The first refrain of the chorus is packed with disbelief and a touch of dismay. As the vocals progress, the emotions take a turn and the first touches of anger hit. This flows into a push as her vocals rise in power and the horns burst from the melody. The chorus changes from disbelief to anger at the person and the first steps of learning how to move forward.
