about

I've had many peers fund their music projects via crowd funding. Somehow I can't bring myself to do this even though it is a super smart move. The closest I can get to it is to let you set your price through this website. If you would have donated to the cause via a crowdfunding campaign, I would be forever grateful if you would like to help fund my next song by purchasing this song through bandcamp and setting your own price. Thank you so much in advance!

lyrics

Hold your tongue
Play it smart
Keep your words
In your heart

We were doomed
From the start
Keep our dreams
Far apart

Fight back the tears in your eyes

I'm gonna love you light
We'll never turn out right
The love I give, I tend to get

So I'm gonna start a fight
It hurts but pain goes by with time
And if we're lucky we forget

Go on
Cut me out

My lovelight
Has gone out
It won't shine
It just doubts

Your lovelight
Can be found
In your eyes
You let it drown

Flickering out when you cry

I'm gonna love you light
(Lovelight)
Our stars just don't align
(Don't align)
I'm not just playing hard to get
(You're playing hard to get)

Here's where we say goodbye
(Just say goodbye)
Here's where the truth becomes the lie
(Here comes the lie)
Here's where we promise to forget

Go on
Let it out
Shine under your own lovelight now
Go on
Cut me out
Out of your lovelight now
