about

A song describing how the emotions I felt whilst navigating the music industry as a young, independent artist.

lyrics

Tell me
You want me
Then leave me
And haunt me
Tell me
How would you
Feel ‘bout that?

You tease me
And ease me
I dream of
What could be
You promise
But you’ll always take it
back

You’ll never understand
The race is in your hand

‘Cause I can’t afford to fail,
Know for you this isn’t real
You say you get it,
Forget it
There’s no way you can see when

The wind’s been on your side
But I’ve had to fight the tides
That pull me in, I can’t win
Nothing’s fair in a race like this

Your words rang
So hollow
You told me to follow
Did you ever think
How would I
Feel ‘bout that?

The dreams that
You sold me
With stories
You told me
It cost me
All that I ever had

You’ll never understand
The race was in your hands

Forget it,
How could I think you’d get it
I know that you never meant it.
We can’t go back.
How would you feel about that?
