This was a song request that I turned around pretty quickly this afternoon.
Can you hear, my heart, beat like a drum
Keeps me up, at night, making me numb
A puzzle piece, I didn't know was missin'
I call out in the night, hope that you listen, do you hear me at all
'Cause all of my mistakes and my broken roads, bring me back, hit rewind
Every time, I think, I can, let you go, I don't know why, that, crossed my mind
Miles and years tore us apart, but you've always had my heart, since that first day
When I find my way to you, I'm gonna stay
It's a, waiting game, we're wasting time
Driving me, insane, can't read your mind
I promise, I won't make promises anymore
Words are empty, actions do speak volumes more, volumes more
'Cause all of my mistakes and my broken roads, bring me back, hit rewind
Every time, I think, I can, let you go, I don't know why, that, crossed my mind
Miles and years tore us apart, but you've always had my heart, since that first day
When I find my way to you, I'm gonna stay
Lost myself along the way, it's true
'Cause you know, it always has been you
'Cause all of my mistakes and my broken roads, bring me back, hit rewind
Every time, I think, I can, let you go, I don't know why, that, crossed my mind
Miles and years tore us apart, but you've always had my heart, since that first day
When I find my way to you, when I find my way to you, I'm gonna stay

Great emotion in your vocals, and your guitar, which is exactly the lyrics call for. I especially like the line, 'Cause all of my mistakes and my broken roads , bring me back, hit rewind." Nicely done!

This was great! I especially liked when you pushed and pulled with the melody, like taking your time with things like "I didn't know" but then pushing the beat with the word "missin'", for example. And the way you landed the second syllable of mistakes really resonated with me, too. I'm also a sucker for a good breakdown/quiet chorus and you delivered with a restraint-into-power-mode that got me feeling it! Rock on!

I really love your voice! I love the power behind it, the emotion that you bring to your narrative. Great work!
