Damn, I love the imagery in this song -- "used to keep my picture posted by your bedside, now it's in your dresser with the socks you don't like"? Amazing. And relatable too, I mean, who doesn't have that annoying drawer of mismatched socks that you've just given up on? As mucha as I detest the idea of "winning" a breakup, I think Post Malone describes it excellently here. Talking about how the two people that have broken up aren't actually better off, but need to make the other person think that they're better off. It's also a commentary on fickle teenage love -- Post Malone goes on to call his ex "the love of his life" while she is only 20 years old ("20 candles, blow 'em and open your eyes" again with the imagery. I love it!). Overall, an awesome breakup song if you're looking to sulk and be mad for a while after you've been dumped.
