Lyrics
(Verse)
I was raised to feel that love
has no space when you grow up
that I had to keep my distances
and grow a stronger heart
I was taught to be so tough
feelings always hide a bluff
so I had to keep my distances
be careful who I trust
(Chorus)
My life was like a roundabout
without an exit, no way out
until you found a million ways
to bring a smile to my face
My life was like roundabout
I walked around in screams and shouts
until you turned my black to white
life doesn’t have to be a fight
(Verse)
I was told it’s always smart
to ignore my silly heart
that I had to be resilient
instead of counting scars
So I grew to be a rock
with a sentimental block
and I always kept my distances
and paid the price it cost
I was raised to feel that love
has no space when you grow up
that I had to keep my distances
and grow a stronger heart
I was taught to be so tough
feelings always hide a bluff
so I had to keep my distances
be careful who I trust
(Chorus)
My life was like a roundabout
without an exit, no way out
until you found a million ways
to bring a smile to my face
My life was like roundabout
I walked around in screams and shouts
until you turned my black to white
life doesn’t have to be a fight
(Verse)
I was told it’s always smart
to ignore my silly heart
that I had to be resilient
instead of counting scars
So I grew to be a rock
with a sentimental block
and I always kept my distances
and paid the price it cost

Bio
I am a Lyricist, HR professional and certified coach.
Through all three, I feel close to my purpose, which is to create the circumstances for people to feel good.
I write lyrics in Greek and English, and nine songs using my lyrics have been released so far.
I have a deep passion for lyrics -I dream, think, and move through life in words, and I love always having pen and paper close by to turn thoughts into lyrics that can become alive through music.
