    To be completley honest... I was sitting on my back porch and saw a worn down birdhouse. and used it as my inspiration. Although the point was to be emotional yet simple enough that anyone could relate.

    tore me up.... had an ex, i wish i could have said this to.... though its too ambiguous to tell if this is towards family, friends, ex, or anything else... the content still rung true to me.
