Wish I Could Hold You

Verse 1
Sometimes I think it was wasted time 
The times I spent with you 
But you were the best mistake 
That I ever made 

Sometimes I think the time I lost 
Would never come back to me
But sometimes we grieve unnecessarily
Like the game has already been played

Chorus 1
Through the highs and lows
I learned to grow
Now every moment, every twist 
Every turn I know

You were the spark 
That lit up my way
That you were the light
On my darkest day

Verse 2
Sometimes I see that the time we spent 
Had a different purpose for me
You were the one who brought me to a place
A place where I could finally see

Chorus 2
Through the highs and lows
I’ve learned to grow
Now every moment, every twist 
Every turn I know

That You were the spark 
That lit up my way
That you were the light
On my darkest day

Bridge
We started out as friends
And ended up there too
We thought that we might be more
But that never came true

What you revealed to me
Was that I needed more than you
I needed faith in God
And we prayed and that came true

Chorus 3
Now through the highs and lows
I’ve learned to grow
Now every moment, every twist 
Every turn I know

You were the spark 
That lit up my way
You were the light
On my darkest day

Outro
Now through the highs and lows
I’ve learned to grow
Now every moment, every twist 
Every turn I know

You were the spark 
That lit up my way
You were the light
On my darkest day

You were the light
On my darkest day
You were the light
On my darkest day
  
And my darkest day
Became my brightest day
My brightest day
My brightest day
My brightest day


My Brightest Day

Forever together

The sun went down but I stayed dark
Lost myself in the waves at the park
No signal, no buzz, no beacon to see
My phone was off just like me

Why didn't you call is what you said
But I was lost inside my head
Silent as a night with no stars in the sky
My phone was off and so was I

Time dripped slow like honey on stone
A quiet rebellion I faced alone
No excuses, no lies, just the raw truth bare
I wasn’t plugged in I wasn’t aware

Why didn't you call is what you said
But I was lost inside my head
Silent as a night with no stars in the sky
My phone was off and so was I

Airplanes hum but they don’t land
Clock spins free in an empty hand
I hear your voice but I can’t reply
I was shut down no reason why

Now I’m back in the rhythm you crave
Blame it on the break that I gave
Wasn’t the world just too much to see
My phone was off just like me

Why didn't you call is what you said
But I was lost inside my head
Silent as a night with no stars in the sky
My phone was off and so was I

Cruella - Why Didn't You Call?

Rebel Ways

[Verse 1:] Daddy taught me young how to hold my ground  Shotgun wisdom, never backin’ down (down) Front porch lessons with a silent grin  "You don’t start the fight, but you better win" Whiskey’s on the shelf, Sunday hymns in the air Small-mind roots with a devil-fearing flair This old road was paved with fire and grace Yeah, rebel, rebel, that's just my place
[Chorus:] That’s just how I was raised, livin’ wild and untamed Don’t care what they say, some things don’t ever change That’s just how I was raised, runnin’ fast in the rain Heart on fire, baby, born to break the chains
[Verse 2:] Got a crew that lives for the thrill of the chase Moonlight madness, we’re outta place Spinnin’ tires where the rules don’t bind Freedom’s a state of my reckless mind Danger’s the rhythm, and we dance in the dark Every scar’s a story, every fight’s a mark This town tried to tame us, but it’s too late We’re rebels, baby, and that’s our fate
[Chorus:] That’s just how I was raised, livin’ wild and untamed Don’t care what they say, some things don’t ever change That’s just how I was raised, runnin’ fast in the rain Heart on fire, baby, born to break the chains
[Bridge:] western skies with a whiskey kiss Broken hearts in a world like this Daddy’s voice echoin’, "Stand tall, don’t fall" It’s a rebel’s life, and I’m givin’ it my all
[Outro:] Rebel, rebel, yeah, it’s in my veins Carved in the dirt and the fall in’ rain Raise your glass, let the whiskey blaze That’s just how I was raised, yeah, rebel ways.

Rebel ways

"I’m Not the One Who Made You Cry" is a heartfelt pop ballad about carrying the weight of someone else’s pain, while trying to prove you’re different from the ones who hurt them. It’s a song for anyone who's ever loved someone still healing from a broken past — a gentle reminder that not every heart is out to break another. Vulnerable, honest, and full of emotion. 🎶

im not the one who made you cry

I watched you walk along the shore
In silence I could not ignore
In your eyes, the world stood still
And I could feel the chill

And the river knows, it carries our names
Through the darkest days, and the ancient flames
You and I, we fade away
But the river knows, and it will stay

I called your name in whispered prayer
But you were gone, and I despaired
And yet I wait for a sign of grace
In the shadows of your fading face
 
And the river knows, it carries our names
Through the darkest days, and the ancient flames
You and I, we fade away
But the river knows, and it will stay

I see you now, a distant ghost
But the river’s kiss is all I know
And in its depths, I hear your song
In the water, where we will belong

And the river knows, it carries our names
Through the darkest days, and the ancient flames
You and I, we fade away
But the river knows, and it will stay

We’ll never be free, but we’ll always be near
In the river’s flow, no need to fear
And though you’re gone, your love remains
The river knows, it knows our pains 
 
It carries our names
Through the darkest days, and the ancient flames
You and I, we fade away
But the river knows, and it will stay
