[Verse 1 – Light strut]
Met him on a Tuesday, didn’t plan to stay
But he raised one brow, and I lost my way
He said something smart
With a half-cocked grin
And I answered back just to reel him in


---

[Pre-Chorus – Teasing]
He leans in like it’s nothing
I tilt back like it’s a dare
It’s not a trap
But I know he’s there


---

[Chorus – Flirt-fueled energy]
I’m living the life
Whatever this is
A little too close
For just a "what if"
If it’s not love
It’s a hell of a rush
And no, I’m not falling—
I’m dancing too much


---

[Verse 2 – Playful and layered]
We bet on names
And I let him win
He said I smile
Like I sin
I told him careful
He told me “please”
So I kissed the air
And left him weak in the knees


---

[Pre-Chorus – Repeat with wink]
He leans in like it’s nothing
I lean back like it’s mine
If we’re pretending—
Then damn, it’s fine


---

[Chorus – Repeat with backing vocal lift]


---

[Bridge – Drop to bassline + smirk]
This isn’t forever
It’s better than that
It’s the kind of night
That never looks back


---

[Final Chorus – Brightest, strongest, loose-laugh delivery]
I’m living the life
Whatever this is
Fast lane rhythm
And soft-skin bliss
If it’s not love
It’s still got my trust
I’m not saying I need him—
But he might need us

Living The Life

[Verse 1 – Calm, reflective]
She walks like a match
Ready to strike
Says things sideways
Then smiles like light
And every time
I tell myself
“This is fine—just don’t fall in.”
But I’m already halfway gone again


---

[Pre-Chorus – Honest, small lift]
She’s not safe
But she’s real
And I never liked
The way quiet feels


---

[Chorus – Open, warm, admiring]
I’m holding the fire in my hand
No gloves, no shield—no plan
It might burn, it might scar
But God, I’ve never seen
A flame like her
She’s a storm dressed like a spark
And I’m not backing down
From the dark


---

[Verse 2 – More personal]
She talks like a dare
Laughs like she’s dared herself
Keeps her heart locked up
But the key’s on her shelf
And every time
I walk away
She pulls me back
Without a word
And I never want to stay—
But I don’t want to be cured


---

[Pre-Chorus – Repeat with deeper tone]
She’s not easy
But she’s true
And I’ve never liked
Safe rooms with no view


---

[Chorus – Repeat]


---

[Bridge – Soft, clear]
They say don’t touch
But they’ve never felt
What it’s like
To be melted well


---

[Final Chorus – Richer vocal, slow intensity build]
I’m holding the fire in my hand
And I’d do it all again
I don’t want peace
If peace is cold
I’ll take the heat
Of something bold

She’s the fire
I’ll never demand
But I’ll hold her
As long as I can

Fire In My Hand


[Verse 1 – Bare, almost whispered]
If I speak too loud
The moment breaks
So I’ll say it quiet
For silence’s sake

I wanted more
But I gave enough
And that has to be
What I call love


---

[Chorus – Soft, warm, final]
Say it quiet
Let the night take hold
Let the sky
Be the one that’s bold
I don't need
A final scene
Just a place
Where I was seen


---

[Verse 2 – Gentle reflection]
I left a note
No words inside
But maybe grace
Is what I tried

If I couldn’t fix
The path I tread
I hope you walk it
Better instead


---

[Chorus – Repeat with soft harmony]


---

[Bridge – Almost a prayer]
Hold them close
The ones I missed
Say my name
But not like this

Breathe me out
With no demand
And if you can—
Understand


---

[Final Chorus – Fading]
Say it quiet
Like a lullaby
Not goodbye
Just passing by
I don’t need
To stay or shine
Just a whisper
Once…
That I was mine

Say It Quiet

[Verse 1]
I felt the knife before the pain
Didn’t think. Didn’t flinch.
I shielded life the best I could
But something had to give an inch

I chose warmth over war
Set the match down to cool
Tried to be less than the storm
But that made me the fool


---

[Chorus]
I was too much, so I broke it all down
Learned to smile small, learned not to drown
Thought being enough might earn me a place
Now I'm bleeding out from the choice I made

The girl I was would’ve stopped him cold
Not cried on the tile while her story unfolds
I gave up the fire for something that fades
Now I don’t know who they’ll bury today


