(Verse)
Took my hand and held me
While you had somebody
Back in Raleigh
And I know now
Roll up to my city acting lost and lonely
Clinging to me
And I know now

(Pre-Chorus)
I’ll be taking out the trash
Cuz what you did was trashy
I ain’t looking back
I bet if she’s asking

(Chorus)
I bet you left it out
I bet you left it out
That night you know exactly what I’m talking about
I bet you left it out
I bet you played it down
leave out all the details she can’t know about

(Verse 2)
I honestly feel so bad for your hometown lady
all she has is what you're comfortable saying
guess what you said and how you said it must've been killer
cuz if I was her cuz I've been her
I know I'd believe ya

(Pre-Chorus)
but I'm taking out the trash
cuz what you did was trashy
it’s a little sad, but I hope you’re happy

(Chorus)
I bet you left it out
mmm I bet you left it out
that night you know exactly what I’m talking about
I bet you left it out
i bet you played it down
leave out all the details she can’t know about

(bridge)
said you loved me forever
well I dare you to tell her
said you missed being together
well I dare you tell her
dare you to tell her
dare you to tell her

(repeat chorus)

(Outro)
Said you loved me forever
well I dare you to tell her
Said you missed being together
well I dare you to tell her

Bet You Left it Out

Fake Scenarios 
Vocal Melody and Lyrics by: Anh Le 
Produced by: Charlie Kurata 

Hold up
whatever you do… 
don’t wake me up 
cuz you want me too 
in all my 
Fake scenarios 
I’d even 
pay my weight in gold 
to have it come true 

Cleaned my house
I’m even wearing my
little silk nightgown…
I’ve been preparing 
for that crazy opportunity you wanna take it off of me
it’s happens in my dreams at least 
typed a text 
just to erase it 
cuz I obsess
my hands are still shaking
cuz I made a deal with destiny 
little prayers on repeat 
Like if I say the right things 
than you’ll come through 

that’s one in a million things 
I’ve went ahead and I planned 
meet you at the bottom of a drink 
and I’ll take what I can 
Can you just? 

Hold up
whatever you do… 
don’t wake me up 
cuz you want me too 
in all my 
Fake scenarios 
I’d even 
pay my weight in gold 
to have it come true 

So I found this tuxedo I bet 
You’d look so good in 
For all the parties we’d go 
Or 
Maybe for a wedding
Introduce you to my family 
Let’s share a plastic christmas tree
Literally have anything 
Do you see it too? 


that’s one in a million things 
I’ve went ahead and I planned 
meet you at the bottom of a drink 
and I’ll take what I can 
Can you just? 

Hold up
whatever you do… 
don’t wake me up 
cuz you want me too 
in all my 
Fake scenarios 
I’d even 
pay my weight in gold 
to have it come true

I'm single and I'm ovvvErrrrr it 

written by: Anh Le 
Produced by: Charlie Kurata 

lyrics:  
they said being single would be good for my health 
but I’m sick of it 
anyone who says I should work on myself is so full of it
I can’t help but feel like I”m wasting my time 
they said being single would be good for my health 
but I’m sick of it 

showed up at the bar in a mini skirt
talking to some boy 
but I’m leaving first
bout to lose my mind cuz I’m 
boooored
I’m looking for more 

I’m single and I’m over it 
I’ve never been good at it 
plz
someone fall in love with me and let me know
screw this self-discovery, I’m so alone 
I’m single and I hate this shit 
I’m pretty fucking bad it 
used to count the days but I’m now I’m losing track 
there’s gotta be somebody who might want me back 

everybody acts like
if I move fast 
and if I really tried
they said that I just need to 
find somebody else to 
take things off my mind 
get a new distraction 
like if I wanted to happen it would happen 
yeah everybody says that 
but I think everybody’s just lying

I’m single and I’m over it 
I’ve never been good at it 
plz
someone fall in love with me and let me know
screw this self-discovery, I’m so alone 
I’m single and I hate this shit 
I’m pretty fucking bad it 
used to count the days but I’m now I’m losing track 
there’s gotta be somebody who might want me back 

they said being single would be good for my health 
but I’m sick of it 
anyone who says I should work on myself is so full of it
I can’t help but feel like I”m wasting my time 
they said being single would be good for my health 
but I’m sick of it 

I’m single and I’m over it 
I’ve never been good at it

POV you're on a beach at sunrise :) 

so excited to share a love song to myself!! bubbly is out now on all streaming platforms

written by: Anh Le and Charlie Kurata 
Vocal Melody and Lyrics by: Anh Le 
Produced by: Charlie Kurata 

