Songwriter Diaries

I’m still underneath the covers
Putting out the flames that
Sting and burn my skin

I’m still hiding in the shadows
Fighting off the ghosts who’ve
Haunted their way in

But somehow in these trials 
and despite these tear-stained cheeks,
I feel like dancing now I feel you here with me
 
So I will dance, I will sing
And I will find a way through everything
I won’t give in, I won’t give up
I’ll still believe in all I’m dreaming of
With you somehow I can, so I will dance 

I still worry for tomorrow
All the things I don’t know
What the future brings
 
I still overthink the details
Trying hard to escape
All the fear within
 
But somehow in these moments 
and despite what leaves me weak,
I feel like dancing when you’re dancing next to me
 
So I will dance, I will sing
And I will find a way through everything
I won’t give in, I won’t give up
I’ll still believe in all I’m dreaming of
With you somehow I can, so I will dance 
 
With you somehow I can, so I will dance

What is Songwriter Diaries?

I've been writing songs since I was around 15 years old, well over half my lifetime ago. Figured it was time to be brave and share them somehow. Music has always been a saving grace in my life and my hope is that listening helps you in some small way, just as composing has helped me.
