Shakira's song reflects her pain?

The lyrics of Shakira's latest hit 'Te Felicito' with Rauw Alejandro also talk about a betrayal from her partner and many believe the sensational popstar's song hints at the pain she's going through after learning about the footballer cheated on her.

Following are the lyrics of Shakira's new song 'Te Felicito':

"For completing you I broke into pieces; they warned me, but I did not pay attention. I realized that yours is false; it was the drop that overflowed the glass; do not tell me you're sorry, that seems sincere, but I know you well and I know you lie.

"I congratulate you, how well you act, of that I have no doubt; with your role continues, you look good that show".

"I don't buy that cheap philosophy, I'm sorry, I don't ride that motorcycle anymore; I can't stand two-faced people; I used to put my hands on fire for you and you treat me like one more of your whims; your wound didn't open my skin, but it opened my eyes.

"My eyes are red from crying so much for you; and now, it turns out that you are sorry; it sounds sincere, but I know you well and I know that you lie; I congratulate you, how well you act."
