The chorus repeats the same lines, questioning what it is about love, loss, and making mistakes that can bring about significant changes in our lives. The lines "help me fake my smiles, I'm acting with myself" could suggest that the singer is putting on a brave face in order to hide their true feelings, possibly indicating that they are feeling lost or uncertain in their relationship.