---

[Verse 2]
I traded lightning for soft light
Tried to play house, play safe
But walls don’t keep monsters out
They just keep your wild at bay


---

[Chorus]
I was too much, so I broke it all down
Learned to smile small, learned not to drown
Thought being enough might earn me a place
Now I'm bleeding out from the choice I made

The girl I was would’ve stopped him cold
Not cried on the tile while her story unfolds
I gave up the fire for something that fades
Now I don’t know who they’ll bury today


---

[Bridge]
This wasn’t grace, it was fear in disguise
And now I’m the one who’s paid the price
If they die with me, it’s my own hand
That laid them down—too late to stand


---

[Final Chorus – broken and strong]
I was too much, so I broke it all down
Learned to smile small, learned not to drown
I let go of the girl who would’ve fought
And now I know—I was doomed from the start

Doomed From the Start

[Verse 1]
We slip away, no map, no trace
Past the noise, into our space
Where shadows soften, and time stands still
The air is quiet, the world can’t spill

[Pre-Chorus]
Every word we don’t say glows
Every silence, only we know

[Chorus]
In our secret place, hidden in the dark
The walls remember the shape of our hearts
No one can find us, no one can take
The light we keep in our secret place

[Verse 2]
Your hand in mine, it steadies me
The ground feels safe beneath the trees
Laughter lingers like falling rain
We close our eyes, we’re whole again

[Pre-Chorus]
Every look says more than sound
Every heartbeat, sacred ground

[Chorus]
In our secret place, hidden in the dark
The walls remember the shape of our hearts
No one can find us, no one can take
The light we keep in our secret place

[Bridge]
Let the world keep turning, let it chase the day
We’ll stay where the quiet holds the storms away
Even if the years pull the skies apart
We’ll carry this shelter inside our hearts

[Final Chorus]
In our secret place, hidden in the dark
The walls remember the shape of our hearts
No one can find us, no one can take
The love we guard in our secret place



The Secret Place

With Nothing Left to Say

Verse 1
You carved my name with a jagged stone,
Turned every crowd into sticks you’d thrown.
Smiled in their faces, cut me for sport
But truth keeps its records, and time keeps the score.

Pre-Chorus
You think I pushed, you think I played
But you signed the match, you struck the blade.
Now all the smoke is spelling clear:
The only ghost to blame is in the mirror.

Chorus (Main)
You lit the fire, now choke on the flame,
Tried to accuse, but it’s all your name.
The crowd turns cold, they walk away
You’re standing there with nothing left to say.

Verse 2
You wore your crown like a sharpened knife,
Cut every hand that reached for your life.
I didn’t shout, I just let it ride
Now you’re the wreck on your own landslide.

Pre-Chorus
You call my name, but they don’t believe
The net was tied with your own weave.
I just smiled, and let it spin
You pulled the cord, you pulled it in.

Chorus (Main)
You lit the fire, now choke on the flame,
Tried to accuse, but it’s all your name.
The crowd turns cold, they walk away
You’re standing there with nothing left to say.

Bridge (The Hidden Hand)
I set the stage, I pulled the strings,
Watched you dance on broken wings.
Now you’re screaming out my name,
But no one listens—your word’s in flames.
The truth is mine, I’ll never pay…
And you’re the one with nothing left to say.

Final Chorus / Outro (Collapse)
You raised the tower, you pulled it down,
Buried yourself in the weight you found.
Your empire’s ash, your mask decayed
And you’re the one with nothing left to say.



Nothing Left To Say

Verse 1
The streets are quiet, stars are bright,
Every window’s glowing light.
I keep on walking, feels alright,
Looking for a spark tonight.

Pre-Chorus
I’m reaching out, but it’s unclear,
Something tells me you’re not near.

Chorus
Waiting for a sign tonight,
Holding on with all my might.
Waiting for a sign to show,
But the silence tells me no.

Verse 2
The radio plays a melody,
Sounds like it was meant for me.
I sing along, it carries fine,
Something more between the lines.

Pre-Chorus
I’m reaching out, but it’s unclear,
Something tells me you’re not near.

Chorus
Waiting for a sign tonight,
Holding on with all my might.
Waiting for a sign to show,
But the silence tells me no.

