I want you by my side, but I don’t know how to make you stay.

It’s a song whose appeal lies in lyrics that directly convey the frustrating emotions of a girl who feels that way.

The words that keep questioning a lost past are so heartbreaking and constricting.

I recommend it: her expressions as she sings, tormented by memories that still linger deep in her heart, are truly beautiful.
