I can't wait to go Home

Leave me

I’m reading a book  
But you keep circling around me  
We had a fight, so now?  
What do you want, what do you expect?  

Leave me, leave me, leave me, take your own way,  
Leave me, leave me, leave me, I’m not your toy to play.  
Leave me, leave me, leave me, 
Leave me, alone. 
Leave me, leave me, leave me, 
Leave me, dream

I thought you were a caring man  
I was definitely wrong  
Maybe before it was just a strategy  
To get to me, to my fragile heart.  

Leave me, leave me, leave me, take your own way,  
Leave me, leave me, leave me, I’m not your toy to play.  
Leave me, leave me, leave me, 
Leave me, alone. 
Leave me, leave me, leave me, 
Leave me, dream

But don’t you realize you’re bothering me?
Like the smoke from your cigarette that has filled the room 
I need to reflect, I need to understand  
Who we are, and which direction we’re heading

Leave me, leave me, leave me, take your own way,  
Leave me, leave me, leave me, I’m not your toy to play.  
Leave me, leave me, leave me, 
Leave me, alone. 
Leave me, leave me, leave me, 
Leave me, dream

But don’t you realize you’re bothering me?
Like the smoke from your cigarette that has filled the room 
I need to reflect, I need to understand  
Who we are, and which direction we’re heading?  

Leave me, leave me, leave me, take your own way,  
Like the smoke from your cigarette that has filled the room 
I need to reflect, I need to understand  
Who we are, and which direction we’re heading

Leave me

#Pop #LoveBallad #Jazz-Pop #Gospel #Soul #Redemption #1960sVibe #Remix2025

A heartfelt love ballad to show my devotion to my partner, owning my mistakes and pleading for redemption, this Elvis like track, is a tribute is to Elvis Presley, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll 👑🎙️ Blending 1960s gospel-soul, jazzy pop, and subtle pop rock,  I wanted to bring back the old sound completely remixed for 2025 with cinematic flair ✨, it’s a goosebumps-inducing ode to love’s healing power, echoing Elvis’s timeless charisma. So much research was done to get these results and
I wanted to write something special in the way Elvis would sing it ✍️ but with my own words. 🔥🙏.

❤️ I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU! 🎸

The Old Haunts

(Music begins: upright bass walking slow and warm; brushed drums in an easy shuffle; a lazy electric guitar chord blooms and fades. A violin sighs once, then settles into the background.)


---

Verse 1

Same streetlight flickers outside the flat,
Same black cab hums where the pavement’s cracked.
Window fogs where I used to cry,
Now I just watch the buses glide by.

Camden smells like smoke and rain,
Every bar still knows my name.
But the girl who wore that crown of noise—
She learned to trade the ache for poise.


---

Pre-Chorus

The jukebox spins a record slow,
The kind I played too loud before.
I hum along, but this time low—
Don’t need the pain to love it more.


---

Chorus

The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore,
They’re just stories I lived once before.
I walk past ghosts with an easy grin,
Raise my glass to who I’ve been.
The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore.


---

Verse 2

Passed the café where you called me “wild,”
Now the waitress says, “You look so mild.”
Funny how peace can change your face—
Turns the running into grace.

Graffiti fades on the record shop wall,
But I still see us, twenty and small.
We thought love was a war to win—
Now I know it’s a place to begin.


---

Pre-Chorus

The rain taps soft on my coat tonight,
A rhythm steady, clean, and right.
The city hums, a familiar chord—
But I don’t tremble anymore.


---

Chorus

The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore,
They’re just stories I lived once before.
I walk past ghosts with an easy grin,
Raise my glass to who I’ve been.
The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore.


---

Bridge

I thought healing was a song that ends,
But it plays again in different friends.
Every laugh, every scar, every missed refrain—
They’re the notes that taught me how to stay.

(The strings swell softly; the bass keeps walking steady, like footsteps on wet pavement.)


