Chapter Text

LYRICS

 

(Verse 1)

When I was younger

All I wanted was the crown

My father wore atop his head

I swore I’d never let him down

But look at me now

 

(Chorus 1)

Cause every dragon that I slayed

Was another pill to take

And every smile he shot my way

It wasn’t enough, it was never enough

Maybe I was never enough

 

(Verse 2)

Expectations

It was all part of the game

That I loved with all my heart

Still it broke me all the same

They only loved me for my name

 

(Chorus 2)

All those walls that I built up

Just to keep from crashing down

No one tried to break me out

They didn’t care, no they didn’t care

to show me how

Until you came around

 

(Bridge)

A rocky start when it began

I thought I couldn’t let you in

You saw right through the mask I wore

You changed my world, you unlocked the door

You ended my own inner war

 

(Chorus 3)

Was punished for all that I’d done

For all the wars I could’ve won

And all those ways that I’d fucked up

But you didn’t care, no you didn’t care

You showed me love

 

(Ending verse)

was waiting for my life to start

After all that I’d gone through

But now I know straight from the heart

It started here, it started with you

It started with you.

Notes:

Thank you guys so much for listening and supporting this project! It's been so much fun to write, record, and have my brother produce these tracks. And of course seeing all your reactions was amazing <3

I still can't believe "closet story" is almost at 500k streams on SoundCloud! "this boy" and "sweet tooth" are also at around 250k and 35k respectively,,,it's actually insane-

Might be putting the whole EP on Bandcamp at some point if that's something that interests enough people, so let me know what you think!! As always, you can talk to me on tumblr about these songs or anything else! :)

Notes:

come talk to me on Tumblr at b1ttle!! I'll be posting updates about the upcoming tracks as often as I can!

Comments and kudos are always appreciated!! I'd love to know what you guys think about each song! <3
