This song personifies my early life.
Growing up in a fractured family at a very young age and my decent into childhood depression at 6yr or so.
I didn't know how to communicate articulately what I was feeling at that age and things just got worse.
I was eternally sad and just thought that was what life was for everyone. Having suicidal thoughts and 'preying' that I might die in my sleep or wake up as someone else and have another family.
The core problem being the separation of my parents.
Like the song, we didn't "talk about it" and told to "not think about it". We lived on struggle street, 3 kids and a single parent. The other parent disappearing from us.
Now at 32, I find myself listening to what my early life was like, in an amazing song and I thought I was the only one that could describe what it felt like.
