Think I could do without you Banging down my door Without you Sending me to war Without the My Cherie amour I’ve told you more than once I don’t know who you are But everywhere I go I know you’re not too far And All I hear about you It’s all bad news about you I keep it real because you Never did It’s hard enough but I Keep catching both your eyes Why do I always find you On me? I’m in the middle of the woods Taking my clothes off Cuz you said I should And you cut me down But you look so good And I let you in Cuz I thought you would I heard you snap a pic And you did not think That I saw that shit Better give that up Cuz if you send it I will say some things That I won’t admit Is there anyone out there? Cuz you got me sleeping in the yard next to u Is there anyone out there? Cuz I think I’m hanging onto hearts that you drew Keep taking up my time Maybe I’ll see the signs In everything you do I don’t know how you knew The way you lie Your shoes untied Our last goodbye Is there anyone out there? Cuz you got me sleeping in the yard next to u Is there anyone out there? Cuz I think I’m hanging onto hearts that you drew (Guitar solo) Is there anyone out there? Cuz you got me sleeping in the yard next to u Is there anyone out there? Cuz I think I’m hanging onto hearts that you drew Is there anyone out there...?? Is there anyone out there? Cuz you got me sleeping in the yard next to u I’m in the middle of the woods Taking my clothes off Cuz you said I should And you cut me down But you look so good And I let you in Cuz I thought you would I heard you snap a pic And you did not think That I saw that shit Better give that up Cuz if you send it I will say some things That I won’t admit Is there anyone out there? Cuz you got me sleeping in the yard next to u Is there anyone out there? Cuz I think I’m hanging onto hearts that you drew

Are you still filled with Some resentment? I’m wishing my guilt Could’ve fixed it When you’re gone for so long But you’re in every song Can you let me change? ‘Cause I can’t live this way Got me thinkin’ got me drinkin’ got me up on my toes Got my keys I’m out the drive I’m hopin’ nobody knows That I’m thinking about you Can’t live without you I wanna stay I gotta say I gotta get up and go I catch a case of karma every time I try to have both But I’m thinking about you Can’t live without you I want you to see where I come from I wanna repent for what I’ve done I wanna be honest I just wanna be honest, yeah I need to be wrong before I’m right I wanna regret this one more night I wanna be honest I just wanna be honest I can’t blame you for Your indifference I’m wasting my time With all my wishes So the sad truth is that Those you’ve hurt don’t come back Can you let me change? Cuz I can’t live this way Got me thinkin’ got me drinkin’ got me up on my toes Got my keys I’m out the drive I’m hopin’ nobody knows That I’m thinking about you Can’t live without you I wanna stay I gotta say I gotta get up and go I catch a case of karma every time I try to have both But I’m thinking about you (Thinkin’) I want you to see where I come from I wanna repent for what I’ve done I wanna be honest I just wanna be honest, yeah I need to be wrong before I’m right I wanna regret this one more night I wanna be honest I just wanna be honest Because you haunt me And I can’t fall asleep I keep on tossing While I’m talking in my dreams I checked you out and I cannot pay my dues I know I’m lucky But I’m failing while I’m filling in my shoes I want you to see where I come from I wanna repent for what I’ve done I wanna be honest I want you to see where I come from I wanna repent for what I’ve done I wanna be honest I just wanna be honest, yeah I need to be wrong before I’m right I wanna regret this one more night I wanna be honest I just wanna be honest, yeah

Walk on egg shells Sink before we crash Two steps forward Then you gotta throw it back Let’s take a rain check She said to my neck I thought you liked me too You took my guitar I wrote you post cards I thought you heard the news You know me better than Anybody else babe I wish I didn’t Give you the best of me I don’t know what I’m supposed to do Can I get another night with you? I don’t wanna get it right this time I just wanna get you off my mind Can we Go somewhere dodgy Get lost in my shotty You know where to find me Can we Pack like we’re sardines Pretend that we’re sorry But baby what are we? Woke up tied down Maybe this is love Walk me backstage Just so you can show me up I don’t know what I’m supposed to do Can I get another night with you? I don’t wanna get it right this time I just wanna get you off my mind Can we Go somewhere dodgy Get lost in my shotty You know where to find me Can we Pack like we’re sardines Pretend that we’re sorry But baby what are we?

