If I Fled

Star crossed lovers is what we are
Lost in covers reaching from afar
Haunted thoughts and stolen dreams
Make sullen tears and hearts that plea

Do you even know I love you so
If I could steal a kiss, I’d show you how
Though you were never mine to have and hold
I could be bold and take you now

Ooh

Tasting solitude, it’s a quiet cold
Craving company, your hallowed glow
Empty talk and promises make desperate fears
And through all this

Do you even know I love you so
If I could steal a kiss, I’d show you how
Though you were never mine to have and hold
I could be bold and take you
Do you even know I love you so
If I could steal a kiss, I’d show you how
Though you were never mine to have and hold
I could be bold and take you

Would you speak low if you spoke of love, if that was enough
Would you be mine, could you undo what we know can’t be undone
Now, there ain’t no reason to wait
We’ve got more to endure so take a leap of faith

Do you even know I love you so
If I could steal a kiss, I’d show you how
Though you were never mine to have and hold
I could be bold and take you
Do you even know I love you so
If I could steal a kiss, I’d show you how
Though you were never mine to have and hold
I could be bold and take you
About New Album

Star Crossed Lovers

 

“Star Crossed Lovers” explores the ache of two souls bound by destiny yet separated by timing, circumstance, or forces beyond their control. It is a song about love that feels inevitable—and impossible at the same time.

 

Drawing inspiration from the timeless tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and the countless real-life romances that mirror it, the song reflects on what it means to love deeply without certainty of belonging. These are the relationships marked not by lack of feeling, but by restraint—by knowing when love exists, even if it cannot be claimed.

 

The lyrics capture the tension between longing and self-control, desire and acceptance. It’s the quiet torment of loving someone who was never truly yours to have, and the courage it takes to hold that truth with tenderness rather than regret.

 

“Star Crossed Lovers” invites listeners to revisit their own moments of near-miss love—the ones shaped by timing rather than intention—and to find beauty in the connection, even when the ending was written in the stars.
