“I bet they could never understand that you’re mine and still you’re someone else’s too”
— Fiona Apple
Simplified Meaning:
In relationships, it's possible for someone to be very close to two people at the same time, but in different ways. For example, you may have a best friend who means the world to you, and you're very important to them, too. However, this friend can also have a romantic partner who holds a different, yet equally significant place in their heart. Imagine if someone couldn't grasp how your friend could care deeply for both you as a friend and their partner as a lover. This idea means that our bonds and connections with different people don't always have to compete with each other. Someone can belong in your life meaningfully without that taking anything away from their relationship with someone else. Embracing this concept can help you appreciate the unique role each person plays in your life.
