This is one of my favorite songs on Tori's most recent album, because it shows both sides of the mother-daughter relationship. I love the underlying statements in the song that both of them are afraid that they will be judged too harshly and abandoned by the other and that both of them offer something salvific or restorative for the other. It's a nice reminder to be more gracious in the way we look at each other whether we're mothers or daughters or both.
The second verse especially speaks to me and my experience of coming out to my mom within the past year.
