Verse 1
One look was all it took
I'm hooked, can't give you up
First kiss, a tender touch
I knew right then something was up
I know the truth
But I can't ignore you

Hook
Ooh, I see it in your eyes
Mmm, I bet you womanize


Pre chorus
He pulls them in, will never commit
Heartbroken fools, he's cold to it all


Chorus
He's dangerous, dangerous
One touch and you're lost, lost
Ooh, so dangerous
I knew it the moment we touched

Verse 2
I should've known better
You lied to me
Even worse, I believed
Now I see it all too clearly
I still tried to see what I wanted
I fell so deeply for you

Hook
Ooh, I see it in your eyes
Mmm, I bet you womanize


Pre chorus
He pulls them in, will never commit
Heartbroken fools, he's cold to it all


Chorus
He's dangerous, dangerous
One touch and you're lost, lost
Ooh, so dangerous
I knew it the moment we touched

Bridge
I admit I knew better
Never meant to let you in
But I couldn't forget how good it felt
I always knew you'd leave
Off to your next target
Mr. Loves-and-Leaves-them

Verse 1
It's true I broke you
You broke me too
Play the victim
This is nothing new
Ooh you know it's true

Pre chorus
Therapy, and all the pills
They didn’t help — what’s your excuse?

Chorus
You say you love me
I think I hate you
We play like broken fools
We let the fire choose

Oh right — it’s always about you
I’m invisible under your ruse
Ooh you know it’s true

But tell me — what’s your excuse?

You can't save me
But I'll break you
Its nothing new

Verse 1
Through space and time,
I’m always late to your life.
Would you wait
Just a little longer this time?
Maybe it’ll be different next life—
I swear that I am worth the effort.

Pre-Chorus
I promise I will find you faster next time;
Our love won’t turn into a lesson next time.
No locked doors between our timelines.

Chorus
And if I find you,
Would you recognise me?
Can you see my soul just looking in my eyes?
Let me take off this life’s disguise.


---

Verse 2
I’m drifting through this existence
While you’re out living your life.
Is it hard to wait?
Are you just killing time?
Did we make this same promise last time?
Are we learning life’s lesson yet?

Pre-Chorus
I promise I will find you faster next time;
Our love won’t turn into a lesson next time.
No locked doors between our timelines.

Chorus
And if I find you,
Would you recognise me?
Can you see my soul just looking in my eyes?
Let me take off this life’s disguise.

Bridge
Maybe this time you could find me first
Instead of always waiting for me.
Our souls are calling—
Rip off this life’s disguise.
Called to each other,
We recognise it’s our time this time.


---

Pre-Chorus
Promise me we’ll find each other faster this time;
Don’t let our love be a lesson next time.
Unlock the doors between our timelines.

Chorus
And if you find me first,
I know I’ll recognise you.
I see your soul just looking in your eyes.
Let us take off this life’s disguise.

This life's disguise

Verse 1
Ooh, the many moods of you
Always trying to anticipate your next move
I know it’s coming,
Out of nowhere
You switch it up just like the weather
A storm is coming... I’m not ready


Hook
Unpredictable, unpredictable
I can't predict your next move.
Unpredictable, unpredictable.


Pre chorus
Hyper-vigilance
You burned it into me
I brace for the next strike

Chorus
I try to shrink out of your sight
Stay out of your mind tonight
I won't face the storm this time
Every strike marks the darkness of my broken mind

Verse 2
Which version of you will come through?
I live in fear, forever confused
You seem so tender in this moment
But the storm of your wrath brews beneath this act

Hook
Unpredictable, unpredictable
I can't predict your next move.
Unpredictable, unpredictable.


Pre chorus
Hyper-vigilance
You burned it into me
I brace for the next strike

Chorus
I try to shrink out of your sight
Stay out of your mind tonight
I won't face the storm this time
Every strike marks the darkness of my broken mind

Bridge
Another day treading carefully
Afraid I’ll be another tragic statistic
I don’t want to live this way
No more predicting if you’ll turn on me again

Hook
Unpredictable, unpredictable
I won't exist just reading your moods
Unpredictable, unpredictable.


Pre chorus
Hyper‑vigilance
You burned it into me
But I’m out of reach of your strikes
It’s time to heal from this

Chorus
I won’t shrink out of your sight
I’ll be haunting your mind tonight
This time the storm is mine
I won’t strike - but I’ll hit you where it hurts, justice on my side

Storm is mine

Verse 1
Love is a funny thing,
The more it fades,
The more the yearning lingers,
And I just want to give in.


