Hello, welcome to my lyric sub-section, it's so nice to see you.
Here, I have contained my lyrics to songs that I written both on my own, and with other people. Where applicable there will be links to the full songs so you can hear the melodies, but sometimes there's beauty in reading the lyrics without hearing the melodies.
In My Feels
This is a song I wrote with the wonderful Merryn Robinson.
Listen to it here.
Take a moment to break the ice
Take a second but don't ask twice
It's my life, it's your life.
Building bridges I watch them fall
Piece to piece and wall to wall
It's a perfect disaster
​
Struggling to get you off my mind, like,
Everything you said was just a lie, what,
Constantly keep saying that I'm fine.
​
Take a step back I'll be in my feels,
A little less patience till there's something real
Don't need you to talk to me, can't deal with your f*ckery tonight.
Take a step back I'll be in my feels,
A little more comfort need some time to heal,
Don't want you to talk to me can't deal with your f*ckery tonight.
​
Chose to stay when it wasn't right
I carried the weight it wasn't light,
Hold it with me til sunrise.
​
Struggling to get you off my mind, but,
Picking up the pieces everything, what,
Constantly keep saying that I'm fine.
​
Take a step back I'll be in my feels,
A little less patience till there's something real
Don't need you to talk to me, can't deal with your f*ckery tonight.
Take a step back I'll be in my feels,
A little more comfort need some time to heal,
Don't want you to talk to me can't deal with your f*ckery tonight.
​
Another page over, I've started again,
Where did the time go, we used to be friends
Now this shits over and chilveries dead
If you my mum, she'll say off with your
​
Take a step back I'll be in my feels,
A little less patience till there's something real
Don't need you to talk to me, can't deal with your f*ckery tonight.
Take a step back I'll be in my feels,
A little more comfort need some time to heal,
Don't want you to talk to me can't deal with your fuckery tonight.

Ctrl Alt Delete
A song I wrote entirely alone about control and the digital age.
Verse:
I can feel my brain, it's moving kinda slow
But I know these thoughts aren’t mine
I’m sure my battery is running low
You’re popping up red every warning sign
Verse:
I’ve got nothing left to give
You want the info of another soul
Living in a digital dystopia
where all information your is owned
Pre Chorus:
You’ve got to play on in controlled chaos
every move is planned, every move is bad
I’ve started to overheat, i’m dead beat
​
Chorus:
I’ll try something else
I’ll try something new
Control Alt Delete press undo
Control Alt Delete press undo
You’re not in control
You’re not in control of my thoughts (anymore)
Verse:
I can see the game you're playing
Think I won’t remember but i’ve got the data stored
Distorted by the mania
There's really nothing in life that you're owed
Pre Chorus:
You’ve got the motherboard on overboard
Blocking the ones that keep talking
Lost all my feeling, clear the system of the viruses
Chorus:
I’ll try something else
I’ll try something new
Control Alt Delete press undo
Control Alt Delete press undo
You’re not in control
You’re not in control of my thoughts (anymore)
Bridge:
Gonna have to reboot
Or restore to my factory settings
Cus I’m glitching
Maybe wipe my disk
I’ve had enough of this
I need more space on my drive
​
Chorus:
I’ll try something else
I’ll try something new
Control Alt Delete press undo
Control Alt Delete press undo
You’re not in control
You’re not in control of my thoughts (anymore)

Afterthought
A song written by myself, with the assistance of Merryn Robinson
Listen to it here.
Lately I just reminisce, of the laughs, how did we get like this?
I've landed inside a hurricane, how long until those winds begin again?
​
I was falling for his company, but lost inside the ivory, the white lies you told me were black.
Now I'm broken like the fire glass, surrounded by the flames and now my life is turning into ash
​
I'm over it, so over it, I was just an afterthought, you left me alone in the dark.
I'm over it, so over it, I was just an afterthought, you made me hard to love.
I'm not over it, not over it, I was just an afterthought, an afterthought, afterthought, afterthought.
I could never do it right, I was fighting with the devil in disguise.
Let's call midnight on our lives, cus I can't bear to look in your eyes.
Cut me out I'm hard to love, made me feel I'm not enough, I was blinded by neon lights.
Darkness that's surrounding you, I think you've got some screws loose, I guess I never (really) had a chance.
​
I'm over it, so over it, I was just an afterthought, you left me alone in the dark.
I'm over it, so over it, I was just an afterthought, you made me hard to love.
I'm not over it, not over it, I was just an afterthought, an afterthought, afterthought, afterthought.
​
I was just an afterthought that you never loved that you never thought about, oh,
I was just left alone to die
My sad little life that you broke
From me
Now I can't speak
No, no, no, no
​
I'm over it, so over it, I was just an afterthought, you left me alone in the dark.
I'm over it, so over it, I was just an afterthought, you made me hard to love.
