Open your mouth, listening to love songs can satisfy a moment of imagination

A thousand sentences, my dear, I'm afraid time is up, no fate, and we meet again
Praying to turn back is too difficult, how can I sing for one more night
Actually, after the breakup, this day has already become indifferent
