Take a deep breath, the news isn't good
Hello!
Unfortunately, it involves someone else
I know you're going to judge me
It's not a man's role
To end someone's life like this over the phone
Woah, woah
Sorry if I'm being... (an idiot)
It would be worse to knock on your door
Risking not telling you...
"That what's best for me today isn't you"
And I'm just one in a million
Being a coward on a call
But I guarantee you, it wasn't your fault
The blame lies with a love that didn't happen between us...
I know you're going to judge me
It's not a man's role
To end someone's life like this over the phone
Woah, woah
Sorry if I'm being an idiot
It would be worse to knock on your door
Risking not telling you...
"That what's best for me today isn't you"
And I'm just one in a million
Being a coward on a call
But I guarantee you, it wasn't your fault
The blame lies with a love that between us...
Sorry if I'm being an idiot
It would be worse to knock on your door
Risking not telling you:
"That what's best for me today isn't..."
And I'm just one in a million
Being a coward on a call
But I guarantee you, it wasn't your fault
The blame lies with a love that didn't happen between us...
Hello, A...
