Story Behind The Song
This song was written about a past relationship where the other person was willing to do everything to make it last. They were nurturing, giving and would bend over backwards for me. Unfortunately you cannot convince yourself to love someone. Sometimes the best thing you can do is let them go. It is best that they learn to hold true to themselves and not try to give everything away to another person, you never know if they are giving everything back.

Lyrics
I'm alone and, I've been atonin'
For all the things I never said
You've been dreaming, baby I been scheming
To put an end to all our plans
I alone, let you breathe
You're the one that Help Me See
I alone, set you free
Set you free
You got your bags packed, and I won't even ask
What are the words I need to say
Well I've been calling, baby you've been fallin'
And I won't say another word
I alone, let you breathe
You're the one that Help Me See
I alone, set you free
Set you free
(Interlude)
I alone, let you breathe
You're the one that Help Me See
I alone, set you free
Set you free
