Still Here (Even When I'm Not) (Acoustic)

Zadig HbD

[Verse 1]
I was fadin’, lost in my own head
Chasin’ ghosts, talkin’ to my regrets
You came in like a storm in the chaotic quiet
Pulled me back when I swore I was tired
But your family says I’m no good for you
And my pride keeps me from tellin’ the truth
I’m scared to love, you’re scared to lose
And we’re both too stubborn to choose

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I see your eyes, it all falls away
All the noise, all the words we never say

[Chorus]
Let’s dance under the stars on the beach tonight
Forget the world, let the waves be our light
I’ll hold you close till the pain’s out of sight
Just you and me, and the sound of the tide
If love’s a war, I don’t care who’s right
I just wanna dance with you tonight

[Verse 2]
You’re still guarded, I overthink every move
You keep your heart like it’s somethin’ to prove
But I see the fire beneath your fear
And I swear I’ll keep you safe right here
They don’t see the way you pull me through
Every time my darkness reaches you
You don’t even know you save my soul
Just by standin’ in my glow

[Pre-Chorus]
I know the world’s been tearin’ us apart
But I’d still meet you where the waves start

[Chorus]
Let’s dance under the stars on the beach tonight
Forget the world, let the waves be our light
I’ll hold you close till the pain’s out of sight 
Just you and me, and the sound of the tide
If love’s a war, I don’t care who’s right
I just wanna dance with you tonight

[Bridge]
All these voices in my head
Tellin’ me to walk away instead
But every thought comes back to you
’Cause a love like this, it’s the only truth

[Final Chorus]
So let’s dance under the stars on the beach tonight
Let the moon paint our names in the sky
You and me — we’ll be alright
Even if the world don’t see it right
If love’s a war, I’ll still choose this fight
’Cause I just wanna dance with you tonight

[Outro]
Just you and me, where the darkness dies
Under the stars, where our hearts collide

Dance Under the Stars ft. Ash

[Verse 1]
After I’ve been gazing deep within,
I see the pain I caused, the hurt I’ve been in.
Every word I spoke, every choice I made,
Left you shattered, left your heart afraid.

I see the nights you cried alone,
I hear the silence when you turned from home.
I know I’m the one who let it all fall apart,
Now I’m just a man with a heavy heart.

[Verse 2]
I’ve been running from the shadow of my mistakes,
Counting all the bridges I watched me break.
I know I can’t undo what’s already done,
But I’m standing here, hoping for one.

One last chance to show you the change,
To take the pieces, rebuild the frame.
The man you loved still lives inside,
And I’m trying to bring him back to life.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve faced the man I never wanted to be,
I’ve seen the pain I caused in you and me.
If there’s even a whisper of love left to find,
I’ll prove I’m worthy, I’ll leave the past behind.

[Chorus]
I just wish I had one last chance,
To show you I’ve changed, to earn your glance.
I’ll be better than the last me, I swear,
Every heartbeat, every breath, I’ll care.
If forgiveness lives, if love still can,
Save me the chance to be the man I am.

[Verse 3]
I see the light in you I let slip away,
The warmth I destroyed, the words I didn’t say.
I’ve been haunted by the love I betrayed,
Now I’m learning to stand, no longer afraid.

Every tear you shed, every broken night,
Taught me how to love, how to do it right.
I can’t take it back, I can’t erase,
But I can fight for your heart, fight for your grace.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll carry every lesson, every scar I earned,
I’ve faced the pain, I’ve truly learned.
If your heart still has a place to let me in,
I’ll prove I’m better than I’ve ever been.

[Chorus]
I just wish I had one last chance,
To show you I’ve changed, to earn your glance.
I’ll be better than the last me, I swear,
Every heartbeat, every breath, I’ll care.
If forgiveness lives, if love still can,
Save me the chance to be the man I am.

[Bridge]
I know I let you down, I know I caused the pain,
I’ve carried it with me through the storm and rain.
But I’ve looked inside, faced every fear,
I’m learning to love, learning to be here.

If your heart can see the truth in me,
I’ll fight for us, endlessly.
Every broken piece has shaped the man you see,
And I’m ready now to finally be free.

[Verse 4]
I don’t expect you to forget the past,
Or pretend the hurt didn’t last.
But if you see the man I’ve come to be,
You’ll find the love I’ve finally set free.

I’ll take it slow, I’ll be patient, I’ll try,
To earn the trust I once let die.
If there’s a spark left in your heart to ignite,
I’ll be the man who stands by your side.

[Final Chorus]
I just wish I had one last chance,
To show you I’ve changed, to earn your glance.
I’ll be better than the last me, I swear,
Every heartbeat, every breath, I’ll care.
If forgiveness lives, if love still can,
Save me the chance to be the man I am.

[Outro]
After I’ve been gazing within my soul,
I see the better man I’m meant to show.
If there’s a place for us to start anew,
Save me the chance… to be with you.

