How could you just...

Disappear like that...

Standing on that platform in the rain

You kissed me soft and whispered my name

Said you'd never leave, said you'd stay

Now you're gone without a word to say

We were dancing through the city lights

Family dinners, movie nights

Polaroids scattered on my floor

Boy, what were all those promises for ?

Phone calls till the morning came

Planning futures, sharing dreams and pain

Your hands on me, my tears on you

Thought our love was something true

That chemistry, that perfect fit

Now I'm wondering if you faked all of it

You knew my soul, I gave you mine

How u gonna leave me behind ?

Woke up one day and you were gone (you were gone)

No explanation, just moved on (just moved on)

Left me with a ticket and a broken heart (broken heart)

Tore my whole world apart (world apart)

Where did you go, baby ? (where'd you go ?)

Why didn't you tell me ? (didn't you tell me ?)

We had something real, now I'm left here wondering (wondering)

How you disappear on me ? (disappear)

Act like we were nothing ? (like nothing)

After all the love we shared

You just vanished in the air

Boy, Yeah, Why ?

I keep replaying every moment

Looking for the signs I missed

Every I love you, every kiss

Was any of it even real, or just a fantasy ?

Maybe I was blind to what you couldn't be

Gave you all of me, my trust, my truth

Now I'm stranded here without you

So I took that ticket, flew away

To an island where your ghost can't stay

Salt water healing what you broke

Learning how to breathe, learning how to cope

Met someone who showed me light

Proved that love don't have to hide

You taught me pain, he's teaching me

What it means to finally be free

Yeah, I'm standing strong now on my own (on my own)

Building a new life, a new home (a new home)

You're just a memory fading fast (fading fast)

Baby, I'm done living in the past (in the past)

Where did you go, baby ? (don't even care)

Why didn't you tell me ? (I'm done asking)

We had something real, but now I'm done wondering (I'm done)

How you disappear on me ? (you disappeared)

Act like we were nothing ? (we were something)

But I survived the storm you left, found myself and nothing less

I'm good, Yeah, Watch me

You know what hurts the most ?

Not the leaving... but the silence (the silence)

Not the goodbye... cause there wasn't one (there wasn't one)

You just became a ghost (a ghost)

But ghosts don't scare me anymore (not anymore)

I'm not the girl you left before (not that girl)

I'm stronger now, I've found my voice (found my voice)

Leaving you was not my choice

But healing me ? That's all mine (all mine)

Now I know where I'm going (I'm moving on)

And I'm done with your story (your story's done)

Had something real but you threw it all away (threw it away)

You can disappear, baby (disappear)

I don't need you near me (don't need you)

Cause I found my strength, found my peace, found a love that won't leave

I'm free, So free, Yeah

That platform kiss still haunts me sometimes (sometimes)

But it taught me lessons, helped me climb (helped me rise)

You were my ghost (my ghost)

But I'm alive (so alive)

You disappeared (you're gone)

But I survived (I survived)

I survived...

Yeah...

I'M ISLAND BOUND

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

Met you a day of spring right, something felt so right

Chemistry I'd never known, you became my home

Train station in the rain, kissed away my pain

Time just froze in place, lost inside your embrace

We were shopping hand in hand, making future plans

Family dinners, cinema, capturing it all on camera

Late night calls till three, you were everything to me

Thought we'd found forever, we were bound together

Bodies intertwined, souls completely aligned

Every tear we cried, had nothing left to hide

That connection so deep, promises we'd keep

You said you'd never go, but I guess I didn't know

Woke up and you were gone, no goodbye, just moved on

Left me with a ticket here, drowning in my fear

Heart shattered on the ground, no explanation found

Now I'm asking why, how you said goodbye

So I took that flight across the sea

To an island where you couldn't reach me

Had to heal the pain you left behind

Had to go and find some peace of mind

I'm island bound from the heartbreak in my life

I'm island bound, trying to survive the night

From the memories that haunt me, from the ghost of what we were

I'm walking toward the sunrise, leaving all the hurt

I'm island bound...

I'm island bound...

Sandy shores and ocean breeze, trying to find some ease

Your face in every wave, your voice in winds that play

Searching for a sign, trying to redesign

The woman that I am, without you holding my hand

Then somebody came along, helped me to be strong

Showed me there's a light, even in the darkest night

No pressure, no demands, just understanding hands

Teaching me to breathe, helping me believe

Day by day I'm healing slow, learning to let go

Of the dream we used to share, of a love that wasn't there

Or maybe it was real, but you couldn't deal

With the depth of what we had, now I'm trying not to be sad

Looking at the stars above, finding a different kind of love

Love for myself, for my life, cutting through the strife

The universe aligned, to help me to find

That I'm stronger than I knew, I can make it without you

Yeah, I took that flight across the sea (I had to go)

To an island where I could be free (finally free)

Had to heal the pain you left behind (all the pain)

Had to go and claim what's truly mine (it's all mine)

I'm island bound from the heartbreak in my life

I'm island bound, trying to survive the night

From the memories that haunt me, from the ghost of what we were

I'm walking toward the sunrise, leaving all the hurt

I'm island bound... (I'm moving on)

I'm island bound... (getting strong)

Sometimes I still see that platform kiss (that kiss)

Sometimes I wonder what I miss (what I miss)

But then I feel the ocean on my skin

And I remember how to live again (live again)

You were a chapter, not the book (not the book)

A lesson that I had to took (had to learn)

Now I'm writing pages on my own (on my own)

This island heart has found a home (found a home)

I'm island bound from the heartbreak in my life (from the pain)

I'm island bound, and I'm gonna be alright (be alright)

From the memories that haunt me, from the ghost of what we were (what we were)

I'm dancing in the sunrise, I survived and that's for sure (that's for sure)

I'm island bound... (yeah, I'm free now)

I'm island bound... (finally me now)

I'm island bound... (can't you see now)

I'm island bound... (I believe now)

Island bound... island bound...

