Story behind the song
*WARNING*
If you would rather enjoy this piece of art and have it come to mean something truly unique to you, do not read the backstory. Just as the band “Aerosmith” once criticized the music video industry of robbing fans from having their own visions of imagery associated to a song and supplanting it with some “official” footage, so too can knowing a songs backstory potentially come to rob it of having some special place and meaning for you.
Or both can exist. It’s all really subjective. Proceed with understanding.
Thank you,

The Official Backstory
This was a song about someone I thought, for a while there, might be someone that I potentially let go of all things in my past and move on fresh with. On that note, I will confirm that this is not a "Jade song".
There were complications. Some of these "complications" were not their fault, and I had a lot of compassion for it. However, I have no such compassion for cheating.
Writing this was very awkward as I was no longer in the relationship this song concerns, and in another one. The one I was in, they thought it was about them and really liked it. I let them think that without correcting them.
At any rate, this was about letting someone go, moving on, meaning them no harm, and still seeing a lot of good in them despite no longer being willing to be with them ever again.

My one redeeming virtue
Is that I never meant to hurt you
Ya ya
My one redeeming virtue
Is that I never meant to hurt you
Ya ya
So I pick up all the pieces and try to start again
They're all hidden underneath the veils
But if they're pieces of delusion of something that never ends
Well they're better off broke if it only fails
My one remaining virtue
Is that I never meant to hurt you
Ya ya
My one remaining virtue
Is that I never meant to hurt you
Ya ya
So I picked up all the pieces trying to start again
But this time there was nothing left behind the veils
A fact that seemed so obvious
I guess its not for all of us
Don't get hung up or you'll get de-railed
Reaching out
Lust about
The beautiful
You're so beautiful
Reaching out
Lust about
The beautiful
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
So Beautiful
It kills me
It kills me
It kills me
It kills me
So Beautiful
It kills me
It kills me
So I pick up all the pieces and try to start again
They're all hidden underneath the veils
But if they're pieces of delusion of something that never ends
Well they're better off broke if it only fails
My one remaining virtue
Is that I never meant to hurt you
Ya ya...
