The realization that her "trust" was actually she ignored her instincts.
"Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice, shame on me / 'Cause I put it on my jealousy."
: The chorus plays on the saying "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Olivia uses this to admit she initially ignored red flags, blaming her "jealousy" for what she now sees was clear infidelity.
"Daddy always told me / I should find myself a guy / Who loves more than I do."
: The lyrics detail a deep personal betrayal where the narrator's partner cheats with her "best friend".