I'm not over it, not over it, I was just an afterthought, an afterthought, afterthought, afterthought.
​
Now I just want to go home.
Too Late
A song I wrote entirely alone.
Verse:
I’ve been waiting for this night, for quite some time
Just a chance to see your face again
My hands all start to tremble, I just hear the treble
where the bass thats your voice
Well you
Pre Chorus:
Tap me on my shoulder,
You hug me like just another
One of your friends
Playing with my hair
But i don't think that you care
That i’m so damn into you
​
Chorus:
Am i too late?
Is this not fate?
Holding onto hope for some time
Is it too late?
Did I overestimate?
well i’ve just gotta get you off my mind
I know you can see me cus I'm stood right next to you
I can barely hear you two flirting
Over the sound of my booming heart
Sometimes I catch myself staring at your baggy trousers and messy hair
Been trying so hard just to get you to see
Been trying not to be so obviously keen
Chorus:
Am I too late?
Is this not fate?
Been holding onto hope for sometime
Is it too late?
Are we at checkmate?
Now i’ve just gotta get you off my mind
​
Bridge:
But you’re looking so lit
In your clothes that don’t fit and
Some worn out reeboks that say
I don’t give a god damn shit cus
I’m living my best life
I just want you here at night
so what if i like all your posts?
will you cook me toast
in the morning while we watch the sunrise
​
waiting for the universe to speak
tell myself I’ve got to give it time
​
Chorus:
Am I too late?
Is this not fate?
Been holding onto hope for sometime
Is it too late?
Did I overestimate?
Now i’ve just gotta get you off my mind
Am I too late?
Is this not fate?
Guess I'll call checkmate
​
Am I too late?
Is this not fate?
​
Sweet Tooth
A song I wrote with Merryn Robinson.
Listen to it here.
I drew a smile upon my face,
Won’t please you anyway, anyway
I got a sweet tooth for this pain,
I can’t get away get away.
​
Always in your company
you are like a drug to me
you’re about to make me sick.
Praying for humanity
Loosing all my sanity
Take something good to make me stick
​
So if you want I’ll leave
Take some time for me
Don’t need you to say please
Tomorrow you will see,
No more disappointing you
think that maybe we are through
plastic lies you say to me,
If you want I’ll leave
​
Why did we paint our perfect place?
you had a game to play, game to play
but it’ll taint your perfect face
Just wanna stay away, stay away,
​
Was always in your company,
you were like a drug to me,
but you’d just like to make me sick.
Praying for humanity,
loosing all my sanity,
Now I’m just trying to leave real quick.
​
So if you want I’ll leave,
Take some time for me,
Don’t need you to say please,
Tomorrow you will see.
No more disappointing you
Think that maybe we are through,
Plastic lies you say to me.
If you want I’ll leave
​
Now I’d like you to leave,
and take your shit, I’m clean
Not going to say please,
Tomorrow you will see,
I'm not disappointing you,
I now know that we are through,
Plastic lies you'd say to me,
I'd like you to leave, please leave.

Overload
Lyrics which I wrote alone using the metaphor of technology.
We started so big just as things got going
this little decade ago
Didn’t think where we wanted to go or how to get there alone
Wires started to cross not long ago
Red over blue, me over you
Don't cut the red oh I said, don’t touch it again
Sparks are flying everywhere
My systems gonna blow
The fire begins to go
As you put on your show
Ready to overload
Got our love on overload
Now I’m on overload
Together we’ve overloaded the circuit
What a short circuit
A short circuit
Our short circuit on overload
​
This circuits not big enough
To maintain my robot brain
No energy or battery
Emotions on repeat
I’ve seen the screws come loose
Now the whole grids gotta change
You started off the chain
The reaction won’t be the same
Ready to overload
Got our love on overload
Now I’m on overload
Together we’ve overloaded the circuit
What a short circuit
A short circuit
Our short circuit on overload
​
Never Forget the Girl
A song I wrote entirely alone about loosing yourself after a hard time.
Verse:
Hey, could you please help?
I can’t seem to find her anywhere
I’ve looked across the moors and
I’ve looked in all those closed doors
She’s not where I left her
She’s not where we discussed
Said we’d meet on the other side
Where the grass got greener
Without the bitter-sweetness
Leaving all those bitches behind
​
Pre-Chorus:
I’ve been treated so wrong for so long by all the bad ones
I just kept playing miss nice til i had no more time left
Trying to make it on my own, trying to regain my soul
Someone who was happy in her skin, content with life and ready to fight
Chorus:
Never forget the girl that was before
Never forget the one I lost
Never forget her she’ll be back
Just wanna feel myself again
Just wanna be myself again
​
Verse:
I don’t even recognise myself anymore
I don't know how to be myself
There’s nothing you can do
But please will someone, anyone help
I’ve not seen her for a while
Where’ve you been? where’d you go?
