🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • What about us?
  • What about all the times you said you had the answers?
  • What about us?
  • What about all the broken happy ever afters?

Echo the hook

  • Oh, what about us?
  • What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
  • Oh, what about love? What about trust?
  • What about us?
