You were wearing some dark jeans, red shirt, black leather jacket and some black combat boots. You had your guitar on your back. You walk out and let out a sigh. You against the mic, that was now placed on a mic stand.

"You know, I just want to take a second to thank you all for your love and support. I didn't really have that kind of support growing up with my toxic father but I am grateful to you all for giving me that."

The crowd then cheers as you smile. You then once again see Johnny rolling piano onto the stage.

"To be honest I was scared to release these next songs because they are very personal but I'm grateful that you all liked them so how about I stop talking and we continue the show! Yeah?!?"

The audience cheers and you get a bit choked up when you hear someone scream, 'We love you'. You look back to see Johnny give you a reassuring smile and you take a deep breath in. You take a deep breath out as you move your guitar to the font.

I'm not bulletproof when it comes to you
Johnny start to play the piano

Don't know what to say when you made me the enemy
After the war is won
You start to play your guitar

There's always the next one
I'm not bulletproof when it comes to you

Maybe I'll crash into you
You start to tap your foot

Maybe we would open these wounds
We're only alive if we bruise
So I lay down this armor
You put your fist over your heart

I will surrender tonight
You go back to play the guitar

Before we both lose this fight
Take my defenses
All my defenses

I lay down this armor
The background light start to flash

I lay down this armor
I lay down this armor
The lights stop flashing and go back normal

I do what it takes to make this right
But we got to stop before the regret
After the war is won

There's always the next one
I'll do what it takes to make this right

You lower your head and shut your eyes as you just felt yourself just focusing on the music. Johnny notices you lowering your head as he looks at you as he continues to play.

Maybe I'll crash into you
Maybe we will open these wounds
We're only alive if we bruise
So I lay down this armor
I will surrender tonight
Before we both lose this fight
Take my defenses
All my defenses

You look back up at the crowd as you feel your eyes slightly water.

I lay down this armor
I lay down this armor
I lay down this armor for you

You slowly turn your head to look backstage.

I'll be you escape
I'll be your safe place
I'll be your shelter
Your shelter, yeah
You look backstage to see Nooshy and Porsha looking at you with a soft smile. You return the smile as you look away.

I'll be you escape
I'll be your safe place
I'll be your shelter
Your shelter, yeah
You look behind to see Johnny playing the piano but he turns his head to look at you. He gives you a smile as he nods his head. You smile back as you nod back.
