Franz and I wrote this song last year, and it took a good amount of time to record it since academic stuff happened and I graduated this year. Yay! Lol Hope you guys enjoy this heartbreaking message in a playful tune.

Tell Me

Verse: 
I was like a picture frame 
Hanging on a wall
People talk to me sometimes
I try to talk sometimes
But why bother

I know you know all the words
Speak your mind to me
Scarlet letters in my head
Don't know if I'm upset 
We're going under

Chorus:
We walk down the street
When they're frozen, our hearts they don't beat
So tell me, why would people stay
When they leave me anyway?
Tell me how would I know
If you mean it
See I told you so
Now tell me
Would I let you stay
When you let me slip away?
Tell me

Verse:
Lay your cards down if you're able
Let me take control
I don't know what I deserve
I try to calm my nerves
But why bother
 
Angels cry; they sing to me
Where did we go wrong?
Oh I thought we wouldn't miss
You know I tried to breathe
Underwater

Bridge:
How do I know it's true?
How do I know it's you?

Tell Me - Mildenze

A little song Franz and I wrote for her girl for Valentine's Day. Hope you guys enjoy it. :)

***

I don't always know the way
It felt just like yesterday
When no nobody felt like keeping their promises
And, oh, nobody likes to stay

But tell me now if one day she'll be mine
I see the future when I see her smile
The things she makes me do
I know this must be true, I know I do
I'm blue without you

Yeah, it's really hard to find
What's been bothering my mind
If she feels the same about our story
Hope is all what's left behind

So tell me now if one day she'll be mine
I see the future when I see her smile
The things she makes me do
I know this must be true, I know I do
I'm blue without you

I just wrote this song to say
How you always make my day
Winter nights feel more like summer days
You take all the fear away

Tell me now if one day you'll be mine
I see my future when I see you smile
And if this isn't real
At least you made feel the way I do
I'm blue without you

Blue Without You - Mildenze

The sonnet is a song of a man completely and utterly in love with a woman who makes his entire body flutter with happiness. 

***

Lyrics:
The time we spend
Love that knows no end
Your heart, its light
The queen, and mine the knight
So frail, so blue
But when I think of you
The girl, this song
Remind me to be true
I promise that I'll always stay with you

Have no fear
Rest your head, I'm here
May these words
Be like honey birds 
That when you hear
Them echo in your ear
They'll lead you to
A happy place for you
I promise that I'll always pray with you

So sincere
The reason that I'm here
To have, to hold
A lovely volunteer 
My words, though few
They only speak of you 
Don't fret, don't cry
Oh, when our music dies 
I promise that I'll sing the words to you
The sonnet of the man in love with you

The Sonnet - Mildenze

I'm aiming for a deeply chill vibe with this new track, envisioning moonlit beaches, crackling campfires, and glowing embers under a vast night sky. This song is an exploration of tranquility, and I'm pushing my boundaries by experimenting with bass and autotune in ways completely out of my comfort zone. 

****

Verse:
Why don't we just take it slow
It doesn't matter where we go
I will always be the one you need
I guarantee
We'll be alright

Everything's a symphony
If you listen to the crashing waves
How it's similar to when we touch
And that's enough
For me

Chorus: E-A-F#-B
So what if the sun goes down?
And all that we have's our love
If it gets too cold
Oh, I'll keep you warm, we'll
Just let our fiery hearts glow

Verse:
Close your eyes, and touch the flame
'cause how I feel for you's a burning blaze
And the ember's trying to scream your name
It's not a game, we both know it's true

When you get close to me
Let me look you in the eyes and say
How I never want to let you go
I hope you know, I do

Glow - Mildenze

This song was co-written by a friend of mine whose poems struck my heartstrings so well that it produced a melody almost instantly. This song would always remind me that although moving on is necessary, some people would prefer not to and would rather go through all of the pain many more times in their lives to keep the ones they love.

Do It All Again

Verse:
Woke by an aching heart
Innocence so torn apart
By you, right now
I'm broken

Replace the missing links
Romanticize foolish thinking
Heal, conceal, then love harder

Refrain:
Am I falling way too slow or way too fast
When I think of you

Chorus: 
I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
I refuse to say this is how our story ends
When you say good bye
I'll feel it once and twice
I'm willing to forget those one too many lies
I'd do it all again

Verse:
What use is my heart
If I'm not loved
If it's filled with loathing
And the feeling's numbed

Alluring fantasies
I'll keep you in my arms tonight
Again, our love unbroken

Bridge:
Am I falling more in love than once before?
Engaged to the pain you have in store
I am falling way too slow and way too fast
When I think of you

Do It All Again - Mildenze

This is a break from all the heartbreaks songs I've written. This is one is romantic, unlike all my recent songs and it describes a love that's fresh and new and hopeful, giving everything and holding nothing back.

Hold Nothing Back

Verse:
Rainbows, moonlight
They're nothing to you
Only you can do the things that get me through
Tug my heart 
With lovely eyes and stare
Longer than you've ever been and anywhere
Kiss me slowly when you've said my name
Kiss me every season, every night and day
Interlock my fingers next to yours
When the world is ending
Live the life we chose

Chorus:
Ooh
Pulverize the silence
Tell me what you mean
Ooh
Keep me in your heart
Front, back and in between
Ooh
We'll hold nothing back

Verse:
Close your eyes and breathe the evening air
Now, I'll pull you close 
While your fingers brush my hair
All the time I'll say these words to you
Love is everlasting when you want it to
Take your clothes off, feel the summer breeze
I won't force you, that's just how it is
I'm bewitched, girl, by the spell you cast
The night is long and tender
Let this moment last

Hold Nothing Back - Mildenze

This holiday season, I'm blessed with a happy heart.

