Love Unrequited 03:38
lyrics
buy track
I’ve said all the right things But you’re feeling the wrong things Every time my phone rings Oh woah baby it’s never you Oh woah, I’ve given you the right signs But you’ve taken them the wrong way What will another day bring Oh woah, baby can’t it be you… You, oh, oh can’t it be you You, oh, oh can’t it be you Love unrequited, never gonna see the light Love unrequited, never gonna sleep the night. Oh, woah, woah unrequited love, oh it hurts Oh, woah, woah unrequited love. I’ve sent out good vibrations But you’ve only shown indifference It’s been an education, oh. I’m practically positive Just one of us feels negative Am I just and irritation, oh woah, woah, to you… You, oh, oh can’t it be you You, oh, oh can’t it be you Love unrequited, never gonna see the light Love unrequited, never gonna sleep the night Oh, woah, woah unrequited Love unrequited, never gonna see the light Love unrequited, never gonna sleep the night Oh, woah, woah unrequited love, oh it hurts Oh, woah, woah unrequited love.

Message To Self 03:45
lyrics
buy track
One time, I was a messed up kid A truly messed up kid But broken dreams start to mend With time, a life inhibited A path prohibited Like all things comes to and end And I would say this to my younger self Oh my younger self Forget what other hard hearted people say Those people don’t matter anyway I know that it’s hard to hear now But trust me it gets better everyday You may not run with the coolest kids But you’re beautiful and you’re talented You don’t need nobody else A message to your, message to yourself. And now, I sense a brand new day A beautiful new day with fresh dreams picked for my room Reborn in every kind of way On sunlight’s healing ray As flowers of hope start to bloom And all the doubting of my younger self Sit upon the shelf. Forget what other hard hearted people say Those people don’t matter anyway Where once it was hard to bear now It’s changed it’s so much better everyday So you don’t run with the coolest kids Know you’re beautiful and you’re talented You don’t need nobody else A message to your, message to yourself. Message to your, message to yourself.

Those Monsters 02:35
lyrics
buy track
I wanna be the person who was never there for me When you need somebody, that person I will be I’ll never let those monsters turn out your light I’ll never let those monsters scare you at night. Never give up hope, never give up faith And I will give you a warm embrace I will, I will, I will... Always be the person who is always there for you I never want nobody to feel what I went through. I was never good enough for others in my school, I was tortured, isolated, kids can be cruel. Never give up hope in your darkest place, When you’re feeling beaten and the bully’s in your face I will shine a light, you will make it through Music saved me, it can save you to. I will,I will, I will... Never give up hope, never give up faith And I will give you a warm embrace I will, I will, I will Hold you still

Stay with me, talk to me, cus I don’t know where I went wrong Stay with me, talk to me, arms around to keep me strong Lay with me; hold me tight, till all the night is gone Just one last time, we’re not a crime; let me believe there’s nothing wrong Cus there’s one short straw, and guess who picks it One thing for sure, I gotta fix it Cus I want you and I need you and I wish you could hear me I will love you forever more I wanna say just how I feel, but nothings coming out And I need you to know just what it’s like, watching you leave unable to shout Cus there’s one short straw, and guess who picks it One thing for sure, I gotta fix it Cus I want you and I need you and I wish you could hear me I will love you forever more…short straw Stay with me, talk to me, cus I don’t know where I went wrong Just one last time, we’re not a crime; let me believe there’s nothing wrong Stay with me, talk to me, cus I don’t know where I went wrong Just one last time, we’re not a crime; let me believe there’s nothing wrong

How I'll Stay 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Let’s go, let’s hide, let’s run away. Let’s go where no one knows our names. I want to see you when I open up me door, I want to stay with you forever more But I’m scared of this life, scared of this love Scared of what’s happening to me, But I know I’ll be fine because in my mind you’re with me. They don’t know who we are; they don’t know what they’re dealing with. They can try to track us down, but baby we don’t catch easily. Because I’ve got you, and you’ve got me and baby that’s all that I need boy I’ve got you, and you’ve got me And that’s how I’ll stay. You’re facing me with that stare; I’m standing with my soul bare. You’ve seen me like no one’s done before; I thought that at least you would know the score. Now you’re walking away from me and as I watch, I see I start to bleed. I’m lying here, on the floor; don’t think I can take this anymore. Because I’m still scared of this life, still scared of this love Still scared of what’s happening to me And I don’t think I’ll be fine because in my mind, you’re not with me. I don’t know, who I am, I don’t know what I’m dealing with. They can try to track me down but baby now I catch easily. Because I ain’t got you and you ain’t got me but baby there’s more that I need boy, I ain’t got you and you ain’t got me Don’t know what to say. A year’s gone by and I am on my own, it never felt so good to be alone. I can’t believe that I ever needed you look how good I’m doing without you. And I’m not scared of this life, not scared of this love, Not scared of what’s happening to me And I know I’ll be fine because in real life, you’re not with me. They don’t know who I am; they don’t know what they’re dealing with. They can try to track me down, But baby I don’t catch easily Because I ain’t got you and you ain’t got me but baby that’s more than I need boy, I ain’t got you and you ain’t got me And that’s how I’ll stay.

