My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

"Mr. Palmer, I know you came here looking for something that might stop me from seeing my daughter. But I can assure you if there's one thing I've always been, it's stubborn. I didn't even listen to my own parents—at least not until they finally found a way to tie me down...

And trust me what you're living through now will seem like heaven compared to what I'll bring down on you.
