(A/N: Since I'm part Japanese, this is the language you're singing his song in)

Your POV
I've just finished listening to Illuminate and I gotta say, I'm pretty proud of what my boyfriend, Shawn, had accomplished since he first started making vines. I decided to try singing one of his songs, considering the fact that he's never heard me sing his songs. I grabber his guitar and began to strum to Stitches. I learned to play guitar through him, of course, but as well as music lessons in school. 

I thought that I've been hurt before...
But no-one's ever left me...quite..this...

Okay, English isn't really my first language, and it's obvious that I've never actually tried singing his songs. This is actually more difficult than I think. I started again.

Your words cut deeper than a knife....
Now I need someone to...

I stuttered and messed up again. I took a deep sigh and decided this isn't gonna work. Shawn's in the shower and he's probably gonna be laughing at me struggle to sing one of his favourite hits. Nevertheless, I decided to sing in Japanese instead. I can't sing his songs in English, it's kinda fast. Plus, it'd be nice to try and see what it sounds like if I try it in Japanese.

I strummed again and thought of words that go with the beat and lyrics of his version.

心深くまで [Kokoro fukaku made]
突き刺すナイフのような [Tsuki-sasu naifu no you na]
意識を失っていく [Anata no kotoba de]
僕は息が苦しくて [Aoku ga iki ga kurushikute]

This is actually turning out pretty good, Shawn should really consider trying to sing in another language. Fans would actually melt and die for him even more!

Shawn's POV
I hopped out of the shower to hear a faint singing voice. Must be my sweetheart, Y/N. I changed into clothes and went to the living room where she was singing Stitches...in her own language?

君がつけた傷に [Kimi ga tsuketa kizu ni]
震え崩れ落ちて [Furue kuzure-ochite]
君のキスもなく [Kimi no kisu mo nakute]
て 挫けそうさ  [Kujikesou sa]

My heart melted. Her singing my songs makes my heart warm, but her singing it in her own language really made me smile. I didn't wanna distract her, so I just stood behind her until she got to the last chorus.

君がつけた傷に [Kimi ga tsuketa kizu ni]
震え崩れ落ちて [Furue kuzure-ochite]
君のキスもなく [Kimi no kisu mo nakute]
て 挫けそうさ [Kujikesou sa]

"You watch me bleed until I can't breathe, shaking, falling onto my knees..." I sang the next line and Y/N turns around shocked. 

"Hey! Why'd you stop?" I whined.

"You know how bad I sounded? And you don't even understand it!" She argued, but I grin back widely.

"Sweetheart, you sounded so beautiful. Especially when you sing it in your own mother tongue. You should really teach me how to sing in Japanese! Fans in Japan would like that so much!" I went up to her and pulled her in for a hug, kissing her forehead and resting my chin on top of her head.

"I'd love to, babe." She replies and tucks her head onto my chest. I held her for another few minutes before sharing a kiss with her.
