      Some think it’s a song alluding to unrequited love. So that is maybe why we get to feel a little down when we hear it. We’re missing something. Maybe the person who sang it to us, the nostalgia for childhood, or maybe we just get the idea that the lyrics sound just as pleading as they are declarative.

    My mom was the worst. Violent, loveless, cruel and egocentric. Spend my life in care homes and boarding schools just like my little sister. I still see a shrink 35 years later.

    My son has a loving ma and pa. He doesn’t like my singing tho…

      He might not like it, but he loves it. I have no doubt it makes him feel loved and safe.

        He turned 18 last year and he knows this is his home as long as he likes. We always made him feel we are living together in this house, our house.

        I never felt welcome at home in my childhood, my son will never ever have this feeling.

        Funny thing is I had a record contract with a now defunkt label when he was born. He must have heard a lot of noise inside his mom’s womb, I was just signing up when he was born, heheh.

    This is very sweet for them. If I imagine it happening to me, it makes me want to shrivel up.

    After readinf the lyrics i dont understand how people think this song is uplifting and positive.

    Its about how absolutely shattered the person singing the song is because of their love leaving them and loving someone else.

    Its a song of sadness and melancholy not hope.

    Weird how much of the song gets ignored
