THE STORY
MARISSA
The End
#9 Sparrow - the 9th chapter - is the song I wrote sitting on my bedroom floor at 3 AM, replaying every conversation, wondering where we went wrong, and the mornings I woke up reaching for someone who wasn't there anymore. It's about the rage that sinks in and the bittersweet pain of letting go of a person you thought was your forever. 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 - however, when everything is falling apart, we tend to remember the good and crippling doubt sinks in. Have I lost the best I ever had? And, even though I was right in front of the door, my hand on the handle, I was unable to leave. Because of all that we had. Until ... I finally left.
#6 Woods - the 6th chapter - is when it starts to look somewhat scary. It’s for those moments when you're drawn deeper into something you know isn’t good for you, yet you can’t resist. It’s about getting lost in the chaos, where you see both the thrill and the danger, knowing full well that it might end up hurting you but being unable to pull yourself away.
#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 about those moments when you keep reassuring yourself and everyone else that "It will get better," only to face disappointment time and time again.

The Beginning
#3 Pieces - the 3rd chapter - however, if something burns too bright, it might leave a scar. This song captures the warning signs that something isn't right. This song is about seeing the red flags - the distance in his eyes, the rush in his steps, and poisonous remarks - 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.
​
#2 Burn - the 2nd chapter - captures a part of my life filled with joy. 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 - this chapter was written when I felt small and insignificant, struggling to find my place in this world. It's for every time I've stumbled, for every fall that's made me who I am. It kept me going and it keeps to do so.
