"I turn my heartache into harmonies and I find solace in the process."
- Bridget
"Without being too melodramatic, this song is about that ache you sometimes feel at the end of the night as you close the door of your apartment."
- Bridget
"I wrote the lyrics of the chorus on the weekend I turned 23, when I came to realise the heaviness that came with adulthood. The mistakes we make, the love we feel, the people we spend tIme with, they are all born from minuscule decisions that form us as people and create our futures. That’s so much to handle without some sort of IKEA handbook to follow, let alone a person. It’s so much and it’s so lonely. "
