Nothing but the Words is a collection of stories — all lived and felt.
It’s about a breakup and a new relationship, loving someone who’s far away.
It’s my own therapy, it's about speaking up after years of silence, holding on through distance, and learning how to let go when you finally have to, but more than all the expression on Love I finally feel truly.

These songs are how I say what I couldn’t say out loud.
If they find you at the right time, I hope they speak for you too.

Nothing but the Words

If I could fold the highway like a map
I’d draw a door from here to where you nap
Slide it open right into your room
Barefoot steps and hearts in bloom
I’d brush your hair while you brush your teeth
Tuck in close like I never leave
You’d smile and say, “You can’t be real”
And I’d say, “Come here, let me show you how I feel”

[Chorus]
I’d teleport to you if I just knew how
Drop right in and spin you ‘round right now
No more waiting, no more lonely nights
Just your hands in mine and the morning light
You could wash my back, I’ll dry off yours
I’ll brush your hair, then love you some more
I’d bend the rules and the stars somehow
If I could fold the highway right now.

I’d time it perfect, step in with the water runnin’
You’d toss me a towel like the trouble’s just beginnin’
Say “go on babe, I’ll cook you something sweet”
She plates it up like a five-star treat
You’d hum that tune I wrote of our first meet
Singin’ off-key, barefoot on the beat
Then pour my coffee with a little wink
And say, “Come get your kiss, but don’t you blink.”

[Repeat Chorus]

If I could fold the highway…
If I could fold the highway right now.

Or maybe in a dream past midnight’s door
I slip on through across the bedroom floor
Leave my boots and time behind
With you, love’s always right on time

No ticking clocks, no worn-out miles
Just waking up beside your smile
No traffic jams, no weekend plans
Just tangled sheets and lazy hands
The world outside can wait its turn
There’s coffee, kisses, and skin to burn
If wishing made the real-world bend
I’d fold that map and never leave again

[Repeat Chorus]
If I could fold the highway…
If I could fold the highway right now.

Yeah… if I could fold the highway, babe
If I could fold the highway right now,
I’d already be there with you.

////---------------------------------////

A long-distance love song about teleportation, morning kisses, and folding space just to brush her hair and hold her a little longer. Playful, warm, and full of sunshine.

Fold the Highway

We talk all night with hearts half-shown
You hold my hand like it’s your own
You kiss my shoulder when we walk
Run your hand through my hair like it’s softest chalk
You call me babe, you call me love
You fit beside me like a glove
But there’s a space we never name
Where everything still feels the same

It might be early, might be wrong
But it’s felt like love all along

[Chorus]
We’ve got everything but the words
The quiet truth that never blurs
You lean on me, you match my pace
You pull me close in every place
You give so much, without a name
But I still feel it all the same
So I don’t ask for bigger words
We’ve got everything… everything but the words

You kiss my chest and calm my storms
You know the way my heartbeat forms
I hold your gaze, you hold my hand
We move like waves across dry land
You hold the space, you keep me whole
You name the parts I didn’t know
And I see you, not just the shine
But every edge you let meet mine

No need to label what we feel
It’s real enough without the seal

[Repeat Chorus]

There’s no pressure, there’s no race
No need to rush what time will trace
I’d rather walk this side-by-side
Then reach too soon and miss the ride

So I’ll stay open, soft, and true
And let the word come clear to you

[Repeat Chorus]

////--------------------------------////

A love song for everything that’s already there, the touch, the trust, the laughter, even if the word ‘love’ hasn’t been said yet.