There’s no time for this now
Gotta go for broke, it’s all we’ve got left in the end
Pre-chorus:
My mum would always say ‘live with your Neighbours you get like them’
I lived with you for too long now i can’t seem to shake it off
Trying to fix it on my own, but it’s not quite working,
In fact, i think i might be worse and i can’t find the undo
Chorus:
Never forget the girl that was before
Never forget the one I lost
Never forget her she’ll be back
Just wanna feel myself again
Just wanna be myself again
Bridge:
Got broken one too many times
I guess i didn’t quite heal right
Told who i was, told who i wasn’t,
By people who only chose
Not anymore
You’re not defining me
Anymore
​
Turned me
Green with envy
Red with rage
Blue with the sadness of this day
Where we have to say goodbye
​
Chorus:
Never forget the girl that was before
Never forget the one I lost
Never forget her she’ll be back
Just wanna feel myself again
Just wanna be myself again
Anybody Else But You
A song I wrote entirely alone about choosing the wrong people.
Listen to a demo of it here.
Verse:
Sometimes I get frustrated with myself
I’m sorry i don’t mean to take it out on you
You knew I was falling but you didn’t care to catch me
Only sat and watch me as i’m breaking
Pre-Chorus:
And you know I’ve been thinking about
Thinking about those times we’d
I’ve got to tell myself not to care
Not to care cus i know you don’t care
​
Gave you my all, and i could’ve loved anybody else but you
​
Chorus:
Yeah
It could’ve been anybody else but you you you
But I didn’t want anybody else but you you you
I only wanted you you you you
It could’ve been anybody else but you you you
Verse:
I’ve told you so many times
Don’t you dare act like you didn’t know
Pretending you don’t call every night
And I don’t pick up after every fight
Pre-Chorus:
But you just left me out
Left me out in the december rain
Why do I have to feel so
Feel so guilty I’ll plead
​
Could’ve spent these years with anybody else but you you you
Chorus:
Yeah
It could’ve been anybody else but you you you
But I didn’t want anybody else but you you you
I only wanted to be loved by you you you
It could’ve been anybody else but you you you
​
Breakdown:
Now would
You you you you
Just leave
Would
You you you you
Just go
Would
You you you
Just quite
I want anybody else but you you you you
​
Chorus:
Yeah
It could’ve been anybody else but you you you
But I didn’t want anybody else but you you you
I only wanted to be loved by you you you
It could’ve been anybody else but you you you

I've Been Told
A cute ukulele song I wrote one Sunday afternoon.
Listen to a live take of it here.
Verse:
Somebody told me
Long ago
Just be yourself
The world will adjust
Somebody told me
The world will spin
On and on
No matter what has been
I can say to you
This is all true and
Wherever you go now
There’s somebody watching over you
Chorus:
You
You
Verse:
My mother told me
Just to be true
Before you love someone else
You’ve got to love you
My grandma showed me
The sun would rise
Everyday with a smile
It's shining for you
​
Now I’m telling you
Be there for yourself
Cus nobody else will
Try not to rely
But when times are rough
It’s okay to seek help
The world is empty place
So fill it with your love
Chorus:
You
You
​
Bridge:
What’s the point in wasting all your love
If it all gets too much
The clouds start to gather
You get stuck in the loop again
Lean your head on my shoulder
I’ll take away the pain
Chorus:
I'll look after
You
You
You
You
Anything to Feel Alive
Lyrics I wrote alone about others doing anything to feel something.
Lonely to Say the Least
A song I wrote alone dedicated to all my loved ones.
Listen to it here.
Chorus:
You’re doing anything to feel alive
Doing anything to feel alive, feel alright
But not feeling alright, not feeling
In the sunlight
​
Verse:
I can see you all,
staying up way too late on a Tuesday night
We all know you’re not really sick
Unless a few too many shots is now the influenza
You've been putting way too much up your nose
It didn’t seem like an olbus stick
When it was piled on top of your keys
But tell me did it help? Tell me did it fix it all?
