  1. Fucked Up Girl (demo)

You hated this song. You never wanted to be thought of as a fucked up girl, but that’s how I thought of you. Because you were. I still loved you, long, long ago.

  1. Neverland

I didn’t write this song for you, but you loved it and claimed it for yourself and we tried to make a music video, which ended poorly, as you know. But you’ve never heard the very first voice note version, so here it is:

  1. Gray Skies and Bad Weather (very old song pls don’t judge haha)

I wrote this for you on Valentine’s Day. I was attracted to your darkness, your creativity, and your absolute disregard for me. I saw myself in you. Looking in your eyes was like looking in a mirror. Can you blame me for wanting to get nearer?
