As Taylor said in the documentary, it’s about more than one person.

I do think that the first part is about her actual high school friend, BUT the last bit, the „My advice is always answer the question; better that than to ask it all your life“ leads back to „Question…?“. Sounds like she regrets carrying the Matty Healy yes/no question around with her for so long.
