about

This song is something I wrote and recorded earlier this year, with the intro lick being the first "idea" I had ever written on guitar. This little pop punk single is written about embracing that which makes you unique and doing what makes you happy, while moving on from and rising above someone who judges or holds you back. Realizing your worth and focusing on your happiness: life changing. Enjoy!

lyrics

Taking it down a notch, right from the top
Now, listen carefully
You're consumed by pride, it's in your eyes
They just don't shine the same
And these underrated overstated moments of appreciation
They never meant a thing
So here's one last chance, a last ditch romance
To show we're not in love

You used to bring out the best in me
But now you've become my worst enemy
Someday you'll find yourself coming back home
All alone again, you don't know what I'm on about
Figure it out somehow

Old school Panic!, Urie crazy
But not as cute or near amazing
Results of self reflection, baby
Trust I'm doing fine
And the half priced apps and late night smash sessions
Always make me whole
It's a side of me you'll always seek but never seize control

You used to bring out the best in me
But now you've become my worst enemy
Someday you'll find yourself coming back home
All alone again, you don't know what I'm on about
Figure it out somehow

So sick of taunting me
The bonds I'll finally break
One step in my direction
Burn this down

You used to bring out the best in me
But now you've become my worst enemy
Someday you'll find yourself coming back home
All alone again, you don't know what I'm on about
Figure it out somehow
