Discover the story of the song > Veronica Sawyer Smokes – Afi

This song is about a person (referred as "she") who was young and naive when she fell in love with someone ("her partner") who didn't feel the same way about her. She thought that her partner loved her back, but she was wrong. She felt hurt and betrayed when she saw her partner with someone else, and it made her cry ("brought tears to my wide eyes"). She had imagined a perfect relationship with her partner in her mind and thought they would be together forever, but her partner didn't follow the script she had created. This made her feel like she was dying inside. The song repeats that she felt hurt and heartbroken when she saw her partner with someone else.
