[Verse 1]
They left it at my doorstep, no note, no name
Just a wooden box, locked up with chains
I fumble with the key, hands trembling tight
What’s inside could change my life tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Would I find my innocence? The dreams I let slip?
The love that I lost? The words I once missed?
I take a deep breath, and I lift the lid…

[Chorus]
Oh, the box holds every tear, every time I walked away
Every promise left unspoken, every wish I couldn’t say
Would I hold them close or let them go?
What do you do with the past when it finally shows?

[Verse 2]
A photograph, edges frayed with time
A letter I wrote but never did sign
Laughter in echoes, a song left unsung
Shadows of moments I wish I'd undone

[Pre-Chorus]
Would I find my courage? The heart I once had?
The days I wasted, the love I let crash?
I take a deep breath, and I lift the lid…

[Chorus]
Oh, the box holds every tear, every time I walked away
Every promise left unspoken, every wish I couldn’t say
Would I hold them close or let them go?
What do you do with the past when it finally shows?

[Bridge]
Do I gather the pieces, try to make them whole?
Or set them all free and lighten my soul?
Maybe the past is a lesson, not a cage
Maybe it's time to turn the page

[Outro]
So I close the box, place it back on the floor
Not everything lost needs to be restored
I walk away lighter, let the echoes fade
Some things are meant to stay that way...

Make You Love Me

“How do you heal when half your heart is gone?” is a heartfelt ballad that gently addresses the pain and resilience of those left behind when a loved one goes off to war and never returns. The song is written from the perspective of a close friend or confidant, offering empathy and quiet support to someone who has lost their partner in conflict.
You can expect a deeply emotional journey through grief, longing, and the silent strength required to carry on. The verses paint vivid scenes of empty rooms, cherished memories, and daily rituals that now serve as reminders of absence. The chorus, repeating “No word from the front, no word at all,” captures the endless waiting and unanswered questions that haunt those left behind. The song’s tone is intimate and compassionate, with lyrics that acknowledge the listener’s sorrow without offering false hope, instead promising steadfast presence and understanding.
The listener can expect a moving and relatable narrative, a song that validates the experience of loss and honors the enduring love that remains after tragedy. It’s a tribute to the strength found in vulnerability and the power of simply being there for someone when words are not enough.
This is a song for quiet moments, for those seeking comfort, solidarity, and recognition of their silent battles.

Can't You Just Let Me Be?

[Verse 1]
Velvet nights, a fever in disguise
We’re chasing fire underneath the desert sky
Every mirror’s bending truth and light
In this kingdom where the rules don’t apply

[Pre-Chorus]
Your shadow’s moving closer,
Glass of silver rain in your hand
Whispers sound like promises,
And I forget where I am

[Chorus]
Vegas – where the angels learn to fall
Vegas – hearts are paper on the wall
Vegas – every secret has a stage
We burn, we fade, we play the game

[Verse 2]
Red perfume lingers in the hall
Cards are falling, but I’m not afraid to lose it all
We’re both a riddle, written in champagne
Bodies speaking louder than our names

[Pre-Chorus]
Your eyes, a quiet thunder,
Lighting up the dark of the strip
Every sin is borrowed time,
But tonight I’m giving in

[Chorus]
Vegas – where the angels learn to fall
Vegas – hearts are paper on the wall
Vegas – every secret has a stage
We burn, we fade, we play the game

[Bridge]
Roulette spinning, but we’re the dice
Every kiss another roll of life
Heaven’s out of reach, but hell’s too tame
Here in Vegas, nothing feels the same

(Ooooh, Vegas…)
We’re alive, we’re undone,
(Ooooh, Vegas…)
Neon beats like a drum

[Final Chorus]
Vegas – where the angels learn to fall
Vegas – love’s a mirror in the hall
Vegas – every secret has a stage
We burn, we fade, we play the game

[Outro]
And when the sun breaks through the haze,
I’ll still be haunted by your face in Vegas.

Can't You Just Let Me Be?