LYRICS: 

I’m my own best friend and company 
I’ll be sipping bubbly on the beach 
what exactly could you do for me that I can't do? 

took myself to breakfast 
I picked the booth 
and I even scored table with the waterside view 
I just love it when nobody tells me what to do 
that’s why I need a better reason to want you  

cuz I’ve been in love 
I know 
what I get 
and what I give up 
I’m dying for a rush 
not another boy who’s gonna take too much 


I’m my own best friend and company 
I’ll be sipping bubbly on the beach 
what exactly could you do for me 
that I can’t do? 
 
I'm my own best friend and company 
I'll be sipping bubbly on the beach 

I climbed a mountain just for the heights
figured it'd just be like riding a bike 
knew I could do it and damn I was right 
and I won't look down 
check it off of my checklist 
I could turn a vision to life 
if somebody wants to be mine 
they really gotta be somebody 
worth my time 

I’m my own best friend and company 
I’ll be sipping bubbly on the beach 
what exactly could you do for me 
that I can’t do? 
 
I'm my own best friend and company 
I'll be sipping bubbly on the beach

[Verse 1]
I wanna swing
Lean back and kick up my feet
Turn into a little kid
It won't work, but I wish it did

[Verse 2]
What would I give
To fight and get mad at my friends
Hear an apology
And that'd be enough for me
Oh



[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere in the decades
Somewhere in the, somewhere in the mess I made, oh
I let it get all complicated
Started giving in on all my expectations
I'm lost, but I'm running like I'm racing
It's my world, but I'm ruining and saving
Midnight, and it's just another day but, oh

[Chorus]
Guess I'm turning twenty-four
Whether or not I'm ready for it
I'm ready for it
Getting myself this far
Might as well say I'm rеady for it
I'm ready for it

[Verse 3]
Wishing of candles on the cakе
I could be ten or eighty-eight
I'm still gonna have the same old questions
Like if I met "younger me" today
And give her advice, would she listen?
Would she like the life I've been living?
Broke my heart and slammed a few doors
Had to learn to like me some more
[Bridge]
my life is not a movie
But I've got moments
Like pictures in frames I've went and stolen
Kissing right before I board a plane
Calling my mother everyday
Right now when I need a quick escape
I think I'm gonna be okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere in the decades
Somewhere in the, somewhere in the mess I made, oh
I let it get all complicated
Started giving in on all my expectations
I'm lost, but I'm running like I'm racing
It's my world, but I'm ruining and saving
The twenty-first is just another day but, hm

[Chorus]
Guess I'm turning twenty-four
Whether or not I'm ready for it
I'm ready for it
Getting myself this far
Might as well say I'm ready for it
I'm ready for it

[Verse 1]
Flew to Paris for the weekend
Just to get away from my feelings
Nonstop flight, duffle bag on the low
Paid for the WiFi just to update my phone

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all of the boys back home
Must be wondering where on Earth did I go (Where'd she go?)
They could put all the pieces together
That I'm happy and doin' better

[Chorus]
If you heard it on the internet
Then it must be true
Well, it must be true
Then it must be true
If you saw it on the internet
Then I'm over you
Well, I'm over you
Guess it must be true

[Verse 2]
Word on the street
I've been out on the town
Kissing brand new faces
With names I can't pronounce
If I'm gonna be sad
I'll be sad in style
I'd rather cry wearing vintage Chanel

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all of the boys back home
Must be wondering where on Earth did I go
They could put all the pieces together
That I'm happy and doin' better

[Chorus]
If you heard it on the internet
Then it must be true
Well, it must be true
Then it must be true
If you saw it on the internet
Then I'm over you
Well, I'm over you
Guess it must be true

[Post-Chorus]
Then it must be true
Then it must be true

[Bridge]
Remember how you used to know me
Like the back of your hand
You never felt quite so far
And I guess that's how it is
And I hope you're sitting back home
And wondering where on Earth did I go
I could put all the pieces together
And I'm happy and doin' better

[Chorus]
If you heard it on the internet
Then it must be true
Well, it must be true
Well, it must be true
If you saw it on the internet
Then I'm over you
Then I'm over you
Guess it must be true

