This dark love ballad finds Davey Havok unleashing some inner angst as he proclaims to an ex lover: "I faced destruction and you just killed me and walked away I gave my heart to the cruel now it will not beat again I hope you do I hope you suffer I hope you do Just like I suffered." The song also contains a melodic breakdown in which Havok exercises some demons.
Guitarist Jake Puget came to Havok with the majority of the body of the song's music written. The vocalist recalled to Loudwire: "He came and sat down with me and I read the top line to the verse and we just weren't happy with the chorus and we kept putting it aside and coming back to it and altering the chorus. Jade would go home sometimes and three weeks later he'd come back and be like, 'Oh, I worked on the chorus again' and there's almost this new part and we ended up where we were at but it took us awhile for us to realize that."
The cinematic video was directed by Surround and shot in black and white with gray tones. The clip took just one day to film, and was shot at Highland Park, Los Angeles.
