It Took Time To Really Build Myself

When I'm Writing Obviously I Have All The Nostalgia In The World, I Have All The Emotion In The World, But Then When I Actually Perform, I Need To Just Perform It, And That's It.

Mostly, I Just Need To Be Alone Really, Or Be With Someone Who Can Bring That Out Of Me.
