Me 2
\\"me 2\\" is about love. But unlike any other love song, this talks about a person who admits that they are at fault for why things had gone downhill in their relationship. Sometimes, we think that it\\'s always the other party who is to blame; we forget that it\\'s \\"me 2\\" who contributed fuel to the fire. | Songwriters: Yumi Morales
