Last 25th November the singer declared his love to a woman who married him on the 26th. He promises
himself that this year he will fall in love with someone who hates him back. However, despite this
promise his ex still catches his attention but unsurprisingly she recognises him. He knows if she made
advances now he would try to kill her again so he tries to find her in the crowd. He knows that she used
him for financial support last year and he was happy to help. However at the end he knows he has lost a
true love this year and can be fooled by her again.
