"Oh, hey guys, how are you ? I missed you so much"!
"Hey dude, and we missed you too, where were you all these days"?
"Oh guys, those days were terrible! All the USA started hating to me from the day I started smoking/drinking, and my girlfriend Banthi broke up with me, but now I met a new girlfriend named Katy, but on our FIRST date, I got to jail, just for finding drugs in my car"!
"OMG, you use drugs"?!
" NO! I told you that I smoke and drink but NO DRUGS, I didn't know from where the drugs came"!
"Ok, so it seems that you are causing many problems in your life".
"Yes, and I don't know till when it will stay like that".
"Hey wait..."
"What"?
"We've got the solution for this life you're living, the solution that will bring you back the way you were and better"!
"Really"?
"Yeah, and It's a song".
"A song"?
"Yeah, a song".
But... I don't understand, why would a song change my life from bad to GREAT"?!
"Listen... we're going to write it and sing it together"!
"NEVER! The US doesn't hear a lyric I sing, they start booing at me when I sing A LETTER"!
"Don't worry nothing is going to happen to you".
"NO, is gonna happen to me! The crowd will start throwing tomatoes on me"!
"BECAUSE YOU ARE COMPLAINING, YOU'RE GOING TO SING FIRST"!
"NOOO, You're going to change my to HELLLL"!😠😠
"Oh, and he starts complaining again! We told you NOTHING IS GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TRUST US"!
"Okay, I'm in, but if something happened, I'm going to kill you both, got it"?
"Ok, you can do whatever you want".
"So, what are we going to name the song"?
"Locked Away".
"Locked Away"?
"Yeah, cool isn't it"?
"I don't know guys, why do we have to call Locked Away"?
"You'll see when we start writing the song"?
"😕".
"Come on Adam! Let's start writing the song"!

Anyway, we started writing the song:
                                     If I got Locked Away
                                    And we lost it all today
           Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same ?
