the song of ''my love mine all mine'' has infact been confirmed by the songwriter herself, mitski, in an interview, expressing how it is about how the greatest thing shes ever done was to love; and how that one day she'll die, and all her personal belongings will dissipate with her, but not the mark she had made with her music and her love. the song was first created and fathomed upon mitski carrying the groceries to her home, as she began singing to ignore how heavy the bags were, before promptly realising she was fond of how it was currently sounding; and rushed to write it down the second she got home.

circle could possibly resemble that of a drunk affair; with the intentions of it being a one-time thing, however, the man encouraging the both of them to remain with one another and not to cut ties. thus, the lyrics of "'you told me once you were happy to have me, but i never gave me away"" symbolizes how the man may be rushing the relationship and circumstance they are in, as the woman never really had the full intention of meeting with the man when she is sober. the hesitation of the woman is further elaborated on in verse 5(?) where the first sentence ends with ''i think.'', as the entire original intention of the relationship being long gone, but the love not being replicated as the woman had left her heart in the tree to tease the man. the final line reflecting that, as her love is that of a lie.
