A song by singer-songwriter erica, whose lyrics, written in straightforward words about the pain of heartbreak, stir the heart.

This song conveys the real feelings of a girl in love—maximum heartbreak—and it’s the kind of track that might bring you to tears.

It’s one you’ll want to sing with all your might when you want to pour your feelings out to the person you like.
