actually, i think the writer isn't necessarily wrong. he says:
"The song's sorrowful overtones and profound message were likely influenced by the loss of writer/guitarist Mark Tremonti's mother (she died in 2002), since a tune is dedicated to her on the band's self-titled debut."
Now, to me, that's not necessarily stating that the song is specifically about his mother. Additionally, he says "since a tune is dedicated to her..." and not "since thistune...." So it's possible that, in my interpretation anyways, that a song can have sorrowful overtones stemming from something tragic, but not necessarily be directly written about that incident.