Pre-chorus:
Baby please believe me
You don’t need to do any of this
Or act out in this way
to get my attention
I’m here for you
​
Chorus:
You’re doing anything to feel alive
Doing anything to feel alive, feel alright
but not feeling alright, not feeling
In the morning light
You’re doing anything to feel alive
Doing anything to feel alive, feel alright
but not feeling alright, not feeling
In the sunlight
When i saw you the other week
We both knew you’ve not been sleeping right
I just want the best for you,
I know it's not solving all your problems,
Pre-chorus
it’s not your fault,
and its not mine either
its something you’ve been conditioned to think
When life is bleek
Maybe it's time you seek
Some more meaning
​
Chorus:
You’re doing anything to feel alive
Doing anything to feel alive, feel alright
but not feeling alright, not feeling
In the morning light
You’re doing anything to feel alive
Doing anything to feel alive, feel alright
but not feeling alright, not feeling
In the sunlight
​
You’re doing anything to feel alive
Doing anything to feel alive, feel alright
but not feeling alright, not feeling
In the morning light
You’re doing anything to feel alive
Doing anything to feel alive, feel alright
but not feeling alright, not feeling
In the sunlight
Verse:
You felt like the sun
Our time would always warm me up
and I’m feeling so content sat right next to you
Now I can say
You were the one to guide me through
When life was bleak and i was left all alone in the shadow again
Pre-chorus:
You used to say we would never ever change
and I need you to know that
I’m lucky to have you here
Chorus:
Now all I want is for you stay
Don’t let our time all run away
Well I found you, yeah I found you
Even though you take away
Just a little of the pain
I had to take the path alone and
It was lonely to say the least
It was lonely to say the least
Verse:
The clouds will start to clear
I'm free as I've ever felt
I just to leave not leave it to luck
You’d know what I mean
when I’d say that I’m just tired fine
yeah I wouldn’t have to feel so misunderstood
Pre-chorus:
I used to think that all people were selfish but
you’d give me everything you had just so I’d smile
Chorus:
Now all I want is for you stay
Don’t let our time all run away
Well I found you, yeah I found you
Even though it takes away
Just a little of the pain
Had to take the path alone and
It was lonely to say the least
It was lonely to say the least
Chorus:
Now all I want is for you stay
Don’t let our time all run away
Well I have you, yeah I have you
Even though you take away
Just a little of the pain
I had to take the path alone and
It was lonely to say the least
but it was lovely to have you near
Living Life in the Blue
A song I wrote entirely alone about living in dark times after a breakup
Verse:
Been feeling kinda lonely lately
I think you’re ignoring my calls maybe
You’re reading all my messages daily
Don’t wanna think that you could possibly be
I’ll have to convince myself otherwise cus
Pre-chorus:
Your yellow jumper and baggy jeans
Are filling all of my dreams
Don’t think my black sweater and dungarees
Are filling your brain I can see
Yeah I’ve been
Chorus:
Living my life in the blue
really thought I was over you
But all I can see is red
too busy overthinking everything I've said
Why do you
Do you
Not seem to have a clue
A clue that I’ve just waiting for you
Living my life in the blue cus I'm not with you/at least I'm not with you anymore
Verse:
I can sense a change in your tone
And now you’re only staring at your phone
Did I waste my time waiting at your door
I know I could’ve loved you so much more
Pre-chorus:
Green at the traffic light but I can’t see
Through the tears in my eyes
I just see grey in the sky at day and at night
nothings worth it if you’re not saying it's right
​
Chorus:
Living my life in the blue
Really thought I was over you
All I can see is red
Too busy overthinking everything I said
Why do you
Do you
Not seem to have a clue
A clue that I’ve just waiting for you
Living my life in the blue cus I'm not with you/at least I'm not with you anymore
​
Bridge:
And after everything
I’m wishing for someone new
But they’ve got a lot to live up to
I’ve been waiting for you
And even though you broke my heart
Aon’t know where to start
With anyone but you
Anyone but you
Chorus:
Living my life in the blue
Really thought I was over you
All I can see is red
Too busy overthinking everything I said to you
Why do you
Do you
Not seem to have a clue
A clue that i’ve just waiting for you
Living my life in the blue cus I'm not with you/at least I'm not with you anymore
​
Living my life in the blue
Really thought I was over you
All I can see is red
Too busy overthinking everything I said to you
Why do you
Do you
Not seem to have a clue
A clue that i’ve just waiting for you
Lost and Found
Lyrics I wrote completely alone inspired by Lily Allen's 'No Shame' album.
Feeling Alright
Written with Merryn Robinson about a short romance.

Break the Cycle
A song I wrote about being stuck in a problematic cycle and not being able to get out of it.
