The storm is coming
it's been building up all day 
I felt it rumbling from miles away
I know it's going to rain sometimes
and now dark clouds are rolling in ....

I can't tame it
I can't stop it
I don't want to hide from it...

It feels so different now
From past storms. rolling through 
the difference is, my love, I've got you...

[Chorus]
The day you gave me your last name 
You said, you'd kiss me through the rain
I know you will love me through this pain

So let the rain beat down
let it turn everything upside down
there's no other place
I'd rather be right now

You know...
The parts of me that were broken 
had nothing to do with you 
You saw past the pain
You said, it won't scare me away
I'm going to love you anyway

Let the rain soak the ground
that I'm standing on
let it heal my soul, down to my roots
I don't want to be afraid of healing
I want to heal for you

For once in my life
I don't have to be the strong one 
I don't have to be the wrong one 
standing in the storm alone

I found safe shelter in your arms
the sweetest love to call my own
the most powerful love I've ever known

If it's going to storm
Let the thunder roll 
let it take or give what it will
when the storm cleared
You said... I'm still here

When I feel weak, and short on strength
You say, honey, that's ok
Take mine, take all you need
when things get rough
there's plenty for the both of us...
You'll see...

[Chorus]
The day you gave me your last name 
You said, you'd kiss me through the rain
I know you will love me through this pain

So let the rain beat down
let it turn everything upside down
there's no other place
I'd rather be right now

So let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
I can finally see the beauty in this day 

Let it rain...
Let it rain

The Storm

We all have moments we want to run, hide, or close the door for good—but sometimes, the bravest thing is choosing to stay. “You Stayed” is an honest anthem for the nights you almost let go and the mornings you found someone still by your side. For everyone who ever doubted they could be loved through the worst and were proven wrong. Thank you for staying, even when I couldn’t.

You Stayed

Dedicated to my Dad, who by example, was always "showing me the ropes".  He said if you want something... go get it. No one is going to hand it to you.  I miss you Dad...thank you for all you taught me.

[Verse]
The current pulls me far and wide
No anchor to hold me down
But I don't mind
What I can't yet see
The ocean whispers
come explore the deep with me

[Verse]
Under the glow of the
 disco ball moon
The waves dance
They call my name
They say, luv take a chance
On life's great unknowns
I said, Okay...
The Great Unknown 
Is where I'll stake my claim

[Chorus]
How can I be lost, when I feel so free?
I cast-away all the things, I don't wanna be 
I'll go wherever the compass leads
Just like my Daddy did, when he sailed the 7 seas, before me 

He told me
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams

( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 
( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 

[Bridge]
Sometimes the bitter cold, sea winds blow 
How I'll survive, I really don't know
 my blue skies, turn inky black from angry storms
when my hull is tossed and battered
and all my sails are ripped and torn 

[Bridge]
But I survived 
Why is it, that's when I feel the most alive???
I feel alive !

My sea legs are steady
I raise mended sails with my bare hands  
I have known since
I was a little girl 
my feet were never meant for sand
They were never meant for sand

[Chorus]
How can I be lost, when I feel so free?
I cast away all the things, I don't wanna be 
I'll go wherever the compass leads
Just like my Daddy did, when he sailed the 7 seas, before me

He told me 

my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams

( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 
( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 

The current pulls me far and wide
No anchor to hold me down
But I don't mind

because I know what it means ...
 I'll always be chasing dreams

RIGGED

Hey guys ! If you like my music, hit the like and repost ! Thank you  ; ) 

[Verse]
 I gave my honey, a honey-do-list
Honey said "no-can-do, did you, forget about my fishing trip?
 I'll do it when I get back, you can count on that
I'll be back in a week, baby you sure look sweet"

[Verse]

I woke up this morning, made my coffee with Bailey's Irish cream
I have the house to myself for a week, every married woman's dream
I'm planning my day, full of nothing but me 
Maybe tidy up the house a little, maybe do some light laundry

[Bridge]

I’m thinking bubble baths, a little day drinkin'
Clear my head, with a little less thinkin'
Got my bunny slippers on and a book in my hand
But the universe
Oooh She had other plans

[Chorus]
When life gives you lemons you squeeze ‘em real tight
Add a little sugar and you’ll be alright
I bet you a fiver, I can fix this like MacGyver
 I can be a "fix- it" chick
I can get it get it fixed quick 


[Verse]
Oh No! The washer’s spinning like it’s ready to launch
I try to open the damn lid, but the lid is locked 
It might help if I set down my glass of Merlot
Let's see how this is gonna go 
 I'll watch a washer repair You-Tube video

I got this
(ay, ay, ay,)
I got this 
(ay, ay, ay)

[Verse]

I sit down to relax with a rum and coke
Oh no! The dog ate the remote
I poke her belly, to turn the TV on 
She looks at me like, Dog Mom? seriously?
 Thank God the last channel I was watchin'
was Crime TV

I got this
I got this

The garbage disposal is on the fritz
Honestly, I don't need any of this, 
I grab the broom handle, lodge it against the blades 
 I grind in a circular motion, with a firm hold
Just like a stripper on a stripper pole

(I'm just kidding) 

I got this
I got this

[Chorus]
When life gives you lemons you squeeze ‘em real tight
Add a little sugar and you’ll be alright
I bet you a fiver, I can fix this like MacGyver
I can be a "fix- it" chick
I can get it get it fixed quick 

I got this
I got this 
I got this

I Got This

Verse 1
Just got home and found your note
Folded by the coffee can— just three words you wrote
Said “I’ll do better”—truth is, that takes two
We let it ride too long—now I lost you
I’ll take my share—write it plain to see
It wasn’t all you, and it wasn’t all me
Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I ain’t takin’ all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
The other half is you.
Verse 2
Empty spot on the wall and a busted frame
Calendar stuck on June—every square looks the same
I won’t go tellin’ our good friends what all we’ve been through
I’ll carry my half and leave the rest with you
If this is goodbye, you know I'll always take your call
And I'lll still be that shoulder you might need afterall
Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I ain’t takin’ all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
The other half is you.
Bridge
We'll let the rain talk for us, and we'll just let it pour
Hope you find the peace you're lookin' for
Final Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I can't take all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
And baby, so are you.

Halfway Guilty

When I wake up, I don’t wanna
Face the mirror, I'm a goner
Fake my cool, my chest gets hotter
It burns like soda in my veins
Missed that moment, lost that dollar
Scuffed up ego, hot on the collar
Buzzin’ head, where's the gain?
Nobody’s driving me sane

You talk slick, I can’t stand it
Go ahead, tear your bandage
You just want to drag my name
While I cave in, you play savage
God, I hate it — but I manage
You make me sort of enjoy the pain

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up feelin’ like a fake, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up - next to my mistakes, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Lose my place or lose my grip
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up - just to exist

Keep on loopin’, thoughts keep shootin’
Half alive and half rebootin’
Hold my breath like it’s a stunt
Play that role and keep disputin’
Truth’s diluted, mind’s polluted
Choke me gently, call it blunt

You're so proud, I can’t mute it
Tear me down and refute it
You make me want to burn places I've seen
But I still stay, barely rooted
Freaking out, wired, deluded
You make me wanna claw through my screen

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up feelin’ like a fraud, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up prayin’ - oh my god, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Keep losing sleep I can’t recall
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Keep being your light in the hall

Told myself that it gets better
But I’m still taped up with tether
Every day I come undone
Take my face off, switch the weather
If I break, well, call it clever
Say I ran — but I never run

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up stitched into a mask, oh
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Rehearse answers, you never ask, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Chase the lines that they made bleed
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Wake up just to not succeed