Everything But The Words

You were stretched on a towel, that sun-kissed grin
I was sweating in the light where the pine lets in
Two backyards, but the sky said one
And we felt like rich folks in the sun

You held your phone like I was right there
Laughin’, sayin’ you’d save me a chair
And I swear that smile lit up my day
Like the sun reached out from six hundred away

[Chorus]
We got the same sun, same heat
You with that glow, me in bare feet
Different towns, but our hearts beat one
Tanned and teasing in the midday sun
You shine like gold in the afternoon
And I feel it rising from your side too
Six hundred clicks, but it still feels close
Babe, we’re dancing beneath the same sun

Babe, we’re dancing beneath the same sun

You said, “Wish I could reach right through the screen”
I said, “I’d fold the highway if you know what I mean”
You leaned right back with your eyes half closed
And I felt that spark through a screen and a phone

No ocean breeze, just that backyard sky
But somehow, baby, we still get high
On every look and every tease
Soakin’ in love on a light July breeze

[Repeat Chorus]
Tanned and teasing in the midday sun

Our phones ran hot, like our hearts, like our skin
Even apart, girl, we’re still locked in
Burnin’ bright where the sunlight plays
You and me, just a call away

Same sun… same heat
Same sweet fire, same heartbeat
Different chairs but the same damn fun
Fallin’ deeper in the midday sun

[Repeat Chorus]
(It’s like you were here…)
Dancing beneath the same sun

Still burnin’ under the same sun

////--------------------------------////

"Same Sun" is a pop-country dance track that captures the intimacy of long-distance love shared under a single sky. With vibrant guitars, a driving beat, and sun-soaked lyrics, the song tells the story of two lovers, each in their own backyard, connected through a video call and the warmth of the midday sun. It blends flirtation and longing with a touch of humour and heartfelt rhythm, reminding us that no matter the miles, love can still burn bright, beneath the same sun.

Same Sun

She walks in like color in a black-and-white room
Brings a laugh, brings a spark, clears away the gloom
She don’t try, she just shines, and that’s enough
Turns an everyday moment to something like love

No fireworks, no grand display
Just the way she smiles can shift my day

[Chorus]
And I’m lucky like that, to be hers, to be seen
To be picked by someone who could have had anything
She’s the calm in my chest, the fire in my track
And I still can’t believe she’s choosing me back
I don’t need much, but I know this, in fact
I feel lucky, yeah, lucky like that

There’s charm in her quiet, we don’t need to speak
Just a look, just a grin, and my knees go weak
She runs her fingers through my hair, slow and thin
I still catch my breath when she draws me in
Yeah, she knows it.

Not a script, not a show, not a dream I planned
But there’s magic in the way she takes my hand

[Chorus 2]
And I’m lucky like that, to be hers, to be known
To feel right in a heart that feels like home
She’s the calm in my chest, the fire in my track
And I still can’t believe she’s choosing me back
I don’t need much, but I know this, in fact,
I feel lucky, yeah, lucky like that

I feel lucky…
Yeah, lucky like that…

It’s not just the pull, it’s the peace she brings
Not just the thrill, it’s the truth in small things
She’s not saving me, but I keep rising
And love like this? It’s soul-surprising

We pull in close, and the world fades slow
No need for words, our bodies know
The way she sighs when I touch her skin
Says more than words could ever begin

[Chorus 3]
I’m lucky like that, to be hers, to be seen
To be chosen by someone who moves like a dream
She’s the calm in my chest, the fire in my track
And I still can’t believe she’s choosing me back
I don’t need much, but I know this, in fact,
I feel lucky, yeah, lucky like that

Lucky, lucky…
Yeah, lucky like that…
Lucky, lucky…

Still can’t believe…
She’s choosing me back.

////---------------------------------////

“Lucky Like That” is a warm, groovy country-pop track that celebrates the quiet magic of being deeply seen, chosen, and loved. With a toe-tapping mid-tempo rhythm, smooth acoustic guitars, and a soulful male vocal, the song blends flirtation, tenderness, and gratitude. It captures the feeling of being drawn into someone’s presence, heart, mind, and body, and knowing just how rare that connection is.

Lucky like that

She says, “Moments matter, not what’s boxed or tied,” “Give me laughter, music, and time on our side.” 
She’ll light up a room with a joke and a glance 
Spin me around like it’s our one dance 
And when the right song plays, she leans in slow 
Says, “Boo, I feel rich, just so you know.”

