An intimate song about not giving up on love. If you had someone you wish you would of kept on fighting for instead of walking away, well this song is about the why! hope you love more
Just a bit of my life history put to song... Many of you will not get the meaning of the words, but that is fine... This is one of my personal healing songs. Just enjoy the musical dynamics.more
