Led Me On 02:55
You led me on, you led me on You led me on, and now you’re wondering why I’m gone It’s ‘cause you led me on Oh girl, when I first met you, I didn’t know how to tell you, The way I felt inside, The way I would’ve died for you Oh girl, you had me blinded And I couldn’t see how one-sided This whole thing was The thing I thought was love You had me sold right from the start, You knew you’d got a hold of my heart Oh girl, you stopped responding But my heart, it kept on falling For something that wasn’t there, Still hoping that you cared I’ve heard in this world, That it’s pawn versus pawn But at least a chess piece Wouldn’t’ve led me on Oh girl, I see more clearly, That you don’t even want to be near me I’ve finally given up now, Cause you won’t even show me how you feel I’ve heard in this world, That it’s pawn versus pawn But at least a chess piece Wouldn’t’ve led me on Oh girl, now it’s apparent That you weren’t being transparent You’ve lied to me and made me see You weren’t right What a beautiful map to my heart you’d drawn What a shame it was only used to lead me on Lead me on, lead me on

Been feeling this way for quite some time, How am I supposed to tell you what’s on my mind I can’t decide if I should hide it and conceal Or should I just flat out tell you how I feel I want to tell you how I’ve felt so badly Cause you’re the only person that I love so madly I need to tell you now But I just can’t think of how to tell you Do I risk the friendship that we’ve got Does being with you really mean a lot Is it really worth risking it all Just in hopes that you will fall for me I just need to get it off my chest And I hope that saying this will be for the best I’m pouring out my feelings for you The feelings I’m sure are true I’m in love with you, don’t know how else to say it But I’m not sure how to display it I really don’t want to delay it So here I am just trying to convey it I’m telling you the truth and you know it I’ve been trying really hard to show it This is how I feel for you Our love could be so strong and true I’ve finally given into the feelings I’m feeling Though my heart is still fleeing But I think you could convince it to start believing Cause in time I know that it’ll start seeing That you’ve the person that I’ve been needing You’re the one who will be completing the rest of me

I wish you could tell me what’s on your mind, girl Cause I really think you’re fine, girl But all you do is turn me away, You lead me astray! I wish you would answer my telephone calls, dear You’ve been building up your walls, dear It’s the perfect place to hide, Please let me inside I just want you to show me if you love me back You know you’ve certainly got the knack Please show me how to ask you if it’s true Cause I’m dying to know, do you love me too I’m getting the feeling you feel the same, love But maybe it’s only a game love But I sure do love to play I need you to say You know I’m wanting to tell you bad To the point it’s gonna drive me mad So here’s my confession: I’m in love with you But it leaves me wondering one single thing; Do you love me too I just want you to show me if you love me back You know you’ve certainly got the knack Please show me how to ask you if it’s true Cause I’m dying to know, do you love me too I wish you could tell me what’s on your mind, girl Cause I really think you’re fine, girl I just wanna hear you say You feel that way Tell me if it’s true Do you love me too

Emma-Lynn 02:54
When I first met you, I must say, That I’d never felt this way about someone before, it’s true You took me by the hand and you showed that love could be more Than anything I’d seen before But then you grew distant, and it was plain to see That you were losing your interest in me, Oh, and what a fool I’d become by not talking about it Well, Emma-Lynn, Don’t you know I think it’s a sin, For you to leave me and go on loving him, Oh, Emma-Lynn It was apparent that you were gonna go, That you were smitten with him, I should’ve known Not to trust you with my heart cause I knew it would be broken, And you would leave the wound wide open Well, Emma-Lynn, Don’t you know I think it’s a sin, For you to leave me and go on loving him, Oh, Emma-Lynn I used to be happy when I saw your face, But now I’m only filled with pain, Was there a reason you had to do this, Or did you just want to drive me insane? I used to be happy when I saw your face, But now I’m only filled with pain, Was there a reason you had to do this, Or did you just want to drive me insane? Well, Emma-Lynn, Don’t you know I think it’s a sin, For you to leave me and go on loving him, Oh, Emma-Lynn Well, Emma-Lynn, Don’t you know I think it’s a sin, For you to leave me and go on loving him, Oh, Emma-Lynn

I’ve gotta get these words and feelings out But telling you in person is not what I’m about Should I send a text to you that happens to say Oh please girl; don’t turn me away If I do confide my feelings in you, But the feelings aren’t mutual, what am I to do Should I ask you to try to find a way So that you don’t go and turn me away I’ve had my heart broken so many times before How can I be sure That if I say I’d like to be more than a friend That you won’t leave me on opened We’ve been talking for a while and I’ve felt a real connection To the point where I’ve started to feel some hints of true affection But if that’s not the case, then just let me say Well c’mon girl, don’t turn me away I’ve had my heart broken so many times before How can I be sure That if I say I’d like to be more than a friend That you won’t leave me on opened If I do confide my feelings in you, But the feelings aren’t mutual, what am I to do Should I ask you to try to find a way So that you don’t go and turn me away Don’t turn me away, Don’t turn me away, Don’t turn me away, Don’t turn me away

about

Here's a bunch of stuff I've written over the past few months, years even, that I'm intending on releasing for a side project (Shhhh, you didn't hear that from me). It's an album with jumpy, upbeat, 2-3 minute 60's-esque pop songs that could fit right into any 60's catalogue; plus it's got lyrics included!

Everyday leading up to the end of the year, a new track will be added: That's 5 new tracks of original material leading into 2021!

Merry Christmas, with love, From Me To You!

Alex Cavern is a self-taught Canadian musician writing poppy love songs with catchy melodies and simply complex chord schemes, most reminiscent of bands from the early 1960's. Although his recordings showcase semi-polished harmonies and various guitar tracks; his live sound is entirely different. ... more
