Discover the story of the song > Sarah Yellin – 3 Doors Down

The protagonist is listening to someone (possibly his partner) who is upset and crying. She tells him that she is going to say something important that will change everything. She has been suffering and crying for a long time. She talks about how her father treated her poorly and took away her soul. She also mentions a brother, asking him to prevent the same thing from happening again. Now she has decided that it is over and she is going to make it end. She stands at the bed of the person who hurt her and has a way to set herself free from him. She is done with everything and is ready for it to be over. The song ends by saying that the old man is dead with a bullet in his head.
