My friend came out to me as this song was playing in the background and it purely expressed how he felt. From abusing drugs, to being on the wrong path, to criticism from his parents. It helped him reflect and keep on what the last line in the chorus says "I'm trying." Beautiful and amazing. Thank you Kev. You truly create soundtracks to life
