1.	Alone 04:04 video	lyrics
and I am doing fine without him found my piece of mind without him but I need to heal my heart if I want a new start Myself I need to find I want to take the time I know that I should not rush love comes with you do not push I know that I should not rush I need to be alone never doubted myself before him but I surrendered myself to him now I recognize that I need to love mine Myself I need to find I want to take the time I know that I should not rush love comes when you do not push I know that I should not rush I need to be alone And if I find a new man ask him what he'll do for me will he add to my life what I had been missing and if I find a new man Tell him he can't change me no 'cos I know that I am enough I am all that I need I know that I should not rush Love comes when you do not push I need to be alone I need to be alone I need to be alone
2.	Crush 03:03 video	lyrics
Been alone for a while now Seems I've lost my heart In my dreams we have everything But in truth we are so far I know that you are scared of me I know that you will never be In love with me like I'm with you In love with me like I'm with you Tears streaming down my face It happens all the time How do you find the broken piece When you're heart's beating out of time? You know that I am scared of you You know that I will never do Anything to hurt you Even if I can't have you Hey that crush is breaking your heart He's crushing your heart x 4
3.	Fear 04:10 video	lyrics
tell me that you need me say it with your eyes a wise woman showed me this way he never lie caught up in distraction running from the pain but am I really living if I am afraid it won't come easy but it feels so right dreams are flowing through my mind it won’t come easy and it could break my heart it won’t come easy and it could break my heart but I won't let fear defeat me hold me back I'll break free I won't let fear defeat me hold me back I'll break free Some see with their eyes but I see with my heart You give me special feelings don't want to be apart but one day you might leave me one day you might be gone it's better to have loved even with a broken heart it won't come easy but it feels so right dreams are flowing through my mind it wont come easy and it could break my heart it wont come easy and it could break my heart but I won't let fear defeat me hold me back I'll break free I won't let fear defeat me hold me back I'll break free [bridge] I won’t let fear defeat me Hold me back I’ll break free
4.	Touch 03:35 video	lyrics
I used to be alone now I only think about you Every night I spend alone now I only dream about you Oh I always sleep alone now I dream I’m sleeping with you Oh I used to be alone Used to be alone Let me stand beside you let me love and heal you Let me stand beside you let me love and heal you tell me what you're feeling tell me all the things tell me all the things you're afraid to say I used to be alone now I only think about you Every night I spend alone now I only dream about you Oh I always sleep alone now I dream I’m sleeping with you Oh I used to be alone Used to be alone Let me stand beside you let me love and heal you let me stand beside you let me love and heal you Do you dream of me too? Do you see me with you? I’ll tell you all the things I’m afraid to say Cos I want to tell you everything I'm feeling Everytime you touch me Everytime you touch me Cos I want to tell you everything I'm feeling Everytime you touch me Everytime you touch me Cos when you love me it's like [solo] Used to be alone Used to be alone Do you dream of me too? Do you see me with you? Do you dream of me too?
5.	Connection 04:20 video	lyrics
I have to follow what I feel accept my ups forgive my downs and with an open heart I keep my feet on the ground He taught me love he taught me strife took my hand and held on tight and through his pain I came to see I could set myself free we had a real real real real connection it was a true true true true reflection we only get what we're ready for He pulled me out of my world and from the truth we would run but there's only so long on this earth before your time is up we had a real real real real connection it was a true true true true reflection we only get what we're ready for Take me where the river it flows and never comes back Wash myself of guilt and my woes and now I am free Take me where the river it flows and never comes back Wash myself of guilt and my woes and now i am free I had the weight of our world on my shoulders he never helped me carry it I had the weight of our world on my shoulders he never helped me carry it Further away that I run i grow stronger I'll never look back again Further away that I run i grow stronger I'll never look back again Oh and how the river it flows and never comes back Oh and how the river it flows and never comes back Oh and how the river it flows and never comes back Oh and how the river it flows and never comes back
6.	Destruct 05:00 video	lyrics
my whole life has changed just overnight I don't know who to be I don't know what to seek Memories rushing in they blur my sight I laugh so I don't cry, I laugh so I don't cry Though he's on his knees I say good bye Such bigger things at hand He cannot understand so he Self destructs Self destructs Self destructs So he Self destructs Self destructs Self destructs All I want is to heal these scars heal these scars And from him I will run so far run so far run so far Run so far that I can't recollect And when I see his face My heart won't start to race He will not bring me down Although he tried I'll find a stronger man who takes my hand so I don't Self destruct Self destruct Self destruct I don't Self destruct Self destruct Self destruct All I want is to heal these scars heal these scars And from him I will run so far run so far Run so run so far Run so run so far All of the things I have sacrificed to be who I am All of the things I have sacrificed to be where I am All of the things I have sacrificed to follow my dreams All of the things I will sacrifice to follow my dreams And I'm moving on, on (x 4) All I want is to heal these scars So I don't self destruct All I want is to heal these scars So I don't self destruct All I want is to heal these scars So I don't self destruct All I want is to heal these scars So I don't self destruct
