I'm No Good 03:22
Seems all I do these days is worry Spending hours in my head On the bad days it gets blurry What’s real and what’s pretend And I’m no good at leaving things in the past No I’m no good at seeing when something won’t last I hold on so tight to whoever I love Until they’ve had enough Getting tired of overthinking Every little thing I do Sometimes I wind up drinking But it never helps the way I want it to And I’m no good at leaving things in the past No I’m no good at seeing when something won’t last I hold on so tight to whoever I love Until they’ve had enough I try to hold on to the moments When I know It’s all gonna be alright But the time that passes slowest Is when you think you're in the middle of an endless night You start to doubt there’ll be light I’m no good at leaving things in the past No I’m no good at seeing when something won’t last I hold on so tight to whoever I love Until they’ve had enough Until they’ve had enough

To say that I have been naive Would be putting it too nicely I’ve been called a fool a time or two Ever since I was a kid I’ve been keeping my voice hidden Thought I was keeping the peace, but I was keeping quiet And now I’m tired of walking that line Between saying what is on my mind Or saying that I’m fine And now I shout when I am angry And I cry when I’m blue And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you I’m saying no instead of maybe Not gonna sugarcoat what's true And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you Getting used to letting go Without being pulled by the undertow Now I stand with two feet on the ground No one likes when I make waves They say that’s not how a good girl behaves Thought I was keeping the peace, but I was keeping quiet And now I’m tired of walking that line Between saying what is on my mind Or saying that I’m fine Now I shout when I am angry And I cry when I’m blue And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you I’m saying no instead of maybe Not gonna sugarcoat what's true And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you Now I shout when I am angry And I cry when I’m blue And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you I’m saying no instead of maybe Not gonna sugarcoat what's true And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you Right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you

Here we are again In the middle of the end And I don’t even pretend To say it's gonna get better So here we are together again In the middle of the end And I can’t be just a friend When you keep sending me letters So here we are together again Photo on the wall From last July Fireworks glimmer dancing in your eye Salt and pepper shaker From that road side stand That trip to Carolina When you asked for my hand Here we are again In the middle of the end And I don’t even pretend To say it's gonna get better So here we are together again In the middle of the end And I can’t be just a friend When you keep sending me letters So here we are together again Here we are together again Forever’s just a word Easy enough to say I watch every sunset for the brand new day But when the mornings come Its coffee and TV Silently sitting Here we go again In the middle of the end And I won’t even pretend To say it's gonna get better So here we go together again To the middle of the end And I won’t be just a friend When you keep writing me letters So here we go together again Here we go again In the middle of the end And I won’t even pretend To say it's gonna get better So here we go together again To the middle of the end And I won’t be just a friend When you keep writing me letters So here we go together again Here we go together again Here we go together again Here we go together again

Hold On 03:26
When the world decides to fall Will you hold on, hold on To every passing thought That you brought up, brought up Will you forget the words you found To say you were caught up On a feeling Caught up on a feeling Oh do you wanna go, Runaway never come back oh I didn’t wanna see you cry But baby it’s goodbye And if it wasn’t for the end Could I build up the courage to see your face again This is impossible surrender And if everything remained Would this feel the same Oh do you wanna go, Runaway never back oh I didn’t wanna see you cry Oh do you wanna go, Runaway never back oh I didn’t wanna see you cry Watching you watching it All go to hell now Chaos is finding its way out of your mouth And every time you speak All the little things and all the misery Will find a better place Before we leave Caught up on a feeling Oh do you wanna go, Runaway never back oh I didn’t wanna see you cry But baby it’s goodbye But baby it’s goodbye But baby it’s goodbye

So Long 03:09
You say you’re gonna stop I'm not changing my mind So drink up every drop Of my mercy ‘cause I’m leaving it behind Thought that you would change Have I been a fool all along? Thought that I was right And I was waiting for you To prove them wrong Waited for so long So long You say you’re gonna quit You mean it this time I won’t say you’re full of shit Cause I know that you believe it in your mind Thought that you would change Have I been a fool all along? Thought that I was right And I was waiting for you To prove them wrong Waited for so long So long to the long nights worrying And all the long days wondering Maybe you will change Or maybe I’ve been a fool all along Maybe they were right Or maybe you’ll finally prove them all wrong But I’m done waiting for so long So long

Quick Fix 03:12
Maybe tomorrow I’ll get to going Do what I’m supposed to do I've been owing it to myself Maybe tomorrow I’ll get to moving Finally see it ain't about proving it to anyone else Gotta put that kinda thinking on the shelf But I know there's not a quick fix I know it's not easy No there’s not a quick fix Though I wish there could be Oh but a little step in one direction’s Gonna take me where I’m heading If I can get out of my own way I’m gonna get there, one day Tired of the movie Playing in my mind I know where it’s gonna go But I rewind it anyway Tired of the voice that just keeps me doubting I wanna live for a while without it getting in the way Oh I’m done with giving it a say But I know there’s not a quick fix I know it's not easy No there’s not a quick fix Though I wish there could be Oh but a little step in one direction’s Gonna take me where I’m heading If I can get out of my own way I’m gonna get there... I know there’s not a quick fix No it’s not easy No there’s not a quick fix Though I wish there could be Oh but a little step in one direction’s Gonna take me where I’m heading If I can get out of my own way There’s not a quick fix It’s not easy No there’s not a quick fix Though I wish there could be Oh but a little step in one direction’s Gonna take me where I’m heading If I can get out of my own way I’m gonna get there Oh I'm gonna there I’m gonna get there one day

