01Simple Fools2026

English
I, I know that I misunderstand That your words don't land Like the simple fool I am You assume that I'm not on your side There’s something there to hide Oh what simple fools we are And we, we're drifting from the heart Pulling us apart Too far for me to find the way back home It feels like we won’t last My heart is in the past I can’t, can’t find my way So please, light a fire Be the torch that will lead me home Burn the past Burn a path that will bring me home Bring me home Or you and I will be Just simple fools alone I remember what we’d longed to say On our wedding day Oh what simple times they were I, I couldn’t picture life apart How we’d drift so far Oh, what simple days they were But now we're shooting from the heart Tearing us apart Too far to find my way So please, light a fire Be the torch that will lead me home Burn the past Burn a path that will bring me home Bring me home Or you and I will be Just simple fools alone Alone, alone, alone So please, light a fire Be the torch that will lead me home Burn the past Burn a path that will bring me home Bring me home Or you and I will be Just simple fools alone Just simple fools alone
02Don’t Take the World Away2025

English
We had something In my head, we were stronger every day All that loving All those careful whispers blown away You'll haunt all my nights And you’ll steal all my days Oh, of course it’s for you to choose But remember that it’s not just you I lose You take the world away I will try to change Into someone you believe in enough to stay Don’t take the world away Don’t take the world away You’ll take my world away Don’t take the world away Am I nothing Just a toy that it's time to put away Am I mistaken? Did I imagine the sadness in your face? You'll haunt all my nights And you’ll steal all my days Oh, of course it’s for you to choose But remember that it’s not just you I lose You take the world away I will try to change Into someone you believe in enough to stay Don’t take the world away Don’t take the world away You’ll take my world away Don’t take the world away I can't bear to lose you Can't imagine how to care without you I'll lose more than sleep without you I'll drift without you Make no sense without you Oh, of course it’s for you to choose But remember that it’s not just you I lose You take the world away I will try to change Into someone you believe in enough to stay Don’t take the world away Don’t take the world away You’ll take my world away Don’t take the world away
03Break My Heart Tomorrow2026

English
Too late for the tears to start Too tired to let you break my heart Need sleep to take me now Take me to the dark and hold me Nowhere for my mood to fall No way you can pull me further down I just need to pause us now Pause us till the morning I need one more night One more night And you can break my heart tomorrow Break my heart tomorrow Take me apart tomorrow Break my heart tomorrow Let’s hope we can work it out Let’s hope some sleep will calm me down No way I can do this now Do this till the morning breaks me It's so hard not to see the light So tough when I know you're always right I can't take more judgement now Leave it till the morning Give me one more night One more night And you can break my heart tomorrow Break my heart tomorrow Take me apart tomorrow Break my heart tomorrow When morning comes I’ll take what’s due to me Do your worst to me I bow my head as one by one The curtains fall for us The play is done for us For us, for us Too late for the tears to start Too tired to let you break my heart I need sleep to take me now Take me to the dark And give me one more night One more night And you can break my heart tomorrow Break my heart tomorrow Break my heart tomorrow
04A Place You’ll Never Go2023
English
Just behind you There's a place you'll never go Here beside you Is a love you'll never know Somewhere in your past there was a time for me Sometimes in your smile I see a hope for me So I'll hold on to the feeling The words that I have held back so far And as you turn to meet him I know that deep inside your heart of hearts Is a place I'll never go Here beside you Is the friend you thought you knew I have to hide the truth That the songs were all for you Sometimes when we part I see you glance at me I know that you see the hidden heart of me So I'll hold on to the feeling The words that I have held back so far And as you turn to meet him I know that deep inside your heart of hearts I take your smile and hold it close And as you turn to go I still hold on To the feeling The words that I have held back so far And as you turn to meet him I know that deep inside your heart of hearts Is a place I'll never go
05Always Here2021
English
Call me when you reach the other side Tell me when you’ve seen the light, seen a better way Maybe far from here there is a heaven just for you Call me when you’re there Call me if you ever change your mind Tell me if you change your idea of heaven Somewhere in your mind there is a place you’d rather be Call me when you’re there Call me when you care again Tell me when you’re healing I’ll be here, always here You told me of the darkness deep inside Held me like a light to burn away your shadows Turned to me when evening came but only came for you Showed me how to care You told me that our world would never end Held me like there’d never be another lover But somewhere in your mind there is a place you’d rather be Call me when you’re there Call me when you care again Tell me when you’re healing I’ll be here, always here Tell me when you need me I’ll be here, always here Holding the light for you Holding my heart Till the shadows give way Till you call me I’m always here Call me when you care again Tell me when you’re healing I’ll be here, always here Tell me when you need me I’ll be here, always here
06Walk Forever2024
English
I don't need your world to turn round me I'm not asking much at all I don't need the sun to shine from me That's not what I'm asking for I don't need to know you're missing me A hundred times a day Don't need cards I don't need letters Shouldn't have to ask at all, but oh If you care at all I need to know right now Cause if I carry on this lonely path I know that I'll just walk forever We've had long enough For me to ask for hope And if I carry on this lonely path I know that I'll just walk forever, forever I don't need to be the only one The ideal man for you You don't need to write me poems Just a kindly word will do I don't need undying promises I don't need undying love Don't need cards Or scented letters Shouldn't have to ask at all but oh If you care at all I need to know right now Cause if I carry on this lonely path I know that I'll just walk forever We've had long enough For me to ask for hope And if I carry on this lonely path I know that I'll just walk forever, forever I need more than careful whispers Let’s have no more hints and guesses Oh, the time has come to see behind your smile I’m too tired, I’m too old Can’t believe that I have to ask at all If you care at all I need to know right now Cause if I carry on this lonely path I know that I'll just walk forever We've had long enough For me to ask for hope And if I carry on this lonely path I know that I'll just walk forever, forever
07When the Lights Go Out2020
English
It’s not enough To have your love It’s not enough to know you care I’m not ok With staying strong It’s not ok just to know you’re there When every day Means one more night Every day When the lights go out I’ll be lonely for you Lonely for your love When the lights go out And when the morning comes I’ll be on my way We won’t be alone again When the lights go out When every hour Means losing time And every night is stretching thin It’s all the days You’re on my mind And being told I can’t give in Oh every day Means one more night Every day When the lights go out I’ll be lonely for you Lonely for your love When the lights go out And when the morning comes I’ll be on my way We won’t be alone again When the lights go out Maybe I’m just weak ‘Cos it’s been oh so tough Thought I was more contained Thought I was strong enough The hours are stretching out The walls are closing in And I know When the lights go out I’ll be lonely for you Lonely for your love When the lights go out And when the morning comes I’ll be on my way We won’t be alone again When the lights go out
08With You2022
English
If I could choose anywhere to be I’d stay right here with you With the love back in your eyes In your smile The sunlight in your hair Standing here with you again Like a dream Starting up our lives again After all we said and did, oh love Those days we won’t forget Please forgive the bitterness The stinging of your tears My season of regret Lying here with you again Like a dream Hoping I can always be With you I used to sit and think of you, think of us The way we used to be When after all our summer days Our stolen autumn nights The winter cold set in But living here with you again Like a dream Knowing I will always be With you Living here with you again Knowing I will always be With you
