I just love that feeling of falling in love... the despair of losing love... the hope of finding love again. Damn Girl, it never ends until the music stops and the great dance is over. Until then, pain and joy will be in abundance and experienced with equal measure. Savor it all my friends and appreciate what you have and the time you have been given. Peace!

Confessions from the Lost Café

I got these snakes around my neck
And I got these diamonds on my chest
They say I look like I just got paid
They say I look like I should have stayed
But I do anything I want

I got these dreams inside my head
And I can't stop thinking 'bout my ex
They say I look like I just got laid
And then they ask if I know my name
But I do anything I want

I got a bad habit
Of loving what I can't have
Can't have it
But I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)

I got my head up in the clouds
And I got these demons pulling me down
They say I look like I just got high
And then they ask if I wanna die
But I do anything I want

I got a bad habit
Of loving what I can't have
Can't have it
But I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)
I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)

I got a bad habit (I got a bad habit)
I got a bad habit (I got a bad habit)
I got a bad habit (I got a bad habit)
I got a bad habit (I got a bad habit)

I got a bad habit
Of loving what I can't have
Can't have it
But I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)
I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)
I'll do anything I want
(But I'll do anything I want)

Anything I want

Confessions

ENVIE - Kiss Me Forever

I wanted to have fun with this album, so a lot of the songs are upbeat and lighthearted.  However, I included the song, "I Tried," on this album that is essentially what I want the last words said about me to be.  Cohesively, this is an album about making things that don't seem like they should go together prove that differences should not pull us apart.

Changing

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

You left me at my worst, girl,
Not sure how to recover now.
I am so hurt and lost, it's crazy,
How can I make this work again?

Why, oh why, girl, tell me,
Did you let me go now?
Just when I needed you the most,
My life forever changed, girl.

I don't know if I'll be okay,
Still feel the weight of yesterday.
But I know I need to step away,
Find the strength to heal someday.

I don't know if I can forgive,
Leaving me at my worst moment.
I will rebuild, I will rise again,
It will take so much courage.

Nights feel longer, air feels thin,
Trapped inside where love has been.
Every corner calls your name,
Yet nothing here still feels the same.

No more drowning, no more pain,
Gotta learn to breathe again.
One last tear, one last goodbye,
No more looking back this time.

I don't know if I'll be okay,
Still feel the weight of yesterday.
But I know I need to step away,
Find the strength to heal someday.

I will come back from this, girl,
I will be stronger than ever.
You will see a new man rise up,
And my heart will no longer be yours.

Maybe love will find me again,
Maybe I'll learn how to trust.
But for now, I walk away,
Leaving behind what’s turned to dust.

How To Trust Again

(from Noir)
I wrote this when I realized I talk more in 16 bars than I ever do in therapy. It’s about treating healing like a checklist and turning pain into content. Every verse was a session. Some hit harder than others.

Sessions

Sweat of Devotion

All Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Hey, wake up — you’re missing the show
Sky's on fire and you don’t even know
City lights can’t kill this glow
But it’s nothing like you, nothing like you

I light a smoke, let the silence talk
You shift, smile — yeah, that’s the spark
Every time I try to play it cool
You tear right through

I see stars every time, girl
When you pull me in that close
You wreck me soft, then save my soul
Like you already know
You're the storm and the calm, the ride and the fall
And I swear on this messed-up world
I see stars every time, girl

You laugh like you’ve seen my scars
Like you know just where they are
Even the dark feels safer now
With your chaos wrapped around

You dance barefoot on broken glass
Say “love ain't real unless it lasts”
I wanna ask you if you're mine
But the words get stuck every time

I see stars every time, girl
When your shadow’s in my light
You make love feel like a streetfight
But I want it every night
You’re the crash and the cure, the truth and the blur
And I’d burn just to hold your world
I see stars every time, girl

You're in my veins, no antidote
Got me writing songs in cigarette smoke
I ain’t sure what you’re feeling, babe
But I’d bleed just to hear you say

