about
‘Heal’ was written to amplifying the importance of finding self-love and self-worth over seeking validation from others – something Susy herself has taken a long time to learn. With powerful soulful vocals, funky horns and synths, and drum grooves and bass lines dripping in soul, ‘Heal’ will make you feel empowered whilst getting down to its distinctive soul sound.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh you think that you’re slick with it, and that you know it all
But I’ve got news for you, I’ve been here before,
So this doesn’t work with me anymore
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Not long ago I would’ve fallen for it,
Chosen to deceive myself and say you’re honest, I can’t lie to me no more,
You’re only tryin’ to make it work for you,
Not for me and you I know there’s plenty others, so don’t try it with me
[Chorus]
So you’re gonna say what you’re gon’ say,
But it won’t work with me no way, no, it’s not soothin’ my soul,
You say you wanna bring it all to me,
But actions speak more than words to me, no,
It’s not healing this hole in me
[Verse 2]
There was a time not long ago, you would’ve gotten all, all my love,
Laid it all out on you without a second thought, cos I was just glad to have anyone
[Pre Chorus 2]
Back then I tried to find my worth in
those who weren’t deserving nowhere near worth it,
I won’t lie to me no more
Now if you want anything from me you’ve got to
prove you’re worth my time, something true about you,
I won’t lie no more
[Chorus]
So you’re gonna say what you’re gon’ say,
But it won’t work with me no way, no, it’s not soothin’ my soul,
You say you wanna bring it all to me,
But actions speak more than words to me, no,
It’s not healing this hole in me
[Bridge]
Without self-respect how can I expect others to treat me right,
In order to heal, I’ll be how I really feel,
And if you don’t like it, get away from me
[Chorus] x 3
So you’re gonna say what you’re gon’ say,
But it won’t work with me no way, no, it’s not soothin’ my soul,
You say you wanna bring it all to me,
But actions speak more than words to me, no,
It’s not healing this hole in me
