Feel Sorry
Feel Sorry is a song about bitterness and unspoken hurt. It comes from a place of wanting an apology more than understanding, hoping that hearing the words “I’m sorry” might make the pain disappear.
The song reflects the desire to erase what happened instead of facing it. To believe that an apology could undo the damage, so you wouldn’t have to confront your own feelings or make a difficult choice.
To me, Feel Sorry is about the fragile comfort we sometimes cling to. The moments when forgiveness feels easier than honesty, even if it means leaving your own hurt unresolved.

Before
Before is a song about the moment you stop measuring your worth through someone else’s love. It captures the quiet shift that happens after heartbreak, when pain slowly turns into clarity. Not anger, not revenge, but the realization that you deserved more than what you were given.
The song balances bitterness and hope, holding space for both grief and self-respect. It speaks to that final stage of letting go, when you no longer beg to be chosen, but choose yourself instead.
To me, “Before” is about closing a door without slamming it. A goodbye that doesn’t need an answer. A reminder that sometimes moving on isn’t loud or dramatic, it’s simply knowing you’re worth staying for.

Even If It’s a Lie
Even If It’s a Lie explores the desperation that can appear when love starts slipping away. It’s about knowing something is breaking, yet still doing everything you can to keep it alive. Holding on, even when it costs you your dignity, just to feel chosen one more time.
The song lives in the space between anger and longing. It captures the contradiction of wanting honesty, but still hoping for comfort, even if it isn’t real. Because sometimes the truth hurts too much, and pretending feels easier than letting go.
To me, this song is about the quiet heartbreak of self-betrayal. About loving someone so deeply that you forget yourself, and realizing too late that staying can hurt more than leaving.

Lose You
Lose You is a song about emotional uncertainty. The kind that keeps you awake at night, questioning your feelings and your choices. It captures the confusion of loving someone deeply while feeling unsure if the relationship is right for you.
At its core, the song is about two fears existing at the same time. The fear of losing someone you care about, and the fear of losing yourself by staying. Both feel heavy, and neither comes with a clear answer.
This song is meant to be a place of comfort. A reminder that doubt doesn’t mean failure, and that not knowing what to do is sometimes the most honest feeling of all.
