My love, if I had to pay a fine, I would have already auctioned off my organs, no matter what it cost to get out. But unfortunately that is not the case. When you’re young and you still don’t know much, you have to be very careful about the things you sign… if you can’t spend a lifetime paying for the mistake

Since The Powerful Show [seu primeiro hit, em 2013] I’m begging you to support me, and nothing. If it gets worse, at least I won’t pretend everything is fine anymore, because I’ve already exhausted my strength.”
OR Stadium contacted Warner Music, but the company chose not to comment on the matter.
It’s not even guts…it’s just that it’s all so crap that it doesn’t get any worse than it is. From the mighty show begging to hold me up and nothing. If it gets worse, at least I won’t be pretending everything is fine anymore because I’ve already exhausted my strength