I Can See Forever Again

Verse: F-Dm-Bb-F
It was best without you
Never thought I'd want to
Believe a lie
Knowing that I'm still alone without you

A little bit past midnight
A gloomy man in faint light
Wanted to know if you were alone
And felt the same way I do

Refrain: Dm- Gm-C
Oh, is this a sign that you'll let me decide here for you?

Chorus: F-Dm-Gm-C
Lovely lady, dance in my dreams
Walk the sky, as strange as it seems
Breeze and moonlight, sing me through the summer
In your eyes, girl, I can see forever
Now I can see forever again

Verse: 
Tell me I won't regret
To love you here in secret
Nobody will be able to fill
The empty glass that you set

I walk a little slowly
Everytime you're near me
Hoping that I can somehow define
The skips my heart makes softly

Bridge: Gm-C-F~Bb
All I want tonight
Is you right by my side
In the mountains
Or the cities
In the rivers
Or the seas

I Can See Forever Again - Mildenze

Make You Sad

Verse:
Listen to the beat
I will make you see
How you were meant for me
Flawless destiny
Like the sky is to the sea
Well, they're never apart
Like you to my heart

Chorus:
If you need a man to warm your bed
I'll be there
Hold you close til dawn
Tonight and forever
Will you listen to the songs I wrote about you
All the memories that we had
And no, I won't make you sad

Verse:
Free your little mind
Because I won't patronize you
Our stars they realign
For me to get right beside you
Be my Valentine
Won't let your heart break
Whatever it takes

Bridge:
I know there's a place I want to go
I know that the only way is if you stay

Make You Sad - Mildenze

I can't say much about this track really. It just came to me one night while I was alone with the piano. It's scary and sweet and satisfyingly spectacular in a way.

December

Verse:
Look at December wearing white, her golden hair loose
Don't be deceived by that devil's frozen stare
Because she is a stranger angel, powerful and sweet
Now she lays on my mind

I'm having trouble looking for the words to say
She laughs like a crazy crazy person by the way 
We don't see each other very often anyway
But she lays on my mind

Chorus:
Oh, December take me home
I'm on my knees
And I'm begging you
December, take me home
I'm on my knees
And I'm begging you

Verse:
Look at December she's got everything she wants
I don't want to die, I can't look her in the eye
I know maybe maybe she's a little twiddle shy
When she smiles, I'm alright

She's proud and mighty only when she's acting tough
No, she's not so brave when she hears her papa call her
She hits like hell and you'd probably stay away
But she cries late at night

Bridge:
Oh, December, something's wrong
Is this real
Am I dreaming?
Did I really write this song?
Is this real?
Am I dreaming?

Verse:
Listen, December oh it's best to stay away now
Now that it's dark, I can see my halo's gone
How could I resist when she's calling by name?
They all know how it goes

Coda:
December please don't go
Because I'm late
For a meeting
With the devil
Back at home
I'm on my knees
And I'm begging you

December - Mildenze

I was hella sick while recording this so I couldn't hit the right notes well. But I think it came out pretty well. So if you think you can't do shit because you're sick, think again. 
***
June

Verse:
If you're leaving, I'd be bleeding
Tell me I can hold your hand
Come with me to the horizon
I'll take you to a promised land
Leaning to kiss you when you sleep tonight

Chorus:
Angels tell me to keep you warm
Through the cold I'm with you close
On the clear days and thunderstorms
If you get sick, I'll wipe your nose
Singing so you can go to sleep tonight

Verse:
There's an oak tree by the hillside
A moonlit view will take your breath
Say a promise with a ring
Our nightmares will be put to rest
Won't leave you as soon as sunrise breaks, good night

Bridge: 
June, you know me, I'll understand
Through the storms, I won't let go
Love is shady and out of hand
We're marching through the afterglow
Looking so lovely as you sleep tonight

June - Mildenze

I loved writing this song with a friend. It was a way to explore how I would express songs that I've written. Hope you guys enjoy!

Happy Now

Verse: 
Four in the morning
I'm packing my bags
As I'm packing my heart unaware
Should've let go when you said you remembered
I told you I loved you too late

Chorus:
Don't blame this all on me 
It happened so quietly
Love was so cruel when it took you away from me
My hands are all bruised
'Cause I held you for far too long
But I like to think I'm happy now

Verse:
All that I've said in the past are frankly the best words that I could express
Maybe i thought that we loved undeniably
Stronger than when we first kissed

Chorus:
Don't blame this all on me
You cared so sparingly
Love was so cruel when it took you away from me
My hands are all bruised 
'Cause I held you for far too long
But I like to think I'm happy now

Bridge:
Happy here 'cause now that you're gone
That jacket once green will turn blue because you lied to me
Embers of love for the one I'll never forget
Oh, I won't forget

Verse: 
This is the part where the wind moves my hand 
So it caresses the side of your face
The flower in your ear will remind me forever that you were never mine to take

Chorus: 
But don't blame this all on me
That this love's a tragedy
Love is so cruel, why didn't you give it all to me
My hands are all bruised 'cause I held you for far too long
But I like to think I'm happy now
