Every year you make it clear you’ll never take it back Anything I say becomes a way to relaunch your attack When the sand is running low Will you come out from your whole Is there something I don’t know Let go oh oh I have said everything I can Don’t understand And you know exactly where I stand It’s in your hands Let it go What you waiting for Why you waiting for me I am at your door Sore Hoping I’m still hoping that you’ll open to a talk If our blood is thick we’ll make it stick and both have some remorse If we carry on like this There’ll be nothing left to give And it’s not how we should live Let go oh oh I have Said what I said and still no regret Been the bigger person ego is as small as it gets I have Held out my hand tried to make you understand My side of events but my presence is banned You have Shut down calls ‘cause you haven’t got the balls To address a situation I’m afraid you caused You have Spoken to every other person but me Telling lies trying to make sure that you stay blame free I have said everything I can Don’t understand And you know exactly where I stand It’s in your hands Let it go What you waiting for Why you waiting for me I am at your door Sore You got me crazy I don’t see how we can make amends Don’t usually phase me All of patience and love spent All of my care and my trust spent All the respect and regard went You didn’t know how much these Meant meant meant

Can’t keep sitting where you left me Can’t keep holding on to broken glass Then I’m bleeding heavy Wishing that I learnt from the past I know I control this I know I’m my biggest threat Still I’m bleeding heavy Guess I don’t want to give up yet I give everything And it’s never joy you bring To you love I cling That doesn’t mean a thing Ever since you went away you’ve been playing on me Ever since you had your way you’ve been playing with me Been without without without my trust Call you back I’m busy ain’t enough Ohh ohh now I see now I see Claim to be such a stand up guy What is done in dark comes to light Why must I make mistake to know right Or wait ‘til I break before I say goodbye Now you’re a joker dance to my pain To steps closer to you knew flame It is a pity the man you became Or maybe worse still that I thought I’m to blame I gave you everything And it’s never joy you bring To you love I cling That doesn’t mean a thing Ever since you went away you’ve been playing on me Ever since you had your way you’ve been playing with me

I had it all planned out When I would say my vows Be the boss in a blouse By a beautiful little house Nothing turned out that way Chasing a dream delays Glad I stopped being afraid No regretting the choice I made But I don’t know what’s coming next No fear, no fear, no fear No I don’t know what’s coming next No fear, no fear, no fear But I don’t know what’s coming next No fear, no fear, no fear No I don’t know what’s coming next No fear, no fear, no fear Thinking about the last ten I had straight hair back then Never knew I find love Or that I would be good enough Used to walk head right down All of my smiles were frowns Couldn’t cope with my skin But I had to find love within Now I’m ready for what comes next No fear, no fear, no fear Now I’m ready for what comes next No fear, no fear, no fear Now I’m ready for whatever comes No fear, no fear, no fear

about

No Steps Back is the final instalment in my Seasons Series. "When I was thinking about the type of project the Winter EP should be and what I wanted to say, I felt that it was the toughest season. The bitter cold and gloomy days can be depressing and you rely even more so on the loved ones around you, family, partners etc. If those relationships are strained it
affects the relationship you have with yourself. So with No Steps Back, Joy Anonymous and I dug into my personal experiences and ones inspired by others. We found there is a strength that comes from painful experiences and overcoming them allows you to move forward with new
power. You are transformed every time.
