  • This Dennis Matkosky, Melissa Pierce and Jonathan Singleton penned ballad speaks about letting go of things that are beyond your control. Cagle told The Boot how this song helped him to reconcile with his own mom. "That song came from this: I had my kids, and I hadn't spoken to my mother in a long time," he explained. "Because I'm the type of person where if you hurt me enough, I'll just flat cut you out, I don't care if you're mom, dad, Jesus. I don't care. I had my kids and I thought I owed it to my children and my mother to call her up and to tell her I would love to reintroduce you into my life, and forgive you of some things and have you forgive me of some things, and she declined seeing her grandkids at the time. So my wife made a statement, she said, 'You know, it's probably just time for you let all of it go, honey.' That was a song that when I heard it, it was one of the reasons that I called her. Because it was time for me to let go of a lot of baggage and a lot of things that I carried, a lot of guilt, a lot of hurt."