28 03:22
There was a time I thought by 28 I’d be married or engaged Settled down and stable But I’m still waking up late On a Tuesday Cleaning empties off the coffee table Been in about a dozen weddings now And honestly I’m losing count Of the times that I have heard “Don’t worry, One day you’ll figure it out, You’ll get out of this drought” But love aint something I wanna hurry So if I’m behind I don’t mind I got everything that I could ever need I got my own definition of succeed I like moving through life at my own speed So if I’m behind I don’t mind My older sister called me up one day She said I’ll give it to you straight Veronica there’s things you need girl So put some money away And start a 401K Welcome honey, to the real world Well if I’m behind I don’t mind I got everything that I could ever need I got my own definition of succeed I like moving through life at my own speed So if I’m behind I don’t mind So if I’m behind I don’t mind I got everything that I could ever need I got my own definition of succeed I like moving through life at my own speed So if I’m behind I don’t mind Oh if I’m behind I don’t mind

New Dream 03:59
I thought I knew what I wanted when I was a girl Grow up and get married, have babies and give them the world Maybe I just thought that that was what I was supposed to want Or maybe I'm just saying that cause I aint go no one I know I’m still young With time to get old I’m just wondering if love’s ever gonna unfold But it doesn't hurt The way that it should Knowing my dreams might come to no good No it doesn't sting Like I thought it would Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood Hard as it may seem It’s time for a new dream A new dream I thought that finding someone would be simple enough Plenty of people have done it It can’t be too tough Maybe I don't really know what it is that I want Or maybe I'm just scared as hell So I put up a front I know I’m still young With time to get old I’m just starting to doubt that love is gonna unfold And It’s starting to hurt The way that it should Knowing my dreams might come to no good Oh and it stings Like I thought it would Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood I want someone who needs me I don’t want a new dream Oh and it hurts The way that it should Knowing my dreams might come to no good Oh and it stings Like I thought it would Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood I want someone to need me I don’t want a new dream New dream

Woke up from a dream That didn’t end Didn’t need to sleep For my mind to bend A hope into a fear Til it was all that I could hear All that I could hear The stone beneath my house I feel it shift The walls I built around Begin to drift Away and start to break I look around at what I should take What I should take It feels wrong to leave behind Anything that I’ve been given The point of the view I’ve been assigned But in the end When I let go I can hold on to the love And see that's all I need to know All I need to know Lying in the rubble Alone again Worried I’m in trouble But I won’t pretend To want my old place back A glass house is always gonna crack Always gonna crack So I pick up what I can without getting hurt Build a new foundation in the dirt Bits and pieces from the past This one looks like it will last Like it will last It feels wrong to leave behind Anything that I’ve been given The point of the view I’ve been assigned But in the end When I let go I can hold on to the love And see that's all I need to know All I need to know All I need to know It feels wrong to leave behind Anything that I’ve been given The point of the view I’ve been assigned But in the end When I let go I can hold on to the love And see that's all I need to know All I need to know All I need to know Woke up from a dream That didn’t end

Worry 03:31
Well you can worry your little heart away About what's coming the next day Oh but one day the next day won't come Will you look back and say “I did pretty well” Or will you kick yourself for going through hell When you still had the chance to go through life? Life is just a river We’re all trying to stay afloat Don’t turn your heart to stone Else it’ll sink your own boat And one day it’s gonna take you to the right place Yea one day it's gonna take you to the right place Well you can plan ahead for years down the road But one day when your story is told You won’t have any control over what they say So leap without looking every once in a while Let your heart get broken if it means you smiled And remember even good can come from pain Life is just a river We’re all trying to stay afloat Don’t turn your heart to stone Else it’ll sink your own boat And one day it’s gonna take you to the right place Yea one day it's gonna take you to the right place You’ll face rough waters But calm times too And as you’re going You gotta stop and enjoy the view If you’re always looking ahead or behind You’re bound to miss the point of life Life is just a river We’re all trying to stay afloat Don’t turn your heart to stone Else it’ll sink your own boat And one day it’s gonna take you to the right place Yea one day it's gonna take you to the right place

about

I recorded this album over several months in 2021 with Wilson Harwood at his studio in East Nashville. Some of the songs I wrote 5 years ago and others I wrote in the studio with him. One theme throughout the album is change- whether it be about the resistance to change, the fear of what others will think of you, and then the freedom that comes from facing those fears and embracing change with all the pain and joy that comes with it. My hope is that my music will reach people who feel alone in the world. I want my music to help someone through their struggles and give them hope that there are better times to come.


In loving memory of Cletus Stanton

Thank you to:
My incredible family for the constant love and support. To mom and dad for bringing us up in a home filled with good music. To the beautiful community here in Nashville for helping me grow. To all my friends and family who have believed in me and supported me. To Wilson Harwood for giving this record his all and for being an encouraging force of creativity. To Connor Vance for arranging and playing the strings on this record, to John Papageorgiou for playing drums, and to TARYN for lending her voice to the song we wrote together.
