THE STORY
MARISSA
The End
#9 Sparrow - the 9th chapter - is about that gut-wrenching moment when you realize love isn't enough. It's the song I wrote sitting on my bedroom floor at 3 AM, surrounded by memories I couldn't bring myself to pack away. It's about the nights I spent replaying every conversation, wondering where we went wrong, and the mornings I woke up reaching for someone who wasn't there anymore. This song is for anyone who's ever felt the bittersweet pain of letting go of a person you thought was your forever. It's about finally accepting that growth sometimes means growing apart, and that's okay. It's the first step towards healing, even when every part of you wants to hold on.

The Climax
#7 Do You Remember - the 7th chapter - captures a moment when memories of love linger like the scent of wine and the touch of fingertips on bruised skin. It’s a reflection on a love that feels both cherished and fractured. It's about holding on to someone who made you feel alive, even as their actions cast shadows of doubt. Sometimes change isn't bad ... But that doesn't make it any easier. The good somehow always seems to linger and so do the broken promises. Breathe in, breathe out, and let go.
#6 Woods - the 6th chapter - is a song about the magnetic pull of someone who is as captivating as they are harmful, drawing parallels between a dark enchantment and the perils of love. It's about the part of us that battles with the decision to leave or linger in the arms of a love that feels like both a sanctuary and a battlefield. It’s for those who have found themselves lost in the depths, where passion and peril are inseparable, and where every choice seems both impossibly difficult and undeniably compelling.
#5 It Will Get Better - the 5th chapter - is about grappling with the duality of hope and heartbreak, of trying to find light in the looming shadow of a love that's inevitably slipping away. It embodies clinging to the Pieces of what was once something beautiful. It's for anyone who's ever found themselves whispering promises of brighter days to their reflection in the mirror, all the while nursing a soul heavy with sorrow, knowing deep inside that what once was has forever slipped away.

The Beginning
#3 Pieces - the 3rd chapter - is about those times when everything seems perfect on the surface, but deep down, there's that nagging feeling that something's not quite right. It's about the distance in his eyes, the rush in his steps, and poisonous remarks that cut deep. It's a song about seeing the red flags but being caught up in the beauty of the good moments - the late-night talks, the midnight walks ... 'Pieces' is about the struggle of holding on and the realization that maybe, just maybe, it's not meant to last. It's a song of love, doubt, and the painful journey of acknowledging that some things fall apart, even when we wish they wouldn't.
​
#2 Burn - the 2nd chapter - captures a part of life filled with joy. It's about those moments when everything feels just right, so perfect that you can hardly believe it's real. It's about the heart-stopping, breathtaking kind of love. The kind that sweeps you off your feet with surprise trips, dances in the kitchen, and long nights spent just talking. It's a song about feeling foolishly in love, yet so alive - ecstatic, euphoric. 'Burn' is about seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.
​
#1 Unstoppable - the 1st chapter - is a reflection of those long, sleepless nights and the times when everything just feels too much. It's about those moments when you feel small and insignificant, and you're struggling to find your place in this world. But it's also about finding that inner strength, that spark that says, 'I can get through this.' It's for every time I've stumbled, for every fall that's made me who I am. This song is a reminder that no matter how tough it gets, we have the power to keep going.
