about

This song is about the fear and doubt before entering into a relationship. 'Nothing Personal' entails my tendencies to self sabotage something good before it can get bad, hence pleading "Don't be gentle" in the chorus, saying that although I might be making it hard, to never give up because even though I may not know it this is the best thing for me.
This is the first single from my forthcoming self-recorded, self-produced, and self-marketed EP. Recorded with 2 microphones in my room, with humble beginnings these songs all have a part of me in them.

lyrics

V1/
Oh I’m just not so sure
Oh can you grab the door
Your clothes on the floor
My flaws how they gnaw

V2/
It’s nothing personal
I can’t ever give my all
But I have built these walls
I try to climb but fall

Chorus/
Don’t be gentle, darling
I’ve got no handle
I’m, I’m a vandle
Don’t, be gentle

V3/
I was clueless to think
You’d give up so easily
Stubborn love you’ll soon see
All these scars that I’ve hid

Chorus/
Don’t be gentle, darling
I’ve got no handle
I’m, I’m a vandle
Don’t, be gentle
