My album Love/Hate PT. 1 OUT NOW!!
ALBUM: orcd.co/lovehate1
This is the 3rd single and title track of the album. This song in particular details the space I was in when I wrote most of this project. Not wanting to lose love but really feeling the weight of the instability... wanting to hold on because of the parts that feel like love even though I was aware that it had been poisoned. Not wanting to be the person that lets go even though I could see that we had reached the point of no return. Admitting to not even wanting to uphold boundaries and over-compromising because having love and having a person felt like a necessity to me at the time. I hope this song reaches everyone that needs to hear it and I hope they know that there is a lot of beauty on the other side of letting go when they feel like this. "In the end love always wins." You will find the love that takes you across the finish line, but you're going to have to let go of the love that isn't every time.
LYRICS:
I leave
I come back
I'm just reacting
One day we're good the next
I'm packing my shit up to leave
It's getting taxing
How did we get here?
See I can admit it's getting toxic
But it's so good
When you're good
It's classic
I know better
Just can't seem to manage without you
When I try to
Baby I miss you
And I miss how it feels just to kiss you
I start to regret having issues
With things that I know I deserve to
I don't wanna be the one that's losing
Love and then we hate it's so confusing
I don't wanna be the one that's losing love
Is that enough?
I don't know
Fake left, take right
Ain't gonna fight
We can't heal overnight
I don't wanna be the one that's losing you
I need your attention
It's a couple things that I need to mention
I've never been one to hold my feelings in
Rather be honest
So I ain't gotta
Miss you
And miss how it feels just to kiss you
I won't have to regret having issues
With things that I know I deserve to
I don't wanna be the one that's losing
Love and then we hate it's so confusing
I don't wanna be the one that's losing love
Is that enough?
I don't know
Fake left, take right
Ain't gonna fight
We can't heal overnight
I don't wanna be the one that's losing you