[Chorus 1]
Every second with her is the moment of a lifetime 
Like sharing one chair in the glow of a bonfire 
She don’t need diamonds, don’t care for design 
She just needs touch and a glass of red wine 
She turns little things into gold every time 
Every second with her… Is the moment of a lifetime

She catches my thoughts before I speak 
She knows when I’m strong, and when I’m weak 
She reads me in silence like words on a sheet 
She hears her heart in the song, then kisses mine 
She teases then laughs, that moment’s divine 
And somehow her sparkle keeps redefining time

[Chorus 2]
Every second with her is the moment of a lifetime 
Like dancing barefoot in the heat of the fire light 
She don’t need diamonds, don’t care for design 
She just needs touch and a glass of red wine 
She turns little things into gold every time 
Every second with her… Is the moment of a lifetime

There’s a candle lit low and a song playing sweet 
She moves through the room with a sway in her feet 
Climbs in my lap like she’s claiming her seat 
She leans into me while the melody flows 
Her hands make promises, her lips kiss slow 
And time disappears in the afterglow

She taught me that joy ain’t something you chase
It’s lightning and laughter and a warm embrace
Now I hold her close and I finally see
She’s the gift that she’s giving me

[Chorus 3]
Every second with her is the moment of a lifetime 
Like soft-spoken laughter and skin against mine 
She don’t need diamonds, don’t care for design 
She just needs touch and a glass of red wine 
She turns little things into gold every time 
Every second with her… Is the moment of a lifetime

Yeah, every second with her…
Is the moment of a lifetime

////----------------------------------////

A heartfelt country power ballad about a woman who doesn’t measure love in gifts, but in shared moments. With warmth, humour, and quiet intimacy, the song captures how she turns ordinary nights into unforgettable memories, through laughter, music, touch, and presence. From soft glances to slow dances, candlelight to playful grins, every second with her feels like a lifetime.

The Moment of a Lifetime

I’ve walked through the dust, I’ve stood in the rain
Carried my pack, through the hurt and the strain
But nothing I’ve faced, in the fight or the field
Feels like the weight of the truth I’ve concealed

You’ve got my heart, posted out in the open
No armor on, just words unspoken
And I’m holding my ground, though it’s hard to stand still
When one look from you could wound or could heal

[Chorus]
My heart’s downrange and you’re on the line
Finger on the trigger, but you’re taking your time
I can’t call it back, can’t pull it away
It’s yours to defend or to let slip away
I’ve made my choice, my aim is true
The rest of this fight is up to you
One shot to hold it, one shot to change it
Bae, Let's face it... My heart is downrange

I get why you’re cautious, I’ve read your doubt
You’ve seen me live it, then just walk out
You think I could leave like it’s nothing to do
But I’ve never been more certain than I am with you

[Repeat Chorus]

This is the longest second I’ve ever known
My future’s right here, but I’m all alone
I’m at a stand-to, holding my ground
One word from you could turn it around

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah Bae, let's face it... my heart is downrange

/////---------------------------------/////

Downrange Heart blends military imagery with raw vulnerability, telling the story of a man who’s certain of his path but knows the woman he loves is still deciding if she can trust him. With heartfelt verses, soaring choruses, and a hook that lands like a stamp, “My heart is downrange”, this mid-tempo country track captures the tension between emotional exposure and the hope she’ll choose to protect what’s in her hands.

Downrange Heart

The candles are burning out, the room turns to gray
I waited all night, but your call never came
Thought you’d be the first, but the hours just bled
Silence in the room, echo in my head

Ten o’clock came, but still no call
Just a goodnight text, and that was all
I built up the hope that you’d think of me
And I was left with shadows of a melody

You forgot the day the world gave me breath
Left me alone with a weight in my chest
Time barely crawlin’, the night feels the same
On the one day I needed you, you never came

You forgot my birthday, and silence crept slow
Candles kept on burning, but they lost their glow
All the wishes I whispered just died with a choke
All of ‘em disappeared, just vanished in smoke

You forgot the day the world gave me breath
Left me alone with a weight in my chest
Time barely crawlin’, the night feels the same
On the one day I needed you, you never came

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
Just a little piece of your heart to hold
But today was just a number you let slip away
And I’ll remember the hurt more than the day

You forgot the day the world gave me breath
Left me alone with a weight in my chest
Time barely crawlin’, the night feels the same
On the one day I needed you, you never came

You forgot the day the world gave me breath
Left me alone with a weight in my chest
Time barely crawlin’, the night feels the same
That day I wanted you, only smoke came.

