I am from the UK and write Novels and Poetry, and recently found some songs that I had written years ago and re-wrote them to turn into complete songs.
Yeah… you wanted perfect.
You wanted more.
Well guess what — I’m done.
I could bleed for you, still you’d say I didn’t try,
Break my back for you, you’d just roll your eyes.
Every win I get, somehow you make it a loss,
You don’t want a partner — you want someone to boss.
I changed everything just to fit your mould,
Bent till I cracked, now I’m done being controlled.
You compare me to dudes that you don’t even know,
If you want them so bad, then pack your bags — go.
I’m never enough for you,
No matter what the hell I do.
You want bigger, you want better, you want someone brand new —
So go ahead, chase that dream, I’m through.
‘Cause I’m never enough for you,
And I’m tired of the hoops you make me jump through.
When you walk out that door, don’t expect me to beg —
I’ll live my life without you.
You act like you’re a gift I should worship and praise,
Like I’m lucky just to get to stand next to your name.
But you drain every joy, then you call it love,
Nah — that’s control wrapped in a pair of white gloves.
You want a man made of money and fame,
A trophy to shine, not a person with pain.
I ain’t your puppet, I ain’t your doll —
You want perfect?
Find it somewhere else — I’m done with it all.
‘Cause I’m never enough for you,
You treat my heart like it’s something to chew.
You want bigger, you want better, you want someone brand new —
So go ahead, chase that dream, I’m through.
Yeah I’m never enough for you,
But that don’t mean I ain’t enough — that’s you.
When you walk out that door, don’t expect me to beg —
I’ll finally breathe without you.
You think you’re gold?
I ain’t buying it.
You think you’re cold?
I’m surviving it.
You think I need you?
Stop lying to yourself —
You’re the one who can’t live
Without someone else.
I’m done breaking just to build you up,
Done starving so you get filled up.
Done losing so you feel like you won —
You ain’t the moon — I ain’t the sun.
I ain’t orbiting you, I’m done with the pull,
Find another man to bully and rule.
I hope you get what you’re chasing too —
Then you’ll see:
Nobody’s ever enough for you.
Yeah… go find better.
You’ll never find happy.
A woman convinced against their will
is of the same opinion still
and she won’t budge, and she won’t budge
cos she don’t care, and she won’t share
and I don’t know because she won’t show
the things inside that seem to collide
the things inside - the things inside that always collide
upload to memory before it’s too late
winding me up is something she enjoys
never let her push me to take the bate
no matter what excuse she employs
I will desire but never yearn
all those things we never learn
about each other when times go by
before they fade before they die
A woman convinced against their will
is of the same opinion still
and she won’t budge, and she won’t budge
cos she don’t care, and she won’t share
and I don’t know because she won’t show
the things inside that seem to collide
the things inside - the things inside that always collide
hate is akin to love - all we need is a little shove
which way will we go do you really want to know
I despair that you nonchalantly don’t care
But there is a secret garden maybe one day I will meet you there
I promise I will always be wanting while you are breathing
the thought of us together is so appealing
the price is bigger than the prize could ever be
but the cause is just, and love is a must
I will want but never yearn
all those things we never learn
about each other when time goes by
before they fade before they die

I'm not stalking, you don't know I'm there
You never see me, you’re not aware
Two flights of stair a laundry room we share
You never see me, you’re not aware
Heard you crying but no one was there
I wanted to climb so we could share
The sadness and noise too much to bear
As I listened at the bottom of the stair
Love’s passion lasts longer together
Longevity carries the pain
Knock me down with a feather
And take onboard the shame
Shouldn’t be alone this time of year
It's a time for giving, for love and cheer.
Maybe I will risk climbing the stair
You never know you just might care.
Two of a kind a straight pair
Means nothing if I don't dare
Confess all and bring my soul to bare
When I get round to it will you be there?
Running out of time it's the end of a year
For auld lang syne not singing here
Maybe it's timing or plain fear
Stops me calling from the bottom of the stair
Love’s passion lasts longer together
Longevity carries the pain
knock me down with a feather
And take onboard the shame
Once the stranger that slept on the chair
Ten years later I'm back sleeping there
If only you would help me fight this despair
I think I could defeat this old chair
I'm sorry for this moment I do declare
Sorry for the chair and I'm sorry for the stair
But it's too late now because you’re not there
Gone with another and it's more than I can bare
As I leave this world without a son and heir
It was all my fault don't blame the chair
Let things get in the way especially the stair
I have to go know I've got to be there.
Love’s passion lasts longer together
Longevity carries the pain
knock me down with a feather
And take onboard the shame
Another place awaits me a new stair
Which way will it be going who will be there?
One thing’s for certain they'll be sat in a chair
Two of a kind but a different pair.
Will I be judged for my courage or my cold fear?
For loneliness with you or too much beer
I'm sorry I didn't get around to fixing your chair
Who knows you may have ventured down the stair?
It would have helped you being there
A chat or two would of help me prepare
The fate that awaits me at the bottom of my stair
My advice as I go is avoid the chair and drink tea.
Love’s passion lasts longer together
Longevity carries the pain
knock me down with a feather
And take onboard the shame
