She has not spoken about this songs after it’s release, but on the YouTube video where she posted it, she said:
I’m so excited to share this with you guys. This one is about one of my friends and her guy friends, um, and, I just thought that this would be fun to write about and this person means a...
[Verse 1]
You promised you'd say goodbye
You promised you'd hold me one more time
But you didn't
You told me I'd always know
You told me to never let you go
So I didn't
[Chorus]
But now it's far more complicated
You now think I'm overrated
Don't you?
Don't you? Don't you?
And now my heart will be so broken
As it's like we've never spoken
It's so new
We're now like strangers
[Post-Chorus 1]
You blame it on the fact that
We're just stupid teenagers
We're now like strangers
But that's okay 'cause
We're just innocent teenagers
[Verse 2]
I told you, told you it all
My weakness, how to make me fall
I trusted you
Turns out you loved to talk
You were nothing you said you were of
And that's true
[Chorus]
But now it's far more complicated
You now think I'm overrated
Don't you?
Don't you? Don't you?
And now my heart will be so broken
As it's like we've never spoken
It's so new
We're now like strangers
[Post-Chorus 2]
You blame it on the fact that
We're just stupid teenagers
We're now like strangers
There's no excuse 'cause
We're just innocent teenagers
[Bridge]
Should've known you'd walk around
While someone else was on the ground
You think I would've tried to bring you down
Now, what did it even mean
When you said you'd be there for me
Were you faking all that was between?
[Outro]
'Cause you never said goodbye
You never held me one more time
And you promised
I will never know
Why you ever let me go
