In Their Words: ā€œSeveral years ago, I desperately wanted to tell someone in my family how I felt about their addiction, but couldnā€™t find the right words to say to get my message across. So I wrote a song about it with Deanna Walker and Rick Beresford in Nashville. Not only did I hope it would help my own situation, but I was also hoping it would help others who have friends or family members struggling with addiction. It is a very truthful song about the self-destruction that can happen on both sides, but also has a hopeful tone to signify that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. I want people to know that they arenā€™t alone in this struggle and give them the right words to say.ā€ ā€” Helena Rose