Mojo 03:20
lyrics

Kicking back memories, and wasting time I’m finding new melodies, writing new lines Sweep a new broom, sing a new song Play a new tune called moving on Finding my feet again, making up rhymes I’m finding my mojo a note a time. Sweep a new broom, sing a new song Play a new tune called moving on Nobody knows you like I do But bringing back memories won’t conjure you Unto my own self, I’ll be true Moving on, moving on, moving on. I looked in the mirror and guess what I see My life’s so much clearer now I’m living for me Forgetting my old life and starting anew The time is now right to live without you Nobody knows you like I do But bringing back memories won’t conjure you Unto my own self, I’ll be true Moving on, moving on Nobody knows you like I do But bringing back memories won’t conjure you Unto my own self, I’ll be true Moving on, moving on, moving on.

Lost & Found 04:13
lyrics

Searching for something that I never lost Searching for someone who I never was But the sense of loss Keeps yearning, burning as cold as frost Wears me and bears me down like a heavy cross A heavy cross Oh but I keep searching for something that I never lost And the memory weighs on me like an albatross An albatross Lost and found Lost and found Lost and found Be tranquil, the monster is in the past We will be here to sing you home at last Home at last Be peaceful, it’s all gone, be safe and sound We will hold open arms and fold them round The lost and found Lost and found Lost and found Lost and found Lost and found We will hold open arms and fold them round The lost and found

Spellbound 03:41
lyrics

I see you once and I am gone Somewhere off the Richter scale And I could fall for you headlong; I’m like a sapling in a gale A force so strong, my defences start to fail I’m hanging on by a ragged fingernail Spellbound I will never be the same Tongue-tied, can’t even say my own name Love-struck, like a moth drawn to a flame To passers-by I’m acting strange I’m standing still, you’re long since gone 20 times the lights have changed Still you echo on and on My mind is blown; my heart is stuck in jail Your bird has flown; my love is in full sail Spellbound I will never be the same Tongue-tied, can’t even say my own name Love-struck, like a moth drawn to a flame Spellbound... Spellbound... Spellbound... Spellbound I will never be the same Tongue-tied, can’t even say my own name Love-struck, like a moth drawn to a flame, Like a moth drawn to a flame.

Falling Apart 04:05
lyrics
buy track
So far away from me is where you are I’m on my own now that you’ve left me in the dark And I can’t believe that I’ll never see you again And I can’t believe that I’ve lost you my friend. When I saw you lying there, I didn’t know who you were You weren’t who I thought anymore, the whole idea seemed absurd And ever since that fatal day, although I didn’t know it then You’d changed forever, but now I know it was for the better. Why, why did you have to go? Why, why did you leave me here alone? I’m falling apart, You’ve broken my heart and there’s nothing left to say, Why, why did you go away? The morning we laid you down to rest in the earth Is the morning I cried for you and everything that you were worth Why, why did you have to go? Why, why did you leave me here alone? I’m falling apart, You’ve broken my heart and there’s nothing left to say, Why, why did you go away? I’m so lost in the dark; I’m so far apart from the world and what it meant to me I’m all on my own, so scared and alone, Won’t you come and help me please. Why, why did you have to go? Why, why did you leave me here alone? I’m falling apart, You’ve broken my heart and there’s nothing left to say, Why, why did you go away? I’m falling apart, You’ve broken my heart and there’s nothing left to say, Why, why did you go away? I’m falling apart, You’ve broken my heart and there’s nothing left to say

Wayward Son 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more. Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a bling man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I’m dreaming I can hear them say Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more. Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man It surely means that I don’t know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about like I’m a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say Carry on my wayward son They’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more, don’t you cry no more.

Maddie Leeper England, UK

I'm Maddie,18 from Brighton. I love my family, my cake and most of all my music! Life hasn’t been the easiest; I've had my share of hardships & was never able to truly express how I felt to others. So I channelled it through the songs you're listening to here. They represent my progression towards the person I am today. These compositions are my story. I can’t wait for you to take the journey! ... more
