I discovered Billie Eilish, and this song, while I still had a particular person [nominally] in my life. This song had such an obvious connection to them that I still think of them when I hear it. But so much of what they told me turned out to not be true that I'm not sure how much relevance the song actually has. I had already determined that they didn't give a crap about my interests in music, so I wasn't about to recommend this song, and on the off chance they hadn't seen this, I didn't want it to upset them. But I feel like such a chump, over so many things regarding this person, that I can't take the song or this video very seriously anymore.
Shame, because the song is potentially relevant to me, too. I've never experienced a breakup, because I've never had a relationship, but there's still lots to identify with.
Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
