A letter to my future lover. (Still single) Soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/JeffreyChang Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/JeffreyChangLyrics: I always think about what's the 1st thing that I’ll do that will break your heart, that will drift us apart Cause I’ve seen it before and their smile always seem to fade after a while Who’ll be in denial? I’ve never been good at asking for forgiveness Wonder if you’ll stay if I don’t know how to communicate Would you be able to read between the lines just by listening to my silence see what’s on my mind Forgive me If I ever hurt you Forgive me If I’m caught in a lie Forgive me If I ever hurt you Forgive me I want you by my side
