Your first love is totally wrong for you. Do you follow your heart? Or do you run away?JuniceWhat am I doing? Hell take one quick lookAnd wish he was anywhere else but hereIm already ashamed of what I thinkHe will think of me, of the life I leadDamien Yes, she is the fruit that willSustain me and yes, she bringsA rain that I know can chillBut it is a rain so sweet and singsA song my soul insistsThat I follow, if I would existAs more than I have ever, ever beenIf my mother calls it evil, then I embrace the sin
