upfront
cuz i promise girl
Im so lost girl without you
Im rapped up in pain
Im going insane, without you
I dont know my name
Its just not the same without you
Please forgive me, for all the wrongs Ive done
Saying sorry, girl, is never fun
So many things I need to say to U,
well here is where I will start from
Im so (so) lost girl without you
Im rapped up in pain
Im going insane, without you
