Feelings about your ex can get pretty complicated. Sometimes, it boils down to the fact that you miss love or the way they loved you, not necessarily that person. Sometimes you have to remind yourself of that.

It's tough seeing someone again when you're not over them yet. It's even more tough when they keep popping into your life, ghosting you, rinse and repeat. It's toughest when throughout all of it, they're still that exact same person you knew, unchanged, but now a stranger nonetheless.

You know when there's so mich left to say, but the person you want to say it to has chosen to leave already? That's kind of what this is. Hopelessly spilling your guts, knowing there won't be a reply. What do you do with all of that heaviness, then?

I like a lot of alone time, especially when I don't particularly care for the people around me. When I wrote this, I was on SSRIs and couldn't feel much of anything. That sort of emptiness and "everyone leave me alone" mindset is what brought this song about.

When you move away from home, it can get really, really lonely, especially when the people you cared about have long since left you behind. It makes everything feel pointless- it even makes being sad over that pointless feeling feel pointless. Regardless, something had to be done with the feeling, so that's what brought this song about.
