🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Gets me frustrated
  • Life's like this, you
  • You fall, and you crawl, and you break
  • And you take what you get, and you turn it into

Echo the hook

  • No, no, no (no, no)
  • No, no, no (no, no)
  • No, no, no (no, no)
  • No, no, no (no, no)
you'reelsesomebody
