[English]

Where’s the photo of you two - with a long caption

Where’s his name in your bio next to a heart

Did something happen - tell me how you’re doing

You know I’m always here - if you need to vent

My shoulder is all yours whenever you want to cry

It’s a shame you guys ended - I thought it would last forever

I’m sad about this - listen to the rocket’s sound

It’s a shame you guys ended - I thought it would last forever

I’m sad about this - listen to the rocket’s sound

Hear the rocket’s noise now

Did something happen - tell me how you’re doing

You know I’m always here - if you need to vent

My shoulder is all yours whenever you want to cry

It’s a shame you guys ended - I thought it would last forever

I’m sad about this - listen to the rocket’s sound

It’s a shame you guys ended - I thought it would last forever

I’m sad about this - listen to the rocket’s sound

It’s a shame you guys ended - I thought it would last forever

I’m sad about this - listen to the rocket’s sound

Cadê a foto de vocês Com a legenda de textão

Cadê o nome dele na sua bio do lado de um coração

Aconteceu alguma coisa Me diz como é que você tá

Ce sabe que eu tô sempre aqui Se precisar desabafar

Meu ombro é todo seu quando quiser chorar

Que pena que ceis terminaram Achei que ia durar pra sempre

Tô triste com um negócio desses Escuta aí o barulho do foguete

Que pena que ceis terminaram Achei que ia durar pra sempre

Tô triste com um negócio desses Escuta aí o barulho do foguete

Escuta o barulho do foguete aí

Aconteceu alguma coisa Me diz como é que você tá

Meu ombro é todo seu quando quiser chorar

Tô triste com um negócio desses Escuta aí o barulho do foguete