/////-------------------------------/////

This song tells the story of a birthday spent waiting for a call that never came. The candles burned down, the room turned gray, and silence took the place of celebration. With aching verses and a chorus that cuts deep, it captures the loneliness of being forgotten by the one person who mattered most. Written as a modern country ballad, it blends raw emotion with simple, haunting imagery that lingers long after the last line

Forgotten

I know I fell in love too fast
Tried to turn a spark into something that lasts
Lightning struck, I mistook the flame
For a steady fire that don’t burn the same

You weren’t searching, you were fine alone
Still you opened your heart, let this stranger be known
I came in too intense, and I know it felt wrong
Now I’m learnin' to love you in the way we belong

I can’t plant a seed and expect it just to grow
I can’t chase tomorrow, today is all I know
I can’t make the river faster than its flow
But I’ll start to love you in the way love should go
I want the kind of trust that time will never break
I want the steady ground no storm can ever shake
I want the quiet truth that only years can make
I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)

When the butterflies fade, I won’t walk away
I’ll be standing right here at the end of each day
I want the whole of you, not just a part
I’ll love who you are with all my heart

I barged in quick, disrupted your days
Now I’m learning love in a slower way

I can’t plant a seed and expect it just to grow
I can’t chase tomorrow, today is all I know
I can’t make the river faster than its flow
But I can learn to love you in the way love should go
I want the kind of trust that time will never break
I want the steady ground no storm can ever shake
I want the quiet truth that only years can make
I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)

I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)

/////------------------------------------/////

A tender modern country ballad about the truth of falling too hard, too soon. “I Fell Too Fast” is a confession of intensity and a promise to slow down, respect her pace, and build the kind of love that lasts. Stripped-back and intimate, it blends acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and warm baritone vocals into an honest, heartfelt performance.

I Fell Too Fast

She don’t always send a goodnight my way
And the silence can haunt the end of my day
All I need is a smile and her voice to say
That she wants me and I’ll be okay, yeah, I’ll be okay

When we’re together, she makes the world new
We’re burnin’ the sheets, oh, like lovers do
We talk through the day, sharin’ old and new
The quiet at night is what cuts me in two, yeah, cuts me in two

She’s my favorite human, to her my heart belongs
She’s my number one human, she makes me strong
She’s my favorite human, the fire in my soul
She’s my number one human, the beat of my song
The beat of my song

Her family’s the core of her reality
Her work and herself hold next priority
I know I’m not high on her list just yet
But I trust in a time when the pieces all set

She’s my favorite human, to her my heart belongs
She’s my number one human, she makes me strong
She’s my favorite human, the fire in my soul
She’s my number one human, the beat of my song

She’s the reason I’m stronger with each passing day
The anchor that keeps all my fears at bay
I don’t need tomorrow to prove what I say
I just want her forever, and I’m here to stay

She’s my favorite human, to her my heart belongs
She’s my number one human, she makes me strong
She’s my favorite human, the fire in my soul
She’s my number one human, the beat of my song

She’s my favorite human… my favorite human…
She’s my favorite human… my favorite human…

She’s my favorite human…

/////------------------------------------/////

My Favorite Human is a modern country ballad born from truth, the kind of song that blends intimacy and longing with playful, heartfelt energy. It celebrates the perfection of love when together, the ache of distance when apart, and the patience to hold on until the time is right. With echoes, crowd-sing moments, and a big double chorus, this track is built for both quiet reflection and festival sing-alongs.

