This line describes the moment the singer's partner decided to leave the relationship.

**Translation:** "She traded stability, they gave her an excuse."

- **Cambió**: This is the past tense of the verb `cambiar`, meaning "to change" or "to exchange." Here, it means "She changed" or "She traded."
- **la estabilidad**: "the stability."
- **le dieron**: `le` is an indirect object pronoun meaning "to her," and `dieron` is the past tense of `dar` (to give), meaning "they gave." So, `le dieron` means "they gave her."
- **un pretexto**: "an excuse" or "a pretext."

**Explanation:**

The singer feels that he offered a secure and stable relationship (`la estabilidad`), but his partner traded it away. The phrase `le dieron un pretexto` ("they gave her an excuse") is very telling. It suggests that someone else—perhaps a new romantic interest or influential friends (the anonymous "they")—provided her with a convenient reason to leave. It implies that she may have been looking for a way out, and this new situation gave her the justification she needed to end things with the singer.
