“I Really Wanted You To Love Me” is a mirror-fogged confession — a collection of breakup songs that live somewhere between hope and devastation.
These tracks follow the emotional arc of loving someone who simply couldn’t show up, even when you gave them everything.
Layered with electronic-pop textures, warm female vocals, and late-night honesty, the album captures the quiet moments you don’t talk about: the waiting, the wishing, the unraveling, and finally… the release.
If your heart has ever whispered ‘why wasn’t I enough?’ — these songs will meet you there.

far from perfect

it’s time for the hard stuff

won’t you let me into your heart

have the courage-to change

burned bridges

why does love end in disappointment

mama when

forever wasn’t long enough

when are you going to start adulting boy

what were you thinking

the walk away waltz
