The lyrics depict the singer, referred to as "I" or "me," pining for a guy named Drew, who is oblivious to her feelings.

She imagines that this other girl he talks about must be beautiful and has everything she needs to live without him. The songwriter highlights the feelings of jealousy and longing through the lyrics.
The chorus reveals that Drew is the reason for the tears on her guitar, symbolizing her emotional pain. He is the one thing that keeps her holding onto hope, the song she continuously sings in her car without really knowing why.
In the bridge, the singer emphasizes her solitude and heartbreak when Drew is not around, as she goes home alone and contemplates his photograph. The final chorus further emphasizes her dependency on him, as he is the only person who truly knows her well enough to break her hear. Despite the pain he causes, she cannot let go of him.
The song's message revolves around unrequited love, the pain of longing for someone who does not feel the same way, and the difficulty of moving on. It conveys the emotional turmoil and vulnerability that often accompany such situations, offering a relatable experience for listeners who have experienced unrequited love themselves.
