No matter how much two people love each other, there will come a time when they part ways or grow apart.

Even when you’re together, even when it feels like it could last forever, there are many things you have to face on your own.

At such times, her song speaks of human loneliness, telling us that we can’t always be with someone, and that there are times when we must become strong standing only on our own two feet.
