about

What happens when you would do anything to get someone back? You feel as if you’d never be happy again without them. Sounds romantic doesn’t it?

‘Say What It Is’ soundtracks a desperate plea for forgiveness to a former lover. My ethereal vocals are filled with melancholy as I pine for reconciliation, before the track’s stripped-back production builds to a dreamy crescendo that sees my cry for love become a cry for help.

Wanting a relationship to work is important. Not giving up is key. But, when you’re desperate that’s when things start to get blurry. I so dangerously wanted him back that I started to lose connection to myself, liquefy, until finally I realised that it was all in my head. I had to forgive and love myself first before the relationship had a chance to keep body and soul together.

lyrics

Say what it is you want from me
Why are you always
Trusting fear

Say what it is you want from me
You’re stuck in mud I
Dragged you in

Wish I could
Come
Back home
To you

I
Want your love in my life
I cannot move
I am falling to my knees
I cannot cope
That our love is so blurry
I
want your love in my life
I cannot move
I’m afraid of the heat
Your rage is burning
Mystifying me

Say what it is you want from me
What sort of wall am
I against

Say that I’m deeply sorry dear
You’re holding on but
Can’t forgive

Wish I could
Come
Back home
To you

I
Want your love in my life
I cannot move
I am falling to my knees
I cannot cope
That our love is so blurry
I
want your love in my life
I cannot move
I’m afraid of the heat
Your rage is burning
Mystifying me

Waiting for that battle cry
Let it out
And save us now
Save us now
Say what it is you want
Say what it is you want
From me

Oh I
Want your love in my life
I cannot move
I am falling to my knees
I cannot cope
That our love is so blurry
(Oh Oh Oh Oh)
I
want your love in my life
I cannot move
I’m afraid of the heat
Your rage is burning
Mystifying me

Oh, Eh
Eh
Oh Eh Eh Eh Eh

Oh I
Want your love in my life
Ah Eh
Mystifying me