That maybe you see the same damn sky
When you're lying there, closing your eyes
And maybe I’m not just some phase
You’ll forget in time

So I’ll keep biting back these words
Till my silence starts to hurt
But if you gave me just one sign
I’d flip this world, make you mine

No diamonds, no cliché lines
Just my heart and battle lines
You want real? Then take this fire
Set it all on fire

I see stars every time, girl
When you’re tangled up in me
You make love feel like a war
But I fall so willingly
You’re the sin and the prayer, the spark and the flare
And I’d lose it all for your world
I see stars every time, girl

I See Stars Everytime

Pink devil

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

We’ve been laughing for hours
Over nothing at all
Telling stories and secrets
In the glow of nightfall

I love the way you wrinkle
Your nose when you grin
Girl, with you beside me
I feel like I can win

Spending time with you, girl
Has been amazing, my love
You light up every moment
Like sunshine from above

Let’s get higher together
No limits, just you and me
I'll be your wings, your laughter
The best that love can be

Loving you is so fine
You make me smile all day
Just one look and oh my
You take my breath away

Loving you is so fine
Like a song stuck in my head
Dancing through this life with you
I’m loving every step

Girl, let me make you mine
Let’s not waste one more kiss
Let’s write our own adventure
With chapters full of bliss

You giggle, I melt inside
Your touch is like a spark
You turn the ordinary
Into fireworks in the dark

Loving you is so fine
You make me smile all day
Just one look and oh my
You take my breath away

Loving you is so fine
Like a breeze on summer nights
I’m floating on this feeling
You're my sweetest light

I’ll hold your hand through it all
From lazy days to curtain calls
You're my rhythm, you're my rhyme
Let’s love like it’s our first time

Loving you is so fine
You’re my laughter, you’re my muse
Got me singing to the sky
Like I’ve got nothing to lose

Loving you is so fine
It’s a melody divine
And every beat of my heart
Is glad that you are mine

Loving You is So Fine

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Oh baby, baby, you’ve gotta run
I’m a loaded gun, what’s done is done
There’s no saving a soul like mine
So leave this mess, don’t waste your time

I’m a sinner, lost and blind
Chasing demons I can't unwind
Every choice just digs me deep
There’s no redemption left for me

I see the fear behind your eyes
When I come home late, blood on my mind
These hands ain't clean, they never were
And loving me, girl, that's a curse

The night is cold, the streets are cruel
I traded dreams for broken rules
And now the reaper’s on my tail
One wrong move, it’s curtains, jail

Don’t wait up, don’t waste your tears
You deserve a love that don’t bring fear

I'm a sinner, girl, can’t you see?
This path I walk, it don’t set you free
Leave the light on, but don’t wait for me
I'm a sinner, yeah, I’ll always be

I used to think I’d turn it 'round
But I’m too deep, can’t hear a sound
The silence screams inside my head
Every friend I had now ends up dead

You held me up, you saw the good
But I just dragged you through the mud
Your touch, your voice — my only peace
But I’d rather break than see you bleed

So run far, don’t say goodbye
Let my memory fade with time

I'm a sinner, girl, can’t you see?
My love's a weight that’ll drown you deep
I’d rather lose than let you weep
I'm a sinner, yeah, don’t wait for me

If I had a different soul
I’d give you love, I’d make you whole
But my hands are tied, the dye is cast
And my future’s fading fast

So walk away, don't turn around
Let the angels lift you off this ground
You were my light in this endless fight
But I belong to the night

I'm a sinner, it’s how I’ll die
But I’ll love you still, beyond goodbye
So live your life, don’t waste it on mine
I'm a sinner… till the end of time

I'm A Sinner

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Oh my—what now, girl?
What’s been going on with you?
You don’t pick up the phone
Like you’ve got better things to do

Are we done now? Have you left?
Was I blind and missed the signs?
Don’t leave me hanging on this ledge
I thought forever meant all time

You’ve been cold, you’ve been far
Like I’m a stranger in your past
Was I just a phase to you?
Another spark that couldn’t last?

