My eyes were sparkling back then - filled with joy I used to believe that love was so beautiful - turns out it was coy The first one was naive, reckless, and bold I should've listened to my mama - to be strong, be cold. Love changed me, broke me, tore me up But I was clinging to the idea that I shouldn't give up My man is somewhere in the middle of this crowd I can't wait to meet him, my heart just did the loudest pound Admittedly, I fell in love a couple times With people who filled me with temporary smiles Don't blame me - I was a fool I'd do anything - all I needed was a call After some time, I got tired The spark that I used to have - it is no longer required If you want to take my hand Climb up my tower - thorned, high, and manned My spark is still there, but I got wiser I learned to protect myself for I am my own treasure To get my touch you have to fall deeply Stuck in a pit where it's just you and me Some have tried, some have faded But they weren't what I wanted, never what I needed Love for me is simple - I will be honest, okay? Just don't do any shortcuts - be steady and walk one way This could go all day and I wouldn't be even done Talking about love and what it does to one But looking back into the past and thinking about the future I realized that cupid failed to become the best shooter

Thunderclouds
How's the weather? Sweaty eyes and humid nose How's the weather? In situations you didn't chose How's the weather? Locked eyes and lifted lips To sour goodbyes and tightened grips Every page is filled with ink That's made to vanish once you blink Place a bucket, catch the tears While holes are still fresh, wetting sheers Get a shovel and dig your eyes Got blinded by love to see his lies? You are foolish while still sober Tell me then, how's the weather? Step on the clock and keep climbing 'til you reach the epoch where it's not raining

How's the Weather?
Amidst the darkness I walked my whole life I reached the destination I’ve been searching for all night The silence I’ve held for as long as I can remember Vanished into thin air the moment he came —my savior I was full of maybes, whys, ohs But with him doubts vanished more so like ghosts I wasn’t meant for darkness and misery And so he showed me how great I can be From time to time I stumbled upon rocks He held me up just so I don’t break I’m slipping off, feeling pushed back Back in darkness where I could never wake Then he came again in that same spot Ready to hold my hand with all joy he got With no tears, there’s no joy he said Hang on cause we’re almost there he added The used to be tiptoeing me found its strength From an enormous God, whose powers are deep in depth I trust in him with all my breath And I shall fear no one not even death
