Lyrics:

So What

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE 1]
My father bought me a parrot, the day I turned nine
He was so beautiful, his song so bright
I kissed that birdy goodnight and went to sleep with a smile
But then morning came, and father said ‘beautiful things die’

[PRE-CHORUS 1] 
Father bought me a new bird, more beautiful than the first 
But he never sang to me, he never said a word
I never kissed him goodnight, he never made me smile
So when morning came, I won’t ever have to say goodbye

[CHORUS]
So what, so what if I free myself tonight
So what, so what if it takes me all my life
So what, so what if I never make things right
So what, so what

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE 2]
I walked away from home, I never once looked back
Scared there’d be no one there, or worse if no one cared
In my dreams I heard that parrot sing to me again 
He said ‘Forget about the past, your time is not up yet’

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
I’ve forgotten how to trust, I’ve learnt to lie
There are people I’ve hurt, I can never apologise
I spent years hating it all, hating what I’d become
Then I saw what I can still do, not just what I’ve done 

[CHORUS]
So what, so what if I free myself tonight
So what, so what if it takes me all my life
So what, so what if I never make things right
So what, so what

So What

Lyrics:

Don't

[VERSE]

I knew from the start
That you would poison me
I gave you my trust
And you threw it all away

Liar liar
To my face
Liar liar
Now it’s too late

[PRE-CHORUS]

What about, what about, what about love
What about, what about, what about love

[CHORUS]

Don’t show up in my dreams, 
'Cause I hate the emptiness when I wake up
Don’t lay your weight on me,
'Cause I’m only human just like you are
Don’t feel sorry about what could’ve been, 
'Cause the future holds more than just us
If you’ve ever walked a mile in my shoes,
You wouldn’t tell me I don’t have a heart
You wouldn’t tell me I don’t have a heart
You wouldn’t tell me

[VERSE]

Now the day is gone
As the clouds roll by
We’ll paint them red
Our own sky of fire

You gave me hope
That I won’t be sad
How cruel of you
To take it back

[PRE-CHORUS]

What about, what about, what about love
What about, what about, what about love

[CHORUS]

Don’t show up in my dreams, 
'Cause I hate the emptiness when I wake up
Don’t lay your weight on me,
'Cause I’m only human just like you are
Don’t feel sorry about what could’ve been, 
'Cause the future holds more than just us
If you’ve ever walked a mile in my shoes,
You wouldn’t tell me I don’t have a heart
You wouldn’t tell me I don’t have a heart
You wouldn’t tell me

[BRIDGE]

We felt like the kings of the world, so long, so long
We felt like the kings of the world, so long, so long
We felt like the kings of the world, so long, so long
We felt like the kings of the world, so long, so long

[CHORUS]

Don’t show up in my dreams, 
'Cause I hate the emptiness when I wake up
Don’t lay your weight on me,
'Cause I’m only human just like you are
Don’t feel sorry about what could’ve been, 
'Cause the future holds more than just us
If you’ve ever walked a mile in my shoes,
You wouldn’t tell me I don’t have a heart
You wouldn’t tell me I don’t have a heart
You wouldn’t tell me

Don't

Lyrics:

Would You Still Love Me

I hope I make you happy
I hope I make you glad
I hope I can always keep you close

But when I’m around you
My darkness gets a little too comfortable
Threatening to spill

Would you still love me even if
I couldn’t feel?
Would you still love me even if
None of me was real?


I think you make me happy
I think you make me glad
I know I will always keep you close

But when I’m around you
My darkness gets a little too comfortable
Threatening to spill

Would you still love me even if
I lost my mind?
Would you still love me even if
You knew what I am?

Cause you make me feel like
There’s a place for me in this world after all
When I’m with you I feel alive
My heart starts to beat just like yours

Would you still love me even if
I couldn’t feel?
Would you still love me even if
None of me was real?

Cause I will still love you even if
You can’t feel
And I will still love you even if
You are empty
Just like me


I hope I make you happy

Would You Still Love Me

Lyrics:

Take Me Away

I’m doing fine
But I’m not
It doesn’t matter
Nothing stops
It’s okay 
I still have
Self-restraint
Not for long but who cares 
I’ll cross that bridge
When the water
Rises up and up 
Up to my neck
I’ll hold my breath
Can you see me?
Is it all in my head?

If someone touches my hand now
I think I’ll cry
There’s no one here but I’ll wait
Just for a while
Leave it behind even my name
On a sunny day
All of my fears all of my shame
Take me away

All the beautiful things that I love
All of it that could’ve been mine
Everything’s the same as it was
But I’m running out of time

If someone touches my hand now
I think I’ll cry
There’s no one here but I’ll wait
Just for a while
Leave it behind even my name          
On a sunny day
All of my fears all of my shame
Take me away

I curse every bit of me that breaks
Every part of me that bends
It comes around my every mistake
Reminding me this is who I am
All the beautiful things that I love
All of it that could’ve been mine
Everything’s the same as it was
But I’m running out of time    

If someone touches my hand now
I think I’ll cry
There’s no one here but I’ll wait
Just for a while
Leave it behind even my name
On a sunny day
Time goes by it’s a beautiful day
I think I’ll stay
I’m gonna stay
I’ll stay

Lyrics


Somebody tell me
Am I right 
Or am I wrong 
Way in the distance
Through the dark
Which way is home 
There was nowhere to go but up
So I never stopped  
Will you fly up to the sun with me
Before we fall


Promise me I’ll still care when I’m older
And maybe I, I’ll carry on
Promise me I’ll still care when I’m older
And maybe I, I’ll carry on
Promise me I’ll still love when I’m older
And maybe I, I’ll carry on


After all the destruction we paint pretty watercolours
We had our fun, we always knew
If I could go back I wouldn’t look behind the curtain
It had to come, still I wished it wasn’t true
I always knew
Still I wished it wasn’t true
I always knew


Promise me I’ll still care when I’m older (I always knew)
And maybe I, I’ll carry on (Still I wished it wasn’t true)
Promise me I’ll still love when I’m older (I always knew)
Still I wished it wasn’t true

When I'm Older

When I'm Older (demo)

Sneak peeks of my music before release!

Hi there! I wasn't quite sure what life'd be like without music so I started making my own. 
This is where I share stories, memories and random thoughts. At the end of the day, I suppose we all want to feel connected to everyone else, to feel loved, and to try to love people and things around us. I do it through music, maybe you do too?