Bridge (truth revealed)
Every light is burning out,
Every whisper turns to doubt.
All the signs I thought I knew,
Were just shadows without you.

Final Chorus (extended)
Waiting for a sign tonight,
Holding on with all my might.
Waiting for a sign to show,
But the silence tells me no.


Waiting For A Sign


Verse 1
Man on the corner with a box on his shoulder,
Moving to a song that’s only growing older.
Nobody hears it, but he doesn’t care,
Dancing to a sound that isn’t there.

Chorus
Broken radio on the street,
Stepping in rhythm to a hidden beat.
Broken radio, static air,
Dancing to a sound that isn’t there.

Verse 2
I see myself in the sway of his motion,
Waves that are lost in a sea without ocean.
I try to reach her, the signal is weak,
Two different stations that never will meet.

Chorus
Broken radio on the street,
Stepping in rhythm to a hidden beat.
Broken radio, static air,
Dancing to a sound that isn’t there.

Verse 3
Words fall away in the hum of the city,
Static replies that don’t offer pity.
I keep on talking, but she walks on by,
Carrying silence like a lullaby.

Bridge
Turn the dial, but it won’t align,
Two players of fate on a broken line.
Every word just fades away,
In the silence of the day.

Final Chorus (repeat / extended)
Broken radio on the street,
Stepping in rhythm to a hidden beat.
Broken radio, static air,
Dancing to a sound that isn’t there.



Broken Radio

Verse 1
Shadows bend across the sky
Whispers move but don’t say why
Every moment slips away
Night becomes another day

Chorus
Just beyond the edge of sound
No one there to pull me down
Drifting where the stars unwind
Leaving all the world behind

Verse 2
Signals fading through the air
I keep searching, nothing’s there
Faces blur and turn to stone
In the silence I’m alone

Chorus
Just beyond the edge of sound
No one there to pull me down
Drifting where the stars unwind
Leaving all the world behind

Bridge (Chant)
Echo fading, fading, slow
Spinning, spinning, let it go
Nowhere, somewhere, up there, gone
Nowhere left to carry on

Falling, sinking, crashing down
Thinking, blinking, no one’s found
Never reaching, seeking ground
Dreams of solid ground

Final Chorus
Just beyond the edge of sound
No one there to pull me down
Drifting where the stars unwind
Leaving all the world behind



Just Beyond (The Edge of Sound)

Verse 1
The lights are flashing, bodies move in time
I’m holding their hand, but your eyes meet mine
I see you clearer than the one I’m with
Every step we steal is an unwrapped gift

Verse 2
You lock into my eyes, you lean in with pride
You wipe your lips with what you can't hide
Shoulder to shoulder, a brush that burns like fire
Accidents don’t last this long, we’re feeding desire

Pre-Chorus
We talk in silence louder than the song
The crowd thinks we’re strangers, but they’re wrong

Chorus
Moving and Grooving, starting slow and then faster
Teach me the rhythm that turns mistakes to disaster
Every bump’s a promise, every spin is the proof
We’re breaking the rules with every new move

Verse 3
Your hand skims my waist like it missed by design
I bite back a smile, keep the rhythm in line
We’re dancing shadows nobody else can see
Borrowed hands, borrowed time, borrowed heat

Pre-Chorus
We talk in silence louder than the song
The crowd thinks we’re strangers, but they’re wrong

Chorus
Moving and grooving, starting slow then faster
Teach me the rhythm that turns mistakes to disaster
Every bump’s a promise, every spin is the proof
We’re breaking the rules with every new move

Bridge
Spin me around, drop me low till I shake
Our tempo’s a rush no DJ could fake
The room belongs to them, but the song is ours
We rehearse in the dark, stealing minutes, stealing hours

Final Chorus / Outro
Moving and grooving, starting slow and then faster
Teach me the rhythm that turns mistakes to disaster
Every bump’s a promise, every spin is the proof
We’re breaking the rules with every new move

Moving and Grooving

I'm not a musician.  But I feel the music that I cannot create. I write the lyrics from scenes in my short stories. plays, novellas, and novels as "emotional scaffolding". And even then, I don't consider myself a writer, but a storyteller.

If you think my songs aren't commercial grade, you're probably right. 

But if you enjoyed any of them, that makes me happy. 

Moving and Grooving
