[Verse 1]
You came ‘round in the morning like you didn’t disappear
Left lipstick on the counter and regret in my mirror
You say, “It’s complicated,” like that’s news to me
But I’ve been solving puzzles since you lost your key

[Pre-Chorus]
I poured my love in your half-empty glass
Watched you sip it slow, then let it pass
You said you’re scared to feel too much
So why’d you come back for that midnight touch?

[Chorus]
I can’t keep loving with half a heart
While you keep pulling mine apart
You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark
Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark
If you can't stay, then don't even start—
I ain't playing house with half a heart

[Verse 2]
Your records still spin like nothing’s wrong
But the silence between the songs is long
You wear that charm like it don’t cost a thing
But darling, lies ain't gold, they just glitter and sting

[Pre-Chorus]
Told your mama I was just a phase
She said I deserved a better place
You keep your truth behind your smile
But I’ve been wise to that for a while

[Chorus]
I can’t keep loving with half a heart
While you keep pulling mine apart
You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark
Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark
If you can't stay, then don't even start—
I ain't playing house with half a heart

[Bridge – spoken/sung style]
I’d rather dance alone in my red suede shoes
Than share my bed with your shifting moods
Don’t need your maybe, I want your more
But I ain’t beggin’ like I did before

[Final Chorus – soft at first, builds up]
No, I can’t keep loving with half a heart
You’re a haunted tune in a broken chart
I’m done with the guessing, done with the art
Of holding together what falls apart
So take your silence, take your part—
And leave me whole, with my full heart

[Verse 1]
I get high on you babe. I get high on your love.
I get high on you babe. I get high on your love.

Baby I'm living for what we wanted, and that's to be in love.
With only you, yeah.
And girl, I'm giving you what you wanted.
All my love, and that's a love that's true, yeah.
I get high up on your love, babe.

[Verse 2]
I get high on you babe. I get high on your love.
Baby I'm living for what we wanted,
and that's to be in love.
With only you, yeah.
You know I'm giving you all you wanted.
All my love, and that's a love that's true, yeah.
I get high up on your love, babe.[

[Chorus]
It’s not ‘cause I don’t care,
It’s just the weight I can’t hold everywhere.
I breathe it in, then I let it fly,
What’s outta my hands, I don’t let it define my life.

[Verse 1]
People think my silence means I ain’t affected,
But I’m high sensitive - I feel it, I respect it.
Back in the day, I’d lose sleep, overthink deep,
Every word, every look, kept me up in the heat.
It left marks on my mind, like graffiti in the rain,
Learned peace ain’t found in replayin’ the pain.
I still get caught, thinkin’ ten steps ahead,
Worst-case in my head, just to soften the dread.
And yeah, there’s a moment when the storm clears the air,
I smile, ‘cause the fear I had… wasn’t even there.

[Chorus]
It’s not ‘cause I don’t care,
It’s just the weight I can’t hold everywhere.
I breathe it in, then I let it fly,
What’s outta my hands, I don’t let it define my life.

[Verse 2]
See, some things ain’t yours to carry or control,
Some truths, they belong to another soul.
I can’t change what they think, can’t rewrite their page,
But I can check my heart, keep my peace on stage.
So I break it down - what’s fact, what’s mine to own,
What’s outside my reach, I just leave it alone.
It’s a lesson in balance, a test of grace,
Learning when to fight and when to give space.
It’s not apathy, nah, it’s survival in the raw,
Protectin’ my spirit from the weight I saw.

[Chorus]
It’s not ‘cause I don’t care,
It’s just the weight I can’t hold everywhere.
I breathe it in, then I let it fly,
What’s outta my hands, I don’t let it define my life.

[Outro]
Not every battle’s mine.
Not every thought’s worth my time.
I’m still here, still feelin’, still real.
I just choose where I heal.

I don't care ft. Jerome Lake


Let me 
be part of your game
and let me
be your owner for once

Let me
be the only one
to caress your body
and shower you with kisses

I'll be your pillow
and watch over your dreams
I'll be your mirror
or the one who gives you advice

Heart,
to steal your secrets
I'll be whatever you want me to be
as long as I'm not far away

I'll try
so you don't have to look for
the warmth
of a love that isn't mine

I want you to feel me
I want you to cry and not lie
and I want you to understand
that you are all my love

Let me
be part of your game
and let me
show you that I can

Let me 
be the only one
to caress your body
and shower you with kisses

I'll make you feel
like a queen bee
I'll be your slave and your king
I'll be your love if you let me

I'll try
so you don't have to search
for the warmth
of a love that isn't mine

I want you to feel me
to cry and not lie
and I want you to understand
that you are all my love

Let me 
participate in your game
and let me
be your owner for once

Let me 
be the only one whose hands
caress your body
and shower you with kisses...

Let me...

It’s easy for you to see what I didn’t do 🤔🤔

Easy For You

Listen To Her is a heartfelt collection of love expressed through action, patience, and presence. Each track captures the intimacy of everyday devotion — cooking together, dancing in the kitchen, writing love notes, and communicating with honesty. The songs speak to a deeper kind of romance, where respect is shown in the details, responsibilities are shared, and love grows stronger through listening and understanding.

This project is a celebration of partnership — being best friends, lovers, and life partners all at once. Smooth grooves, tender vocals, and soulful instrumentation create the perfect backdrop for lyrics that remind us that true connection isn’t built on grand gestures alone, but on the simple, thoughtful ways we honor each other every day.
