I have released my fourth very own single and I am quite pleased with it myself. I wrote the melody and the lyrics, and it was produced by Sam Sonntag at Colla Records (as usual). 
 
Here is some background information on what inspired the song: 

‘When you have someone whom you really care for, the thought that they could ‘’up and vanish’’ at any given time is scary. In this song I talk about the feeling of comfort and safety we get from our relationships, whether it is real or perceived. In romantic relationships you might do everything you can to keep them happy and content in an effort to avoid the end. This person represents so much happiness that you’re afraid that the same person will disappear forever. Almost like dying you’ll never hear their voice, see their face, listen to their stories or get the chance to make them happy again.


I wrote this song after having a very important discussion with my partner. We’d been going through a hard time and this was a moment where we could open up, be honest and clear things up. I thought that this had brought us closer and with new hope for our relationship I wrote this song whilst reminiscing of our years together. Writing a song was also a way for me to calm my overwhelming emotions. However, while writing I got a gut feeling that he was going to leave. I felt like expressing it all in the song.’

Lyrics:

Don’t leave

cap 0


Vers 1:

Hands through your hair

So messy, didn’t think I would like that

You’re nothing like what I imagined

But you’re better than what I dreamed

The world it kind of fades out

and then it’s only us

It’s kind of scary


Chorus:

So

Don’t leave

I don’t think my heart could take it

I’ll bleed 

All of my thoughts in to 

Light screams

In hopes that you hear what I want

Don’t let me fall apart


Vers 2:

Hand in mine

some silence from us both but it feels fine


Start to feel my heart drum on my ribs

and I want you to pull me closer

The world it kind of fades out

and then it’s only us

It’s kind of scary


Chorus:

So

Don’t leave

I don’t think my heart could take it

I’ll bleed 

All of my thoughts in to 

Light screams

In hopes that you hear what I want

Don’t let me fall apart