Verse:
I’m starting to think that maybe I overreacted
But the damage is done, yeah the damage is done now
i blew it way out of proportion
I felt like we were going round and round just going round and round
​
Pre-chorus:
I’ve said some things
some things I can’t take back
I’ve crossed a line
A line i didn’t want to overstep
Chorus:
I can feel us going round in circles
I’m just trying to break the cycle
are we going round in cycles
I can’t seem to break the cycle / why can’t I break
please break the cycle for me
please break the cycle for me
please break the cycle
Verse:
Can’t deal when it all get’s too much
constantly following the pattern, but somehow it’s different
I’m gonna distance myself so I don’t hurt you anymore
You don’t deserve me at my worst, so I’ll leave you with the best
Pre-chours:
I’ve made mistakes
mistakes I can’t take back
I’ve lived too many lives
too many times I watched my back
​
Chorus:
I can feel us going round in circles
I’m just trying to break the cycle
are we going round in cycles
I can’t seem to break the cycle / why can’t I break
Please break the cycle for me
Please break the cycle for me
Please break the cycle
Bridge:
I’m sorry for all the pain i could’ve caused
I’m sorry for all words i said when i was hurting
I’m sorry that i’m damaged and can’t take back my anger
I’m sorry you to deal with that
I know you didn’t make me this way
​
Chorus:
I can feel us going round in circles
I’m just trying to break the cycle
are we going round in cycles
I can’t seem to break the cycle / why can’t I break
Please break the cycle for me
Please break the cycle for me
Please break the cycle
Verse:
Yeah I know, I know I’ve been kinda lost lately
I’m really not, not feeling myself baby
My world is spinning round and round
I’ve even tried looking in lost and found
Pre-chorus:
Darling let me tell you I was treated so bad
Now I’m just left feeling really, really damn sad
Put me to bed and stroke my head
Give me some love I think I need it
Chorus:
when you’re
Under the weather and you can’t remember how you are
Caught in the motion of the ever moving ocean
No one’s gonna be there more
than you, you’ve gotta get through
Than you, yeah you can rely on you
Then you, you’ve got you and I’ve got you too
​
Verse:
I’m sorry if I’ve done this wrong, this time
Nothing’s feeling right, I'm finding it hard to fight
Fake friends everywhere, hidden in plain sight
Can’t give up now now that we’ve found out
Pre-chorus:
Got told who I was and who I was not
Knocked the life outta me, real clean
Never leave a trace, for the ones you replace
Am i living in this world alone? this world alone?
Chorus:
And when you’re
Under the weather and you can’t recover
Caught in the motion of the ever moving ocean
No one’s gonna be there more
Than you, you’ve gotta get through
Than you, yeah you can rely on you
Then you, you’ve got you and I’ve got you too
Yeah when you’re
under the weather and you can’t remember who you are
Caught in the motion of the ever moving ocean
No one’s gonna be there more
Than you, you’ve gotta get through
Than you, yeah you can rely on you
Then you, you’ve got you and I’ve got you too
Oh when you’re
Under the weather and you can’t recover
Caught in the motion of the ever moving ocean
No one’s gonna be there more
Than you, you’ve gotta get through
Than you, yeah you can rely on you
Then you, you’ve got you and I’ve got you too
Verse:
12 hours is all we need
Catch your eye and see you’re pleased
Feel your body right next to me
If you don’t mind i’d like to get in your mind
Bridge:
Can’t wait to pick your brain
Why don’t we share the blame
Don’t even know you’re name
Chorus:
Feeling alright, Feeling alright
There’s a strange thought in my mind
Move our bodies til the sun light
Will you stay up with me overnight
Feeling closer feeling closer
In this moment loosing focus
Will I know you in Octobe
Or should we just get to it overnight
Overnight, overnight
Verse:
Clouds of smoke and neon lights
Our hearts are beating, synchronised
Pull me in just close your eyes
Hidden in the smokescreen, would you be on my team?
​
Pre-Chorus:
No time to contemplate
You’re coming to my place
Live in your warm embrace
Chorus:
Feeling alright, Feeling alright
There’s a strange thought in my mind

Feeling closer feeling closer
In this moment loosing focus
Will I know you in October
Or should we just get to it overnight
Overnight, overnight

Feeling alright, Feeling alright
There’s a strange thought in my mind
Move our bodies til the sun light
Will you stay up with me overnight
Feeling closer feeling closer
In this moment loosing focus

Or should we just get to it overnight
Overnight, overnight
In Your Company
Lyrics I wrote completely alone inspired by Lily Allen's 'Come On Then'. Listen to a demo of it here.
Verse:
I feel like everything I say
Is noted into your diary
Ready for another day
When your lies bleed away
I feel like everything i do
Is wasted on you
Or picked apart
Ready for a shame party
​
Pre-chorus:
Do you know it’s all in your head?
Nobody else believes what you said
Try deal with your own insecurities
Before you reflect them onto me
I’m not a bad human being
Just trying so to be nice
Should’ve got away sooner
Such much sooner
Chorus:
Bad, bad vibes baby
Coming only from you, shady
Mad, mad mind baby
Must be driving you insane
Cus it is for me
Yeah all you’re negativity
Post chorus:
You can try and try and try again
You can try and try and try again
Break my down again and again and again
I'm not your friend, friend, friend friend,
You’re not my friend, friend, friend, friend
​
Verse 2:
Pre-chorus:
Do you think it’s true?
I mean you must do
To go around,
Spreading shit about
What’s it like in your head?
Always playing a game
Trying to catch me out
Let’s not hangout
​
Pre-Chorus:
I feel like i’ve got it wrong
No, I know who I am, if i could stop crying
You wanna try it? you wanna keep lying?
You don’t fucking know me
You don’t fucking text me, or involve me
You say i’m cruel, then what about you?
