9 Lives (Live Performance): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpNLAKTaHsw
I’m so proud of this one. It depicts an alternative reality of my life if I had listened to the wrong people. But I also wanted to show that even if I did get sucked into the system, it’s never too late to become the person you always wanted to be. I believe we all have 9 Lives, and we can choose whenever we want the next life to begin. 👔❤️🔥

Lyrics:
V1
I’ve had a string of narcissists
losers, liars, idiots
I can’t take em serious
I’m not gonna waste time and cry about
All the shit I can't figure out
Everytime they up and leave
I’m not out here losing sleep
I’ll get it right eventually
I'm not gonna let all this bad luck
Make me build my walls up
Pre
Cause I dont wanna be
One of those
Never try again
Types that I see
Closed off, ever jaded
So complicated
( not me )
CHORUS
I’m not scared that I’ll be ruined
If you cross my heart, no I won’t die
Cause I-I-I-I-I bounce back everytime
so go ‘head and put me through it
Stomp on my heart and twist the knife
I-I-love like I got 9 lives
V2 (verse 1)
Ive Tolerated lonely nights
full of fake friends and white lies
fuck it they’re not worth my time
I dont let these soul suckers cling to me
soon they’ll be just a memory
so come and devastate me
I may fall to my knees
For a day or a week but
nothing can hold me back
Yeah I find the good in the bad
Yeah
Pre
Cause I dont wanna be
One of those
Never try again types
That I see
Closed off, forever jaded
So complicated
(not me)
CHORUS
I’m not scared that I’ll be ruined
If you cross my heart, no I won’t die
Cause I-I-I-I-I boune back everytime
so go ‘head and put me through it
Stomp on my heart and twist the knife
I-I-I-I love like I got 9 lives
Cause I dont wanna be
One of those
Never try again
Types that I see
Closed off, ever jaded
So complicated
( not me )
