I think I may have made a bad choice 
Inviting you in

I think I may have made a bad choice
In calling you "friend"

I think I may have made a bad choice
In holding your hand

I think I may have made a bad choice 
In trusting you then

Say you miss me, say you miss me
Wanna come home?

Yeah you kissed me, yeah you kissed me 
To not be alone

But you never loved me 
Never loved me, I was short term

So I had to leave, shoes to concrete
Live and let learn

You say that you don't know me
I know you better than I should

You say that you've outgrown me
The words I never thought you would say

I'm better off without you anyway

I keep on asking questions
Like where've you been and where'd you go

You say that I'm obsessive
That color doesn't look good, so

Save this disaster
You think you love me
Can't find the answer
Now I'm losing sleep
Losing my mind
Wasting my time

Wish life was faster
Said no one, nowhere
What is the answer 
When nobody cares

Wish you were mine
Wasting my time

Anyway

Learn my lesson

You scratched my skin like clockwork
When we collided in the dark
I never knew anyone like you
Then you tore my heart apart

I never really thought I'd feel so blue
About someone I cared for
About someone I knew

When I left London
It tore my heart in two
To leave you standing 
Behind that Wetherspoons

I think I loved you
I know I cared
I wasn't there

------

We met at St. Paul's, total Strangers
We drank from our open containers

While everyone else sat six feet apart

We spent total weekends in silence
Aware of our open defiance

While everyone else
stayed out of the club

Loving in quarantine
It seems so mad
When it's just you and me
The times we had

Loving in quarantine
You kind of know
It's not forever
And then it's time to go.

Six feet apart

How much space is too much to maintain?
These fragile thoughts won't stay the night

Are you okay? 
You always seem to ask.
Nevermind the fact, 
we're looking back.

I stand alone.
Inside my home, 
waiting for you.

Those wasted words, 
inside my heart,
they held onto you.

Are you okay?
You never seemed to care.
Based on the depths of your despair,
nothing's permanent.

I stand alone,
beside my phone, 
waiting for you.

Those three small words,
I'm scared to say,
in case they ring true.
I don't know what to do now..

Waiting

Grays Inn and Elm:
I thought that we ended all this madness
At the corner of Grays Inn and Elm street
I thought that we starved those lonesome
Habits ‘til along came a Wise hand that
Brought you to me
I never believed the age-old adage
That said if you love someone set them
free;
Cause in times that have passed I’ve seen
The greener grass
And I’d be happy with you just counting
Sheep
We didn’t sleep for a long time
I didn’t sleep for that whole night
I spread my wings and decided I could fly
We didn’t speak for a long time
You wanted to leave I was just fine
And just as I steadied my head
Memories of you came flooding in
And I held on to you like I was sinking
I held on to you like I’d been drinking
I held on to you for far too long my dear
And now we’re sitting here
Having ice cream and beer
On your kitchen floor
Saying what’s mine will always be yours
We split up here
Nothing’s the same anymore
Just close the goddamn door
And walk away like you do
Cause we didn’t speak for a long time
You wanted to leave I was just fine
I didn’t need you
I needed the rest of my life
You went away you got engaged
I thought we had something you faked it
But still I knew that someday
Somehow both our worlds would collide
And I held on to you like I was sinking
I held on to you like I’d been drinking
I held onto you for far too long my dear
I held on to you
Oh my heart was showing
I held on to you without even knowing
I held on to you for far too long my dear

Grays Inn and Elm (voice memo demo)

you and i have compromised
many times during our lives
i've told my share of stupid lies
but you're still there each time i cry

i'm falling too deep into your gravity
i'm caught in between memories of you and me
can't find my way out 
without a doubt
i'm lost without you
without you

you and me had plans to be
the greatest thing since freddie mercury
along the way you found another love
but i still think about you in my arms

i'm falling too deep into your gravity
i'm caught in between memories of you and me
can't find my way out 
without a doubt
i'm lost without you
without you

you and i have realized
we cannot have each other in our lives
maybe if you do not walk away
we could see this to another day

but now, i'm without you forever
and now all my heartstrings are severed
and i can find someone to take your place
but i'll still see your face
yeah i'll still see your face

heart strings

Grays Inn and Elm

I’m writing a song about a type of love
The one I’m dreaming of
I’m writing a song for yet another crush
Who won’t reciprocate because

Sadly this was one-sided, divided
And honestly, I caught emotions

And darling if you deny it
Like I did
I’ll disappear, I won’t approach you

And of me, you’ll never hear, again

I’m writing a song about [REDACTED]
And how it all began
A solemn Saturday night
You whispered we’re just friends

I’ll make my way to yours on the 
Hammersmith and City line
A tad bit insecure
As I know you’ve done this a milion times

But, sadly this was one-sided, divided 
And honestly, I caught emotions
And darling when you deny it
Like I did, 
I’ll disappear to Nova Scotia
And of me, you’ll never hear, again

Just Friends

just me and my guitar, plus some harmonies etc.
