    lyrics!
    Try your worst, 'cause i've heard it all
    and just stuck on a brave face &tried to walk tall
    and you can tell me that i've changed when you can look me in the eye
    i've got tricks up my sleeve
    as I wave goodbye
    I like to think that I am stronger now than I was before
    but now I'm having trouble showing you the door
    And ohhhh
    i'm on my road
    i've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand
    and now I'm here
    picking my pieces off the ground
    we need to get the negativity slack and let the positivity back
    I need a smile that isn't fake
    but i'ma need your help for goodness' sake, your help
    I'm sick of being a drifter, being a floater
    go-away-and-get-the-boat-er
    no one wants you here, why can't you see
    I was living life through someone else's eyes but now I'm finally back to me
    I like to think that I am stronger now than I was before
    but now I'm having trouble showing you the door
    And ohhhh
    i'm on my road
    i've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand
    and now I'm here
    picking my pieces off the ground
    picking my pieces off the ground
    picking my pieces off
    the ground you stand on
    the ground that looks you in the eye
    the ground you stand on
    the ground that you will just walk by
    And ohhhh
    i'm on my road
    i've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand
    and now I'm here
    picking my pieces off the ground

      Saw her pop up on Spotify just now with 46mil listens!! Had a mini cheer sesh in my car this morning!
      I was an avid follower and must of lost touch when I deleted my Facebook years ago. Shame on me!!
      Just popped in to jam out to some of her older tunes and am heartbroken to see them wiped off the internet…these songs were such a big part of my life!

    The beginning is Am / F / G (bar 10th fret, cover D, G, and B on 12th fret)
    Chords are Am / F / G / C (the G is normal here)
    The intro is on b 3/5 to 3 on high e to 5/3-1 to 2p0 on g
    Little hammer ons and pull offs every so often

    In the last 6 months I’ve discovered Fizz and the solo music of all its members, I’ve made up for lost time by purchasing about 90% of all the physical records, CD’s and vinyl (I’ll get there a few are a bit expensive) I absolutely love Fizz I’ve never heard or seen a band having so much fun who sound so good and I adore your solo work (my playlist in the car for months has been the Fizz album, your album and a lot of various Dodie, Orla, Martin & Greta songs) your singing is so good your phasing and tone are brilliant, the writing is off the scale with the constant quality. I’ve been collecting records for 50 years and haven’t had this buzz about an artist/band in decades, I collect artists including Bowie and even he hasn’t released an album since 1976 that I don’t skip at least one or two tracks but there are no tracks on your album or Fizz’s album I skip every track is great that just doesn’t happen to me (or hasn’t for decades) thank you (all) for making an older music fan who’d become a bit jaded with it and usually played music from decades ago feel that buzz again!
    I know it’s not related to this video but your video playing on Martin’s It Get’s Better live at Middle Farm is so bloody good all the Fizz members and the many friends playing on it are all obviously having so much fun it’s a joy to watch (especially your dancing behind the drums/Tom Toms getting so into it your knees are almost hitting your chin!
    Thank you again and long may you all keep making such amazing music together and solo, this song is great first time I’ve seen the video!

You're an awesome musician, I love listening to you.

    Wait wait wait. When you're born in 1995, you were only 17 in 2012? That's amazing! Orla you are a true inspiration to me. I've seen you in concert twice- once on VALENTINE'S DAY with dodie (best V's day ever!). I love your music. I ADORE your mimics and how you're really feeling your music. And guess what- now I am putting together a cover CD (which I am singing and recording with my covers of songs) for my parents for Christmas and I'll probably put New Friends onto it :-)
