i wish that we could just talk
but i don’t really know where to start
ye you got every right to be mad
after all of the things that i said
i know i didn’t deal with things properly
but know I’m trying be the man I’m supposed to be
if i don’t then ill live in regret
cos i hate that i left you upset
threw your keys on the table
said that i was ungrateful
and i thought i was strong ohhh
i know i hurt you
never said i loved you
but ill say it now
and you should know that
I’m not gonna hold back
this time around
if you give me another chance
i won’t let you down
i know i messed up
but to tell you the truth
i was too busy hanging out with my crew
you were so cool and it aint no excuse
i shoulda spent a little time with you
instead of just playing around messing about
but i was in the drivers seat but who’s the passenger now
sat here trying figure it out
same song going round and round
threw your keys on the table
said that i was ungrateful
and i thought i was strong ohhh
i know i hurt you
never said i loved you
but ill say it now
and you should know that
I’m not gonna hold back
this time around
if you give me another chance
i won’t let you down
there are some things that we cannot change
no we can’t go back in time
but i hope that it isn’t to late
to give it another try
i know i hurt you
never said i loved you
but ill say it now
and you should know that
I’m not gonna hold back
this time around
if you give me another chance
i won’t let you down

— LYRICS:
you broke me first
maybe you don’t like talking too much about yourself
but you shoulda told me that you were thinking bout someone else
you’re drunk at a party or maybe it’s just that your car broke down
or your phone’s been off for a couple months, so you’re calling me now
i know you, you’re like this
when shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
and like me, i did
but i ran out of every reason
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
took a while, was in denial when i first heard
that you moved on quicker than i coulda ever
you know that hurt
swear for a while i would stare at my phone just to see your face
but now that it’s there, i don’t really know what to say
i know you, you’re like this
when shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
and like me, i did
but i ran out of every reason
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first
what did you think would happen?
what did you think would happen?
i’ll never let you have it
what did you think would happen?
now suddenly you’re asking for it back
could you tell me where’d you get the nerve
ya, you could say you miss all that we had
but i don’t really care how bad it hurts
when you broke me first

When we got the opportunity to do a live version of Alone, Pt. II in Napoleons castle in Château de Fontainebleau in France, no was not an option. I was as mind blown of the mesmerizing castle, as of Ava´s incredible performance. Thanks to everyone involved!
