Listen to “Pain” by Nessa Barrett
What breaks her heart the most is the fact that she has little to no idea why the relationship fell apart. “Beautiful, with room to grow,” is one of the explanations she got, which is close to useless in her healing process.
In the second verse, she does realize that she is not getting much closure no matter how hard she tries to search the darkest corners of her mind to find answers. She has one final hope, one we all rely on, time. Maybe some time away from everyone and everything can help her too.

This song is relateable in many different ways. It can be interpreted in a different way and that’s why it’s a number 1 for me. ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah exactly. I have never been in a relationship before, but I couldn’t relate more to this song. I lost a best friend to suicide. I am in so much pain. He “left me in the early morning.” He’s the one to blame for all my pain. The people around me can’t help me but perhaps time will. I would never have been able to find a reason to let him go. But now he’s gone.
THIS IS obviousLY aBouT jOsH!!!!!!!