From the troubles in my life...

I'm walking away... walking away...

To the island... to myself...

Yeah... mmm...

OCEAN CALLING TO THE MOON

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

Two souls

Same strange heartbeat

Staring into each other

Like truth in a clean mirror

You said my name

I felt it in last year

Like time folding over

Bringing every version here

Like the ocean calling to the moon

I'm pulled to you I'm pulled to you

Every high tide Every blue

I rise to you I rise to you

We can wander

We can move

But I'm yours and you are proof

Distance never changed a thing

Like the ocean calling to the moon

We broke apart

To learn our own language

You stitched your shadows

I walked through my damage

Miles of quiet

Years of static rooms

Still your sorrow touched me

Like a signal in the gloom

Like the ocean calling to the moon

I'm pulled to you I'm pulled to you

Every high tide Every blue

I rise to you I rise to you

We can wander

We can move

But I'm yours and you are proof

Distance never changed a thing

Like the ocean calling to the moon

Not one choice

One destiny

You breathe in And it reaches me 

Invisible thread running through our wounds

We heal apart To fuse in bloom

Like the ocean calling to the moon

I'm pulled to you I'm pulled to you

Every high tide Every blue

I rise to you I rise to you

We return

We're something new

Fire and water burning through

The rarest love in any room

Like the ocean calling to the moon 

BLUEPRINT OF A LOVE DISASTER

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

You pour him whiskey

Tell the same old tales

All the names you can't remember

Still you count them like they're sales

Silver hair shining in the mirror of your past

Raise a glass to every promise

You were never gonna last

Silent architect

You drew the lines and walked away

Blueprint of a love disaster

Folded into how he breaks

You taught him that desire

Is a fire you never have to face

When you act that way

It's 'cause something's missing in you

Not in me

Not in me

You clap his shoulder

Say "That's just how men are"

Like a curse you bless him with

In the driveway by the car

You were hard on his softness

Called his crying a disguise

So he buried every feeling

Till it rotted into lies

Silent architect

I drew the lines and walked away

Blueprint of a love disaster

Every crack runs back your way

You taught him love is paper

Meant to tear when it comes through

`When you act that way

It's 'cause something's missing in you

Not in me

Not in me

You built a world

Where women hold the weight

Where every wound gets hidden

Under "that's just fate"

But I won't wear your ruin

Like it's something i should prove

I can leave this story

And still believe in something true

Silent architect

I'm stepping off your crooked frame

Blueprint of a love disaster

Burning up i walked away

You taught him love was damage

I learned love can be made new

When you act that way

It's 'cause something's missing in you

Never was me

Never was me

TOO LOUD FOR THIS HOUSE

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

She poured coffee like a ritual

Eyes on the counter Never mine

Laughing at some story

Where the punchline was a crying wife

She called it "men just being men"

Like a prayer with her teeth shut tight

I was bright

I was blunt

I was trying to turn on every light

I was too loud for this house

All my truth spilling out

They were built on keeping quiet

I was fire in their silence

Thought she loved what I stood for

Thought I'd be the girl she'd adore

But my courage scraped her rusted chains

So she chose my heartbreak

To balance out her pain

Her son wore the same crooked grin

That his father used to hide late nights

She saw my phone face down

And smiled like she knew the price

Called me "strong" when I was shaking

"Such a good one You'll be fine"

Then watched me drown in the same old ocean

She's been floating in all her life

I was too loud for this house

All my truth spilling out

They were built on keeping quiet

I was fire in their silence

Thought she loved what I stood for

Thought I'd be the girl she'd adore

But my courage scraped her rusted chains

So she chose my heartbreak

To balance out her pain

Did it comfort her

To see my eyes go dull

Did my broken voice

Make her feel full

She couldn't save herself

So she saved the story

By teaching him to lie

And watching me die softly

I was too loud for this house

Every word a shattered vow

They keep breathing in denial

Calling damage "just our style"

She mistook my strength for threat

Took my freedom as a debt

Let me wear what she once wore in vain

She stitched her quiet Into my pain

Now I walk away

Still singing

With my honesty intact

Leave their curses in that hallway

They can keep their twisted past

I was too loud for that house

But this wide world fits me now

PRETENDING

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

She poured me tea

Hands just barely shaking

Asked about work

About my little place in town

Said "You're so brave"

Eyes drifting to the window

Like I was some movie

She'd never written down

You called it peace

But it was just pretending

You called it love

While your heart stood still

You turned your face From every broken promise

Taught your boy

How to lie And call it will

I was the mirror you refused

The mirror you refused

To fill

He stayed out late

You folded all his shirts

Stacked them in silence

Like sandbags in a flood

You heard my story

How I packed my boxes

Saw your younger self

And swallowed it like blood

You called it peace

But it was just pretending

You called it home

Though the floorboards split

You watched me leave

With everything you wanted

Felt a quiet hunger

When other women quit

I was the mirror you refused

The mirror that you tried

To split

Did you hate me

For choosing the fire

For naming the wound

You dressed in lace

Did my freedom Sting like truth

Every time you saw My face ?

You called it peace

But it was just surrender

You called it fate

'cause you were out of dreams

You see your son

Replay the same old pattern

And every broken heart

Sews up your seams

I was the mirror you refused

The mirror showing

What you lost to keep

The dream