Bad intentions of everything you do
Everything is judged by you
Chorus:
Bad, bad vibes baby
Coming only from you, shady
Mad, mad mind baby
Must be driving you insane
Cus it is for me
Yeah all you’re negativity
​
Post chorus:
You can try and try and try again
You can try and try and try again
Break me down again and again and again
I’m not your friend, friend, friend friend,
You’re not my friend, friend, friend, friend
​
Bridge:
Wish i didn’t know you,
Wish i didn’t care
Wish i could just go elsewhere
I’m not getting involved
Leave our problems unsolved
We can’t resolve
What’s now been dissolved
​
Could we unmeet, please?
Don’t want to be
In your company
In your company
In your company
In your company
Chorus:
Bad, bad vibes baby
Coming only from you, shady
Mad, mad mind baby
Bust be driving you insane
Cus it is for me
Yeah all you’re negativity
Post-Chorus:
You can try and try and try again
You can try and try and try again
Break my down again and again and again
I'm not your friend, friend, friend friend,
You’re not my friend, friend, friend, friend
​
Don't want to be
In your company
In your company...
My Favourite Almost
Lyrics I wrote alone inspired by Clairo's '4Ever'.
Listen to a demo of it here.
Intro:
To my favourite almost,
My favourite almost,
my favourite almost, hi.
​
Verse:
Thinking it through
All of the days that
I wasted just wanted you close to me
​
Thinking about
All of the times that
I asked you to stay but you never did
​
Chorus:
You make me feel bad
You make me feel so mad
Oh it’s not feeling right
​
You make me feel weak
You make me feel critiqued
Oh it’s not feeling right at night
​
It’s not right it’s not right it’s not right
Yeah it’s not right its not right it’s not right
​
Verse 2:
Talking with you
A tainted view
Of everything we held so deeply
​
I wanna say
I never gave in
You did it all to yourself again
Good at pretending to
Care and hiding your
Feelings (from me) but we’ve come this far
​
Chorus:
You make me feel bad
You make me feel so mad
Oh it’s not felling right
​
You make me feel weak
You make me feel critiqued
Oh it’s not feeling right at night
​
It’s not right it’s not right it’s not right
yeah it’s not right its not right it’s not right
​
Bridge:
All of the memories
All the love we had now
It’s gone
It’s gone
​
Why, why did i do it?
Repeated to my self
A hundred times
A hundred times over
A hundred times over
A hundred times over again but
I wanna hold on to all our almosts
I wanna kiss you goodbye
I wanna stay up, don’t wanna break up
please will you hold me so tight tonight
for just one night
just one night
one more night
But
Chorus:
You make me feel bad
You make me feel so mad
Oh it’s not felling right
​
You make me feel weak
You make me feel critiqued
Oh it’s not feeling right at night
​
It’s not right it’s not right it’s not right
Yeah it’s not right its not right it’s not right
​
So to
​
My favourite almost
My favourite almost
My favourite almost, goodbye
Can't Get Over You
Written alone, inspired by Clairo.
Listen to the demo here.
I feel it in a dream
Lasting like warm ice cream
Don’t talk like we used to do
I wanna be alone with you
I can’t get over you
Or the things you do /you try to make stay
Just come out and play
For another day another day
​
I call all day
I wait again
Won’t go away
I call all day
I wait again
Lead astray
​
Verse:
You saw me talking there
To someone other than you
You told me “we’re just friends”
Never have a clue
Don’t feel the same
How long til you choose
Ignoring all warnings
Feel like you’re falling
​
chorus
I call all day
I wait again
In the rain
On your front step
I call all day
I wait again
Lead astray
Can’t get over you
Or the things you say
That make me wanna stay
For another day
I call all day
I wait again
Don’t wanna stay
Don't wanna break
I call all day
Won’t wait again
I’ve walked away
Better Off
Lyrics I wrote about things you wish you could say to someone after your relationship has ended. Listen to it here.
Verse 1:
Sometimes i feel like we were
Better in our old days
You’d tell me i am all you need
that I’m your best friend
Maybe we weren’t as great as
the picture i used to paint
I’d do anything for you but
but would you do the same?
​
Pre-chorus
Did you know i’d sit at home
And just stare at my phone,
Until you rang
Only wanted to be the one
The one you’d called
when time you’d fall
Maybe i was lost in a daydream
Stuck overthinking
Everything you’d say
​
Chorus:
Cus I don’t want it to end
You were my only friend,
But this a dead end
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
things will never be the same
i know we’re better off this way
things can never be the same
i know we’re better off this way
better off this way
​
Verse 2:
some things just don’t work out the way we want them to
people don’t always change like we thought the would
maybe i don’t know you as well as i thought i did
and maybe i should walk away before i lose myself again
Pre-chorus:
I remember way back when we’d sit at home and laugh all day
I know its not right and things haven’t been for quite some time
I loved every part of you, i really cared for you, scarified myself for you
I was never a lie, i promise I didn’t hide
Would’ve given you every breath i had
Maybe we need a day off, or a week off
or a life off
Cus things can’t stay this way
I can feel it everyday
This is the end
Chorus:
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Things can never be the same
I know we’re better off this way
I know we're better off this way
I know we're better off this way
House Party 44
Lyrics I wrote about the bad sides of a house party.
