i'm just a monster

[Verse] Whispers of twilight pulling me near Shadows dance softly dissolving my fear Your heartbeat calls like an ancient drum A rhythm so sweet I’m fully undone [Verse 2] Fingers tracing stories across my skin Cloudy skies part where love begins Your eyes are the place I lose my fight Breathing in your calm chasing the night [Chorus] Silken shadows curling ‘round my soul Every jagged piece you make it whole Under your touch the world fades away In your arms I’ll forever stay [Bridge] Your voice hums warm like honey rain Washing away my endless pain I’ll follow the trail only you can spark Guided by light buried in the dark [Verse 3] You sing to me without a single word A melody no one else has heard Your love it lingers like a flame on air Burning too bright no other can compare [Chorus] Silken shadows curling ‘round my soul Every jagged piece you make it whole Under your touch the world fades away In your arms I’ll forever stay

[Verse] Got a glass of red in my hand Dreams are flowing like the sand Sip and swirl we take the stage Life is grand at every age [Verse 2] From the vineyard to the table Every night"s a brand new fable Raise your glass toast to tonight In this world it all feels right [Chorus] Life is a cabernet my friend Every drop a start no end Pour the laughter let it stay In this limelight we shall play [Verse 3] Cheers to moments bold and sung Let the sweetest words be sprung Crimson rivers in our veins Joy and melody remains [Bridge] Dance through vineyards leaps and bounds Where our hearts in love resound Through communion we shall see Life unfolds so wild and free [Chorus] Life is a cabernet my friend Every drop a start no end Pour the laughter let it stay In this limelight we shall play

[Verse] Stars fell down on our darkest night Lost your smile lost your guiding light Walking through shadows silent and deep Holding the memories we used to keep [Verse 2] Each step echoes with your whispered name No more games we're not the same Through the tears mountains I will climb In the silence I hear the chime [Chorus] Lost you once but found myself In the broken pieces on the shelf Through the pain I rise again Lost but found in the end my friend [Verse 3] Heartbreak carved like stone in my chest Learning how to breathe how to rest With every sunrise I start anew Life’s a dance and the beats are few [Bridge] Winds of change blowing through my hair Carrying whispers of love we shared In the wreckage blooms a tiny flower I stand stronger hour by hour [Chorus] Lost you once but found myself In the broken pieces on the shelf Through the pain I rise again Lost but found in the end my friend

(Verse 1:) Jy weet ons liefde was bestem, ja Die tipe liefde wat vir altyd bly En ek wil jou hier by my hê, oh Van vanaand tot die einde van tyd Jy moet weet, orals waar ek draai Altyd in my kop, in my hart se brand In my siel diep binne, skat (Chorus: Group ) Jy's die sin in my bestaan Jy's die inspirasie Jy bring gevoel in my hart se land Jy's die inspirasie Wil jou naby my voel Ek wil hê jy moet my hoor skree "Niemand kort jou meer as ek vir jou nie!" (Verse 2:) En ek weet, ja, dis duidelik soos dag So verlief as ons saam kan wees Nou weet ek (Nou weet ek) Dat ek jou hier by my kort, ja Van vanaand tot die einde van tyd Jy moet weet (Ja, jy moet hoor) Oral waar ek kyk Jy's altyd in my kop, jy's in my hart se vuur In my siel diep neer (Chorus: Group ) Jy's die sin in my bestaan Jy's die inspirasie Jy bring gevoel in my hart se land Jy's die inspirasie Wil jou naby my voel Ek wil hê jy moet my hoor skree "Niemand kort jou meer as ek vir jou nie!" (Bridge:) Wil jou naby my voel Ek wil hê jy moet my hoor skree "Niemand kort jou meer as ek vir jou nie!" (Niemand kort jou meer) (Chorus: Group ) Jy's die sin in my bestaan (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Jy's die inspirasie (Oh) Jy bring gevoel in my hart se land (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Jy's die inspirasie (Outro:) As jy vir iemand lief is (Oh) tot die einde van dae As jy vir iemand lief is Altyd in my gedagtes bly Niemand kort jou meer as ek ooit sal kry As jy vir iemand lief is tot die einde van dae As jy vir iemand lief is Altyd in my gedagtes, ja

Well, it could have been worse

Verse 1 I tried to give you everything, But something always held me back, I thought I'd find a way to feel, But love’s not just a heart attack. Pre-Chorus I wish I could pretend it’s right, But somewhere deep, I lose the fight. Chorus I love you, but I don’t love you enough, Not like I should, not like you want, This isn’t what we thought it was, It's not meant to be, no matter how much. I love you, but not enough to stay, Not the way you need me to, anyway. We’re not the one, but I’ll miss you every day. Verse 2 I see the way you look at me, Hoping I’ll change and finally see, That love can grow, but I’m not sure, I gave it all, but I can’t give more. Pre-Chorus I wish that I could make it true, But all I have to give, it’s not for you. Chorus I love you, but I don’t love you enough, Not like I should, not like you want, This isn’t what we thought it was, It's not meant to be, no matter how much. I love you, but not enough to stay, Not the way you need me to, anyway. We’re not the one, but I’ll miss you every day. Bridge And maybe we’ll both find someone new, Who loves the way we need them to, But for now, I’m holding on to the truth, That I can’t love you the way you do. Chorus (Reprise) I love you, but I don’t love you enough, Not like I should, not like you want, This isn’t what we thought it was, It's not meant to be, no matter how much. I love you, but not enough to stay, Not the way you need me to, anyway. We’re not the one, but I’ll miss you every day.

[Verse] Walkin' down the street I found my way In the heart of joy I'll always stay With a smile so bright it lights the day In the rhythm of love we sway [Verse 2] Lift your hands and let your spirit fly Underneath the glow of the starry sky Every heart can reach and touch the high Where tears of doubt begin to dry [Chorus] Oh sing a song of hope with me Let’s find the tune of our harmony In the beat of faith we're truly free A melody of destiny [Verse 3] Rising up I feel the power grow In the bonds of love we'll always glow Through the highs and lows we'll surely know Together we make our dreams flow [Bridge] We stand as one heart and soul aligned In the chords of time our lives entwined Through the shadows we will always find A brighter light that’s love defined [Chorus] Oh sing a song of hope with me Let’s find the tune of our harmony In the beat of faith we're truly free A melody of destiny

[Instrumental]

As in the skies that fall upon us, The clouds drift softly, roaming on. I feel your presence, steady, near, Like whispers of the wind, so clear. The weight of time begins to fade, In every glance, a promise made. Beneath a dome of endless hues, I found a peace that softly grew. With every step, my world aligns, In quiet moments, your light shines. A love like blue—unspoken, pure, A truth that's never to obscure.
