LYRICS:

pictures scattered all over the floor
“click click shutter” with smiles to die for
watching as everyone got louder and louder
and i stayed behind the camera 
Person C, the make-believe 
with a presence that can't be seen past a screen
ooh, yeah 

memories like medusa 
all these shots of her so far

so i’ll sit back and watch
be by your side at your beck and call 
all i wanted was to be seen
It’s A to Z  
so i’ll build my walls
all you did was make me feel small
despite all the places we’ve been
it’s A to Z without the C

focus, zoom, point and shoot
feeling just like a substitute
“take my candids, make me look splendid”
you had me leaving empty-handed
​
won’t you see past the lens
stop posing in your forced pretence
all the time and all these frames
i never feel alive when you’re saying my names

locked in your paradise 
while i’m out here paying the price 

so i’ll sit back and watch
be by your side at your beck and call
all i wanted was to be seen
It’s A to Z  
so i’ll build my walls
all you did was make me feel small
despite all the places we’ve been
it’s A to Z without the C

polaroids on your walls
memories we recall
not only a side-chick, not a one trick
had me holding the short end of the stick
but now i'm sick of it 
thought we had it all 
realised you were false 
i'm at a loss, remorse
it’s irony in itself but i guess it’ll do

so i’ll sit back and watch
be by your side at your beck and call
all i wanted was to be seen
It’s A to Z  
so i’ll build my walls
you set me up for the fall
despite all the places we’ve been
it’s A to Z without the C

it’s A to Z without me

A to Z

LYRICS:
Verse 1:
Roaming around on the streets
Wishing there would be some form of peace
Wanting to empty my mind
Distractions will suffice

Looking at all these people
Oh how, ever-loving they can be
Observing had got me thinking
That they’re a lot like me

Pre-Chorus:
Little did I realise, I do treat myself kindly
Diamond in the rough, found herself looking so shiny
Looking in the mirror at my reflection and that’s when it hit me

Chorus:
So this is what loving myself feels like
I’ve never felt this warmth deep down inside
Always looking out for qualities
When looking inside is everything I need

Note to self when things are out of focus
To love others well, we need to know this
The perfect way to do that is
To start off with loving myself first

Verse 2:
Working my way through loving
Myself looks way tougher than it seems
Someone focused on my own needs
That’s who I’ve been trying to be

Pre-Chorus:
Little did I realise, I do treat myself kindly
Diamond in the rough, found herself looking so shiny
Looking in the mirror at my reflection and that’s when it hit me

Chorus:
So this is what loving myself feels like
I’ve never felt this warmth deep down inside
always been looking out to be worthy
When looking inside is everything I need

Note to self when things are out of focus
To love others well, we need to know this
The perfect way to do that is
To start off with loving myself first

Post-Chorus:
Now I know to love myself first
Try it once, it's not so difficult
Before others, to give myself the earliest
And that is to start loving myself first

be my mistake
