Discover the story of the song > One for the Braves – Good riddance

The song is about the protagonist's friend or romantic partner who is going through a tough time and is struggling with the weight of the world. The protagonist wants to help but feels powerless and doesn't have all the answers. They reassure their friend/partner that they are always by their side, even when they feel scared and alone, and will be there for them when their tears have dried. The lyrics also touch on the idea that sometimes it feels like everyone is conspiring against you, but the protagonist is still there for their friend/partner despite that.
