ROMANTIC SONG... THE REASON

 THe group Hoobastank were quite popular some years ago, however, we can also say they were a one hit wonder, because it is difficult to remember more songs released by them.

Anyway, this song is really romantic and beautiful and it talks about a person reagretting something from the past. 

So, I strongly recommend to you to listen to it, it is worthwhile!!!
