This song is a beautiful haunting reminder to let go of the past and your expectations about what your future was supposed to be, and instead to try and embrace the life that you have. I confess that I have spent the last year kind of silently wallowing in my regrets and sadness about how my life has turned out so far.... The divorce/separation with my husband is a tough pill to swallow. The relationship has broken down and likely can't be repaired... so i am trying to move on with my life without the daily ways I usually torture myself about the regrets of the past.
