Knowing that you have to let someone go eventually.

This song is inspired by someone who has been very important to me and who is one of the reasons I'm able to create my own music now. I'm forever grateful for that 🙏

Lyrics

Finally, I had a good thing going
Or at least, that’s what I thought
But now it’s slipping through my fingers
Till there’s nothing left to hold

All relationships I’m in are so unbalanced
Just like me
Such a challenge to be less than half
Of who I’d like to be

You can’t give me what I want, I understand
To be fair, you never really were my friend
Eventually, all good things must come to an end
So here I go again

I know I’m not the one you’d choose
But I’m so scared of losing you
It’s taking me over
It’s making me go to places I

Would rather not be
But I guess that’s just me
And if it’s all gonna be over
I think you should know

That I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you

Even if there’s no room for me

I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you

So here I go
Full-on panic mode
So here I go
Full-on panic mode

So here I go
Full-on panic mode
Full-on panic mode
Full-on panic mode

So here I go
Full-on panic mode
Full-on panic mode, full-on panic mode
Full-on panic mode, panic mode, panic mode, panic mode

Eventually, all good things must come to an end
So here I go again

I know I’m not the one you’d choose
But I’m so scared of losing you
It’s taking me over
It’s making me go to places I

Would rather not be
But I guess that’s just me
And if it’s all gonna be over
I think you should know

That I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you

Even if there’s no room for me

I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you

No hard feelings
Just wanted to get this off my chest
I’ll leave you alone now
It’s okay, I really wish you all the best

Scared Of Losing You

No Regrets

This track is a raw, soulful exploration of a lifelong love and the heavy silence that follows a partner’s departure. It follows the narrative of a man who fell in love at sixteen and now, "old and gray," is wrestling with the "endless nights" of mourning.

The lyrics transition from a desperate plea for God to break the silence—"I’m aching in the silence / Please let me know You’re there"—to a powerful realization of presence. It’s a tribute to a woman who was a "hero" in his weakest moments and a testament to a faith that "finishes strong" despite the pain.

Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Like a maze, the first half is free
The second takes you farther away from me
What kind of world we'd be
If no-one heard him say I have a dream

They said we'll fight them on the beach, yeah
Like it's a good thing to give each his end
Never mind what the good book teaches
Ignore the gospel that his creatures send

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Like a crown, I wear my regret
Turns out the truth is just a silhouette
Made of nothing yet
We trace the outline and at once it's set

See my father in my history
And in my future he's still all I see
This kind of symmetry
Is what makes all of us so hard to beat

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

No Such Thing (As Getting Over You)

Heavens Touch

I'm Not an Island When I'm Alone

A song written in the highlands of Scotland, whilst driving through the mountains and whilst asking myself the question, “where do I really see myself”. Where do you truly see yourself? Are you where you want to be or are you stuck living a life that you know isn’t right for you? Thank you for listening. Abel  ❤️