My Favorite Human

We’re burnin’ through the daylight, then the night again,
Every kiss we’re sharin’ feels too real to pretend,
She whispers I’m her man, and I wanna believe,
But am I her forever… or just her maybe?

I ain’t seen the places where her roots run deep,
Feels like I’m a secret she still wants to keep,
Am I her story, or just a page turned fast,
A line in a book not meant to last?

Am I her forever, or just her maybe?
Her truth in the night, or a dream drivin’ me crazy?
The love in her heart, or a storm that cages me?
Am I her forever… or just her maybe?

Maybe it’s the distance, maybe it’s my past,
Maybe she’s just waitin’ to see if we’ll last,
Am I her song, or just a line out of tune,
Lost in the echo of an empty room?

Am I her forever, or just her maybe?
Her truth in the night, or a dream drivin’ me crazy?
The love in her heart, or a storm that cages me?
Am I her forever… or just her maybe?

I don’t need the whole world, just her hand to hold,
Her truth in the night, not the fire gone cold,
If love stays in shadows, I’ll never know,
I just need her light when the dark starts to grow.

Am I her forever, or just her maybe?
Her truth in the night, or a dream drivin’ me crazy?
The love in her heart, or a storm that cages me?
Am I her forever… or just her maybe?
Or just her maybe?

/////---------------------------------------/////

Her Maybe is a modern country anthem built on raw honesty and doubt. With driving guitars, soaring choruses, and a baritone vocal that asks the question we’ve all felt, “Am I her forever, or just her maybe?”, this track blends heartache with festival-ready energy. It’s the kind of song you sing loud with a crowd, beer in hand, when the hook feels just a little too close to home.

Her Maybe

I told you I’d slow down, give us time to breathe
Hoped it would help us, not push you from me
Slowing it down doesn’t mean I’m not here
I still want your laughter, your days, your tears

I’m here ’cause I love you, I won’t turn away
And I need to know if you feel the same way
I want us to grow old in more than today
So, I’ll wait for your heart when it’s ready to say

If you love me, don’t hide it, let my heart know
But if you don’t, don’t fake it, just let me go
Take my hand if you see us tomorrow
Take my hand through the joy and the sorrow
Love’s not a lie, it’s the truth we can see
And it’s only real when both hearts agree
Take my hand if I’m part of your plan
Take my hand, oh please take my hand

I don’t need perfection, I just need you to be true
Don’t need a promise that you won’t follow through
If you can’t see me in the life you’ve planned
I’d rather break now than keep reachin’ for your hand

You know that I love you, I’ll give you some air
What’s meant to be real will still find us there
The door’s always open, your pace is just fine
I’ll wait for the day you call yourself mine

If you love me, don’t hide it, let my heart know
But if you don’t, don’t fake it, just let me go
Take my hand if you see us tomorrow
Take my hand through the joy and the sorrow
Love’s not a lie, it’s the truth we can see
And it’s only real when both hearts agree
Take my hand if I’m part of your plan
Take my hand, oh please take my hand

/////--------------------------------/////

Take My Hand

I don’t walk this shoreline alone anymore
Together we’re stronger than ever before
Every flame that we share sets the dark skies alight
We are equals in love, and our hearts both shine bright

We are keepers of fire that cut through the night
Together we’re shining, our love is the light
Two beacons so strong, with or without
That love without fear, and love without doubt

You’re my lighthouse shining so bright
I’ll shine next to you, with my strength of light
Your flame and mine set the stars in flight
Two lights who chase the darkness of night

Like towers of stone, we’re steady and strong
No storm on the ocean can turn our love wrong
Through silence we stand, side by side we grow
Our love holds its ground, like the tides as they flow

You’re my lighthouse shining so bright
I’ll shine next to you, with my strength of light
Your flame and mine set the stars in flight
Two lights who chase the darkness of night

