about

Stripped down, raw acoustic guitar and vocals tell a tale of pain and heartbreak, leading to a hint of hope in a powerful climax.

lyrics

I’m knocking on the same door
I’ve knocked on it a hundred times before
I’m a lunatic to think that you won’t hurt me again
It’s the whole of you that beats me
Not the pieces in between
So I’ll keep my distance, just never know you

A heart is flesh, it’s a bloody mess
When it's broken it's over
I cannot fix it
But neither can you

I walk beside you, (I want to hold your hand)
I feel the sunlight (I want to hold your hand)
But I’m certain that you’ll hurt me, so I pull back
I’ve taken the chance again, I’ve convinced myself
I’ll give you my heart again, from the dusty shelf
I’ll see my face in your eyes, I’m warm
You’ve burnt me down

You set my world on fire, and then you walked away
You've kindled my desire, and then you walked away
You’ll always be a liar, you’ll always walk away
But I’ll keep trying
