The overall theme of the song revolves around feelings of betrayal and confusion after a romantic relationship falls apart. The singer grapples with the sudden shift from intimacy to being an outsider in a relationship that once felt secure. It’s a mix of anger, sadness, and the struggle to understand what went wrong.

Verse 1
You broke a pinky promise
With your ring finger, mm
I hope you got what you wanted
And get what you deserve, mm
In this verse, the singer sets the stage for their feelings of betrayal. The "pinky promise" symbolizes trust, while "ring finger" hints at a deeper commitment like marriage. The contrast between these two concepts shows how the other person has broken that trust. There's a sense of bitterness in hoping they get what they deserve, suggesting that the singer feels wronged in this situation.
Chorus
Fuck, marry, kill
You're playing with me still
Was it ever real?
Were you faking how you feel?
Fuck, marry, kill
You did it, one, two, three
You screwed me with a ring
It'll be the death of me
The chorus hits hard with its raw emotion. The repetition of "Fuck, marry, kill" emphasizes the chaos the singer feels. It's as if the relationship was a game to the other person. The questions about reality and feelings show the singer's confusion and hurt. The line about being "screwed with a ring" highlights the irony of betrayal coming from what was supposed to be a promise of love.
Verse 2
And I know he makes more money
Than a boy in a band, mm
And honey I think it's funny
I found out on Instagraⅿ, mm
In this verse, the singer reflects on the new partner of the person who betrayed them. The mention of money brings up feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. It’s painful to realize that the ex has moved on so quickly, especially through social media, which adds another layer of hurt. The use of "funny" shows a mix of sarcasm and sadness; it's a way to cope with the pain.
Chorus
Fuck, marry, kill

It'll be the death of me

Love of my life (fuck, marry, kill)
But then you left me for dead
The bridge dives deeper into the singer's emotional state. The repeated question "What did you want from me?" shows desperation and confusion.

You broke a pinky promise
With your ring finger, mm
I hope you got what you wanted
And get what you deserve, mm
One second you were kissing me
Next second he was down on one knee
Remember when we played that game?
Well, now your answers changed
Fuck, marry, kill
You're playing with me still
Was it ever real?
Were you faking how you feel?
Fuck, marry, kill
You did it, one, two, three
You screwed me with a ring
It'll be the death of me
And I know he makes more money
Than a boy in a band, mm
And honey I think it's funny
I found out on Instagraⅿ, mm
One second you were kissing me
Next second he was down on one knee
Remember when he played that game?
Well, now your answers changed
Fuck, marry, kill
You're playing with me still
Was it ever real?
Were you faking how you feel?
Fuck, marry, kill
You did it, one, two, three
You screwed me with a ring

You made a mess
Love of my life (fuck, marry, kill)
But then you left me for dead
What did you want from me?
How should I act?
Was somebody's bride to be
The best that I'll have?
What did you want from me?
What can I do?
Was I always gonna lose?
Fuck, marry, kill
You're playing with me still
Was it ever real?
Were you faking how you feel?
Fuck, marry, kill
You did it, one, two, three
You screwed me with a ring
It'll be the death of me
What did you want from me? (Fuck, marry, kill)
Love me and left
It was our wedding (fuck, marry, kill)
Now I'm only a guest
What did you want from me? (Fuck, marry, kill)
You made a mess
Love of my life (fuck, marry, kill)
But then you left me for dead
