With opening lines like "waiting for sunshine in the rain, trying to let go of my pain..." Morgan captures the raw vulnerability of heartache with poetic grace. The bittersweet struggle of longing for closure amidst the turmoil of lost love. Each word is infused with a sense of longing and vulnerability, drawing listeners into the innermost depths of her heartache. But it's the lines - "but I can't let go, can't let go, I think there's something you don't know that I, I can't seem to let go..." that truly cuts to the core of the song's emotional intensity. With each repetition, Morgan lays bare the desperation of clinging to memories that refuse to fade, despite the pain they bring.