We are guiding the shore with a light that will last
Not a weight from before or a chain from the past
Step after step, we are finding our place
Two hearts find their rhythm, at their own perfect pace

Two pillars of light through the storms that may come
We’ll weather the night till the darkness is gone
Our bond standing strong, in the fire and flame
Where freedom and trust will forever remain

You’re my lighthouse shining so bright
I’ll shine next to you, with my strength of light
Your flame and mine set the stars in flight
Two lights who chase the darkness of night

You’re my lighthouse shining so bright
I’ll shine next to you, with my strength of light
Your flame and mine set the stars in flight
Two lights who chase the darkness of night

/////--------------------------/////

Two Lights is a powerful love song built on the imagery of lighthouses, two independent beacons standing side by side, weathering storms, and guiding the way together.

With its steady rhythm and evocative lyrics, Two Lights carries the feeling of something indestructible, a love that grows patiently, withstands darkness, and lights the horizon.

Two Lights

The more I know you, the stronger it proves
The fire in my chest only burns for you
Why would I hide what’s burning inside?
I know what I feel, and I won’t let it slide

I follow my heart, it’s the truth I choose
I feel it high like the Sun at noon
I love your smile, your laugh, and your touch
With every heartbeat, I can’t get enough

I won’t hide my heart when it beats for you
I mean every word, and you know it’s true
The world fades away when I’m holding you
The fire in my soul only burns for you
I won’t hide my heart

Love ain’t measured in years gone by
It’s living it loud with our heads held high
If the road ever bends or if our lights turn dim
I’ll still thank the fire I carried within

I won’t hide my heart when it beats for you
I mean every word, and you know it’s true
The world fades away when I’m holding you
The fire in my soul only burns for you
I won’t hide my heart

This is my moment, I’m givin’ it to you
My heart’s like a compass, it’s pointin’ to you
I know what I feel, I hope you do too
So I’m laying it down, I’m all in on you

I won’t hide my heart when it beats for you
I mean every word, and you know it’s true
The world fades away when I’m holding you
The fire in my soul only burns for you

No! I won’t hide my heart when it beats for you
I mean every word, and you know it’s true
The world fades away when I’m holding you
The fire in my soul only burns for you
I won’t hide my heart

I won’t hide my heart
No, not when it beats for you
No, not when it beats for you
I won’t hide my heart

/////-----------------------------------/////

I Won’t Hide My Heart is a modern country anthem about declaring love without hesitation. Instead of waiting for the “right time,” this song breathes confidence and honesty, when love is real, you speak it out loud. With driving guitars, a steady groove, and a bold vocal delivery, it captures the strength of living in the moment and laying it all on the line.

I Won’t Hide My Heart

The road was long through the autumn hue,
I charged the miles just to get to you.
The sun went down but my heart stayed high,
When your lips met mine under the bright night sky.

You called me Friday, said you had some chores,
Needed wood stacked by the winter’s doors.
So I hit that twisty northern line,
And reached the lodge a little past moonshine.

It’s just a snapshot, but it stayed with me,
A picture of how good love could be.
Just a snapshot, I can’t forget,
That kind of calm, I ain’t found yet.
Just a snapshot, but it hits that spot,
A weekend frame that time forgot.
Yeah, just a snapshot, meant to be,
A glimpse of you in a life with me.

A quiet place tucked in cedar trees,
Where the lake lay still like a photograph’s peace.
No breeze to move, no sound to chase,
Just you and me in that still-life space.

Still felt like summer that early fall,
We got things done before the frost would call.
The work went smooth in the cedar shade,
Sweat on our skin from the heat we made.

It’s just a snapshot, but it stayed with me,
A picture of how good love could be.
Just a snapshot, I can’t forget,
That kind of calm, I ain’t found yet.
Just a snapshot, but it hits that spot,
A weekend frame that time forgot.
Yeah, just a snapshot, meant to be,
A glimpse of you in a life with me.

You dove right in that October lake,
Cold as truth, made my body shake.
I followed after, the chill cut deep,
We dried on the dock where the sun could keep.

