Niki used to be our little secret but look at her now. She deserves all the best things in life.

[@jazminmarcial1710]

[@annisar3741]

she deserved it :(

[@loiseopiana645]

yaaaaas❣️😩

[@rantimarrindrarazs9562]

HUEEEEEE THAT IS SO TRUE, i don't know whether to be sad or happy about it

[@draidah7567]

I remembering listening to her on youtube and people used to say "who?" and now they come to me saying, "have you listen to Niki's new album?" Oh I am so proud of Niki.

[@outsiderofinsidejoke]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE ALBUM

[@vickiecai]

Same🥲😭

[@devaldyjonathan]

mine too ong

[@humaswanareja9445]

i could'n agree more

[@charenzafirman9502]

for me too

[@jmuziks9688]

Same

[@epiphemius6741]

"maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time..." The tiny hope that glimmers from this line is the hope that I unswervingly cling to. I don't know how much more time you need in order for you to realize that we deserve another chance, but I'm willing to wait for a lifetime just to be with you again someday. Do know that it's still you that I long for so much that's why I don't mind being your backburner :'))

[@jameschen2308]

Damn 😭

[@Josmelody-zt8oo]

😭😭

[@louise-rr7cw]

:((

[@gabriella8463]

[@jan.993]

The original version is already fucking good , and this one. I just can't say anything

[@hadindaam]

[@amexlifeangel]

[@Rifaiyusuff]

Lyrics: I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling And for once, I don't care about what you want As long as we keep talking (as long as we're talking) I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that Well, whether we're free of will or predestined Clearly, I've not learned my lesson even now Hope He doesn't strike me down (strike me down) The Goo-Goo Dolls are dead to me The way you should bе, too But you bring them up Along with how much I fu-- miss you Maybe I'm just not bettеr than this, I haven't tried Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die You'd think I'd be a fast learner But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner Backburner Your backburner Your backburner Your backburner It's pathetic, but at least you are, too I don't know what to do I don't like anyone except sometimes you And now you're sounding like a hurt puppy You look ugly when you cry But I'm the one you think to call How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time? After everything you put me through I somehow still believe in you, Oh-Oh! But I know in a week or so You'll fade away again And I wish that I cared Hey! Are you still there? Good Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried 'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time I thought I was a fast learner But guess I won't ever mind, guess I won't ever mind Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes (It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner 'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin' on your backburner, Oh-Oh! (Backburner, your backburner) And I know that it's sad that I settle for the backburner, Oh-Oh! (Your backburner, your backburner) (Your backburner, your backburner) Guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner, Oh-Oh! (Your backburner, your backburner) (Backburner, your backburner) As long as you still think of me, Oh! Oh-Oh! (Backburner, backburner)

[@HanifSulthoni]
