Fear of Intimacy

A lonely night is part of anyone’s life
Though I can’t say I’m used to
an only son, a bunch of cousins in the summertime
and some creativity to get me through
But now I run a home of shattered dreams and restarts
Sometimes I feel my heart is split in two
So come on and sleep over, help me kill some time
Just don’t ask questions. I’m so confused
Well, love is not as clear to me
as when I was young
And now it’s twice as hard (than it was before)
Everyone is paralyzed
They’re aching to go fast
but fear compels them to go slow.
My guess is that we are all afraid to be alone
the Doctor says even wolves live in packs
Since humans are the only mammals who are cruel
we put up barriers to protect ourselves
From love we didn’t ask for
things we don’t expect
to change up our daily life we trust is safe
Now I’m also paralyzed,
my heart was running fast
‘til it was tackled by your fears
We can always blame it on bad timing
I guess we all should take
Responsibility for our own happiness
What I feel for you is not a simple thing
Sometimes it’s so hard to forget
I know you’ve been harmed, babe it’s such a shame
I’m not the first guy to’ve met you
What you feel for me I don’t know for sure
You’d rather discuss casual subjects
You know I’ve been harmed, so many times
You’re not the first girl to’ve met me

Raising Love

A glass of gin and tonic, and some asian food
(You) stepped in here by chance
I wasn’t waiting for you
Indeed I was kind of lost, looking inside my soul
But that’s another lore
that doesn’t fit in this song
Because this song is about a raising love
That no one knows for sure where it will end
And I’m so into it, I’m scared about it every time we meet
It happened so fast, I started to doubt my own luck
Ooooh after all I’ve been through, I can’t risk to live a rebound love
So many times I tried so hard to cope with all my feelings
It’s not an easy task, if you ask me, to slow down with you
I never felt my life could inspire a play in some theater, play in some theater.
(And) you showed up, and everything’s brand new. Again.
I know you’re freaking out about our Instant fling.
It’s not so hard for me, because you called me sweet
You know it more than me, love is a great clichè
Babe don’t be afraid
to enjoy and live it
And if it doesn’t work
I’ll always write new songs
Although I’d rather not
I’d want to stay in this one

Mood Swing

I’m so sorry, I gave up on being the saviour
This is too much weight, more than I want
to carry on my back, it still hurts from the last one
It’s not up to me to save you
from yourself.
Please forget my name
erase my face from your eyes
stop looking for
someone to be part
Of your twisted life
Stop dragging people
into your mess
No one deserves
To save you
from yourself
We’ve been through so much
I flew back to you, darling
I wasn’t afraid to fall down
I’ve done all those things
Not for you, for me.
One gotta take risks to succeed.
But all you’ve done has
nothing to do
If whether I’m happy or not.
Now we have some growing up to do
I shouldn’t blame you, I’m in kind of a process too
To heal the scars and try to figure out
Why I (ever) let you…
Mess up with me.
Love and hate,
your mood swings.
A man should know how to choose battles wisely
you’re not my responsibility
Im mine
You’re just someone I left behind
It’s up to me to begin my
upward spiral
It feels so good to be in control
and give myself a fresh start
You once said to me:
babe, welcome home.
But only now it’s starts to feel like one
And this is the first and the very last song
that I wrote you .

The Con Lovers

Oh, you got your way
With more questions than answers and no remanences
I couldn’t recognize you
Couldn’t find any words to prevent your anger
If this is who you really are,
so who was the girl I met before?
and now that I’m alone
Could you introduce me to her ?
If this is who you really are,
so who was that girl I loved before?
now that she’s lost and gone
Why can’t you leave like her?
You know, it will take some time
To get back on track,
Don’t make me beg. Please: get out.
Now, pack your things
And make your plans to go.
You want me to miss you, babe,
you’re asking for way too much
I once met a woman. I thought she was the one.
She was a con lover.
She wanted someone that brings her up.
She had to bring you down.
Watch out my friend, you gotta protect you heart.
From all the con lovers.
Watch out my friend, you gotta protect you heart.
From all the con lovers.
(I’m) stepping out tonight
(I’m) (gonna) break some hearts
on my way home
I’ll go this wild
And I’ll play hard
(just) to forget you.
Now I see who you really are,
you’re not the girl I fell in love with
So let me be on my own
I can find someone like her
So if you can’t be like this girl
You know that makes me sad
But this out of my control
Sometimes this life can really seem unfair
I know this much I just need you to go
