Why TINI and Beéle Called Their Collab ‘Universidad’: Full English Lyrics
One of the main ideas is that love isn’t something anyone teaches us
‘Universidad’ by TINI and Beéle is a heartbreak ballad that dives into the emotional pain of love and how unprepared we often feel when facing it. One of the main ideas is that love isn’t something anyone teaches us. As the chorus says, there’s no “university” or manual for learning how to love—or how to heal when it ends. Love is complicated, messy, and often painful, and we mostly learn about it through experience.
The song also speaks to the false expectations we grow up with—like the idea that love is always enough or that it lasts forever. TINI questions those beliefs, showing how different things can be in real life, especially when love doesn’t turn out the way we hoped.
There’s also a clear imbalance in how the two people in the song are feeling. One is deeply heartbroken, while the other seems to have moved on. Lines like “your heart was born knowing, and it doesn’t hurt like mine does” highlight that unequal emotional impact.

Both TINI and Beéle express a deep sense of longing and emotional dependency. They sing about how only the other person can truly “heal” them, even though that person is already gone. It captures the feeling of being emotionally stuck after a breakup.
Finally, the title ‘Universidad’ is a smart metaphor—comparing love to a subject we never get to study properly. Beéle even jokes that he tried to get a PhD to forget her, showing how confusing and overwhelming heartbreak can be when there’s no real way to prepare for it.
‘Universidad’ English Lyrics
[Verse 1: TINI]
Oh, look at how love is
Everyone feels it, but no one teaches you
Because at first, it always makes you see stars
But in the end, you crash into reality
While emptying a bottle
[Pre-Chorus]
They always tell us love is forever
They told us the lie that love is enough
But in real life, everything goes differently
When your heart gets broken and you don’t learn
[Chorus]
Baby, there’s no university that teaches you how to love the right way
There’s no book that tells you how much it hurts
I’m dying of love
But I can’t heal if you’re not here
There’s no university, but your heart was born knowing
And it doesn’t hurt the way it’s hurt me
I’m dying of love
Only you know how to heal me, and I’m still here
[Verse 2: Beéle]
Tell me, who takes away this heartbreak? (Ah)
Why is it that the craziest ones are always the prettiest? (Ah)
Cupid always plays me, always sets me up
I don’t know if it’s good for me or if it hurts me
That you’re not by my side—what a sin
You’re out in downtown, and I’m down here
Girl, what happened? I thought I was over you
Tried to get a PhD just to see if I had forgotten you
[Chorus: Both]
But there’s no university that teaches you how to love the right way (Aye)
No book that says how much it hurts
I’m dying of love
But I can’t heal if you’re not here
There’s no university, but your heart was born knowing
And it doesn’t hurt the way it’s hurt me
I’m dying of love
Only you know how to heal me, and I’m still here
(Uh-wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh)
[Outro]
I’m dying of love
Only you know how to heal me, and you’ve already gone
I’m dying of love
Only you know how to heal me, and you’ve already gone
