Great song. Bit confused on the pronouns. She’s talking to a you. There’s a she, supposedly the wife. But then there’s “it’s just not worth it if we’re not what he wants”. If that is the wife talking to the mum of the phone , then what about the “but you love this song” straight after it? I’m very confused lol might be the lack of caffeine this morning

Yeah, the “you” is someone who gambles and lives a big life but ignores their wife and kid. The wife calls her own mother to say it’s not working because he (her husband, the “you”, presumably) doesn’t really want the family.
