This is an acoustic song recorded with just piano and voice. It's a soft ballad about speaking your truth and not being afraid to say what you think. It's an anti-people pleasing song.
lyrics
You know I told you what I needed to
Thought it was me but then I realised it was you
I've been broken down, smashed and destroyed
But now I'm waking up, I'm filling up this void
With my love, with my light, with my soul
I'm picking up the pieces of my broken heart
I'm sewing them together, ready for a new start
With my love, with my light, with my soul
With my love, with my light, with my soul
So I release, let, exhale
If I believe in myself, I know I can't fail
I know I can'f fail, I know I can't fail
You could bring be sunshine, flowers, and lullabies
You could bring me honey, chocolates and butterflies
But you reach in side yourself and you pull out the rain
Don't you know within you darlin' you have light and grey
What you choose to share with me, it becomes your refrain
What you choose to share with me, it becomes your refrain
You know I told you what I needed to
Though it was me but then I realised it was you
I need to trust myself, so much more
Need to stay in the now, not look what's gone before
Not look what's gone before
Not look what's gone before
You know I told you what I needed to
Thought it was me but then I realised it was you
It was you, ou, it was you, ou,
It was you... ou .. ou... ooooooooou.
