about

"Made for Us" is one of the first songs I wrote after deciding to pursue music as more than just a cathartic hobby. Fresh out of a break-up and some family related issues, this song poured out pretty much all at once. It details the attempt to understand a loss and make peace with it (loss), in more ways than once.

lyrics

I never used to listen
And I never used to cry
But I finally heard what you said
And my eyes won't dry

You never used to walk out
And you never used to run
But now you're 1,000 miles away
And you say that you're just done

Well five letters have no meaning
When i put them into words
Yeah sorry is a broken sound
You've already heard

And I don't know if love
Is something made for us
I don't know if love
Love is even real
Oh is it real
But going through this hell I'm living in
Has had one thing to show
It took a broken heart to save my soul

Now I try my best to leave
Try not to speak to you
'Cause the place you're in is happy
And the one I'm in is blue

And it's such an up and down
When our words exchange
My hopes come up or your spirits hit the ground
And that'll never change

Well I thought you leavin'
Would be the death of me
But even with this pain I'm in
I'm starting to feel free

And I don't know if love
Is something made for us
I don't know if love
Love is even real
Oh is it real
But going through this hell I'm living in
Has had one thing to show
It took a broken heart to save my soul
