Just a voice note of something I wrote today. Just vocals.

Like a Kid Again

In a relationship, it's easy to see the negatives. In this state of mind, it's easy to want to let go. This song emphasizes the hopelessness in staying and the relief of letting go; only, relief doesn't last that long. You begin to notice the absence of your partner and you wonder what could have been. So, the perspective changes completely-- I'm willing to change myself completely for you to come back. So unhealthy, but a glimpse into how the mind changes when it has something and when it has lost it.

I'll Change by Dakota Franks

When I wrote these lyrics, I wanted to emphasize the pain in an ended relationship when one person is more invested and is, in turn, hurt more when it's over. To me, what we had meant everything. To you, everything meant nothing. You move on, and I'm left picking up my shattered pieces until my mind is ready to give you up.

Everything Meant Nothing By Dakota Franks

When I wrote these lyrics, I was tired of my overpowering emotions. I wish I could train my emotions to quit being so extreme, to quit taking over everything and ruining every relationship in my life. I wish I could deal with the difficulties in life more easily. Instead, I watch my body freeze up and lose control when I don't have control over everything. It would be so much easier if I could get my emotions in order, but it's easier said than done.

The lyrics are so beautiful in this song. It is so painful and heartbreaking. I'm so glad for this lyrical collaboration between Julia Michaels and Selena Gomez (again).

When I wrote the lyrics to this song, emotions just flowed out of me. I was in a low place, and I remember thinking, "I wish I knew how to be okay." I wish I knew how to control my emotions and not feel everything so intensely. I wish I could feel comfortable in my skin and quit feeling so anxious and overthinking.

I wrote the lyrics, edited, and sang on the track. The instrumental was made by Rebbel beats.

I am a singer/lyricist. I usually write more emotional lyrics and make pop-style music. I’m always up for a collaboration if you have any instrumentals. Or hit me up if you like the lyrics and want some help writing.
