I saw you the other day with the new girl

You looked so happy, a free little bird

I didn't even wanna bother you

I watched from a distance

But it feels like I know her

From somewhere, I swear

That face isn't strange to me

It was a hard blow

I remember that dinner clearly

But let it go, let it be

Except no, she was around at the same time as me

And she knew and I didn't

What got into you

To throw everything away

What happened to us

Go live some other life

I don't even wanna know anymore

But when you wanna come back

There'll be someone else in your place

Go, I'm fine alone here

Taking care of whoever cares for me

But when you wanna come back

There'll be someone else in your place

I, who never even thought the luck I had was odd

To have the story I'd dreamed of and that was only mine

I missed every sign

We were one of those couples

Where everything was perfect and without fights

We were made for each other, what a disappointment

I don't really know when it changed, you didn't warn me it was over

Go live some other life

I don't even wanna know anymore

But when you wanna come back

There'll be someone else in your place

Go, I'm fine alone here

Taking care of whoever cares for me

But when you wanna come back

There'll be someone else in your place

SONG MEANING

“No Teu Lugar” throws us straight into a cinematic moment: the narrator spots her ex showing off his brand-new girlfriend, looking as carefree as a “little bird.” In a flash, her memories unravel. She realises this new girl is no stranger at all – she was around at the same time as their relationship. Shock quickly morphs into clarity; every perfect dinner, every sign she missed, suddenly makes sense. Mimicat paints the betrayal with vivid, almost theatrical flair, letting us feel the sting of discovering you were the last to know.

Yet the song is far from a sad-sack ballad. Beneath the jazzy groove and Mimicat’s powerful vocals lies a message of fierce self-respect. The chorus flips the script: instead of begging for answers, she declares that if he ever crawls back, “there will be someone else in your place.” She chooses solitude over settling, pledging to “take care of the one who takes care of me” – herself, or maybe a future partner who truly earns it. In just a few minutes, Mimicat takes us on a journey from heartbreak to head-held-high empowerment, making “No Teu Lugar” a catchy reminder that self-worth always has the final word.
