about

This is the first track I've written, recorded, produced and mixed all myself (Alex O'Gorman mastered it for me).

I wrote it when I started a new relationship, and being vulnerable to someone else made me feel ugly. I'm learning to embrace that 'ugly' feeling, and in turn it's been a very empowering experience.

I really like this song, and I hope you do too.

lyrics

Now that you're with me
do you think my insides are ugly
I make excuses
just to stop the bleeding
just to feel pretty

Even when Im crying and I cant get to sleep
will you still want to hold me

You made a hot chocolate
me a cup of tea
sat on the couch
and watched free to air TV
I told my mum
and waited for her to ask me
do you think he's the guy
that you need him to be

-surprise feminist appearance-

We're all a little blind
to our own dark sides
will I be old and still learning to shake this

Now that you're with me
do you think my insides are ugly
I make excuses
just to stop the bleeding
just to feel pretty
just to feel

just to feel
