In this poignant ballad, the artist navigates the aftermath of a painful relationship, marked by deception and emotional turmoil. The narrative reveals her struggle with self-blame for allowing herself to be deceived. She reproaches herself for ignoring the signs of her partner's unfaithfulness, blinded by love and hope. The recurring phrase "Loved me with your worst intentions" suggests that she fell for a person who exploited her love for their own selfish desires. The song title metaphorically alludes to the direction their relationship took - a direction filled with pain and betrayal. Nonetheless, it also serves as an acknowledgment of her misjudgment in choosing a partner, suggesting growth and self-awareness from this experience. This introspective piece is not just about heartbreak but also about learning from our mistakes and moving forward.
