Lyrics

AT LEAST

How many times,
Have I thought back,
And wondered if,
The choice I made, was right?

But I'm doing fine,
And over time,
Feelings subside,
And life moves on...for the good

But at least I know that you're in the arms,
Of someone who will love you.
At least I know that you're free to find,
That happiness that we... just wouldn't.

Sometimes that spark,
Isn't enough,
To keep a love,
Together, forever.

I hear from friends,
You've found someone new,
Who makes you smile,
And makes you feel, damn good

So, at least I know that you're in the arms,
Of someone who will love you.
At least I know that you're free to find,
That happiness that we... just wouldn't.

Maybe in time,
We'll become friends,
Who can laugh about,
The way things, turned out

But until that day...at least I know that you're in the arms,
Of someone who will love you.
At least I know that you're free to find,
That happiness that we...

And, at least I know that you're in the arms,
Of someone who will love you.
At least I know that you're free to find,
That happiness that we....just wouldn't.

I loved the vocals,and piano. Did you like specific instrumental parts--vocals 1) Does my intro make you want to hear the song? yes 2) Does my opening line draw you in and make you want to hear more? yes 3) Is my melody interesting? yes 4) Does my melody get stuck in your head? yes 5) Does my chorus stand out and take the song to a higher place? somewhat

Singer's voice reminds of several artists in the alt-pop genre. I could imagine a band like The 1975 doing this, but with more modern percussion.
