Hands already held

Here is a demo of my new song with Piano and Programming by Eddie Ruiter of Aberdeen.
Lyrics:
A chance to win, is a chance to lose.
A chance to be loved, is a chance to be used.
A chance to be up, is a chance to be down.
A chance to be lost, is a chance to be found
Cause I've been dying to tell you
If I die, before you do,
I would run away to heaven,
And wait for you.
In all the ways, in all directions,
I'll be here for your protection.
This I promise you, This I promise you
Whatever I do, Whatever I say,
When I'm with you,
Everything's ok.
I've loved and lost, I've loved and learned,
Been torn apart, abused and burned.
I've loved you since the very start.
I love you still, with all my heart.
On my sleeve, my heart I keep.
My love for you, forever deep.
On your neck, your heart you keep.
You lock it tight, just you and me.
I've been dying to tell you.
If I die, before you do,
I would run away to heaven,
And wait for you.
In all the ways, in all directions,
I'll be here for your protection.
This I promise you, This I promise you.
Whatever I do, Whatever I say,
Seems to push you far away.
Baby right here, baby right now,
we're going to save our love somehow.



This I Promise You

I had a thought that made me write this song.
 
The love of your life cannot love you unless you love yourself. You are the only person that will love you forever. 
 
This song is about being mentally torn apart by the one you love and feeling like the only way for them to love you is by physically tearing that person apart and putting them back together with your heart inside of them. By doing so, you die for them, you die for their love. 
 
My Heart:
-Adam Dugas

I feel my heart beating, inside of my chest,
Trying to leave me, as fast as it can.
Cause when you're around, it pounds and it pounds, 
Entangled in ups and downs.
 
It's not what you said, it's the way that you said it. 
You tore me apart, and you took me for granted. 
When love disappears, I know how it feels, 
to hide behind your tears.
 
I gave you my heart, I gave you my heart.
 
I'm reading your notes, and I'm trying my best, 
to look on the bright side, of this loneliness. 
I'd take you apart, just to see if you're real, 
then put you together, to see if you feel,
 
My heart, I gave you my heart.
 
Now that I'm with you, my love's here to stay,
Your new heart is beating, it's beating away.
When love disappears, I know how it feels, 
to hide behind your tears.
 
I'd die for you my dear.

My Heart

Music, Lyrics, Production, Programming, Engineering -Adam Dugas

Can't Stop Loving You - Adam Dugas

Verse one:

Here we go, once again.
I can't move on from anything.
When you look, I can't resist,
But I'm afraid to taste your kiss.
 
Pre Chorus:

Maybe I'll give up,
or maybe I will stay,
cause your kiss, could mean everything.

Chorus:

Cause I can't take my eyes off you,
I can't keep my hands off you,
I can't get my mind off you,
I'm afraid,
I can't stop loving you.

Verse two:

I'm afraid of what you think,
I'm afraid of everything,
when you smile, I melt inside,
that's how I know that it will be alright.

Pre Chorus:

Maybe I'll give up,
or maybe I will stay,
cause your kiss, could mean everything.

Chorus:

Cause I can't take my eyes off you,
I can't keep my hands off you,
I can't get my mind off you,
I'm afraid,
I can't stop loving you.

Bridge:

I just want somebody to love,
Don't give up, don't give up.

Chorus:

Cause I can't take my eyes off you,
I can't keep my hands off you,
I can't get my mind off you,
I'm afraid,
I can't stop loving you.

I can't stop loving you, I can't stop loving you

Can't Stop Loving You

I'm In Love With A Lesbian
All instruments and vocals written, recorded and produced by Adam Dugas 

She only likes me when she's straight.
She only likes me when she's down and broken.
When I'm with her, I can't complain.
I let our bodies rearrange, cause I can't say no.

Cause I'm in love with a lesbian,
she said she's done, 
but she's back again,
I'll wait my turn, 
I never learn,
She doesn't know what she's missing. 

She doesn't like me when it rains.
She only likes me when her heart is broken.
When I'm with her, I can't complain.
I let our bodies rearrange, cause I can't say no.

