lyrics
buy track
Tell me, why'd you leave me high and dry again? Am I meant to pretend That I haven't already said what's on my mind? Do I really have to say it all again? And what happens then? How did it not click? What stopped it from sinking in? Why didn't it stick? And how long until I reach the end? Because my patience is wearing thin I'm tired of rehashing words already said Tired of time spent in my bed So listen closely, 'cause I've come alive My true self has arrived No longer accepting the steady decline Of people-pleasing til age 25 See, I've figured out just where the issue lies And are you really surprised To learn that this is not unique to me? That there's generations of us who fawned just to survive? Or that I've grown a spine? I watched you put others before you and me And I'm sorry to say It had to end sometime So listen closely, 'cause I've come alive My true self has arrived No longer accepting the steady decline Of people-pleasing til age 25 So listen closely, 'cause I won't deprive Myself of respect this time No longer accepting the steady decline Of people-pleasing til age 25

about

This is the lead single and title track of my upcoming EP of the same name.

Expect more collaborations, and more depressing and/or aspirational lyrical themes (not mutually exclusive).

I wouldn't have written any of these songs if it weren't for Tessa Violet's "WAAIAM" (write an album in a month) songwriting challenge, so big thank you to her.

And, of course, another big thank you to everyone who lent me their talents and helped me bring this release to life.

Bri Earned the Power of Self-Respect (the EP) will be out on May 24th, 2024.
