i heard the song while she was getting ready. the singer described a man who never listened, never understood, and left his girlfriend alone with her feelings. then the lyrics mentioned our exact vacation destination
i asked who she'd written it about. she said it was just a creative exercise with ai music. when i pointed out the line about our broken dishwasher, she looked surprised that i'd been listening
i didn't object to her using music to process feelings. i did object to learning the relationship was over from a chorus that had already been scheduled for release
we broke up after an actual conversation. a week later the song appeared online. it was catchy, which made the whole situation significantly more irritating