Tell me something, tell me why
Was it something I didn’t see?
‘Cause I would’ve moved the sky
To keep you here with me

Girl, say it’s still true
Say I still mean something to you
That this love ain't fading fast
That we can fight to make it last

Girl, say it’s not real
Tell me that’s not how you feel
That you're not done, not through
Girl… say it’s not true

I see photos of you laughing
Like I was never part of your days
It’s cruel how you’ve moved forward
While I’m stuck inside this haze

You said we had something rare
Now you're gone without a sound
I built my world around your smile
Now it’s crashing to the ground

Girl, if there’s nothing left to feel
Just say it straight, don’t fake what’s real
But if there’s one last piece of you
Then I’ll be waiting like I do

Girl, say it’s not true
Say I still mean something to you
That you miss the way we were
That there’s still fire under the hurt

Girl, say it’s not done
That I’m not the only one
Still holding on to me and you
Girl… say it’s not true

Say you’re not letting go
That we’ve still got room to grow
I’d believe it all if you
Just said it’s not true

Say Its Not True

All Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

I knew you were different, girl
Something new caught me off guard
Made me look at you again
You had me intrigued from the start

Meet me at the Lost Café tonight
Let’s chat and get to know each other
This could be something special, girl
No way I let you slip away tonight

Laughing and talking is so easy
With you, tonight it’s so strange
Just met you, but I’ve known you all my life
No other girl has has felt this change

Tell me what it is, girl—why?
It’s like you’re from a different time
Reminds me of an old black-and-white movie
What the heck is going on in my mind?

I met my soulmate at the Lost Café
We were strangers, but it felt fated that day
One look, and I forgot my name
One smile, and I’ll never be the same 

Please tell me you feel it too, girl
That I’m not the only one caught in this light
The more time I spend, the more it's clear
I never want to leave your sight
What about you feels so right?

The night turns to dawn so quickly
Still here talking, laughing softly
You ask me what I’m doing today
I just smile—'cause you already know me

I met soulmate at the Lost Café
We were strangers, but it felt fated that day
One look, and I forgot my name
One smile, and I’ll never be the same 

Now every song reminds me of your face
Every heartbeat falls right into place
The way you laugh, the way you tilt your head
Feels like I’ve read your lines before they’re said

Girl, you turned my world around so fast
Turned a fleeting moment into something that lasts
I don't know what tomorrow will be
But if you’re in it—that’s enough for me

 We met at the Lost Café, girl
It was like a dream I never had
I enjoyed every second with you
And your smile says you did too 

So meet me again at the Lost Café
Where forever began in just one day
If we never make it past this day,
If life should pull us different ways,

And if you ever lose your way…
I’ll be waiting at the Lost Café.

The Lost Cafe

let me feel nothing

I see music in the stars, I hear music when I sleep, its a never ending story... Paulo Sergio Carvalho, known to the music world as iPauloSergio, was born in the stunning city of Ponta Delgada in the Azores, Portugal. His early years were enriched by the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of the islands. At the tender age of 13, Paulo discovered his passion for music, immersing himself in the sounds of the piano, keyboards, and guitar. This early exposure laid the foundation for his lifelong love of music and set him on a path to become a multifaceted musician.

Paulo’s music is a rich tapestry woven from a wide array of influences. He admires legends such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan for their storytelling prowess, while also drawing inspiration from the melodic genius of Billy Joel and the powerful anthems of Journey and Van Halen. Furthermore, the innovative sounds of electronic pop icons like Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode can be felt in his work. This fusion of genres reflects Paulo's ability to connect with a diverse audience and create music that resonates on multiple levels.

In addition to his solo pursuits, Paulo has collaborated with fellow musician iGracie to write songs for various bands, including the country outfit Devils and Debutantes and the indie rock group Love Bomb Poets Society. These partnerships have allowed him to explore different musical styles and expand his songwriting repertoire, blending heartfelt lyrics with catchy melodies that appeal to listeners across genres.