Listen to it here.
Verse 1:
Everybody’s talking to me I feel out of touch,
All they wanna do is take another hit feel the rush,
But is it enough?
​
Listen to them as scream and talk about that girl fern
Everyones got a friend but everybody’s in doubt
But thats not me and you
Pre-Chorus:
I believe, you can see
Everything I’m doing
Just to move in closer
Till the time, be your perfect loser
Tor a moment i think we could be together
​
Everybody’s starting at us
Like we’re Brangelina
Don’t worry cus tomorrow they won’t remember
But we’re on the same it’s a shame
Not sure how you feel
​
Chorus:
I don’t wanna know (x2)
we’re living in a case thats surround us and I feel like it’s gonna blow
I don’t wanna know (x2)
we’re about to overdose i just want closure I can’t take it anymore
I don’t wanna know
​
Verse 2:
It’s 3am and everyone’s making their own mistakes
Dropping pills, doing shots or kissing all of their mates
Taking anything just to feel alive (but not) in the morning light (feel the high)
​
Pre-chorus:
Told you how i felt
now you’re mad?
would you please spit it out,
feeling sober
I just want a lover
can i be in your arms
or is this a dream?
Chorus:
I don’t wanna know (x2)
we’re living in a case thats surround us and I feel like it’s gonna blow
I don’t wanna know (x2)
we’re about to overdose i just want closure I can’t take it anymore
I don’t wanna know
​
3rd verse:
My world has turned upside down
The girl's doing another line but it's not fine, but not this time
​
Hello it’s been a while could you please pick up the phone,
I didn't mean it at all, i know i'm such a fool
are you fine
I'm not fine
Pre-Chorus:
I’m scared we've changed
and we’ll never bounce back
we’re always moving forward,
Drawn together like magnets
now we're polar opposites
All the people you see
All these people aren’t free
They're not free from society
But could we be?
Could we be?
​
I don't want to know.
We're Not Free
Lyrics I wrote alone about a controlling relationship.
Listen to it here.
Verse:
I, I want you,
But I can’t learn to lose
And you said some thing
That I relive on repeat
​
Chorus:
On and on and on we’re changing
No one here alive
Could say that I didn’t try
Left behind the mask i’m fading,
Who are you to say what’s underneath
No one’s free
No one's free
No one's free
Not even me
​
Verse 2:
Do, do you think,
That I choose to live life so bleak
But they, they say I break,
But who the hell are they anyway
Chorus:
On and on and on we’re changing
No one here alive
left behind the mask i’m fading,
who are you to say what’s underneath
no one’s free
No one's free
No one's free
Not even me
​
Bridge:
You, you, you, you, you stole me
You, you, you, you, you broke me
You, you, you, you, you left me here
You, you, you, you, you stole me
You, you, you, you, you broke me
You, you, you, you, you wiped me clean
Chorus:
On and on and on we're changing
No one here alive
Could say that i didn’t try
Left behind the mask I’m fading,
Who are you to say what’s underneath
No one's free
Tongue Tied
Lyrics I wrote about telling someone you like them when you're not sure if they like you back. Listen to a live take here.
Verse:
Can we talk for just one moment?
I’ve been here waiting for you to notice
You’re the one I just want to be alone with
But everyday we’re lost in some stolen moments
Pre-chorus:
All along i’ve been waiting to know
I’ve never felt like i can be this open with anyone
Yeah we could be a mistake but then baby what’s the point
If we don’t build something worth breaking to everyone
​
Chorus:
Just say like it is
Ain’t no time to be tongue tied
So I put on a show
Hope you’d buy a ticket tonight
I can be your lead
If you’ll only promise me
I get to hold on to the role
Until the end of your lives
Cus I can’t breathe alone
I can’t breathe alone
I can’t breathe alone, alone
Verse 2:
Can you hold on/ wait for just one minute
I know these pillow thoughts been creeping
Up on you like my feelings are on me
Trust me baby trust me we’re meant to be
Pre-chorus:
The photograph i painted you is holding all my hope
There’s a hidden message left inside for you to decode
I know we’re head to head on a tight rope
Dont want to fall face first out of your consciousness
Chorus:
Just say like it is
Ain’t no time to be tongue tied we’re running out time
So I put on a show
And I'd hope you’d buy a ticket tonight
I can be your lead
If you’ll only promise me
I get to hold on to the role
Until the end of your lives
Cus I can’t breathe alone
I can’t breathe alone
cus i just wanna talk and I don't wanna force it But I can’t breathe alone, alone
Chorus:
Just say like it is
Ain’t no time to be tongue tied
So I put on a show
And I'd hoped you’d buy a ticket tonight
I can be your lead
If you’ll only promise me
I get to hold on to the role
Until the end of your lives
Cus I can’t breathe alone
I can’t breathe alone
Hurts
Lyrics I wrote about an emotionally damaging relationship here.
