My mother and I danced to this at my wedding. I miss her every day.

I’m crying while listening to this
My mommy issues are coming to the surface

[@nickjames205]

Yeah this song is a real tear-jerker I woke up with it in my head one morning and was crying for no reason listening to it was really weird

[@fernandabotta6540]

It reminds me of my nieces I miss so so much. It's so effing beautiful, also crying here.

This song has always felt directed to me. I was born with jaundice… I have blue eyes, I remember my first halloween my cousin was dressed as woody from toy story. All of these lyrics are just so lethal to me. This song has done unreachable things to my emotions. Conor ALWAYS… and I mean ALWAYSSSS… brings this type of recognition to emotions I have never understood others have too.

One of my all time favorite songs. It always brings a tear to my eyes.
