Content

The song is about a man visiting his former lover, telling her that he still feels emotions for her, but that "it's time for letting go" and that he has moved on to have a relationship with another woman. In the final verse, it is revealed that the woman that the narrator is talking to has died.

Brock told CMT that "The first time I heard this song, it reminded me of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today.' It had that much power and that much passion...It was kinda strange because when you hear the first two verses you think, 'What a jerk!' Then it twists so hard at the end... it has brought grown men to tears."[2]
