"Lucky" is about a complicated and unbalanced relationship. The narrator acknowledges that the person they are singing to is lucky because they seem to get away with everything in the relationship. Despite any wrongdoings, this person still wants it all.
In the verses, the narrator questions whether this person ever feels guilt for their actions and emphasizes the lack of communication and connection in the relationship by mentioning the lack of reception and how they're breaking up. The narrator also mentions that they want to believe this person, but they don't.
The chorus reinforces the idea that this person is lucky, but the narrator wonders if they ever truly loved them or if they were just too numb to feel anything. The repeated line of "I knew it all along" in the outro suggests that the narrator had a sense of the truth throughout the relationship, possibly indicating a lack of trust and a feeling of being used.
Overall, "Lucky" portrays a one-sided and manipulative relationship where the narrator questions the sincerity of the other person's feelings and highlights their own sense of awareness and disappointment.
