Great track, Brett. Lots of energy to this. x

Vou-Chorar

I wrote this song about the longing for a kind word when you deserve it the least.

Save Your Kindest Word

TO YOU

HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN LIKE THIS
CONSUMED IN THE SHADOW OF MY OWN ARMS
AND HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN HERE LIKE THIS
WITH HIS ESSENCE TANGLED IN MINE

IT USED TO BE I OFFERED UP MY SOUL
FILLED WITH ALL THE COLORS YOUR EYES CAN HOLD
NOW I SEE SOME THINGS THAT CAN PERSUADE
TO LOOK BEYOND THIS PLACE

AND I TELL YOU THAT I’M FINE
WORDS OF WISDOM IF YOU’RE BLIND
I WON’T TAKE A LOT OF YOUR TIME TO TELL YOU

THAT I’VE ALWAYS LOVED YOUR SMILE
AND I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE KIND
AND I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
FROM THE FIRST DAY WE MET
THAT WE WOULD ALWAYS TRY

WE SHOULD FACE THE THINGS
THAT WERE MEANT TO BE SEEN
TO LISTEN TO REASON TO EACH SIDE
SO WE CAN BREATHE A LITTLE CLOSER TO BOTH
AND LOVE THERE WE WILL FIND
AND LOVE THERE WE WILL FIND