Music playin’ a little too loud,
Neighbors fussed, but we laughed out loud.
Cooke and Wallen on the speakers spin,
Two hearts easy, just driftin’ in.

It’s just a snapshot, but it stayed with me,
A picture of how good love could be.
Just a snapshot, I can’t forget,
That kind of calm, I ain’t found yet.
Just a snapshot, but it hits that spot,
A weekend frame that time forgot.
Yeah, just a snapshot, meant to be,
A glimpse of you in a life with me.

/////-------------------------------/////

A modern country storytelling song about one unforgettable October weekend — cedar shade, warm sun, shared work, laughter, cold lake water, and the kind of quiet love that feels like home. Honest, vivid, and deeply personal, “Snapshot” captures the beauty of real moments that linger long after they’re gone.

Snapshot

He won’t ask you to change your name,
He’ll whisper it soft like the wind.
He won’t promise what won’t remain,
His love’s a steady flame.

He won’t run when your storm rolls through,
He’ll stand in the rain with you.
He’ll always find new ways to impress you,
His silence will carry you.

[Chorus]
Don’t lose a man like that,
The one who stays when the fire turns black.
Who’d see your mess and still holds your hand,
Who loves you quiet but loud in his plans.
Don’t lose a man like that,
If your world falls off track.
You know he’ll always have your back,
Don’t lose a man like that.

He’s not perfect, but still he tries,
With truth behind his eyes.
He sees your beauty when you don’t,
And gives his faith to your heart.

He won’t play the games they play,
He’s done with the noise that way.
He won’t beg just to make you stay,
He’ll love you anyway.

[Repeat Chorus]

He’s your warmth in the cold night air,
A heartbeat when none is there.
He’s good with his hands, can fix what’s broke,
And give you pleasure with the same stroke.

[Chorus 2]
Don’t lose a man like that,
The one who loves you where you’re at.
Who’ll stand through your worst and never look back,
Who holds your truth like it’s all he has.
If he’s in your life, baby, hold him tight,
You don’t get two hearts like that.
It’s a fact, 
Don’t lose a man like that.

Don’t lose a man like that.

Don’t Lose a Man Like That is an intimate, emotional ballad about the quiet kind of love, the kind that fixes what’s broken, holds steady through storms, and doesn’t ask you to change to be worthy.
It’s not a confession, not a statement, just a moment of truth about what real devotion feels like when it’s lived, not spoken.
This song isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence, about the hands, the heart, and the quiet faith of a man who loves deeply but never loudly.

Don’t Lose a Man Like That

We meet in the middle, both driving alone
Trade stories and smiles till we’re back on our own
We don’t need promises carved in stone
But when I’m with you, it feels like home

[Chorus 1]
Do you talk about me when your guard is down?
When you’re sharing your life and I’m not around
Do they know there’s someone who holds you tight
Who makes your hard days, feel a little more right?
We’ve got everything but the words that’s true
But do you talk about me, like I belong to you?

There’s a ring in my drawer, and a story behind
A mark on my arm, from another time
I’ve chosen to leave, that old life behind
And now I’m ready to walk with your hand into mine

[Chorus 2]
Do you talk about me when you’re with your crowd?
When the laughter fades and your thoughts speak loud
Do they know there’s someone who holds you tight
Who makes your hard days, feel a little more right?
We’ve got everything but the words that’s true
But do you talk about me like I belong to you?

I know there are moments I’m not part of yet
Family weekends and long trips I don’t get
And I’m not rushing, I know what this takes
I just want to be a part of the life that we’ll make.

I’m not asking for a timeline we both know can’t be
I just know in your arms is where I’m meant to be

[Chorus 3]
Do you talk about me when the stories flow?
When your mom asks questions, you don’t quite know
Do your close ones know there’s a name you keep
That’s more than a smile you hide 'fore you sleep?
We’ve got everything but the words, that’s true
But do you talk about me like I belong to you?

Do you talk about me…
Like I talk about you!
