Story Behind The Song

I dated this girl whom i got close to and cared for but had real self esteem issues. She would always ask me where I was, what did I do, who was I with but never seem to really believe the answers. She thought that she was such a bad person with a bad reputation that noone would care about her for real. She was wrong. So I tried to let her know that with this song.

Song Description

Song about a women that had a pretty rough start in life, no self esteem, no self confidence, She was burned enough times to make it very hard for someone to get close to her.
