Verse 1
I walked into the shop like autumn gray,
No lipstick, no hope to light my way.
Life’s a bag of clutter, dreams thrown aside,
But then I saw you, with that knowing smile.
Amber and tobacco hung in the air,
A playful glance, a confident stare.
“You came here for style, right from the start?
For skill and magic, and a work of heart?”

Chorus
You’re not a master, not a tailor,
Not in the spotlight, yet you play.
You’re not the loudest, yet you’re major
In someone’s brand-new style today.
You’re my fashion, my stylist,
My lucky charm that never fades!
Every stroke shows you’re an artist,
You’re my style! My secret’s made!

Verse 2
This world is more than just the clothes we wear,
It’s passion, spark, and flair everywhere.
Each fabric tells a story, bright and true,
Each cut reveals the fire inside you.
Clothes aren’t just covers, they speak your soul,
They guide the brave toward a shining goal.
Step into freedom, chase your dream,
The world’s your runway, the light will gleam.

Chorus
You’re not a master, not a tailor,
Not in the spotlight, yet you play.
You’re not the loudest, yet you’re major
In someone’s brand-new style today.
You’re my fashion, my stylist,
My lucky charm that never fades!
Every stroke shows you’re an artist,
You’re my style! My secret’s made!

Verse 3
Clothes are more than just a dress or coat,
They show the sharpness in the way you float.
Each gesture, every move you make,
Shows the soul that only you awake.
Master of lines, of color and form,
Through every outfit, you transform.
A guide to the heart in every fit,
Where courage rises, strong and lit.

Chorus
You’re not a master, not a tailor,
Not in the spotlight, yet you play.
You’re not the loudest, yet you’re major
In someone’s brand-new style today.
You’re my fashion, my stylist,
My lucky charm that never fades!
Every stroke shows you’re an artist,
You’re my style! My secret’s made!

Just stay
Verse 1
Wait… don’t rush, the silence turned to frost,
It burns my lungs more gently than a flame.
This room still holds the time we lost,
As if I’m living there, still just the same.
The shadows on the walls - broken reflections
Of words we thought would never fade away.
I piece myself through shards of night’s deceptions,
But every shard is love, it stays.

Chorus
Stay - become the ground beneath my way,
We’ll take this shore, we’ll steal it, come what may.
Without your eyes I drift in empty space,
A silent sound no world could ever embrace.
I suffocate where your footsteps fade,
I’ll tear us from these shores that bring no peace.
Just stay - become the fate I’m dreaming of,
While I still live, I’ll stay with you, my love.

Verse 2
You’re like a dawn that never dares appear,
I’m like a window blinded from the light.
We lost ourselves between goodbye and fear,
Between a whispered “yes” and silent “might.”
I would remain in you as endless time,
Erase all borders, set the world aflame,
But you escape into your space sublime,
Where not a trace of me remains the same.

Chorus
Stay - become the ground beneath my way,
We’ll take this shore, we’ll steal it, come what may.
Without your eyes I drift in empty space,
A silent sound no world could ever embrace.
I suffocate where your footsteps fade,
I’ll tear us from these shores that bring no peace.
Just stay - become the fate I’m dreaming of,
While I still live, I’ll stay with you, my love.

Verse 3
Even if I become a stranger lost,
Dissolve within the emptiness you keep,
I’ll be an echo, fragile, tempest-tossed,
A trace upon the first fallen leaf.
I won’t just fade - I’ll be your steady ground,
When everything is breaking, falling through.
Let heavens crash - I’ll still be standing strong,
If only you would know I’m here with you.

Chorus
Stay! Can you hear me? Look at me and see -
It’s all burned down by flames inside of me.
I cannot breathe - you are the air I need!
Just hear my cry through emptiness that bleeds…
Don’t go away, don’t burn our bridges down,
Let this wild storm just fade beyond the ground.
Stay! Against all laws that pull apart -
I’ll come alive the moment I touch your heart.

Just stay

1 Verse
I’m leaving now - I won't even slam the door,
The fire in my eyes has lost its glow.
I don’t cry, I don’t believe anymore,
Silence says more than words could ever show.

Chorus
I’m letting go of you in peace,
No blame, no guilt, no pain to keep.
I hold no grudge, I’ve found release,
While memories fall into the sea.
I’m letting go of you in peace,
I was born for joy, not war.
I wish you joy that will not cease,
The lock is turned - I've closed the door.

2 Verse
Don't try to hold me back with words you say,
They come too late, though you believe they’re right.
There is no hope between us left today,
Just echoes and the shadows of the night.

