He feels that this person is being treated roughly by her current lover and promises to rescue her and give her a better relationship. The singer plainly states that this lady is in a somewhat abusive or fruitless relationship which is not what she deserves. He’s so confident because it is obvious she is unhappy and wants to quit but finds it difficult to do so. Shawn doesn’t seem to understand why she is still wasting her time and tears on someone who does not even treat her like a lady. He then promises to wait for her to give him a signal once she’s ready to leave so that he will step in and show her the love she merits. He offers to support and protect her as she breaks off her current relationship because the lady might be afraid or emotionally unstable at the time. Rumor has it that the song is about Fifth Harmony member, Camila Cabello, who is said to have dated Shawn in 2016. The two have however insisted that they were just friends.
