Could've said this day was coming I see your ...: In the official Genius Verified video, Dove explained that this song was based on a true story where she suddenly got a text from “somebody who was the last person [she] was expecting to get a text from”.

I was in a good place and suddenly I had a text from somebody who was the last person I was expecting to get a text from. You know, it’s that moment, it’s like that moment in the book where it’s like suddenly someone reappears, and I was like “no way”. And I’m like immediately texting all my friends being like “dude”. Sending that little “SOS” emoji and everybody’s calling and I’m like, “What do I do? What do I do?”. Like, no. I’m at a crossroads right now, I can’t go backwards in my healing. It felt like a finalizing moment where it’s like, if I pass this test, I will have closed this door.

You're half in revelations Wish you'd ...: Dove Cameron broke down these lyrics in the official Genius Verified video:

In my personal experience, and in the experience of my friends and my loved ones, I think men take longer in general to process their emotion or a breakup or some big emotional impact. By the time she has done the work and she’s over some emotional hill with it, he is just now ready to have the conversations that she was begging to have. And that is painful. And that’s not even anyone’s fault. It’s just great songwriting material.
