  • Asked by Kerrang! what Of Mice & Men song is the hardest to play, Austin Carlile replied naming this track. He explained: "It's not hard to play in a technical sense, but it definitely is in an emotional one. The verses are a lot more real to me then people might think."

    "It's about self harm and literally saying that suicide is the worst thing you could do to the people you care about," Carlile continued. "It's saying, 'How could you say no-one was listening when I was right here wanting to listen to you?' It's about how I got past a difficult time and it ends with me saying, 'if I can do it, you can, because I'm not that strong, so please, believes you can do it, too.'"
