When asked if she was referring to emotional abuse, she agreed.
She said: “Yes, and I think that it’s something that — I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. As much as I definitely don’t want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I’ve ever felt and I’ve found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible.
I’m very proud of it [the song]. It has a different meaning to me now from when I wrote it. I felt I didn’t get a respectful closure, and I had accepted that, but I know I needed some way to just say a few things that I wish I had said.

It’s not a hateful song; it’s a song that is saying—I had something beautiful and I would never deny that it wasn’t that,”
