This song is so personal to me, and it is also so healing to no longer hold it as only mine. When I first experienced the things I sing about in this song, I was in complete denial and felt so much emotional pain I couldn’t talk about it. I put on this persona to everyone and to myself that I was fine, and only my absolute closest friends knew how far from okay I really was. I first met Kingdoms around this time and we wrote an awful song about something totally made up. Fast forward a few years and I’m in the studio with them again and now that I’ve processed what happened, i tell them what was actually going on for me at that time.
DIHTBH? was made soon after and I can’t thank them enough for helping me write about something that I was scared to approach so honestly in my music.
For a long time I’ve felt like I gave away my voice and power and let other people narrate my own story and experiences. I denied myself from feeling anger and kept quiet because I thought that was the right thing to do, and in doing so, I hurt myself so much.
it’s been scary to be so vulnerable on a scale like this, but if I have learnt anything over the last few years it’s that vulnerability and honesty in who we are, and who we have been is a beautiful healing thing.
This song is yours now, i hope it brings you something and if it does I would love to know what. There is nothing I love more than reading a message from one of you with a story of how a song of mine has intertwined with your own life.

Lyrics:
First Verse - Em D Bm G
I left a present for you underneath your pillowcase
You went to New York and got me to check in on your place
Called me up every day, said that you're having a great time
Forgot to say, she was right there by your side
Now looking back I wasn't crazy when I asked if everything's okay
Pre Chorus - D Em D C
Can't you see the similarities?
Same brown hair just a different city
So convenient that we're the same
And she's even got my name
Chorus - Em D Bm G
Did you really have to go and break my heart with someone just like me?
Did you ever think of how you'd fuck me up with insecurity?
And i keep on trying but not a part of me is okay
If you're gonna tell me something
Tell me this
Did it have to be her?
Did it have to be her?
Second Verse - Em D Bm G
I can't escape the feeling that i'm just not good enough
Cause in two weeks you threw away four years of all my love
Now you're begging for me but you feel like a stranger
Every sorry doesn't change that you're a traitor
Wish I could put you in my body so you feel every pain I feel
Pre Chorus - D Em D C
Can't you see the similarities?
Same brown hair just a different city
So convenient that we're the same
And she's even got my name
Chorus - Em D Bm G
Did you really have to go and break my heart with someone just like me?
Did you ever think of how you'd fuck me up with insecurity?
And i keep on trying but not a part of me is okay
If you're gonna tell me something
Tell me this
Did it have to be her?
Middle 8 - D Em C
Did her touch make you feel like you ever did with mine?
Did the guilt eat you up or did you push it out your mind?
I guess you never had to worry about getting us confused
Cause if you called me by her name
I wouldn't have a clue
Chorus - Em D Bm G
Did you really have to go and break my heart with someone just like me?
Did you ever think of how you'd fuck me up with insecurity?
And i keep on trying but not a part of me is okay
If you're gonna tell me something
Tell me this
Did it have to be her?
Did it have to be her?
Wrote this song by myself one dark rainy night in London last year, every time I listen it makes me smile in such a bittersweet way.

Lyrics & Chords:
Verse - Cmaj Dm7b5
I like the way you party
And I like the way you dress
I love it when we’re naked
And your lips kiss my breast
I’m always drawn to funny
And you make my laugh explode
But you keep me at a distance
And i feel my feelings slow
Pre - Am Em F
When you ignore me for the day
Shut down when I try communicate
Am Emaj7 Ebdim7 Gmaj
Each time we’re close to something great
You pull away
Chorus - Cadd9 Dm7b5
I love you
Just not in the way that I’m supposed to
I know it’s strange to say that
I love you
But there are things I need that you just can’t do
I don’t want to hate you
Fmaj Fm Cmaj
for the things you can’t be
Fmaj
Because who you are is wonderful
Gmaj/F
You’re just not the wonderful for me
Verse - Cmaj Dm7b5
You’re kind and you’re so generous
All your friends they love you so
I like that you are better than me
At playing piano
I love the shades you paint of love
The world that you create
But that hopeless romantic
Never shows up to our dates
Chorus - Cadd9 Dm7b5
I love you
Just not in the way that I’m supposed to
I know it’s strange to say that
I love you
But there are things I need that you just can’t do
I don’t want to hate you
Fmaj Fm Cmaj
for the things you can’t be
Fmaj
Because who you are is wonderful
Gmaj/F
You’re just not the wonderful for me
Final Chorus - Cadd9 Dmaj Am Am/g# Am/g Fmaj Dm7 g/f
I love you
I know you feel the same too
And I’m okay
With letting you free
Causes you’re wonderful
Just not the wonderful for me

This song makes me feel so warm and fuzzy every time I listen to it, it's also a great song for a first dance (I know this because last year I got to watch my best friend dance to it for her first dance). Hope you guys love this one xxx

This music video is a combination of the two greatest loves of my life. Music and Ice Skating.
For many years, I have dreamed of making this music video. When I was 6 years old my mum took me ice skating and I fell in love with the sport. For the following 8 years, ice skating was a huge part of my life. I'd wake up at 5am to train before school, I was competing up and down the country, I was also part of three synchronised skating teams and captain of one, and we went on to become British and Scottish champions multiple times, as well as getting the opportunity to compete overseas in Russia and Switzerland.
My career as an ice skater came to an end when I was 14, which was when I first picked up a guitar and discovered my love for writing songs and creating. However the skills and lessons I have learnt from ice skating have stayed with me.
I have dreamed for a long time of one day making a music video where I can combine the two, and when I wrote 'Liars Like You', I knew I finally had the right song.
I spent the last six months training for this video, waking up at 5am just like I used to, catching the train to Slough ice rink for training, before heading back to London and going to the studio to write a song. It's been a joy to get my skating skills back up to scratch and working with my coach Hamish to choreograph this piece.
I really hope you love this music video as much as I do.

LYRICS:
I've loved people I shouldn't have
Been hurt and disappointed
I thought all of that was in the past
Thought I knew how to avoid it
Cause I told myself
Don't miss the signs
Don't waste more time on the bad guys
Didn't think you were a bad guy
Cause your voice doesn't crack when you say it
And your eyes they don't give it away that
Even you forget which parts are true
That's the problem with liars like you
And you laugh like I said something funny
Call me crazy till I think I must be
You're so good at doing what you do
That's the problem with liars like you
We both know that you're to blame
But you're acting like a victim
Like I deserve to feel the shame
Cause I didn't love you different
And I told myself
Don't miss the signs
Don't waste more time on the bad guys
Didn't think you were a bad guy
Cause your voice doesn't crack when you say it
And your eyes they don't give it away that
Even you forget which parts are true
That's the problem with liars like you
And you laugh like I said something funny
Call me crazy till I think I must be
You're so good at doing what you do
That's the problem with liars like you
And the worst part is how much I miss you
Hate myself cause I want to forgive you
It takes all the strength left in my body
Everytime that you tell me your sorry
Your voice doesn't crack when you say it
Your eyes they don't give it away that
Even you forget which parts are true
That's the problem with liars like you
And you laugh like I said something funny
Call me crazy till I think I must be
You're so good at doing what you do
That's the problem with liars like you
