LYRICS 

Thought you could take away a part of me, that I'd never lost 
I'm moving on so gracefully, with no extra cost 
Cause you and I were never forever 
You thought you could provoke this stormy weather 

Cause I will find a better lover than you 
For all the pain I went through 
Now I know I'm worth more than you deserve and I'm gonna put myself first 

So you thought that I would cry but these tears will dry 
and I'll be moving on 
For all my life, I've tried and tried to please everyone 
Cause you and I were never forever 
You thought you could provoke this stormy weather 

Cause I will find a better lover than you 
For all the pain I went through 
Now I know I'm worth more than you deserve and I'm gonna put myself first 

Cause I know I'm fine, to live my life without you around 
Cause in time I'll find, I'm happy to be where I am 
This life's divine and I'll be alright 

Cause I will find a better lover than you 
For all the pain I went through 
Now I know I'm worth more than you deserve and I'm gonna put myself first

Put Myself First

Empty House lyrics
Verse 1: 
For better or worse, he said "I love you" first but that's long gone in this song
Those childhood dreams, every bump and crease, used to fabricate what was at stake 
Chorus: 
You're the salt of my earth, the silence in my breath
Lingering so softly like a whisper in the air
And if I were a gypsy, my wanderlust could only lead me to you - my home, my home, my home. 
Verse 2:
For better or worse, she said, "I'll drink this first" as a puff of smoke ran through her clothes 
Chorus x 1
Bridge:
Oh fifteen years too long, 
you stole my freedom and love for good  
Chorus x 1
Verse 3:
For better or worse, she said, "I hate you" first but they're over now, they're just an empty house...


Empty House (Live Demo)

The Cliche Crush Song lyrics:

I haven’t told you about the way, 
you make me feel and make my day 
When I first met you, I knew you were something great 

Some will cringe when they hear this song,
but I don’t care just as long as you hear me say 
that I kinda like you 

Why can’t things be simple,
when I get shy to say 
that you’ve been on my mind lately,
no I can’t, I can’t say it to your face.

I think you’re witty, I think you’re sweet
And you’ve got big hands so that must mean you’ve got a big 
heart
yes, you do 

Why can’t things be simple,
when I get shy to say 
that you’ve been on my mind lately,
oh I can’t, I can’t say it to your face.

So there you go now, I've said it all 
You've stripped my ego to its very core,
are you happy? 


The Cliche Crush Song (Demo)

"Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees" - Rumi. 
Pocahontas brings back childhood memories. I remember singing this song when I was six. I only recently realised that this song resonates such a beautiful message about the human condition, compassion and benevolence.
