I wrote this song in 2014 - right after I started playing country music again. This song was sort of a test - I wanted to see if I could still write a country song ( I hadn't done it for many years ). This song is not really a literal description of my own experience but I drew on my tendency to think that I was "better on my own" and this song was about me realizing that wasn't true. And that was something that I had realized many years before.