7.	Patience 03:26 video	lyrics
I know that we were really close But at some point we need to grow Maybe we just weren't meant to be (Meant to be no, meant to be no) Maybe in time we both will see I know that it's hard but Have a little patience Have a little patience I know time heals all so Have a little patience Have a little patience At times I can be so confused So I step back for a larger view I find it's best to just sit and wait (wait and see yeah wait and see yeah) The answer the truth it always finds its way I know that it's hard but Have a little patience Have a little patience I know time heals all so Have a little patience Have a little patience Time to learn time to love Time to learn time to love Nothing's good when you hurry You gotta take time (time to learn, time to love) Nothing's good when you hurry You gotta take time (time to learn, time to love) So much pain in this life we lead Time to learn time to love Brave the storm take the time you need Time to learn time to love Ups and downs make our life complete Time to learn time to love Brave the storm take the time you need Time to learn time to love Time to learn time to love I know that it's hard Have a little patience I know time heals all so Have a little patience
8.	Run 04:58 video	lyrics
the man lets the girl go with no self control you'll never find a love like mine he tells her so so she feeds her fears believes the man desperately wants her freedom so she takes a stand I decided to run away fast as I can go Run until my feet fail me I decided to fly away high as I can go Fly until the sun melts me she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies The girl thinks the pain is gone it sneaks up on her wounds need time to heal this she has learned the fight is to keep faith alive and put love first she'll fight until the day she dies pain is only growth I decided to run away fast as I can go Run until my feet fail me I decided to fly away high as I can go Fly until the sun melts me she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies Sooner or later you'll run until you can't no more sooner or later Sooner or later you'll run until you can't no more sooner or later [solo] Sooner or later you'll run until you can't no more sooner or later Sooner or later you'll run until you can't no more sooner or later she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies she writes she runs she cries she flies
9.	Young 03:57 video	lyrics
When I was young they said don’t roam too far Don’t roam too far then you cannot get lost When I was young they said don’t fall in love Don’t fall in love then you can’t break your heart When I close my eyes Memories they lie Leave me wondering why Why can’t I move on get him out my head Alone in bed Much time passes by Days becoming weeks All I can think Is how everything used to make sense Back when I was young When I was young all you had to do was lie And sweetly smile and everything was alright When I was young everything was black and white But now with open eyes I see endless shades When I close my eyes Memories they lie Leave me wondering why Why can’t I move on get him out my head Alone in bed Much time passes by Days becoming weeks All I can think Is how everything used to make sense Back when I was young [guitar solo] When I close my eyes Memories they lie Leave me wondering why Why can’t I move on get him out my head Alone in bed Much time passes by Days becoming weeks All I can think Is how everything used to make sense Back when I was young
10.	Fall 03:27 video	lyrics
There’s a limit for what I can handle My peace of mind is the scale And when the stress boils up it drains my spirit I’m looking for how I can bail I can’t fall for you My heart broken in two Away my confidence flew I need to find myself I can fall for you Too much work to do Pain reveals the truth I need to love myself And I have to put myself first Down and out ain’t the way to be Then the desperation eats away integrity Suddenly my soul ain’t free Soul ain’t free woah I can’t fall for you My heart broken in two Away my confidence flew I need to find myself I can fall for you Too much work to do Pain reveals the truth I need to love myself [drum solo] [guitar solo] I can’t fall for you Away my confidence flew I need to love myself I need to find myself I need to love myself I can’t fall for you My heart broken in two Away my confidence flew I need to find myself I can fall for you Too much work to do Pain reveals the truth I need to love myself

about

I'm asking for your help to get my next release, The Love Anthology (release date January 25, 2025), out into the world with this fundraising campaign. Our goal is $10,000 and every little bit helps, whether that means pre-ordering my release or just spreading the word! I like to think of y'all as not just my fans, but members of my team, and it's only your support over the years that has allowed me to remain independent especially since as you might have heard, streaming payouts are extremely low (and getting lower) and touring is getting to be harder than it ever was. You can also check out my IndieGogo (link in the community tab) for more comprehensive perks, like pre-ordering vinyls, t-shirts, CDs etc. Thank you for your support.
