"...There’s a reason why I can’t love,
a reason why I’m still single...

a reason why I go out alone..."
The message at the end of the song changes; they realize that love is not in the superficial things and money, but what is in the heart.
"...Honestly, what more do I need?
What’s important in love?
I just need you to only look at me,
only love me, only cherish me..."