[Post-Chorus]
Heard it on the internet
So I guess
Then it must be true
Saw it on the internet
So I guess
Then it must be true

heard it on the internet

text me the alphabet backwards
let’s make a secret code 
whenever you want to make the great escape let me know 
if you need an excuse 
you can blame  it on me
I’ll be the bad guy for you 
so what if she wants forever
that’s not the way it has to go 

so baby just
blink twice 
if she’s holding you hostage
give me a sign 
and I’ll be on it 
I’ll get a car 
if you get your bags 
run away and don’t look back 

Blink twice 
if she’s been
holding you (x2)
Hostage baby
Let me help you break free 
Oh I’ll make you mine
I just need a sign 
Blink twice
if she’s been
holding you 

ohhh
in case you just wanna let her know 
let her down easy 
tell her everything was right 
when the time was right 
kiss her on cheek when you apologize 
don’t tell her about our crazy kinda chemistry 
how everything is better when you’re here with me 
you and I know 
I know you know 
So just let her go

blink twice if she's holding you hostage

I Like Me Better - Lauv (ÊMIA remix)

Music and Lyrics by: Anh Le (ÊMIA) 
Produced, Mixed, Mastered by: Ellis Forman (middle school) 

Empty room,  possessions in boxes 
summer starts…another year gone
I’ll be back - finish what I started 
As for you? You’re moving on 

And I do my best to not let any fear show on my face 
when you talk about the things you’ll do and how you can’t wait 
to be driving far away from here to get away 
from here and now 
from here and now 

But what about the late night talking with you in my arms?
what about the view from rooftops underneath stars
was it not enough to lie here with me with all of my heart 
was I not enough for you

Hear your voice…and picture her face
wondering what you don’t say 
she’s just a friend and you wish you were with me
and when you ask…I say ‘I’m okay” 

I try not to think how life would be if you had stayed
or if you’re coming back to be with me get in the way 
of here and now 
of here and now 

Bridge: 
I’m just counting time till I’ll be as happy as you are without me 

I’m taking in the sunlight, walking, passing by cars
looking out of windows, wondering, where you are
and if I’m ever gonna lie here with you but I’m alone in the dark 
Was I not enough for you? 
Was i not enough for you?

Not Enough

This was how the song was born. Just me and piano.

Not Enough (Acoustic Version)

Every song I write is a little piece of me. I have finally found the courage to start sharing them. For every single I release each month, I want to share 2 "other songs", they are the songs that I'm proud of but aren't necessarily the ones I want to ever release or make a big deal out of.  They could be songs that have been " in the vault" for a long time...or just songs I write in passing that encompasses how I feel in the moment of that month. I just want you to come along with me as a share more pieces of myself.

What Would It Feel Like

100 Sheep

Last winter, I had a friend give me a joke writing assignment. He told me to write a song with the word "potato" in it. I kept going back to this line I wrote ( which was in the original draft of the song). "We want steak with our potatoes. We want whiskey with our wine." The steak and potatoes line was stupid. But the idea that we want everything without knowing ever being satisfied stuck with me. I was going through a time when I wasn't really sure what I what I wanted to do with music as well as where I was going with my own relationships. I keep saying " everybody's lost" but I really just mean "I'm lost" haha. 

ALSO
This is the first original song that I've released that was produced by me! I'm trying to learn every day so any feedback might break me a little but is probably much needed :P 

Many thanks to the incredible @austinhullofficial for mixing and adding vocal magic unto the finished product. 

 


Lyrics:
We try and make the perfect list of all the things we want 
always starving, always staring 
Spend our days counting dollars, staring at the clock 
always starving, always starving 

We’ll be dancing on the table 
drinking whiskey with our wine 
We'll be stumbling on the floor 
Yet we're still unsatisfied 
So we're..

We’re wishing on stars, smoking cigars 
Just to find some feeling 
Everybody's lost, everybody's lost
We’re finding ourselves, falling apart 
we don’t know what we’re doing 
Everybody's lost everybody's lost

We dream of things that don't exist 
The voices in our heads say we're... 
always starving, always starving 
Moving from one place to the next 
We always want what's best 
Always starving, always starving  

We want cake lit up with candles 
Filled with berries from the vine 
We're so full and yet we still feel 
So empty on the inside 
So we're
 We’re wishing on stars, smoking cigars 
Just to find some feeling 
Everybody's lost, everybody's lost
We’re finding ourselves, falling apart 
we don’t know what we’re doing 
Everybody's lost everybody's lost


Everybody’s Lost
Everybody’s Lost 
Everybody’s Lost

Everybody's Lost

hiiii - teleprompter - is yet another song about not knowing what to say. i think i need some help

