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

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.

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

I’ve built my own road, and I’m walkin’ it true
I don’t need someone to make me feel new
But when I’m with you, the fire burns bright
Love’s even better when two hearts unite

I’m not here to break down the walls that you keep
I’m here to share love, not to dig in too deep
If you open your world, I’ll give all I can
But I won’t stand waitin’, I’m already a man

Meet me halfway, don’t turn away
Meet me halfway, let love have its say
I’m here with my heart, and I’m here to stay
If you want me, darlin’, meet me halfway

I’ll keep movin’ forward, I won’t lose my stride
I’m strong on my own with no need to hide
But life’s a whole lot sweeter when it’s shared in two
So the choice isn’t mine, it belongs to you

Meet me halfway, don’t turn away
Meet me halfway, let love have its say
I’m here with my heart, and I’m here to stay
If you want me, darlin’, meet me halfway

I know my own heart, and I know what is true
I’m ready to share all this love here with you
I don’t beg for more, I don’t fake what I feel
Take it or leave it, but you know it’s real

Meet me halfway, don’t turn away
Meet me halfway, let love have its say
I’m here with my heart, and I’m here to stay
If you want me, darlin’, meet me halfway

If you want me, darlin’… meet me halfway

Meet Me Halfway is a modern country ballad with a bluesy edge, built on honesty and self-confidence.

With its soulful hook, steady groove, and heartfelt delivery, this song resonates with anyone who’s ever wanted love to be true, open, and mutual.

Meet Me Halfway

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

[Verse 1]
She lights up a room with a single word
Makes strangers feel seen, makes hearts get stirred
Gives her time to the world outside
Then comes home quiet with her heart still tied
I love how she moves, how she builds her days
Turns small things gold in the simplest ways
But I sit beside her and feel the chill
When love is warm, but the space won’t fill

[Chorus]
I can’t keep fading just to let her shine
Can’t keep loving her from the borderline
I’d give her my heart, I already have
But I need her here, not just a half
She’s got a fire I’ll never tame
But love ain’t real when it’s just my flame
I still believe she cares for me
But she doesn’t see, the way I bleed

[Verse 2]
I’ve watched her heal the broken and lost
Give herself away, no matter the cost
But when it’s me that needs her hand
She’s miles away with another plan
I’m proud of her strength, her fight, her pride
But I’m tired of livin’ just outside
Love shouldn’t hurt for it to stay
It shouldn’t fade when I turn her way

[Repeat Chorus]
The way I bleed
The way I bleed

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m wired to hold too tight
Maybe it's the distance that feeds my fright
But peace won’t come if we keep this dance
Half in fear and half in chance
I love her soft and I’ll love her true
But I’ve gotta love myself too
She’s the storm I’d never trade
But even storms need calm someday

[Repeat Chorus]

The way I bleed
But she doesn’t see, the way I bleed

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

The Way I Bleed is an intimate acoustic ballad about loving someone who keeps their walls up, and the quiet ache of being close but never quite let in. Told through tender honesty and restraint, it captures the moment when love meets self-preservation. With warm acoustic guitar, soft piano, and a soulful baritone vocal, the song blends country storytelling with the raw vulnerability of modern pop-soul. It’s a confession, not a confrontation, a reminder that sometimes, the deepest love is knowing when to stop losing yourself.

The Way I Bleed

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!

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