One Last Chance to Be Better

I don’t wanna be right
About lovin’ you bein’ wrong
‘Cause every time I try to move on
It don’t feel like where I belong
I don’t wanna be right
If right means gone
I’d rather lose sleep than lose that tone
Yeah, I don’t wanna be right
About lovin’ you bein’ wrong

I Don't Wanna Be Right

[Verse 1]
Corner of 3rd and oblivion, streetlights flicker Morse
Dealer in the shadows, silhouette with no remorse
White gloves on the product, black heart in the brief
One gram of tomorrow, wrapped in cellophane grief
I trade the rearview for a rear-view mirror
Reflection selling futures—every line gets clearer
He says “no receipts,” I say “no regrets”
Pocket full of maybe, but the maybe’s in debt

[Pre-Chorus]
Clock hits twelve, city holds its breath
Every neon promise tastes like death
One tap on the glass, one nod in the dark
Midnight dealer—leave your mark

[Chorus]
Midnight dealer, neon in the palm
Trade my soul for the calm before the storm
One more gram of the glow, one more lie in the song
Midnight dealer—how’d we get this wrong?
Lights call my name, bass in my chest
Paradise in powder, but the powder’s a test
Midnight dealer, sell me the night
Till the dawn burns the deal out of sight

[Verse 2]
Back-alley cathedral, confession in the haze
He quotes me the scripture: “All debts must be paid”
I count out the memories—each bill is a scar
He smiles like a jackpot, hands me the star
Sirens in the distance, but the distance is kind
They’ll never catch the ghost I left behind
One bump and the city folds into a line
Midnight dealer—your clock, not mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Clock hits twelve, city holds its breath
Every neon promise tastes like death
One tap on the glass, one nod in the dark
Midnight dealer—leave your mark

[Chorus]
Midnight dealer, neon in the palm
Trade my soul for the calm before the storm
One more gram of the glow, one more lie in the song
Midnight dealer—how’d we get this wrong?
Lights call my name, bass in my chest
Paradise in powder, but the powder’s a test
Midnight dealer, sell me the night
Till the dawn burns the deal out of sight

[Bridge ]
Ayo—dealer in the trench, Saint Laurent cologne
Scales on the dash, every gram got a throne
I move like a phantom, but the phantom got receipts
Tax on your dreams, interest on the grief
You want the glow? Pay the toll in tears
I bag up your future, sell it back in years
Mom’s on the voicemail, cryin’ in the static
I mute it with a lighter—click, habit automatic
White glove, red ledger, blood on the profit
One line for the pain, one line for the prophet
City’s a casino, I’m the house, never lose
Midnight dealer—pick your poison, choose

Midnight dealer

“Rick and Roses” is pain turned to poetry, Bronx heartbreak mixed with dark rock and street soul. It’s about loving someone so deep it breaks you,but still standing tall in the ruins. The sound bleeds emotion, built from truth, trauma, and reflection.

This is Dark Bronx Rock, where love meets rage and healing wears fangs. Word to my mother, this one’s for the lost and loyal.

RICK & ROSES

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

A escola acabou, vambora!
Corre rápido, não enrola!
Vou jogar a noite inteira
Os pinballs chegaram — que vibe maneira!

Pinball, fantasia elétrica
Nada pode parar a diversão!
O mago tá na área
Então presta atenção, campeão!

Essa é a vida pra mim
Sem preocupações, só curtir assim
O fliperama tá fervendo, rapaz
Luzes e sons sensacionais demais!

Pinball, fantasia elétrica
Nada pode parar a diversão!
O mago tá na área
Então presta atenção, campeão!

Tô batendo o recorde agora
Joga a ficha, não demora!
Luzes piscam, sinos tocam
Esse jogo é demais, me empolga!

Pinball, fantasia elétrica
Nada pode parar a diversão!
O mago tá na área
Então presta atenção, campeão!

Sai do trampo, vambora!
Corre rápido, não enrola!
Vou jogar a noite inteira
Novos pinballs no Phantom — que beleza!

Pinball, fantasia elétrica
Nada pode parar a diversão!
O mago do pinball chegou
Então presta atenção, campeão!

Essa é a vida pra mim
Sem preocupações, só curtir assim
O fliperama Phantom tá vivo, rapaz
Com luzes e sons sensacionais demais!

Pinball, fantasia elétrica
Nada pode parar a diversão!
O mago do pinball chegou
Então presta atenção, campeão!

Tô batendo o recorde agora
Joga a ficha, não demora!
A vida só melhora, é fato
Tanta diversão — que espetáculo exato!

Pinball, fantasia elétrica
Nada pode parar a diversão!
O mago do pinball chegou
Então presta atenção, campeão!

This Afternoon With You

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I wish I could disappear
Return to who I was before
Don’t know why I’m still here
Still walking back through your door

[Chorus]
Can’t give up now
We’ve come too far
Can’t throw it all away
Even though I want out
My chest feels tight
But I just can’t give up now
Can’t give up now

[Verse 2]
I wonder what you’d do without me
I guess we’ll never get to know
I want to see who else I could be
But I’m standing on frozen ground below

[Chorus]
Can’t give up now
We’ve come too far
Can’t throw it all away
Even though I want out
My chest feels tight
But I just can’t give up now
Can’t give up now

[Bridge]
I want to turn and go
But I can’t be the one to break through
So I stay in the same room
Hoping you feel this weight too

[Chorus]
But we can’t give up now
We’ve come too far
We can’t throw it all away
Even though we want out
Our hearts feel tight
But we just can’t give up now
Can’t give up now

Can't Give Up

WHAT I COULDNT BE TO YOU is a deeply personal and meticulously crafted 13-track exploration of love's complex architecture: its beginning, its breaking point, and its aftermath. This album establishes a dialogue between intense passion and profound resignation.
The journey begins with the undeniable pull of "Stars on Fire" and the cold reality of shared histories, as captured in "That's What You Told Me." The record progresses through pivotal moments of departure ("The First Goodbye") and shifts in perspective ("It's Not What It Looks Like"), seeking resolution where "Love Finds a Way."
However, the core of the album lies in confronting what isn't "Perfect Anymore" and the silent, inward turn of tracks like "Not Even About You" and "Wish I Never Met You." The final chapters acknowledge the unspent potential—the truth in "I Wasn't Done Loving You" and the private narrative that is "What They Don't See."
WHAT I COULDNT BE TO YOU is an honest record about reaching the point of acceptance, moving from declaring "I Love You More" to facing the difficult truth of "I Wasn't Ready to Be Replaced
