a former lover in the eye and says, in simple Spanglish, “If you don’t love me, say it face to face so I can cancel our trip to Monterrey.” Behind the catchy norteño-pop beat, he lays out a clear rule: he will not beg for a love delivered “a medio tiempo.” He would rather rip the feeling out “de raíz” than accept lukewarm affection that messes with his peace of mind.

The lyrics celebrate self-respect and emotional clarity. While he admits the breakup “me está doliendo,” he refuses to settle for half-hearted romance, comparing fleeting passion to “un café instantáneo.” Monterrey, the planned getaway, becomes a symbol of dreams he is ready to scrap if they are not built on something real. In the end, the message is empowering: choose complete, genuine love or walk away with your head high, even if it means spending Christmas alone. Grupo Frontera turns personal pain into a relatable, feel-good reminder that loving yourself comes first.
