[English]

[music]

[music]

I've been talking to the ceiling again,

hoping it might say [music] something

back. [singing]

My phone lights up [music] and nobody

stays. Most people only call when they

say [music]

and I [music] keep trying to play it

cool.

But I'm done pretending. [singing] I'm

not losing it. [music]

I don't want to die alone. [music]

>> [music]

>> I don't want to die alone.

[music] Some drink.

Unless I [singing] swear I'm doing fine.

[music]

Everywhere the same

is trying way too hard to lie.

I keep saying I'll [music] be okay,

but I don't believe

[music]

[music]

I don't want to die alone.

I fall [music]

aart. Would you hold the pieces? If I

lose my voice, [singing] would you even

listen? I'm not asking for forever.

Just someone [singing] who won't

disappear.

[music]

I don't want to die alone.

Go. Stay with me until the morning.

Give me something.

I DON'T WANT

NO, I don't want to die alone.

[music]

[singing]

Oh.

[music]
