"Stand in the middle."

"There is no middle, there's six of us." I point out.

"Okay, stand in one of the two spots in the middle." I do as David says and stand next to Corbyn in the middle. The order is Jack, Zach, me, Corbyn, Daniel, then Jonah. We stand in a line, facing the camera for the song. Daniel holds his guitar and begins to play the beginning.

The boys thought it would be a good idea to put out a new cover. Both to sort of let the fans know Aaron and I are done, and also so they could stop asking for new music. I asked if they wanted to do a mashup but David thought a simple cover would be nice and we're going to post it to YouTube tomorrow. My thoughts drown out when I realize I need to start soon and I take a deep breath.

"I've been waiting for the day you say you want me back

I've been alone but baby I can't seem to understand

You threw my heart into the flames, I took our pictures out the frames

I tried to throw 'em out but I still keep 'em just in case

If you're wondering if I still love you after so much time has passed

Since you asked...

I don't really want you back

I just want the life we had

I don't really want you back

No I don't

No I don't really want you close

I just needed you to know

That I don't really want you back

No I don't." I start off and the boys finally join in.

"And I remember all the times you said you had her back."

"But now you're separated going down your separate paths." Corbyn starts off and Jack quickly takes over.

"You threw her heart into the flames, she took your pictures out the frame." Zach makes a broken heart motion with his hands as he sings and then Daniel starts.

"I tried to throw 'em out but she still keeps 'em just in case." He sings.

"If you're wondering if she still loves you after so much time away." Jonah joins.

"Here's what she says..." They all sing together and I take a deep breath.

"I don't really want you back

I just want the life we had

I don't really want you back

No I don't, I don't."

"And I don't really want you close

I just needed you to know

That I don't really want you back

No I don't." Jack sings. In most lines, you can hear the others echoing the words softly.

"But I just wanna let you go

I just wanna let you go

Oh, I just wanna let you go

Yeah, I just wanna let you go."

"I don't really want you back

I just want the life we had

I don't really want you back." We all sing together in harmony.

"No I don't, oh." I take my solo and I feel my eyes burn, signaling tears. I do my best to hold them back and take another deep breath.

"And I don't really want you close

I just needed you to know

That I don't really want you back

No I don't." Corbyn sings.

"But I just wanna let you go

I just wanna let you go

Oh, I just wanna let you go

Yeah, I just wanna let you go." Instead of the last 'no I don't.' I hum in the same notes as the words and we end the song, looking back at the camera.
