Brand New Woman

I spent years pretending I was hard to break
Smiling through the hurt that I could never say
Every joke I told was armour I could wear
But somehow you still found the real me in there

You accepted parts of me I tried so hard to hide
Never asking me to change or be someone else inside
With you I feel safe, I feel seen, I feel loved
For the first time in my life, I feel I am enough

Chorus
This is only the beginning
We've got a whole life left to live
A home to build, dreams to chase
So much more of us to give

We'll raise a family together
Watch the years gently unfold
An extraordinary love
In ordinary moments growing old

Verse 2

When your father called me family on our special day
A lifetime of loneliness just slipped away
For the first time I felt my whole heart was free
In that moment I felt loved so completely

Looking at the faces of all the people we know
Seeing them cheer for our love now on show
the world we'd hidden from for all these years
Now all standing there with us shedding happy tears

Chorus

This is only the beginning
We've got a whole life left to live
A home to build, dreams to chase
So much more of us to give

We'll raise a family together
Watch the years gently unfold
An extraordinary love
In ordinary moments growing old

Verse 3

Speaking my Vows threw shaking breath
The ending of a chapter, the beginning of the next
I kissed you, and the whole world disappeared
My one and only love for all these years

When we took our first dance beneath an evening sky
We showed the world the real you and I
Finally at home safe in each others arms
No more hiding our love or who we really are

Chorus

This is only the beginning
We've got a whole life left to live
A home to build, dreams to chase
So much more of us to give

We'll raise a family together
Watch the years gently unfold
An extraordinary love
In ordinary moments growing old

Your eyes, oh your eyes, they say so much
They do more to me than a single touch
And when you look so deeply into mine
It sends electricity running down my spine

Your fingers, oh your fingers, they know what to do
stroking my hair and down my neck too
Butterfly kisses all over your skin
These moments with you mean everything

My love, oh my love, how it kills me inside
In another world, we wouldn't have to hide
I'd be yours, and you'd be mine
My love we deserve sunshine

Your body, oh your body, makes me drunk with desire
Air between us filled with heat and fire
When I turn to face you, I can tell we both felt
We'd never have this with anyone else

Your eyes, oh your eyes with longing and need
You consume me with hunger and greed
It scares me that I might never get to keep this
That thought stays, and I deepen my kiss

My love, oh my love, how it kills me inside
In another world, we wouldn't have to hide
I'd be yours, and you'd be mine
My love we deserve sunshine

My love, oh my love, how it kills me inside
In another world, we wouldn't have to hide
I'd be yours, and you'd be mine
My love we deserve sunshine

Started off great, you told me you could make me smile.
Not like that other guy who made you cry.
Told me we were meant to be like the stars were aligned.

You were deceiving and I was believing.

First time away, driving in a place unknown, me not reading the map right, you with a sudden shift in tone.

I cried inside you brushed it off. My reaction was the problem, your cruel words were completely normal.

You were deceiving and I was believing.


I say, honey you’re driving too fast, please slow down.
You pull over and tell me if I don’t like it get out of the car.
An uneasy feeling sunk in but I let it pass.

You were deceiving and I was believing



In one unexpected moment i saw it. All that time you’d been sneaking around.
And what hurt more was no sorry, no remorse.
You just repeat I’m a good man, Ive given you the world, you’d have nothing without me.
I picked you up out of the gutter. Imagine where you’d be if you hadn’t met me.

I believed and you deceived.

Why her? Why my friend? You could’ve of told me you were unhappy.
I said, "Let’s talk, I want to understand"
But you called me difficult for holding out my hand.

You crushed my worth just to hold your head high, you had to justify.
Convinced your family I was the liar
Like I didn’t change my religion, or name my kids for them.
Just replaced by her, like I’m a ghost to them, Like I never even existed



30 years I believed, 30 years you deceived
And now its 2 years later you act surprised when the only words i can find is hello. Just another thing you can twist and say see she’s not nice.


No one knows. But I can live with that. Because I’m finally free.


You still deceive... and I no longer believe

People don’t know him.

He doesn’t even know himself.

Who he sees in the mirror is someone else.

He thinks he’s a good man.

Everyone’s favourite friend.

That might be how it feels for a while but not in the end.

Chorus

Run darling run, his hearts not real.

Run darling run your just part of the deal.


He fakes closeness with touch.

But can never go deep

You’ll cry in your bed while he gets 12 hours of sleep



He’s a shallow a man who'll steal everything you have.

He won’t care, he’ll just leave and blame you that he’s gone.

I wonder if his inner voice ever questions his mind?

Does it ever pull him up on his cruelty and lies

Or maybe it’s just as blind

Chorus

Run darling run, his hearts not real

Run darling run your just part of the deal


I wish I had never seen that people like him exist

Because I know the hurt others are going to endure

And sadly there will never be a cure


Chorus
Run darling run, his hearts not real

Run darling run your just part of the deal


If you ever get that feeling that someone is not who they say

Please listen carefully and just run the other way


They’ll never change, they’ll swallow up your kindness till one day they just spit it out. Twisting every ounce of loyalty and love you gave

Ironically it’s the only thing they’ll ever crave

Chorus


Run darling run, his hearts not real

Run darling run your just part of the deal
