1
Apparently, my heart doesn’t hold anyone’s shape other than yours Every night I lie awake, wondering and thinking about no one else but you So there is no need to say more, love can’t be described in such few words
2
Try so hard that I turn numb… Ugh, head aching so bad! Waiting in front of your door from morning until noon, then night, just like a curtain Against the sun or the wind, I won’t care as long as you’re smiling, not sad
3
I just need to see you smile and the sky will be harmoniously blue Only that, and I feel happier than receiving a gift And next step, I’ll be moving a bit closer Finally, that day came unexpectedly
4
I’ll never let this god-sent blessing slip away from my hands It’s no longer time to hesitate, go and get her Trying my best to not let you doubt even for one second
5
Standing next to you, I feel so thrilled that my heart skips a beat I swear I will definitely never forget this day You, yes, you, only care for you
6
Always only follow you Always only fall for you Always only loving you Thus, I will plead to die for the one I love So many things still linger
7
Give you all the love I carry my whole life Don’t hurt my heart Thus, I will plead to die for the one I love
8
So many things still linger Give you all the love I carry my whole life Don’t hurt my heart
9
Casually falling into That sweet smile of your I swear I have no idea how to get out of it Choosing a greeting Has to be super cool Don’t know why only silly lines come out today Come closer so I can gaze at you for a few minutes, drunk in this heavenly dream
10
Forget the world Blend in with the moon and stars, drift away endlessly That’s a lot of talking It’s getting lengthy And here it goes Round and round again Embarrassed again Hurry, it’s night already Just say it: “The only thing I need in my life is you”
11
Hide all my longing deep in the lyrics Followed with silly and fragmentary verses To write the story of us on a day not too far from now, the day we share a home together Finally, that day came unexpectedly
12
I’ll never let this god-sent blessing slip away from my hands It’s no longer time to hesitate, go and get her Trying my best to not let you doubt even for one second
13
Standing next to you, I feel so thrilled that my heart skips a beat I swear I will definitely never forget this day You, yes, you, only care for you
14
Always only follow you Always only fall for you Always only loving you Thus, I will plead to die for the one I love So many things still linger
15
Give you all the love I carry my whole life Don’t hurt my heart Thus, I will plead to die for the one I love
16
So many things still linger Give you all the love I carry my whole life Don’t hurt my heart
17
Thus, I will plead to die for the one I love So many things still linger Give you all the love I carry my whole life
18
Don’t hurt my heart Thus, I will plead to die for the one I love So many things still linger
19
Give you all the love I carry my whole life Don’t hurt my heart La la la la, la la la la la la la
20
La la la la, la la la la la la la Don’t hurt my heart One more time (x3)
21
La la la la, la la la la la la la (Son Tung M-TP) La la la la, la la la la la la la

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
