bitches broken hearts
Billie Eilish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can pretend you don't miss me (me)
You can pretend you don't care
All you wanna do is kiss me (me)
Oh, what a shame I'm not there
You can pretend you don't miss me (me)
You can pretend you don't care
All you wanna do is kiss me (me)
Oh, what a shame I'm not there

What is it you want?
You can lie but I know that you're not fine
Every time you talk
It's all 'bout me, but you swear I'm not on your mind

You can pretend you don't miss me (me)
You can pretend you don't care
All you wanna do is kiss me (me)
Oh, what a shame I'm not there

Everybody knows
You and I are suicide and stolen art
Pretty mama sews
Stitches into all your bitches' broken hearts

You can pretend you don't miss me (me)
You can pretend you don't care
All you wanna do is kiss me (me)
Oh, what a shame I'm not there

Somebody new is gonna comfort you
Like you want me to
Somebody new is gonna comfort me
Like you never do




Every now and then, it hits me
That I'm the one that got away
But I guess bein' lonely fits me
And you were made for begging, "Stay"

Overall Meaning

In Billie Eilish's song "bitches broken hearts," the singer talks about how the person she's singing to can pretend that they don't miss her, but that deep down they do. She points out that every time they talk, they keep bringing up her name, and all they want to do is kiss her, even though she's not there. The lyrics are about a toxic relationship that has come to an end. The singer feels like the other person wants her back, but she has moved on and is no longer interested in continuing the relationship.


The lyrics convey a sense of power and control. The singer is aware that the other person is not over her, and she's using that to her advantage. She wants them to know that she's moved on and is no longer interested in them. She's also aware of the other person's weaknesses and how she can manipulate them. The second verse emphasizes this manipulation, and how the other person is not fine, despite their denial.


The third verse talks about how the other person has moved on to somebody new, but that person won't be able to comfort them the way the singer did. The last line of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer reveals that she's happier alone, and the other person was made to beg for her to stay.

Being alone suits me, despite losing you


And you were made for begging, "Stay"
You're the type of person who begs for someone to stay, but it's too late for us
