Sorry for seeing stars where there weren't
And for getting my hopes up with your paper kisses
Sorry for confusing love with company
And buying the idea that one day
You were going to love me, to love me
They say that the best thing for a good goodbye
Is to apologize and forgive what hurt
Today I no longer know who did it worse
If you and your ego or I and my stubborn heart
Forgive me, forgive me
For giving you more than what you wanted to have
Forgive me, forgive me
The blame is all mine, you had something to do with it
Forgive me
My mistake was to hug you, my mistake was to give myself
My mistake was to fall in love
With a coward
Sorry for missing you every night and day
For not seeing the signs that were clear on your skin
Sorry for clinging to this fantasy
And making myself think that one day you were going to be faithful to me
They say that the best thing for a good goodbye
Is to apologize and forgive what hurt
Today I no longer know who did it worse
If you and your ego or I and my stubborn heart
Forgive me, forgive me
For giving you more than what you wanted to have
Forgive me, forgive me
The blame is all mine, you had something to do with it
It's not cynicism, I truly am sorry
Forgive me for betting that I could be the love of your life
Forgive me, forgive me
For giving you more than what you wanted to have
Forgive me, forgive me
The blame is all mine, you had something to do with it
Forgive me
My mistake was to hug you, my mistake was to give myself
My mistake was to fall in love
With a coward

SONG MEANING

Yuridia’s Cobarde is a heartfelt confessional where the Mexican powerhouse sings a list of “sorrys” that are anything but submissive. With every line she exposes how she mistook fleeting affection for real love, poured her whole heart into the wrong person, and finally stamps him with the label cobarde — a coward who ran from genuine commitment. The repeated apologies become almost ironic, turning what sounds like self-blame into a slow-burn realization that the real fault lies in his fear and her own stubborn hope.

What makes the song so gripping is its emotional pivot: by the end, those apologies transform into self-forgiveness. Yuridia teaches listeners that recognizing our own role in a heartbreak is the first step toward reclaiming our power. Cobarde is more than a lament; it is a cathartic anthem that guides you from wounded vulnerability to clear-eyed strength, reminding us that loving bravely is never a mistake, but settling for someone who cannot do the same definitely is.
