I'm actually a lyricist who has been perfecting the craft for a number of years. Over the course the past several years, I've had the pleasure of working with some very talented individuals who have done a wonderful job of bringing my lyrics to life, vocally and instrumentally. Most everything featured on this site is in Demo format, as we work to locate the perfect singer for that perfect song. Let's let the music tell the rest of the story. . . .

Story behind the song
Based on a true story, I was given the topic and I put the remaining lyrics together.
Lyrics
Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout what I've done All the things I've had to overcome The battles fought; the wounds from this war I've won I'm still here A proverb said to me, guard my heart It'll give me life, somehow I keep forgettin that part Cuz I let you in Over and over again How can I be strong When with you, I keep doin' wrong We're not lovers anymore I gotta move on We started this thing out in the bed Never taking time, just bein' friends So stickin' 'round ain't the thing to do I can't stay here with you I love you so but darling... We don't have to settle no more We been through so much; we should let it go We don't have to settle no more Weve slipped into a same ole routine And not one things as good as it seems Seems Ive forgotten all the happiness we used to bring And Im still here? I know its time to move apart We both know its right, instead of tug-of-war of the heart You put me out; I let you in Sick and tired of the shape Im in How can I be strong When with you, I keep doin' wrong We're not lovers anymore I gotta move on So stickin' 'round Ain't the right thing to do I can't stay here With you I love you so but darling... We don't have to settle no more We been through so much; we should let it go We don't have to settle no more I gotta go Im tired of this merry-go-round I gotta go We gotta let go I gotta get outta town I need more I need so much more I love you so but darling... We don't have to settle no more We been through so much; we should let it go We don't have to settle no more We don't have to cry no more Keep the dishes Keep the keys Im takin just my heart
