about

In celebration of releasing my debut single and music video "7 Years" exactly one year ago, here's an acoustic live version recorded in the countryside of Pennsylvania.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember watching it kill him
No return after going all in
And I vowed to never make the same mistake

I'd evaluate my position
Around the age of 27
Now it's time for me to fold, to bend and break

See I have spent way too long living
Under other people's opinion
Asleep to my own magic, but now awake

So I'll go back to the beginning
Where I left my younger self waiting
For permission that was always mine to take

[Chorus]
Going back won't be easy
To face the girl I used to bе
Going back won't be easy
But I gotta find her to find mе

[Verse 2]
Yeah the industry it's a killer
It'll make you cynical and bitter
When you chase fame and fortune
You have nothing in the end

And society’s getting sicker
Our entirety reduced to filter
If I just get one more like, one more mention
Maybe it could make me like myself again
Oh I just want to like myself again

[Chorus]
Going back won't be easy
To face the girl I used to be
Going back won't be easy
But I gotta find her to find me

[Bridge]
7 years already
Holding it all in
Cause I believed what somebody
Told me then
Don't speak, just look pretty
Take advice from men
Make it when you're twenty
Don't be a has-been

[Chorus]
Going back won't be easy
To face the girl I used to be
Going back won't be easy
But I gotta find her to find me

[Outro]
7 years already
Holding it all in
Cause I believed what somebody
Told me then
7 years already
Holding it all in
But you better get ready
Cause now I'm back again