Pre chorus
Ooh, the one that got away,
This time, why won't you stay?
Why won’t you stay?


Chorus
I call out your name,
Hoping you'll come love me
The way you did again.
Hold me through the night,
Don’t make me wait
I need a taste

Mmm
Mmm
Ooh


Verse 2
Memories come flooding in
Taking me back in time
Just to live there again
Should I give in?


Pre chorus
Ooh, the one that got away,
This time, why won't you stay?
Why won’t you stay?


Chorus
I call out your name,
Hoping you'll come love me
The way you did again.
Hold me through the night,
Don’t make me wait
I need a taste

Mmm
Mmm
Ooh

Bridge
I know I shouldn’t be pulled back in,
But love keeps calling me—
And I keep answering.
I can’t pretend this is ever the end.

Pre chorus
Ooh, the one that got away,
This time, why won't you stay?
Why won’t you stay?


Chorus
I call out your name,
Hoping you'll come love me
The way you did again.
Hold me through the night,
Don’t make me wait
I need more than a taste

Mmm
Mmm
Ooh
More than a taste

A taste

Verse 1

You broke my heart
So I broke your ride
Hope you enjoy that long, cold walk tonight —
Thought you could play me, not this time.

Was it me who crossed the line?
No — it’s your turn to pay this time.

Pre chorus

Ooh, I’m not through with you
Mmm, it's payback time for the things you do

Chorus

This is your retribution-
Time to face the pain you made
I’ll bring you to your knees
And make you break
Ooh, Mmm

Verse 2

You got violent, then you’d gaslight
Thought I’d break — but that’s not my type

Did you think you could cross that line?
When the truth comes out, it’s your turn this time

Pre chorus

Ooh, you should worry what I'll do
Mmm, payback is coming right back to you

Chorus

This is your retribution
It’s time you taste the pain you made
I’ll bring you to your knees
And watch you break
Ooh, Mmm

Bridge

Your time is up — I’ve had enough
I cried until I lost my love
You couldn’t break me
So I broke you
Retribution’s coming for you

Pre chorus

Ooh, look at what I've done
Mmm, I've paid you back, no time to run

Chorus

This is your retribution
Its time, you live with your disgrace
I've brought you to your knees
I watched you break
Ooh, Mmm

Retribution
This is your taste
Retribution
Can you live with it?

Retribution

Verse 1
Autumn leaves crunch beneath my feet
I feel the cool air coming in
The freshness feels the same — like when we first met again.

Hoodie on, the change in the air
Do you know why I loved it here?
This time, this place —
It’s how I remember your face.

Pre chorus
How the memories flood in
As the crisp air moves through me
I feel you within

Chorus
I'm surrounded by reminders
Take me back to that time and place
When you were mine
And I was on your mind

Verse 2
Every year when the leaves start to fall
The cold still calls to my heart
My senses remember it all

When the season comes
Do you love it here
Does the crunch of leaves beneath your feet
Remind you of my face

Pre chorus
How the memories flood in
As the crisp air nips away
I feel you within

Chorus
I'm surrounded by reminders
Take me back to that time and place
When you were mine
And I was on your mind

Bridge
Autumn always returns
The wind carries an echo of your memory
It still calls out to me
I try to leave the memory where it lives
Autumn, always creeping in
Does the season burn through your skin?

Pre chorus
Should I let the memories flood in
As the crisp air prickles my skin
Will I feel you within

Chorus
Are you surrounded by reminders
Does it take you back to that time and place
When you were mine
And I was on your mind
On your mind

Autumn

About Me

Bio

I'm a songwriter and lyricist with a passion for creating unique work that connects emotionally. My writing spans indie/ballads/dreampop/ occasionally other genres. With themes covering love and loss - to empowerment and self discovery.
I'm always looking for ways to collaborate with musicians, producers and artists. And I'm open to licensing, co-writing, or selling my work.

CV/History

I’m a new songwriter with a natural gift for capturing emotions and stories in lyrics. Songwriting has always been my way of expressing what words alone can’t. My style blends ballads, indie, pop-dreampop and other styles, with themes that explore love, loss, resilience, and the complexities of human connection.
I may be new to sharing my songs, but writing has always been second nature to me. I’m here to grow, collaborate, and share my work with artists and producers who are looking for heartfelt, original lyrics.
