The lyric concerns a woman's discovery that her boyfriend has been sleeping with another man. The main chorus couplet - "Couldn't you have told me before? / I would have loved you so much more" - suggests that her problem is not so much that her boyfriend is gay or bisexual, but simply that he lied to her about himself, and that under other circumstances they could have been good friends.

gollark: I don't need anything else out of a phone, and am tired of the inability to even change DNS servers on Android, so it seems pretty cool.
gollark: It's a shame it doesn't have a physical keyboard, but for "relatively open thing which can browse the interweb and send SMS/make calls" it does seem pretty good.
gollark: Cool, a pinephone channel.
