What it's about

The song looks back on growing up with parents who fought, and how love isn't always perfect. The singer, who once vowed never to be like her parents, now sees that accepting the pain that comes with love and heartbreak can be necessary, and she relates this to how her parents must have felt. It is about how perspective shifts as a person grows, in the world and in love.
