'Cause now again I've found myself,seeing that kinda of view.
Knowing that you will always be selfish,never felt that kind of kuwe. Hold my hand until we cross the land, until we love everybody till we fall. Take a chance to be my one and only ,forever known as my forever.Will be my one I found myself again.F****** don't don't even go home and box everything. Don't even try to find cuz I know w the truth is behind the f****** mask. By everything is going to be okay. By feeling your one of my love . Will be shining so bright, go hold that star in the sky. I'll always be the one who can't be with u.Before you left and even if I can be yours to keep but please just before everything happened ,before I was killed. While you were holding with someone else,someone else. What is my life to be with the you, to kill all of the brushes .People why do you kill them to find your one and only.I know I won't be, the one who holds peace

There are things in Doris's life, but then there are in everyone's. She opens her little mouth, She sings her little song. Like a flag it folds out across the city, and it goes: "The old man becomes an ice-skater... A maniac becomes a stepfather... I watch a policeman's mouth - out comes an honest word." Miracles happen when Doris sings. Couples in love stop dead in their tracks. Dishes clatter to the ground unbroken. Politicians die.
