“You can pretend you don't miss me”
— Billie Eilish
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people act like they don't care about someone when, deep down, they really do. Imagine you have a friend who moved to a different city. You might tell others that you don't miss them, but every time you see something that reminds you of them, you feel a deep pang of longing. This quote is about that behavior. People often hide their true feelings because they think it's easier or less painful. It's like putting up a tough front to protect themselves from getting hurt. However, pretending not to miss someone doesn't change the fact that those feelings are still there. This advice suggests being more honest with ourselves and others about our emotions. Acknowledging how much you miss someone can lead to better emotional health and closer, more genuine relationships.
