This the first serious interview by lewis that ive watch 😂😂😂

[@JokkePlays]

Jesus his voice is insane

[@paigens0725]

My boyfriend broke up with me because he thought we’d be better as friends, mind you I knew him for 4 years. We haven’t had a real conversation in over a year. We share mutual friends and one of those ended up becoming his now girlfriend…super awkward.

[@isabellataylorsversion]

you deserve better baby. just know that you’re probably choosing not to date people but just know other people think your attractive and he’ll always be jealous of that.

[@itssonam6538]

I guess that happened because someone better is yet to come and rock your world ❤❤❤

[@chelseasix9150]

I hope he is doing okay.

[@ProtectNacer]

Might be the best vocalist in the world

[@guadialvarez9356]

[@user-ww5yo2vn1h]

We want his fit with Ed Sheeran so much

[@mauricettenaud1084]

❤

[@devonbouchard8943]

Why aren’t more people talking about the inteo

[@lorrainedevlin6409]

Why does it take us so long to get over people who never really loved us anyway. I say the quicker we get over them and move on the better. Ye Lewis,but crying too much is not good.I say be careful with the self loathing,cos it makes you blame everything wrong in a relationship on you. I used to do that,but no more.I agree its hard to be just friends with someone you had an intimate relationship with,thats true,but if that person did you wrong,its easier to forget them. I am at that stage now. I knew that verse was self loathing,before you tols me Lewis.

[@IronyAmI]

Day 234 of requesting a deconstructed on Megalovania. Whoever ends up finally making that, I wish them the best.

[@galxcy_gaming3208]

My mans like "Autotune is over rated"

[@dogarecute6677]

0:04 what did he say?

[@TheOfficialYA]

😢❤️👊🏾💯

[@kashkash2730]

This guy is the greatest 🤣🤣

[@lorrainedevlin6409]

My self loathing and thinking I was the one always to blame came from being the child scapegoat,people some see that in you,as you get older and use it to their advantage,so now,like hell do I take the blame for stuff I did not do.

[@lorrainedevlin6409]

Told us 😂 lol just saying ❤❤❤,my psychology studies serve me well,anyway its a fab song.

[@floofy_8521]

His voice is everything, you can tell he doesn’t use autotune

[@ELITE__1]

He’s the best

[@tangoprincess7806]

🧡💛💚💙💜

[@dreamymimiasmr8848]

[@redkingwyn6221]
