Verse 1
You filled the void that nobody filled
You wrote on the pages that nobody wrote
You changed my way of seeing love
And I think that was my mistake
I understand that all this is finished
But my heart doesn't understand that
My mind told me what love was
And it changed me
Chorus 1
And even though you're not here
It still asks about you
And it hurts me to admit that you're not here anymore
You left me
I would like to erase all the memories
But they live in my mind without paying rent
I don't have another option
I don't have another choice
Without paying rent
Verse 2
I understand that all this is finished
But my heart doesn't understand that
My mind told me what love was
And it changed me
Chorus 2
And even though you're not here
It still asks about you
And it hurts me to admit that you're not here anymore
You left me
I would like to erase all the memories
But they live in my mind without paying rent
I don't have another option
I would like to erase all the memories
But they live in my mind without paying rent
I don't have another option

SONG MEANING

“Sin Pagar Renta” is a heartfelt confession of what happens after love walks out the door. Xavi sings from the perspective of someone who finally found a partner who filled every empty space in his life, rewrote his story, and reshaped his idea of love. When the relationship ends, his head accepts the breakup, yet his heart stubbornly refuses to move on.

The hook of the song lies in the phrase “viven en mi mente sin pagar renta” (“they live in my mind without paying rent”). Memories of the past relationship linger rent-free in his thoughts, popping up uninvited and painful. With a catchy Regional Mexican sound, Xavi mixes sorrow with relatability, reminding listeners that no matter how hard we try to erase the past, some memories settle in, unpack, and stay—costing us nothing but emotional peace.
