Close Enough - a song written in the Style Of Sabrina Carpenter

I was the girl you’d call at midnight

When the world got heavy on your chest
Always there to catch you, holding tight
But I was never more than second-best

You told me your secrets, I kept mine

Pretending that everything was fine
But the closer we got, the further I fell
Into a love you’d never feel as well

Now I’m standing on the edge, thinking maybe
If I change, if I stay, could you save me?
But I know deep down, it’s a losing game
Still, I’m caught in the flame

Close enough to touch, but too far to hold
Loving you was warm, but it left me cold
You took my heart but gave no reply
Left me here with questions and a tear in my eye
Oh, I was close enough to dream
But never close enough to be
What you needed, what you wanted
Close enough, but never haunted
By me, by me

I painted my world in shades of you
But you never saw the colours I drew
I was there every time you’d fall
But when I needed you, you wouldn’t call

Now I’m standing on the edge, thinking maybe
If I let go, could you still save me?
But I know deep down, it’s a losing fight
And I can’t make it right

I’ll take a step back, I’ll let you be
If you couldn’t love me, then set me free
I’ll find my own way, through the night
But I’ll never forget what it felt like…

To be close enough to touch, but too far to hold
Loving you was warm, but it left me cold
You took my heart but gave no reply
Left me here with questions and a tear in my eye
Oh, I was close enough to dream
But never close enough to be
What you needed, what you wanted
Close enough, but never haunted
By me, by me

Polished Sins

A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Until Noon

I can feel the distance, But my body craves you. I am howling at the moon, Hoping you love me until noon. It’s winter, and everyone is covering up, But I will drop every single layer for you. Will you make the bedpost creak? Like the way we break our Duolingo streak? Or will you be my Count, And leave your marks on my neck? Will you drink away my life force, Or give me your immortal kiss? Who would care about saving it for daylight? We are creatures of this starry night. Will you save me with your sword, Be my Guinevere’s Sir Lancelot ? These boys keep talking about getting high at the pub. Would you do me the honour of the Mile High Club? Will you track my curves like an F1 circuit? Or be like kids fighting over the gully cricket? Come get me, while the night is still young, And we erase the distance with our tongues.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.
