The song is about a protagonist who has experienced heartbreak but is grateful for the memories she has. She knows that most relationships in this world don't go smoothly and it's easy to fall in love but difficult to be in a mutual relationship. She used to believe that it was destiny and made a big fuss about life and death, but realized that she was just dreaming and woke up from that dream. She was able to overcome sleepless nights and now she is thankful for the heartbreak because it allowed her to become stronger. She knows that talking to her friends won't solve her problems and she might have been intoxicated with her own worries. She knows that she should start a new relationship and that the future holds opportunities for her to meet someone new. She is grateful for the heartbreak because it allowed her to be brave and she will slowly forget her sadness as she faces the future. The protagonist repeats the phrase "thank you for the heartbreak" and acknowledges that she can't forget her ex, and even though she still loves him, she knows it's not possible to be together.
