This song is entirely inspired by a situation I faced while dating a girl who unexpectedly decided we should see other people. While I was away attending a funeral, she started dating someone else. When I returned, she was far from forthcoming about what had happened. Eventually, I found out from friends that she had gone out with this total loser.
Interestingly, I wasn’t as upset as I might have expected. The writing was on the wall, and deep down, I realized she wasn’t worth my effort. At first, I cared way too much about our breakup, but with time, I came to appreciate how everything unfolded. In the end, I was grateful for how things turned out.
