The lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night

He said he'd love me all his life

All the piеces of me shatterеd as the crowd was chanting"More"

You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart

Crucial evidence I didn't imagine the whole thing

I'm sure I can pass this test
