[English]
[Applause] so [Music]so
a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard handful of complaints but
i can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars
what i want you to want what i want you to feel but it's like no matter what i do i can't
convince you to just believe this is real so let go watching you turn your back like you always do
face away and pretend that i'm not but i'll be here cause you're all that i got
a little bit insecure a little unconfident cause you don't understand or do what i can but
sometimes i don't make sense which you never wanna say but i've never had a doubt it's like no matter
what i do i can't convince you for once just to hear me out so let go watching you turn your back
like you always do face away and pretend that i'm not but i'll be here cause you're all that god
don't turn your back on me i won't [Applause]
don't
i won't be ignorant
don't turn your back on me
