Songfacts®:

  • During a live recording on April 15, 2006, lead singer Lacey Mosley said: "I don't know about you guys, but I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I've hurt a lot of people and I've been hurt by a lot of people. There's a lot of guys out there that really mistreat girls, and a lot of girls out there that really mistreat guys. I've broken promises that I've made to people that I love and to God and everything. I've messed up a lot, and the point is that if you've been messed up and made mistakes doesn't mean that you have to keep screwing up, or that your life is ruined and that you're worthless. It means that you can start over, you just have to make that decision yourself. That's what I think about when I sing this song." >>

  • Corina from Denver, CoThis is my favorite song, because it is so full of meaning and emotion. Its all about forgiveness and redemption. Letting go.
  • Saralee from Champaign, IlI'm pretty sure that the lyrics are "...choris romance says goodnight..." cuz I found out that choris means seperated and that would really makes sense.
  • Holly from Richmond, Moi love this song! i just feel like it really speaks to me
  • Kristen from Saucier, MsIn another interview she said that this song is kind of hard for her to do live because its so personal to her.
