the biggest thing that jumped out to me on the first run of listening to this song is the lyric "You can paint over any mistake, but you can't remove the original fake"
It stands out that at the beginning of a (most) relationship, sometimes people lie to make themselves look better and more attractive to the other person. While you are in the relationship you can make mistakes, it is expected. But when you revert to your true self after fronting for so long, it destroys the very foundation of the relationship versus just making a mistake.
In summation, I think this song is entirely about trust dissolving over time in a relationship.
