On her latest single ‘Gone To Bed’, colby! looks to dive deep into the complexities of a relationship where fear and hesitation overshadow true feelings. The song tells the story of two people who, despite their affection for one another, hold back from fully expressing themselves, caught in a web of uncertainty and self-doubt. Their reluctance to communicate and their belief that the other deserves better lead to a constant state of confusion and regret. The result is a poignant exploration of what happens when love is stifled by insecurity, leaving both parties longing for what could have been if only they had opened up.
