Another mixtape drudged up. I remember I took the title from an incident where I was about to leave Gothenburg and a girl who had been the light of my social life, upon learning of my impending departure, gave me the cold shoulder. I looked back upon the event and thought that she may have been wise to have shut me out. It was a cleaner break to a situation that had no hope of existing outside that particular time and place. Another meaning to the term, "tough love". Haha.
Anyhow...
