Hold on, hold on
Verse 2:
I told him I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart, then won't you tell her I'm sorry
And for once in my life I'm alone
And I gotta let her know
Just in time before I go
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
Well, I laughed but that didn't hurt
And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt
Now I'm crying, but deep down inside
Well, I did it to him
Now it's my turn to die
[repeat chorus]
