[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 Weekly Breach Breakdown Podcast: The Stolen Goods – Pixnapping Target Android Devices - S6E33

Life sucks, doesn't it? I want to take control of my life, but it seems that every time I try, something gets in the way of it. I'm tired of being someone I'm not, I just want to be myself.

Lyrics:

I'm still waiting, I'm still contemplating
Even after all this time, I still feel I'm fading
And if I'm still aging, am I still awaiting
The pieces of my life that still need some explaining
I wake up lonely, I want someone to hold me
Every day's a test for me, the ground isn't below me
I break up slowly, the world don't even know me
Can I live this agony, do I continue posing?

I live a life of peace, if peace means agony
I live a life, believe me, it's train wreck travesty
I live a life, I'm honest, I'm careful and I'm cool
I live a life, an artist must never break the rules

I want a life that brings me joy
I want a life where I have a choice
I want a life where I can stay
I want a life where I'm okay

I'm still waiting, I'm still contemplating
Even after all this time, I still feel I'm fading
And if I'm still aging, am I still awaiting
The pieces of my life that still need some explaining
I wake up lonely, I want someone to hold me
Every day's a test for me, the ground isn't below me
I break up slowly, the world don't even know me
Can I live this agony, do I continue posing?
I want a life that brings me joy
I want a life where I have a choice
I want a life where I can stay
I want a life where I'm okay

I want to lie in bed, to go to sleep tonight
I want to fix my head, this melody ain't right
I want to be myself, I wanna dream
I want to fix my health, I wanna be

I want a life that brings me joy
I want a life where I have a choice
I want a life where I can stay
I want a life where I'm okay

I'm still waiting, I'm still contemplating
Even after all this time, I still feel I'm fading
And if I'm still aging, am I still awaiting
The pieces of my life that still need some explaining
I wake up lonely, I want someone to hold me
Every day's a test for me, the ground isn't below me
I break up slowly, the world don't even know me
Can I live this agony, do I continue posing?
I want a life that brings me joy
I want a life where I have a choice
I want a life where I can stay
I want a life where I'm okay
I want a life that brings me joy
I want a life where I have a choice
I want a life where I can stay
I want a life where I'm okay

I'm Still Waiting (Prod. peril)

I Corinthians 13:1-8a
Today we’re continue our series on fear by looking at the fear of intimacy.
Fear of intimacy is a feeling of discomfort with emotional or physical closeness, often stemming from childhood trauma, neglect, or fear of rejection. It can manifest as avoiding physical contact, difficulty being vulnerable, or maintaining a facade of perfection.

Fear of Intimacy

"Little Love" is a heartfelt reflection on emotional scars and the struggle to love someone who’s been hurt before. With poetic vulnerability, the lyrics explore the tension between abundance and fear, between giving fully and receiving fragments. This song is for anyone who’s ever felt like they had too much love to give—and nowhere safe to pour it.

"Pouco Amor" é uma reflexão comovente sobre feridas emocionais e a dificuldade de amar alguém que já foi machucado. Com uma vulnerabilidade poética, a letra explora a tensão entre a abundância e o medo, entre dar por inteiro e receber em pedaços. Essa música é para quem já sentiu que tinha amor demais para dar—e nenhum lugar seguro para derramar.

Little Love

🕯️ “I heal for me, not for you to clap.”

A raw, spoken-word rework of the original "No Witness, Still Worth It" from the Before It Breaks album — this version leans deeper into the quiet defiance of healing in the shadows.

Over ambient lo-fi piano and minimal trap percussion, CC3PO delivers a vulnerable and explicit confessional about choosing survival without applause, finding purpose without praise, and rebuilding silently when no one’s watching.

The lyrics hit like real-life bruises: unpaid therapy, empty rooms, ignored cries, and strength born in silence.

🔊 For those who feel unseen but still show up.
🎧 For the ones who stopped explaining themselves.
💔 For the days when your only win was not giving up.

No Witness Still Worth It  Explicit Remix

🔻 Song Insight
“You Fade” by 4Me2BeFree is an acoustic requiem for the living ghost of someone who once mattered. It’s not about grief through death—it’s about grief through survival. The track explores what happens when love becomes a distortion of itself, when truth burns away and what’s left is the echo of what could have been. With its stripped-back acoustic layers, fragile female vocal, and raw emotional delivery, “You Fade” captures the haunting stillness after heartbreak—the static hum that lingers long after the noise has died.

🔻 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What I wanted was what you would take
Far away from what you said to me
It’s not just the pain—but something worse,
A prayer turned praise to fame

[Pre-Chorus]
I was a card in your grand ballet
Discarded love and nothing’s left

[Chorus]
Had you died, I might’ve had peace
You lived long enough to kill my dreams
Every lie still breathes inside of me
And I fade with every dead memory

[Verse 2]
You became what you swore you’d never be
A fire that burned through love leaving misery
The screams of silence where your name used to sing
Now I’m learning how to live with everything I’d see

[Pre-Chorus]
I was a card in your grand ballet
Discarded love and nothing’s left

[Chorus]
Had you died, I might’ve had peace
You lived long enough to kill my dreams
Every lie still breathes inside of me
And I fade with every dead memory

[Bridge]
You can’t face your reflection, it screams too loud
All your truths come crashing down
And if you ever saw what I now see—
You’d never survive being you, or me

[Outro]
You fade
Fade away
Please fade
Fade
Fade

🔻 Personal Reflection
This song was born from the quietest kind of heartbreak—the one that doesn’t end when someone leaves, but when they stay and become unrecognizable. “You Fade” is that moment when anger dissolves into understanding, when forgiveness becomes survival. It’s a farewell not to a person, but to the illusion that once held them together.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
For 4Me2BeFree, every song is a mirror. “You Fade” belongs to the cinematic mosaic of stories that reveal love, loss, and rebirth through sound. The project transforms vulnerability into power, turning pain into melody and memory into art. Each track carries a pulse of truth—imperfect, human, and fiercely authentic.