Verse 1:
I love to see you hang round and
I hear all the things you say now
I know I hurt you in the past but
I don’t think that makes it right
When all of it is
A lie you told
When all of it is
When all of it hurts
Hurts, hurts, hurts x3
​
Verse 2:
You got me to believe what you say then
You’d go and hurt me again
You led me far too astray and
Cus you know how that it gets to me ​
​
Pre-chorus:
When all of it is
A lie you told
When all of it is
When all of it hurts
Chorus:
Hurts, hurts, hurts x6
​
Before We Leave
Lyrics I wrote about a relationship that can't work now both parties are damaged. Listen to it here.
Verse:
I thought we had it all figured out
I alway knew what I did and why
Sometimes i overthought, but i over-loved
Now the time has the come cus everything caught up
​
Pre-chorus:
I’ve been loosing and dishonest,
Yeah I’ve been taken for granted
I wanna feel like i’m your one
I wanna feel special
And yeah I wanna feel loved
Not like im just someone cus that’s not the one
Chorus:
We were never there
we were never hurt
We were only asking someone if we were right
But it’s true,
Always feel like there’s something to prove
Yeah it’s true and
Who are you gonna choose
Before we leave
Before we leave
Verse 2:
I can’t sit here and listen any more
You’re not being fair and you’re being honest
You know all I saw in my future was you but
You just want the world for the title of miss righteous
Pre-chorus:
Didn’t have the change from the tenner,
Now I feel bad, sent a letter,
What did it cost to my self preserve?
You know you don’t have to
Say that you’re always happy to
My names in your list stuck right under number two
Chorus:
We were never there
We were never hurt
We were only asking someone if we were right
But it’s true,
Always feel like there’s something to prove
Yeah it’s true and
Who are you gonna choose
Before we leave
before we leave
now we’ve do what we gotta do
but its not only up to you
now we’ve do what we gotta do
but its also up to me too
Chorus:
We were never there
We were never hurt
We were only asking someone if we were right
But it’s true,
Always feel like there’s something to prove
Yeah it’s true and
Who are you gonna choose
Before we leave
Before we leave
Do what we've got to do.
You
A song I wrote about a person you thought was great at the start, but actually they're not at all. Listen to it here.
Verse:
Thought I had you figured out
Thought you were alright
For a moment I fell all in
Come over we’ll talk a while
Pre-chorus::
Every time I wonder what you think at night
Let’s just go back and act all fine
But don’t be acting like a dick this time
Cus I know what’s right, yeah I know what’s right
​
Chorus:
I don’t wanna waste
Another day today
Wondering what you mean
I’ll never let in (cus)
You
Need to learn I’m human too
You
Need to learn some basic truth
You
Need to know I don’t belong to
You
You
Verse 2:
Catch myself laughing at
Can’t translate the words you say
But you had to pull me closer and
Kiss me the other day
Pre-chorus:
Your hand on my hip is now another lie
Never miss a trick or a porkie pie
Play me like you do monopoly
I could give you all the properties
Chorus:
I don’t wanna waste
Another day today
Wondering what you mean
I’ll never let in (cus)
You
Need to learn I’m human too
You
Need to learn some basic truth
You
Need to know I don’t belong to
You
Outro:

Don't Go
A song I wrote about not wanting a relationship to end or the person to leave. Listen to it here.
Verse:
You’re my day light crush
I'm lying on your bed, has the sunset for us?
I don’t wanna say you are what I need cus it’s clear to see
Whenever I feel alone
All of the days and nights merge
Listen to me cus it’s not what you think
Chorus:
Don’t go
Seems to be the final call
Please will you turn off your phone
Why does it feel strange
Don’t go
Stay so we can talk some more
Or listen to our favourite songs
Now it's just gonna rain and
We can’t seem to change
Verse 2:
I know I crossed some lines
Things you never said running through my mind
I tried to hide the shame inside
Now it all needs to end
You don’t treat me right
i still gave my life
Even though it turned my heart into ice
​
Chorus:
Don’t go
Seems to be the final call
Please will you turn off your phone
Why does it feel strange
Don’t go
Stay so we can talk some more
Or listen to our favourite songs
Now it's just gonna rain and
We can’t seem to change
Verse:
You are my midnight fear
Look into the meaning behind the dreaming
Midnight to dawning
My eyes can’t stop pour
Feel my heart pound
As you walk right out the door
Winter is starting
I can’t feel the summer anymore
​
Chorus:
Don’t go
Stay so we can talk some more
Or listen to our favourite songs
But we can’t seem to change
