This song is about a person who is feeling very hurt and empty inside because their romantic partner left them. The person is wondering if their partner can understand how much pain they are in, even though they might seem fine on the outside. They also question if their partner can see how much they still love them and how hard it is to move on. The person feels like the pain will never go away and they can't forget all the mistakes they made that led to the breakup. Despite all this, they still wonder if their partner can smile and pretend to be okay, even though they are hurting just like them.
