A song about the agony of deciding whether to settle down or not and society's expectations around that.

Verse 1
Everyone knows better than me
What I should be wanting out of life and… what I need
To live happily
For eternity

Verse 2
Maybe one day I’ll stop settling up and settle down 
And maybe you’re the one that’s still around
When it comes to that
Would you wanna bet?

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet

Verse 3
Everyone seems to be looking for love
That special someone Disney made us all dream of
From our early days
Like there’s no other way

Verse 4 
Maybe I’m just cynical and secretly crave
That smiling knight in shining armour, so handsome and brave 
Enough to take my hand
And finally understand

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet

Bridge
At 25, there was still so much life
Ahead, at 29, we all still had plenty of time
At 33, I still wanted nothing but to be free
While half my friends had disappeared into their families
At 34 I wonder if the door’s still open
Or/and if a part of me is actually hoping 
For something I never thought I wanted
And if I don’t get it I’ll forever be haunted
Or if do, I’ll wake up from someone else’s dream
To find a fairytale you’re trapped in is nightmarish scene

Verse 5
Everyone wants someone to hold
If I search long enough I’ll find a fitting nut for this bolt 
Or some other cliché
Will take my breath away

Verse 6
But maybe there’s more than one way to live your life
And maybe mine doesn’t involve two kids and a guy
Or maybe I’ll look back (one day)
On what I could have had…

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet...

Thank you for listening !!🙏🙂

i just love the creativity,its so rewarding in its self, myself being a work in progress/ I also consider my music to be the same...Love & ☮️ peace

After many years listened to music by e.g. The Police, Joy Division, U2, New Order, Sex Pistols, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Thin Lizzy, Verve, Kent, Killers, Thåström, Garbage, David Bowie and Depeche Mode etc I'm out of the wardrobe :)
I love so many music styles - too many? It's hard to categorizing me. I'm like a chameleon, likes Rock, Pop, Alternative, Punk, Post Punk, Electronica, New Wave and Indie. How could I become like this?

Hello! Iam an amateur singer/songwriter with a lot of passion for singing and Music.  I mostly sing originals,  but also covers . I like to write lyrics with meaning, something people can relate to. Not necessaraly my own experiences, it can be something i heard, seen or something someone  told me.
I also make music in GarageBand with small loops I put together. 
I am very impressed with how many talented people there is on Soundcloud! And so much love and kindness!
Thank you all for listening,  likes, reposting and comments! It really means a lot to me❤️
(My own originals sounds best with ear phones )
I also have a YouTube channel with the same nick name 🎵
Take care!🥰
