The Codependency Waltz // Kaela Cordero



Hey y'all! My name's Kaela Cordero. I'm an artist based in Toronto, Canada.

Ever been in love with someone so much that it's unbearable to be away from them? Well, I've been there. There comes a point in a relationship that it may start heading south- something that makes or breaks it. For me, it was holding on too tightly, letting jealousy fester from the inside out. It's at that point that the relationship is no longer healthy for either party.

I'll let the lyrics of The Codependency Waltz tell you more about it:

LYRICS:
[Chorus]
I just keep making a mess of things 
Want wedding vows and promise rings
I just keep flitting from fling to fling
Without a thought of the pain I bring
What a fool to love someone like me
Maybe baby I should set you free

[Verse 1]
Darling your hand's a handful in mine 
A handcuff entwined
Know she's in the eye of your mind
Don't leave me behind

Oh, I'm scared, unprepared
Unaware of how I hurt you
Patience spent, you repent
Promise it's a one-off event

[Chorus]
You just keep making a mess of things
Want wedding vows and promise rings
You just keep flitting from fling to fling
Without a thought of the pain you bring
What a fool to love someone like me
Maybe baby I should set you free

[Verse 2]
Lover, when we're apart
My heart stops, need you to restart it
Being alone once you've departed
Can't stand it just stop it

Wallow in gloom in my room
House as silent as a tomb
Sweetheart stay, oh I pray
If for just another day

[Bridge]
Oh, at night we just fight
My words cut you like a knife
Then you leave, oh I grieve
Then I pick up all the pieces 

[Outro]
What a fool to love as such as we
Loving me's a liability
