Songfacts®:

  • Written by lead singer Alex Band and guitarist Aaron Kamin, Band says, "It's a song about parents not understanding you and it doesn't matter how many years go by or how close you are to them, they will never understand." Band has talked about being neglected by his parents while he was growing up and how he can't go to them for help even after all these years because nothing's changed at all. >>
