Title: “Too Late to Hold”

[Verse 1]
I still see your coat by the door
Even though you don’t live here anymore
I still feel your breath in the cold
Still hear the words I never told

I was too proud to chase you down
Thought you'd turn back around
But silence fell like heavy rain
And you never looked back again

[Chorus]
If I called, would you pick up now?
Or would my name just fade somehow?
I was wrong, I let you go
When I should’ve begged you not to go
You were love, and I was stone
Now I talk to you when I'm alone
You were the truth I should’ve known
But now it's too late to hold

[Verse 2]
I wore the blame like a second skin
Pretending I was fine within
But every song still sounds like you
And every street is missing two

You moved on — you found the sun
I just count the days since you were gone
And tell myself what cowards do:
You deserved more than I gave you

[Chorus]
If I called, would you pick up now?
Or would my voice just weigh you down?
I was wrong, I let you go
When I should’ve begged you not to go
You were light, and I was cold
Now your warmth is what I miss the most
You were the truth I should’ve known
But now it’s too late to hold

[Bridge – stripped back, quiet]
I thought I had more time
But time was never mine
Now I live in empty space
Trying to unmake my own mistakes

[Final Chorus – soaring vocals]
If I called, would you remember me?
Or just a ghost you set free?
I was wrong, I let you go
Now I’m just someone you used to know
You were fire, I was smoke
You were real, and I just broke
You were the truth I should’ve known
But now it’s too late to hold

[Outro – fading soft]
Too late to hold…
Too late to hold you now…

  DEAR ANGEL from Aaron, to Angel [Verse 1] Hey sis, can you feel me in the quiet of your room? When the night gets heavy and you're drowning in the gloom I know I left a hole that no one else can fill But you should know I'm with you still You always saw the boy beneath the fame and fall When I was lost in echoes, you heard the call You held me close when the world turned cold Your love was the only thing I could hold [Chorus] Dear Angel, don’t cry for me tonight I’m the whisper in your heart when you’re losing the fight I know it hurts, but I’m finally free No more storms inside of me You were my anchor, my saving grace The only light in my darkest place Dear Angel, I never said goodbye But I love you more than words could ever try [Verse 2] Remember how we laughed in the backyard as kids? We built castles in the dirt, made dreams out of sticks I lost myself chasing shadows and stage lights But you were my compass in the night You prayed I’d make it, ...

  Title: “Villain in the Mirror” Verse 1 I throw glitter on a mess and call it art, Smile like I didn’t just fall apart. I light fires just to watch the glow, Then blame the wind when it starts to blow. I'm the friend who always runs too late, Blame the stars, blame the twist of fate. I ruin good things, call it “just bad luck,” Then cry when the pieces don’t add up. Pre-Chorus People say, “You shine, you're fine,” But they don’t see what hides behind— I play brave, I play sweet, But I trip over my own heartbeat. Chorus I’m the villain in the mirror, Wearing crowns made out of fear. I rewrite the story just to lose again, Make a mess and then pretend. I laugh too loud, I take it too far, Chase my flaws like they’re shooting stars. If there’s a monster here, it’s clearer— It’s the villain in the mirror. Verse 2 I text apologies I never send, Write happy endings I always bend. If love's a language, I mispronounce Every vow ‘til it doesn’t coun...

  Title: "Paper Wings" Verse 1 In the quiet of the morning, You trace the sky with your eyes, Dreams folded in your pocket, But too afraid to fly. Your voice, a whisper in the thunder, Your heart, a flame in the snow, You're stitched from soft and splintered things The world will never know. Chorus But don’t you know you’ve got paper wings, Drawn in ink that never fades? Even if the storm begins, You were born to break the cage. Every bruise became a feather, Every scar a silent song— You're stronger than you ever knew, You've been flying all along. Verse 2 You talk like the wind might leave you, Like love’s just a trick of the light, But I see the fire behind your fear, And the way you still choose to fight. You carry shadows in your suitcase, But there’s gold beneath the pain, You keep the sky inside your chest Like a promise in the rain. Chorus Don’t you know you’ve got paper wings, Drawn in ink that never fades? Even if the storm...