Cause I'm in love with a lesbian,
she said she's done, 
but she's back again,
I'll wait my turn, 
I never learn,
She doesn't know what she's missing. 

This is, the best of me.
Take it while you can, or baby set me free.
This is, the best of me.
Lying here in your arms, I don't care where we are, 
if you're o.k. Are you o.k? 

Cause I'm in love with a lesbian,
she said she's done, 
but she's back again,
I'll wait my turn, 
I never learn,
She doesn't know what she's missing. 

I'm In Love With A Lesbian

All Instruments, Vocals, Lyrics, were preformed produced and written by Adam Dugas 

We've been up, baby
We've been down,
I swear, I'm gonna make you proud
Don't give up, baby soon you'll see, 
You were made for me.

I, never fall in love,
I, know you want me to,
I've, never been in love,
Until the day I met you.


We've been right, baby,
We've been wrong,
I'll be exactly what you want,
All my life, baby, I'll be true,
I was made for you.

Don't wanna give up, 
Cause I believe,
That I was made for you, 
and you were made for me.





Ups and Downs

Written, Recorded, Produced, Performed and mixed by Adam Dugas.

You've got a way,
to make a smile that's always on my face.

You've got a way,
to make me wonder how your lips would taste.

I couldn't wait to find out.

All I know,
I can't believe my eyes,
you're beautiful.

You should know,
you make a flower seem,
so miserable.

Heels over head,
chin over toes,
You're the greatest feeling,
that I have ever known.

I've got a way,
another day will never,
be the same.

What can I say,
I found a good girl,
She was worth the wait.

Nice guys finish first.

All I know,
I can't believe my eyes,
you're beautiful.

You should know,
you make a flower seem,
so miserable.

Heels over head,
chin over toes,
You're the greatest feeling,
that I have ever known.

When we're together,
we make the world rain,
We've got the happiness,
and they've got all the pain.

Heels over head,
chin over toes,
You're the greatest feeling,
that I have ever known.

Heartbreak

This is a demo recording of my new song "Next To Me" 
All recording, instruments and vocals performed by Adam Dugas.

You're building a wall, just to break it down.
You're making a noise just to hear the sound.
You're letting me in, just to kick me out.
(tell me all the things you think about)
You're pulling away, just to pull me in.

It's so plain to see,

If the place you want to be, 
Is right here next to me,
and I've tried to make you see,
but you just won't believe me.
When I say, that I love you, I love you
When I say that I mean it, I mean it.

I'm trying my best just to let it show,
I'd do anything to let you know.
I'm afraid that if I walk away,
I will never live another day.
Catch a breath and come back to say.

It's so plain to see,

If the place you want to be, 
Is right here next to me,
and I've tried to make you see,
but you just won't believe me.
When I say, that I love you, I love you
When I say that I mean it, I mean it. 

You're building me up, just to break me down.
You press on my heart, just to make it pound.
You want me away, when I stick around,
You say you're okay, when you mope around.

If the place you want to be, 
Is right here next to me,
and I've tried to make you see,
but you just won't believe me.
When I say, that I love you, I love you
When I say that I mean it, I mean it. 

Next To Me

This is a demo recording of my new song "The City Of No Friends"
All recording, instruments and vocals; written, performed, and programmed by Adam Dugas.

Why don't you tell me that you're ok,
So you can do the things you do.
Cause if you tell me that it's o.k.
(I'll never make it up to you)

Is there a reason to this!?
Cause I don't know oh oh oh
If I go down with the ship.
I've missed the boat oh oh oh.
Oh I've been dying to tell you
Everything goes so fast.
But nothing ever changes,
In the city of no friends.

She's got me jumping to conclusions.
Because she doesn't have a clue
She's like a kid with a dead balloon.
She's so Hopelessly deflated.

Is there a reason to this!?
I need to know oh oh oh
If I go down with the ship.
I've missed the boat oh oh oh.
And I've been dying to tell you
Everything goes so fast.
But nothing ever changes,
In the city of no friends.

Is there a reason to this!
I need to know oh oh oh
If I go down with the ship.
I've missed the boat oh oh oh.
And I've been dying to tell you
Everything goes so fast.
But nothing ever changes,
In the city of no friends.
