The song </3 by HONEYMOAN is about a relationship that ends over text message. The protagonist takes a while to reply to a message about themselves and their partner, and when they finally do, they see that the message has been read and ignored. Eventually, they discover that their partner is gay and has broken up with them over text, ending their relationship. The lyrics describe the disappointment and hurt that the protagonist feels as they come to terms with the end of their relationship. They express regret that things had to end in such a cold and impersonal way, and that they have lost a friend as well as a lover. The chorus repeats the phrase "Had a fight, we never had a fight we / Said goodnight and that was the last time that we spoke," emphasizing the sudden and abrupt nature of their breakup. Overall, the song is a reflection on the way that technology can impact our relationships, both for better and for worse. While it has made it easier to stay connected to people far away, it can also make it easier to break up with someone in a callous and insensitive way. </3 captures the confusion, pain, and sense of loss that can come with the end of a relationship, and reminds us of the importance of kindness and empathy in all our interactions.
