about

This song is one I wrote well before I thought of making this EP. Yet, it encapsulates everything I felt as I began working on the EP's production.
Fear. Insecurity. Abandonment. Resilience. That's all this song talks about.

lyrics

I heard a little story once before
Stop me if you think you’re getting bored
It’s PG-13, so no, not scary anymore
It’s got brief nudity
Though not the kind you could ever see
It’s about a girl and how she wa-as

Scared of goin’ out there
Scared of what she’d find
And he was holding onto freedom
With her chained by his side
It’s a hard act to follow
All alone
It’s a hard life to lead
When it’s not your own

Still he left her behind
Years ago
Went searchin’ for the wrong things
Holdin’ out for more
Don’t think he’d ever come back
Runnin’ through that door
But she loved that boy
She knew once before

She was wondrin where he went to
Hopin’ that he’s fine
So sick of contemplatin’
‘Bout his voice on the other line
Just throwin’ out emotions
He could never ever show
Though she loved that boy
She didn’t know him anymore

Not since he left her behind
Years ago
Went searchin’ for the wrong things
Holdin’ out for more
He keeps sayin that he’ll come back
Runnin’ through that door
But she’s not that girl
He knew once before

Oh, she’s not scared of goin’ out there
She’s not scared of what she’ d find
He’s still holdin onto freedom
But she’s not there by his side
And it’s a hard act to follow
All alone
It’s a hard life to lead
But now it’s her own
(own)
Her own
(own)
Her own
(own)
