(álbum: No Burden - 2016)

You know it's unfair that I am here and you are there
I feel short in the exchange I show you mine you walk away
I'm wearing mine out on my sleeve, you're wearing yours where I can't see
But I'll remember your face for years to come
And wonder what you thought about when you got home

Honesty is like a kiss on the lips
Come closer and I'll tell you exactly how it is
Now I'm barely breathing, I'm moving ahead
But if I see you smile, it's gonna knock me dead

I'm stiff in my tracks trying to recover
From whatever drug you used to put me under

I don't believe in love at first sight
I don't believe in love at first sight
It's hard enough for me to not fall in love with every person I see

I let my mind get turned inside out
Just to see what the kids were laughing about
It wasn't worth understanding something
I could've gone my whole life not knowing

You know what they say about curiosity
That murderer had his chokehold on me
I ran away without turning back
But every now and then I want what I can't have

I'm still thinking of a man from years ago
Eyes open wide in the front row
Dark features, leaning on the doorframe
I would've sold my soul to know his first name

I don't believe in love at first sight
I don't believe in love at first sight
I don't believe in love at first sight
Maybe I would if you looked at me right
