Hearing this song was meant for her brother who passed makes me even more emotionally connected to this song. I feel the lyrics. Because I am always thinking of the past when he was still here. Of yesterday. Knowing we could have done more for someone after they are gone, it seems like our conscience can't help but dwell on the guilt of being the one left alive. To me, it is this same guilt that keeps us from really living (not just existing) after the suffering and pain of losing someone so close.
