It’s hard to let someone in when you’ve been broken before.
Promise Me You’ll Stay is about that moment when you finally do, when you stop pretending you’re fine and just ask them to stay.

It’s fragile, honest, and quietly hopeful, a love song for people who don’t always trust love.

💞 For nights when you want to believe that this time, it’s safe to stay.

Lyrics:

I remember when you caught my stare
Something in the silence kept me there
Your hand touched mine, the noise was gone
For the first time, I felt I belonged

We’re learning how to trust, piece by piece
Giving away the parts we keep
Every fear, we’re laying down
Hoping love is strong enough now
Side by side, it feels so right
Promise me you’ll stay through the night

You said, Tell me what you’re hiding inside
I said, It’s the part I’m scared to confide
But every word you spoke pulled me near
Made me believe the healing starts here

We’re learning how to trust, piece by piece
Giving away the parts we keep
Every fear, we’re laying down
Hoping love is strong enough now
Side by side, it feels so right
Promise me you’ll stay through the night

If I fall, will you be strong?
If I’m weak, will you hold on?

We’re learning how to trust, piece by piece
Giving away the parts we keep
Every scar grows lighter now
Love is strong enough somehow
Side by side, it feels so right
Promise me you’ll stay through the night

So hold my hand until the morning light
Stay with me beyond tonight
Every step, we’ll find our way
And I’ll love you more every day

Fleeting Moment

“War Torn Love” comes from growing up where love and fear lived in the same room.

It’s about hearing fights through the walls, learning pain before peace, and carrying that into adulthood without realising how much it shaped you. About trying to build something better while still fighting what you came from.

The track sits in a dark, atmospheric space, raw verses, and a ghost-like hook that feels like memory talking back. It moves from childhood to now, from survival to success, and questions what really changes.

This isn’t a story with a clean ending.
It’s about what stays with you.
And how love can still hurt long after the noise stops.

Lyrics:

I was six, heard the slam, then a crash, then a scream,
Heard a plea, heard her cry, saw the blood on the scene.
Fist hit flesh, then the silence creeped,
Mama layin’ there, whisperin’, “Please don’t leave.”
But he ain’t leave, he ain't stop, he ain't care,
Bottle in his hand, wild-eyed in a stare.
Bruises on her arms like roads that cross,
Told me, "Baby, it's alright," but I knew she lost.
I was just a kid, but I knew what fear was,
Knew what hate was, knew what pain does.
Saw the ring on her hand but the cut on her lip,
She stayed for us, but we ain’t do shit.

Love turned our home to a war-torn place,
Love wrote its name in the lines on my face.
I was a child when it taught me to bleed,
Now I confuse all this hurt with a need.

Fifteen, mama said, "Don’t be like him,"
But I felt his blood run thick in my skin.
Felt his rage in my jaw, in my fists, in my chest,
I was him, I was me, I was both, I was less.
I was raised in the dark, now my soul see red,
Slept in a house, but it felt like the feds.
It felt like a war zone, felt like a cage,
Felt like my mama was stuck in a grave.
I hit the streets, ran with the wolves,
Turned pain to money, turned hurt into jewels.
Mama said, "Boy, don’t you fall to that life,"
But she prayed to a God that ain’t save her that night.

Love turned our home to a war-torn place,
Love wrote its name in the lines on my face.
I was a child when it taught me to bleed,
Now I confuse all this hurt with a need.

I got racks now, I got keys,
I got ice on my wrist, but it don’t freeze.
I got scars on my soul, but they don’t bleed,
I got mama on my line, still beggin’ me please.
She stayed for us, now I stay for the game,
She took them hits, now I deal with the pain.
She held her breath, now I sip just to breathe,
She kept it quiet, now I scream in my sleep.
Told myself, "Boy, you ain’t never go back,"
But pain got a way of just changin’ its mask.
Look in the mirror, see the rage in my eyes,
Am I just my father but in a disguise?

Only love could leave me this hollow,
Only love could break what I follow.
It’s a game I play, though I never win,
Only love could burn within…

Love made the house shake…
Love left the light gone…
I still hear the footsteps…
Then everything goes calm…
Love made the house shake…
Love left the light gone…
I still hear the footsteps…
Then everything goes calm…
