Lyrics meaning

The speaker imagines a loved one leaving and wonders how life would continue without their love. The questions express fear and dependence, but there is also an important qualification: the loss has not happened, and the speaker knows the partner is likely to stay. The emotion moves between anxious imagining and reassurance, then returns to uncertainty.

โ€œFind my way aloneโ€ is a figurative way to ask how to manage life without the other personโ€™s support or presence. The speaker also says that people may not realize how much they value something until it is lost; this gives the fear of separation a wider, familiar meaning. โ€œSlip away and close the doorโ€ suggests leaving quietly and decisively, while โ€œmake your mindโ€ means to decide.

โ€œQue sera mi vidaโ€ means roughly โ€œWhat will my life be?โ€ and works as a refrain that sums up the speakerโ€™s worry. The repeated โ€œifโ€ matters: the song describes a possible breakup, not a confirmed one. The ending can sound like a plea for the partner to consider the consequences before leaving, but it may also show how difficult it is for the speaker to imagine independence.
