There are two versions of this song, a "dark" and a "light. The opening of the story would begin with the "dark" version of the song. The tone hinting at the potentially painful aspect of love. Being hurt, betrayal, distrust, and heartbreak. It reflects Robin's mental state, having been pushed to an emotional breaking point.
