‘’’Shadow’ is about my first ever heartbreak. I was filled with anger, sadness and disbelief, but the feelings didn’t disappear. Writing it felt liberating, like therapy’’.

Shadow (Official Audio)

This song is about the changing friendships you experience in your twenties. They come and go and sometimes it’s hard to accept that. But admitting that to yourself and to each other is the first step.🖤

Lyrics: 
What is it you’re tryna tell me, or isn’t there anything you wanna tell
What is it you’re tryna hide, or isn’t there something that you wanna hide
 
I called you a few times, didn’t your telephone ring
Over and over

We act like we forgot
We act like we forgave
Are we living in a lie
Are we living in a lie
 
What is it you’re tryna tell me, or isn’t there anything you wanna tell
What is it you’re tryna hide, or isn’t there something that you wanna hide
 
I called you a few times, didn’t your telephone ring
Over and over

We act like we forgot
We act like we forgave
Are we living in a lie
Are we living in a lie

Cause there are times at night
I feel a rage inside
No longer can deny
You’re still the sinner inside
Now I realize
I still hate you a little
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh

It's hard to tell the truth
A lie is easier
You know we think alike
That's why we
 
We act like we forgot
We act like we forgave
Are we living in a lie
Are we living in a lie

We act like we forgot (we act like we forgot, we act like we forgot)
We act like we forgave (we act like we forgave, we act like we forgave)
Are we living in a lie (are we living in a lie, are we living in a lie)
Are we living in a lie (are we living in a lie, are we living in a lie)
 
We act like we forgot
We act like we forgave
Are we living in a lie
Lie

We act like we forgot (we act like we, we act like we)
We act like we forgave (we act like we, are we living) 
Are we living in a lie (are we living)
Are we living (are we)

Lyrics: 
I never apologized the way I wanted 
We never were the way I wanted 
The way I dreamed we’d be 

There’s a hundred songs I wrote, they were always about him
This one’s for the mirror 

I’m sorry 
I’m sorry 

For assuming and consuming him like a drug in my head
I was addicted, I was addicted, I was addicted
For distracting, for how I acted, for being selfish, for what I said
I was helpless, I was helpless, I was helpless 

I always thought I would be okay, the minute he’d talk to me
That nothing else would matter 

I’m sorry 
I’m sorry

For assuming and consuming him like a drug in my head
I was addicted, I was addicted, I was addicted
For distracting, for how I acted, for being selfish, for what I said
I was helpless, I was helpless, I was helpless 
For every time I didn’t think things through, I didn’t stick with you 
You’re enough, you’re enough, you’re enough 

Hmm

Sorry

Lyrics: 
You jump in the deep from sky high
What are you looking for
Tell me cause I never learned to fly
Feels like a silent war

Sometimes I worry
That I will never be
Like all of these people around me 
From now on I tell myself to be free

I'll float in the air

You crush to the ground from sky high
How do you stand up again
Tell me my body doesn't wanna try
I wonder if it ever will 

Sometimes I worry (sometimes, sometimes)
That I will never be (that I, that I)
Like all these people around me (like all)
From now on I tell myself to be free (from now on)

I'll float in the air
I'll float in the air

This level, can't seem to reach
Cause no one ever taught it to me
How to be so brave to just dive into the deep 

I'll float in the air (I will float, in the air)
I'll float in the air (I will float, oh oh)

Lyrics:
If tomorrow stays the same 
Then I think I’ll disappear
I’m not made to be here today
I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave
I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave
I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave
You
 
But don’t you dare leave me instead
No, don’t you dare leave me instead

I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave
I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave

No, don’t you dare leave me instead (don’t you dare leave me instead)

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Aah Aah Aah Aah
Aah Aah Ooh Ooh Ooh
 
Like I’m a great white in the ocean where no one wants to be around
I’m not surprised, cause I might bite until all the water turns to red  
Like on a ship that’s built to wreck, the captain died, I try to swim 
Like I’m a ghost beneath your bed, no one can see me, nobody wants to 
A skeleton back in your closet, covered in dust, waiting till October
The alcohol flooding in your blood, it’s always too much, even when you’re sober 
I try to warn everyone the walls of my heart are paper thin 
No one cares, including me, cause most of the time it’s me who's been 
The one to kill, every inch of me that’s trying to do what’s right for me 
I’ll ask you one, one little thing, a simple favor, a single question 
Please, please, please
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you 
 
Don’t you dare leave me instead
Don’t you dare leave me instead

I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave (don’t you dare leave me instead, don’t you dare leave me instead)
I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave (don’t you dare, leave me instead)