---

Final Chorus

The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore,
They’re postcards from a life I wore.
I bless the tears, I bless the floor—
Of every bar that kept me sure.
The old haunts don’t haunt me anymore.


---

Outro

(Music fades to just bass and guitar.)
The jukebox hums, the streetlight glows,
I take the long way home—
And the city finally feels
like mine.

(A final brushed snare and upright bass note linger; the reverb carries her breath into silence.)


The Old Haunts

So we’re going to slow down COMPLETELY after the release of THE DARK SIDE

The song “MAKE IT RIGHT” is about breaking free from perfectionism and self-doubt. It reflects a journey toward self-acceptance, realizing that true strength comes from embracing imperfection. Instead of chasing approval or flawless performance, we should learn to live authentically — finding peace, confidence, and freedom in simply being ourselves.

LYRIC

Intro

I tried to walk a line that’s straight,
Always perfect, never late.
But the cracks inside still show,
Guess the rules won’t help me grow.

Verse

Counting every step I take,
Worried ‘bout the moves I make.
But the harder I pretend,
The less I know where I begin.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a flawless disguise,
I’ll let the real me rise.

Chorus 

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Verse

Tired of wearing someone’s face,
Running in a losing race.
Now I see the truth is clear,
What I need is already here.

Pre-Chorus 

I won’t let the moment pass me by,
This is who I am inside.

Chorus

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Bridge

Every scar has told my name,
Every fault is not a shame.
Perfect’s just a losing game,
But I won’t play it.

Final Chorus 

I don’t have to make it right,
I just gotta live my life.
All the pressure falls away,
I’m enough, I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to make it right,
Being me is worth the fight.

Outro

 “I’m enough, I’m enough”

Make it right

This is an old recording that I dusted off recently... for what it's worth.

🎵 SUGAR & SIN

---

INTRO

Sugar…
Sin…
Here we go again.


VERSE 1

Sweet on the outside, poison in the core,
Every time you knock, I open up the door.
You kiss like candy, talk like trouble,
Pull me in once and I’m seeing double.

You got that velvet-danger grin,
One look at me and I cave right in.
Baby, you’re no good — that’s the truth,
But hell if I can stay away from you.


---

PRE-CHORUS

I tell myself I’m done…
then you say my name again.
My halo hits the floor —
and I’m yours like I’ve always been.


---

CHORUS

You taste like sugar and sin,
I know you’re bad, but I let you in.
You’re trouble wrapped in a perfect skin,
Baby, I break — and you always win.

You taste like sugar and sin…
(I know, I know, I know…)
but I let you in.


---

VERSE 2

You call at midnight, ask me what I’m doing,
Baby, don’t pretend — we both know what’s brewing.
You say you’ve changed, I say I won’t fall,
But you breathe my name and I lose it all.

I swear I’m stronger, swear I’ve grown,
But you show up and I’m skin and bone.
Guess some lessons never stick,
When the poison tastes this sick.


---

PRE-CHORUS

I tell myself I’m fine…
but you’re under my skin again.
You pull me to the edge —
and I jump like it’s pretend.


---

CHORUS 

You taste like sugar and sin,
I know you’re bad, but I let you in.
You’re trouble wrapped in a perfect skin,
Baby, I break — and you always win.

You taste like sugar and sin…
(I know, I know, I know…)
but I let you in.


---

POST-CHORUS DROP

Mm-mm, sugar…
Mm-mm, sin…
Every time I swear I’m done,
you pull me back again.

---

BRIDGE 

I blame you,
then I blame myself.
Call it love,
but it feels like hell.

I want out —
but then you pull me in…
Guess angels fall
for a devil’s grin.

---

FINAL CHORUS

You taste like sugar and sin,
I know you’re bad, but I let you in.
My flaws, your fire — where do I begin?
Baby, I lose — just to let you win.

You taste like sugar and sin…
(I know, I know, I know…)
but I let you in.


---

OUTRO

Sugar…
Sin…
Here we go again.
