Heartbreak arrives first, and it immediately pulls you into a space of painful clarity—the moment when you realize something irreplaceable is truly gone. That initial ache opens the door to memories you thought you'd moved past, suddenly vivid and inescapable.
You return to this song when you're processing a significant loss, whether fresh or old. It's the track that finds you late at night when you're alone with what you've lost, or when something small unexpectedly reminds you of someone who mattered.
