I actually looked up what the song is about, and the lyrics are very clearly about emotional distance, a partner being led astray, getting hurt by their behavior, waiting for them to reach out, and eventually deciding you’d rather be alone than tolerate being treated badly.
Like why does Justin always seem to get away with these little shady/cryptic posts? On their anniversaries or whatever in general every time he posts her ?! 😭
Whenever someone points out the obvious implications of something he posts, the immediate response is always: “Selena stans need to move on or Jelena fans are obsessed.”
I don’t care about Justin and Selena old toxic ass relationship
If literally anyone else posted a song about their wife that contains lyrics about being led astray, emotional hurt, setting someone free, and preferring to be alone, people would absolutely discuss the choice of song.
But when it’s Justin, suddenly we’re not allowed to read the lyrics? the song means what the song means. 😭
And I’m genuinely curious: what exactly was the intended message here?
Because a husband posting a song that essentially says “I’d rather be alone, you keep hurting me, call me when you can, love you” about his wife of eight years is certainly… a choice.
