🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
  • I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
  • The vacancy that sat in my heart
  • Is a space that now you hold

Echo the hook

  • I couldn't get any bigger (oh-oh)
  • With anyone else beside me (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
  • And now it's clear as this promise
  • That we're makin'
