“Wasted times I spent with someone else / She wasn’t even half of you” Though those words would seem at first glance to be about Gomez, it’s clear we’re back to Bella in “Wasted Times,” since he goes on to clearly identify her and here kicks things off by suggesting that actually, Gomez was something of a placeholder for him, too.
“The way I kissed your scars / The way I fixed your heart / Don’t you mess with me, babe” Again, this could be interpreted figuratively, but given how Gomez was recently seen with the physical scars left from her kidney transplant, it seems more than likely that his words are literal here. As one of the sleuths at Genius pointed out, the next line, “But I just got the picture that you texted to me,” happens to be the same as a caption Tesfaye wrote for an Instagram of himself holding up his phone that he posted in March, though what follows are a couple of contradictory verses that don’t really suggest much at all. “You’re lookin’ grown since the last time I looked at you / It might have been, been about a couple months” Moving on to the next, song, “Try Me,” aka Bella time! Tesfaye of course was spending much less time with (and thinking about) Hadid when dating Gomez, and this seems to point to when they reunited shortly after his and Gomez’s breakup. “Guess I was just another pit stop / Until you made up your mind / You wasted my time” Here, Tesfaye seems to realize that while his support may have been appreciated, Gomez was never planning to keep things long-term, instead using him as a placeholder before she jumped back at reuniting with Bieber. “We found each other / I helped you out of a broken place / You gave me comfort / But falling for you was my mistake” The very first lines of the EP’s opener, “Call Out My Name,” seem to make it clear that he’s talking about Gomez: their relationship began not long after Gomez went to rehab-reportedly for the chronic autoimmune disease Lupus, though Gomez has also lately been more candid about her “issues with depression and anxiety,” which she also feels she’ll never overcome. Getting into more of the nitty-gritty, though, from the explicit to the questionable, read on for a guide of all of Tesfaye’s apparent references to the pair, here. (What other equestrian could he talking about in “Wasted Times” than Hadid, a noted horse girl?) Over the course of the EP, Tesfaye makes it clear that both are on his mind-and that he’s definitely down for breakup sex.
And while it’d been expected to be all about Gomez, My Dear Melancholy in fact seems to address both her and Hadid-so explicitly at times that saying “seems” doesn’t even seem to be necessary. Tesfaye and Hadid dated for nearly two years, breaking up in November of 2016, a couple of months before Tesfaye moved on to Gomez. (What started off as a friendship rekindled by church quickly turned into something more, since they were spotted kissing the very next month meanwhile, Tesfaye was spotted leaving his ex Bella Hadid‘s apartment not long after, around the same time he and Gomez unfollowed each other on Instagram and he deleted several photos of her from his grid.) He and Gomez dated for the majority of last year, making their public debut as a couple at the Met Gala just five months in to their relationship, then reportedly moving in together in September, before breaking things off the very next month in October-just a few days after Gomez was spotted having brunch with Bieber. In the midst of all the rumors swirling about Selena Gomez and whether or not her rekindled relationship with Justin Bieber has finally come to a real end this time, her ex, The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, entered the fray on Friday at midnight, when he dropped a six-song (or essentially, a six-ballad) EP called My Dear Melancholy, which is just as emotionally fraught and reflective as its title suggests.
