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:

【秘密】 'Secret'

[VERSE 1]

自作聪明着似乎就成了年
I used to pretend to be all grown up but now it’s really time

除了疲倦什么都不比从前
Nothing’s changed for the better except I’m a little more tired

无数的人影在我眼前重现
Countless silhouettes overlap before my eyes again

每一张却都变成了你的脸
But every single face blurs into yours


[PRE-CHORUS]

要是我早一点认识你就好了
If only I’d known you a little sooner

要是我晚一点认识你就好了
If only I’d known you a little later


[CHORUS 1]

因为你我有了继续努力的勇气
Thanks to you I have the courage to keep going

即使没有奇迹也是美好的回忆
We left behind fond memories even if miracles were never for us

别担心我会永远保护你的秘密
Don’t worry your secret’s safe with me

因为这是你最后属于我的东西
Because it’s the last part of you that belongs to me


[VERSE 2]

我游荡在人群中越陷越深
I drift through the crowd sinking deeper and deeper

可我不知道该怎么一个人
Still the silence gets so loud I don’t know how to be by myself

寂寞难忍却假装看破红尘
Loneliness was killing me but I pretended I was above it all

别无选择习惯了渺然一身
In the end without a choice I became numb and called it reality

[PRE-CHORUS]

要是我早一点认识你就好了
If only I’d known you a little sooner

要是我晚一点认识你就好了
If only I’d known you a little later


[CHORUS 2]

别担心我会永远保护你的秘密
Don’t worry your secret’s safe with me

因为这是你最后属于我的东西
Because it’s the last part of you that belongs to me


[VERSE 3]

只是这里的天空没了你是灰色的
it’s just that the sky without you here is a little grey

漂泊太久的人都不再发觉水冷了
As time passes we don’t notice the water’s getting cold as we drift away

可惜无论是谁对谁错一切都太晚了
Shame it no longer matters who was right or wrong it’s all too late

再也没有如果 也许 一定 明天会好的
No more ‘if, maybe, I promise tomorrow will be a better day’


[BRIDGE]

我曾那么较真
I was so stubborn

可现在雁逝鱼沉
Now it’s all gone

我曾那么较真
I was so stubborn

可现在雁逝鱼沉
Now it’s all gone

Lyrics:

That was just a nightmare
Just a nightmare
Why is the sky still so dark?
What is the time now?

Ah I don't wanna go to school man
It’s freaking 6:30! 
I'm gonna be late!

Up on my bed
I'm so exhausted
There's so much 
work to be done
Look at the clock
I’m ’bout to be late
Please i just need
5 minutes more!

But I- I really should just get up
It's a long day
But I- I really should just get up
It's almost 7am

But hey this is fine!
I'm still on my bed right?

Well,
The sky’s still dark
The aircon’s still on
One day wouldn't hurt anyone
Drink my coffee
Drink my tea
No one’s ever gonna disturb me
Nothing to care
Nothing to bear
I’m just gonna be all free!

Yeah that’s true!

So, I'm going to bed now

Oh no! I have a test today! AGHHHHHHH!

Guess That's Life

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:

If the World

[INSTRUMENTAL]

It’s funny to think
It’s been nearly a decade
Every year the same
Hoping this time I'll see your face
When I first saw you smile
And when I first saw you cry
That night you got drunk
I’ll never forget those eyes

When the world was on fire
We danced through the pain
But when it all died down
You went away with the flames

Even if the world forgets
Who you once were
Even if the world forgets
I’ll feel your embers
Even if the world forgets
I will never
And even if the world forgets
I’ll remember

[INSTRUMENTAL]

The doll on my bed
Time passed in those cold days
That yellow guitar
Under the sun that day you played
You were golden then
But then everything changed
You said you were sorry
You’d never be happy again

When the world was on fire
We danced through the pain
But when it all died down
You went away with the flames

Even if the world forgets
Who you once were
Even if the world forgets
I’ll feel your embers
Even if the world forgets
I will never
And even if the world forgets
I’ll remember

I don’t need a reason to wake up in the morning
I get up and I get on with my day in a second
I meet people and I laugh and smile and I cry
I don’t need to understand life I don’t want to try
But I know
Even if the world forgets
I’ll remember you
Even if the world forgets

Even if the world forgets
Who you once were
Even if the world forgets
I’ll feel your embers
Even if the world forgets
I will never
And even if the world forgets
I’ll remember

If the World

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?
