The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal and deception. The chorus reveals the singer's vulnerable situation, as he grapples with the fact that his partner has lied to him—assuring him that everything is fine while secretly being with someone else. The line “you told me that you're all mine when it's a lie” underscores the shattered trust and inner turmoil the protagonist feels.
