Who am I to ask you?
If you are going somewhere
You never saw what I wanted to give you
It simply didn't work
I got lost in our art
You are no longer the same as before
It's f*cked up, but I can't change you
It's better for both of us
I don't know, maybe it was me
The one that ruined all this
It wasn't my intention
And what we were, you and I, stays in my mind
A philosophy that doesn't exist, only in my world
Without you, love
I swear that in my life I felt the warmth
Barely the sun when the soul rises and even so it goes away
And at night, when it was cold, you were with me
You were
I don't know, maybe it was me
The one that ruined all this
It wasn't my intention
And what we were, you and I, stays in my mind
A philosophy that doesn't exist, only in my world
Without you, love
I swear that in my life I felt the warmth
Barely the sun when the soul rises and even so it goes away
And at night, when it was cold, you were with me
You were

SONG MEANING

Xavi turns heartbreak into a classroom of feelings. In Filosofía, the young Mexican singer looks back on a love that slipped through his fingers. He admits they “just didn’t work,” wonders if he was the one who “messed it all up,” and realizes he can’t force anyone to change. The romance becomes a “philosophy that only exists in my world,” a private theory about love that makes perfect sense to him yet fails in real life.

Despite the breakup, he still treasures the warmth of their past—“te juro que en mi vida sentí el calor” (I swear I never felt such warmth). He recalls cold nights when she was there, contrasting them with the emptiness he feels now. The result is a reflective, relatable song about self-blame, nostalgia, and acceptance, wrapped in smooth Latin pop sounds that make learning new Spanish phrases feel natural and emotional.
