Trivia
Lagu emosional ini dirilis pada tahun 2017 dan menjadi bagian dari album studio ketiga Neck Deep, “The Peace and The Panic”. Liriknya, yang ditulis bersama oleh vokalis Ben Barlow dan mantan bassis Fil Thorpe-Evans, menyentuh tema kehilangan yang mendalam.
Secara spesifik, lagu ini diilhami dari pengalaman kehilangan orang terdekat—seorang teman masa kecil Fil Thorpe-Evans dan juga mendiang ayah Ben Barlow.
Pesan utamanya adalah penyesalan karena tidak memanfaatkan waktu bersama dan kesulitan menerima klise “mereka sudah berada di tempat yang lebih baik.” Bagian lirik: “Too bad, it’s not what I believe” menegaskan sentimen ini, menjadikannya lagu yang sangat pribadi dan mengharukan tentang duka cita.