Chorus
I’m letting go of you in peace,
No blame, no guilt, no pain to keep.
I hold no grudge, I’ve found release,
While memories fall into the sea.

3 Verse
It’s getting light - without your constant doubt,
Without your ghost still haunting through the hall.
You were a lesson I had to learn,
But I won't cry - my dreams begin to call.

Chorus
I’m letting go of you in peace,
No blame, no guilt, no pain to keep.
I hold no grudge, I’ve found release,
While memories fall into the sea.

4 Verse
No turning back, just stardust on the ground,
Settling on the tracks we left behind.
A final breath, a fading, ghostly sound,
While peace is finally what I find.
Let this brief moment be a brand new start,
Where yesterday’s old heartaches fade to grey.
A final wave - I’m following my heart,
It’s time to fly and find the light of day.

Chorus
I’m letting go of you in peace,
No blame, no guilt, no pain to keep.
I hold no grudge, I’ve found release,
May every promise that you make, you keep.

I’M LETTING GO OF YOU IN PEACE

IF YOU DISAPPEAR
Verse 1
The city’s dead, like a crumpled photo in hand,
Every sound cracks like clocks that no longer stand.
I searched for you in faces, in windows, in light,
But found only cold in voices not mine.
You were my spark in a concrete winter’s chill,
My air in a room with no ceiling above,
And now even the walls cry out for you still,
While the living words in my throat fall mute, unloved.

Chorus
If you disappear - the world will fall apart,
If you disappear -I’ll lose my heart.
If you disappear - my soul drifts alone,
It beats, but as if it’s no longer my own.

Verse 2
I clung to us like a fragile thread,
That saves a madman above the empty abyss,
But you look through sleep - wanting to forget,
As if I’ve become for you a quiet, cold mist.
My thoughts are like birds with broken wings,
They fall to the ground, never reaching the skies,
I’d burn this world if I were fire,
But the fire… it’s you… only you… only you.

Chorus
If you disappear - the world will fall apart,
If you disappear - I’ll lose my heart.
If you disappear - my soul drifts alone,
It beats, but as if it’s no longer my own.

Do you hear me? I’m screaming to you
Through years and through the night’s deep hue.
The world stands frozen inside my chest,
While time may erase our names,
I know: our silence will ignite with light.

IF YOU DISAPPEAR

Love isn’t perfect…
1 Verse
Love isn’t perfect, never planned,
It’s living, aching, out of hand.
It twists and turns through shade and light,
No stars, no filters in its sight.
It isn’t roles or polished art,
But silent depths within the heart.
It stays when everything has fallen,
When all my heart inside is calling.

Chorus
You and I - an endless chord,
Sometimes minor, sometimes soared.
We lose ourselves along the way,
Yet in our hearts we choose to stay.
I don’t believe in peaceful lies,
But catch your glances like sunrise.
We break and shout - yet this is true:
What’s real survives the cracks we go through.





2 Verse
We are no heroes from the screen,
No rescues staged in silver scenes.
Sometimes just shadows turned away,
Sometimes the breath of quiet May.
But when I’m silent - that’s reply,
And when I stay - it’s not goodbye.
I’ve never learned a cold “no more”
When hearts still long to fight the war.

Chorus
You and I - an endless chord,
Sometimes minor, sometimes soared.
We lose ourselves along the way,
Yet in our hearts we choose to stay.
I don’t believe in peaceful lies,
But catch your glances like sunrise.
We break and shout - yet this is true:
What’s real survives the cracks we go through.

3 Verse
I don’t know love by written rules,
Timed perfect lines and final cues.
They say the way I live is wrong,
I choose my heart where I belong.
Perhaps my strength is simply this -
Wild feelings no one can dismiss.
The stars may guide another way,
But next to you I need no pay.

Chorus
You and I - an endless chord,
Sometimes minor, sometimes soared.
We lose ourselves along the way,
Yet in our hearts we choose to stay.
I don’t believe in peaceful lies,
But catch your glances like sunrise.
We break and shout - yet this is true:
What’s real survives the cracks we go through.

Love isn’t perfect…

About Me

Bio

My name is Aya, and I am a writer and a psychologist. My journey into songwriting began naturally—through working with people, their stories, emotions, pain, and inner struggles. As I listened to them and shared in their experiences, I increasingly found that feelings and meanings were turning into lines of text.

Gradually, my song lyrics were born as a way to express what is often difficult to say directly. They carry sincerity, depth, and a reflection of real emotions.
