The song’s lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil of deciding whether to pursue a relationship despite the potential for heartbreak.

Lines like “I’ve always been the one to say the first goodbye / Had to love and lose a hundred million times / Had to get it wrong to know just what I like” highlight the narrator’s past experiences with love and loss, setting the stage for her current dilemma.
