• Here, Marshmello links up with Halsey to explore trust issues in a relationship.
• Halsey's lover has emotional issues and is afraid to be vulnerable. Instead of opening to her, he's "choking" on his fears, telling lies and acting aggressively. Halsey assures her man that she truly cares for him and if he would unburden himself, she will remain by his side. This is because she believes it's his bruised ego making him react the way he is and he doesn't "have a bad bone" in his body. Rather than fighting when things become tough, she urges her beau to "be kind."
• During the bridge, Halsey talks about how her love for her emotionally stunted man is weighing her down.
  
  I know it's hard for you, but it's not fair
  Going sick in the head, tryna get you there
  
  Halsey's support for a toxic lover leading her into a destructive place is a theme she's touched on in several previous songs, including "Without Me" (2018).
  
  Just runnin' from the demons in your mind
  Then I took yours and made 'em mine
  
  And "Graveyard" (2019)
  
  I know when you go
  Down all your darkest roads
  I woulda followed all the way to the graveyard

  Amy Allen, who co-penned "Without Me" and "Graveyard." Her other credits include Selena Gomez' "Back to You" and Harry Styles' "Adore You."
