The pop song details the remnants of a romance gone awry from the perspectives of both lovers.
“It’s beautiful, it’s bittersweet / You’re like a broken home to me,” Levine begins. “I take a shot of memories / And black out like an empty street / I fill my days with the way you walk / And fill my nights with broken dreams / I make up lies inside my head / Like one day you’ll come back to me.”
“You did me wrong ‘cause I let you,” Megan kicks off her verse, before rapping about cutting ties with a lover who’s mistreated her.
“Usually, I like my situations beneficial / Doin’ something different, got me lookin' stupid / The only way I’m comin' back to you is if you dream it, lucid,” she continues. “Prove it, if you made a promise then keep it / Why you wanna lie and then get mad? I don’t believe it.”
