If you grew up in a dysfunctional home or know someone who did you will likely appreciate this song. It is about someone I was in an on again off again relationship with for many years, whom I deeply loved and whose heart I wanted to heal but the job proved to be too much for me. The original poem this song was based on was far more detailed, yet even it barely scratches the surface of what he experienced...I wrote it after he poured his heart out to me one day, weeping in my arms profusely. I think he has since gotten help and by all appearances is doing better now though - I hope so.more