Guitars: Ben Youngblood 

Lyrics
we were safe in “the someday”
living in the maybe not right now but if we wait
push aside all “the sometimes”
we’re starting to become these people we don’t even recognize
I push and pull
I try to make excuses
while I start to slip away
I’m forth and forth
weighing out my options
should I go or should I stay?
I need a teleprompter
something to tell me what to say
words to make this work
or words to make this a clean break
I need a better writer
who’s been through this scene before
I don’t know what to say no more
compromise, dodging another fight
holding on to moments good enough for us to get by
kiss and lie, yeah another lie
tell each other absolutes when we’re unsure inside
I’m back forth and forth
weighing out my options
should I go or should I stay?
I need
(repeat chorus)
I don’t wanna mess this up but we can’t pretend can’t pretend that we’re fine
I don’t wanna mess this up when we’re already already on the line

LYRICS: 
Guess I was the one who was too naive 
Thinking you’re the one I could run to when the rain starts falling
Water’s rising up and it’s getting higher 
Clouds are rolling in this stormy weather 
Where are you now when I need you most? 

You tell me lately all I do is bring you down 
You don’t know what to say when I’m around 
You don’t ask but you’d prefer, I take my sorrow and my hurt
somewhere else

If you wanna run away 
the moment all the tears start falling down my face 
I won’t stop you 
Go and try to run away 
if you can’t take the rain 
if you can’t take the rain 

Looking at my life from a new perspective
I am not the girl that I expected to be 
lift my head right off your shoulder 
stand up straight, I’m getting older
realizing wants from what I need 

If I have to, I know I will let you go 
I am less and less afraid to be alone
I thought you oughta know the truth 
but maybe it’s too much for you 
in the end 

If you wanna run away 
the moment all the tears start falling down my face 
I won’t stop you 
Go and try to run away 
if you can’t take the rain 
if you can’t take the rain 

I hoping that you will wake up and find that you were just afraid 
that all you need was time and my love for you find your strength 
that if I calm and if I am kind and give you enough space
that would bring you closer 


If you wanna run away 
the moment all the tears start falling down my face 
I won’t stop you 
Go and try to run away 
if you can’t take the rain 
if you can’t take the rain

Lyrics:
I get a little panic attack 
Thinking ‘bout how I should act 
On the day I run into you again 

I’ve always imagined you laughing 
With all your friends who don’t know what happened
And I’ll be wishing I could one day forget

The night that you said to come over 
Gave me a kiss on your shoulder 
Now I bet if I died tomorrow
We’re the only people who’d know 
How you said my name like you got 
What you have waited for so long 
Why’d you even pull me closer? 
If you knew this would all be over 

I’m just another lover you hide
Somebody you used for the night 
Our story ends here 
With you and me 
Where nobody looks behind the scenes

I’m just another lover you played 
Add me to your long list of names 
Our story ends here 
With you and me 
Stuck in my head
Behind the scenes 

You and I 
Should have stayed strangers
I never really knew you at all 
Cut me like a piece of paper
Making me feel so small

What exactly where you after? 
Leading me so far along 
Drag me through this whole disaster 
To get what you want

I’m just another lover you played 
Add me to your long list of names 
Our story ends here 
With you and me 
Stuck in my head
Behind the scenes 

Just you and me where nobody looks behind the scenes

Well I’m crazy 
from the moment I wake up 
the first thing I think of 
is you 
and last night 

my dreams 
are making things much worse
want you so bad that is hurts 
it’s true 

it’s 7 am, I already know, you’re walking your dog in the park… 
I could hop on the train and make my way there 
I just wanna be where you are 

oh!
I’ll never be the chill type 
I’m the real type who 
oh!
I know how I get like 
when it feels right (yeah) 
I’m coming off needy
 a little bit desperate
 a little bit manic
but I wouldn’t change it 
nah nah nah 
I’m always gonna be the type, be the type, by type who’s 

Needy 
Desperate 
Manic 
but I like that!

I hit you up when I miss you 
but I miss you all the time 
I don’t wanna just see you 
I need to break my way into your life 
I’m making up all this stuff in my head
too late to regret anything that I said 
I hit you up when I miss you 

it’s what I do 

it’s 11 pm, and you’re drunk at bar, with one of the girls that I know…
her face on your screen I know what that means 
I doubt you’ll be sleeping alone 
UGH!


oh!
I’ll never be the chill type 
I’m the real type who 
oh!
I know how I get like 
when it feels right (yeah) 
I’m coming off needy
