[English]

[music]

[music]

I hope you're doing fine.

I know [music] we have our problems, but

never mind. I just want to say that that

I'm sorry [music] after all this time. I

know things change, but every single

song still feels [music] like you. I

never knew pain until the day I didn't

look back when I left you. [music] And I

know I know I know that you don't want

to hear it,

[music]

but you know, you know, you know, you

know, you know

that the best times in my life [music]

were the ones I [music] had you.

I had to bury them inside.

[music]

You can't make through.

[music]

I hope you're doing fine.

I know we had our problems, but

whatever. I've been broken for some time

now, and [music] I'm just pulling myself

back together. I got rid of everything

that smells like [music] you.

So I can spend time thinking about

somebody other than [music] you.

And I know I know I know that you don't

want to hear it. [music]

[singing]

But you know, you know, you know, you

know, you know

the best times of my [music] life.

[music]

>> [music]

>> to get me through.

Get me through the [music] best times of

my life.

[music] On with you.

[music]

>> [music]

>> I hope [music] you

find the way you hold all my best times

without you. I'm lying to myself saying

that [music] you'll come [singing] find

me. I hope you

find [music] you hold on my best time

[singing]

without you. I'm lying to myself saying

that [music] you'll come find me.
