<P> Jeffrey Steele co-wrote the song with Steve Robson , with whom he also co-wrote Rascal Flatts ' 2002 single `` These Days '' . Robson presented Steele with an unfinished track , and Steele decided to come up with lyrics to finish the track . Originally , he had wanted to write a song about the loss of his father , but instead went with a more universal theme of lost love . After singing the lyrics , he decided that he liked how sad the song sounded , when Robson suggested that it be recorded in a higher key to sound more emotional . </P>
