No comments? I'm surprised - Halsey is incredible. To be honest, the first time I heard this, I promptly began crying - and I still do so from time to time.
The meaning is fairly obvious - boy and girl hook up, girl starts to fall for boy, but boy has girlfriend, so she can't say anything because falling in love was never allowed. In the end, she admits to and apologizes for her feelings before asking if they can pretend they're in love, because she wants to believe that he loves her back - even if it isn't real.
Though the meaning is straightforward, the way Halsey manages to make it so personal, yet relevant to anybody who's gone through this, captures the complexity of friends-with-benefits situations that accidentally become more to one person.
