When at her show only a few days ago she explained the song to us and she said that she used to have a boyfriend that would leave messages in the pockets of all her pants, usually saying things along the lines of “You’re beautiful, I love you”. And the audience thought it was so beautiful until she said “but unfortunately he treated me like s***”. She said that he treated her like she was nothing (hence the line ‘he said “one day I would realise why i don’t have any friends), and that it wasn’t for a really long time that she found her worth and what she believes she is, which was a lot more than her ex put her down to be (hence the line, ‘I said I’m not something to butter up and taste when you get bored’). Anyway, she said that months after they broke up she would still find all those notes in her pants and so she got jack of it and took every single pair of pants she had and threw them in the wash, hoping to drown every single note left, thus the line: ‘You wrote 100 letters just for me. And I find them in my closet in the pockets of my jeans. Now I’m constantly reminded of the time I was 19, every single one’s forgotten in a laundromat machine’.
