I can't redo the finished track but here are the English lyrics: It hurts but you know it
hold my sad face
lost
but you caused it
You squeeze my heart
and then leave me alone
Can I forgive you? Can I forgive you? You And should I? And should I? Forget (All vibrato show off)

I truly think he deserves the Oscar simply because of the dedication and hard work he put into this role. It definitely needs to be acknowledged.
@perinogirls
Agreed! The work alone!
@sheinz6119
Incredible month after month work ethic before during and now after heโs working constantly showing people just how hard he works. I believe heโs the real deal, hope the promotion efforts are not part of the Snowmanโs Union. That would break a lot of hearts and cause a lot of backlash. Hope to see Austin in many new projects that have meaning and quality! Oscar, Oscar, Oscar! We believe in you!
