Selena Gomez stated in an Interview that this song is about the things someone from her past said it to her.
[Verse 1]
I know the two of you used to talk like every day
And ever since I came around, it hasn't been the same

[Chorus]
Please don't take it personally
Some things are just meant to be

We both know that he loves me
Oh, honey, you deserve it
I know you're gonna find somebody perfect

Oh, forever
Forever and ever
[Outro]
Please don't take it personally
