I wanted this song to be my final “goodbye” to the anchor in my life, someone I loved so much with all of my being who just wasn’t capable of loving me on the same level. This was such an emotional release. It was so therapeutic for me and hopefully it will be for others who have been in a similar situation. I’m really proud of this one.”