You’ll only want me when I’m famous You’ll only want me when I’m singing to someone else And now I can’t believe I waited Just tearing pages from the lessons You wrote yourself And I hope you’re doing fine Cause hey well so am I And now I think of all the wasted time between your eyes Cuz I’ve got such a reputation Some tiny troubles in my headspace or so they say If I’m your doctor, where’s my patience? A little negligence is often the game you play I hope you’re doing fine Cause hey well so am I And now I think of all the wasted time between your eyes You let you let All this go It feels like everything you said and all the things you really meant disguised the words I wanna say and why’d you act so different Even if you haunted me Called me up and taunted me I wouldn’t let you hurt my fragile soul Te conozco Atrapaste mi corizon Crippled Concubine Can’t stand to be alone If you could find A seldom sober side of me Or civil smile apathy You will miss me when I’m gone And I hope you’re doing fine Cause hey well so am I And now I think of all the wasted time between your eyes (You’ll only want me when I’m...) I hope you’re doing fine (And you let, you let...) Cause hey well so am I (All this go...) And now I think of all the wasted time between your eyes (You’ll only want me when I’m...) And I hope you’re doing fine Cause hey well so am I (Hey well so am I) And now I think of all the wasted time between your eyes You’ll only want me when I’m famous

LEFT BEHIND 03:10
lyrics

Were you always honest? Were you always kind? How will you be satisfied With the love that you left behind? It’s what you’re making it Think it up and taking it Kick it back And slide off your shoes Forgive yourself and let it go Keep going cuz you’re almost home You know they ain’t got nothing on you Put the top down Round this out Gotta pout downtown Cuz I know you’re looking for me Hit it don’t frown You’re in luck now Triple salchow Cuz I spun out Cold drinks looking at me But where’s your heart at? Showing me love And I give it right back I just wanna know Why we don’t do that Put the camera down Open up And burn that past You didn’t know how before You Went through hell and back And Now you’re back for more You gotta stand your ground Before you slam the door You gotta speak the truth Before you pay it forward Somehow you lost track Dust yourself off And go get it right back Let yourself breathe You look better like that Every cornerstone builds Where the sunshine’s at Don’t let me love you Don’t let me love you more than Don’t let me love you Don’t let me love you more than you

WON ME OVER 03:33

You tried to take me from my treehouse You cut me down until I fell I caught the clouds and peaked your interest I took a mile and left you inches But you don’t know me Just listen to yourself I’ll help you tear this down I guess it’s my fault I went and let you in So you can tell your friends That you played my game And you won me over I guess it’s my fault I went and let you in So you can tell your friends That you played my game And you won me over I took a screenshot of that one time I shot my shot and crossed the goal line You had that twinkle like the sunshine When you hit me with that side eye But you don’t know me Just listen to yourself I’ll help you tear this down I guess it’s my fault I went and let you in So you can tell your friends That you played my game And you won me over I guess it’s my fault I went and let you in So you can tell your friends That you played my game And you won me over When you sit by the shore line Do you think you’re on my mind? And I think that it’s high time I accept what I can’t find Because I crawled over your line And I fell by the wayside Catch a glimpse of the sunrise Discontent like a fine wine I guess it’s my fault I went and let you in So you can tell your friends That you played my game And you won me over I guess it’s my fault I went and let you in So you can tell your friends That you played my game And you won me over

BEHIND THE DARK 02:23
lyrics

Everything sounds the same And you’ve only got yourself to blame Do you run? Do you hide, Or do you Dance in the rain? Cause it feels so far And the time just slips away And the art in your mind has turned to skeptics And verbal pyrotechnics And you hide your scar Behind the dark And the participle paradiddle Peace and love and live a little Even if it’s in your mind Sing a silly song or something Say that simple sorta nothing Anyone can just be kind Is it just too late? Do we still debate? Now exfoliate your time Behind a heartless borderline And I don’t know if the sun sings When it’s low But when you leave I’ll still love you even so Everything sounds the same And you’ve only got yourself to blame Do you run? Do you hide, Or do you Dance in the rain? Cause it feels so far And the time just slips away And the art in your mind has turned to skeptics And verbal pyrotechnics And you hide your scar Behind the dark And I don’t know if the sun sings When it’s low But when you leave I’ll still love you even so

I don’t know what You ever saw in me You rest your head Upon my sleeve But you knew I wasn’t ready for you You were a light in Every single room With your eyes That shade of blue That afternoon I wasn’t ready for you What it is In my head Will only be How I’d like to be remembered What it is Actually Can only be A beautiful moment in December You got me raising the bar It’s been you from the start Yeah you know who you are Can you cheat And still show her you care? Watch her wash you from her hair And now you see her everywhere I wasn’t ready for you And if you hear me Know this much is true I only fell in love With you But we grew I wasn’t ready for you What it is In my head Will only be How I’d like to be remembered What it is Actually Can only be A beautiful moment in December Did you mean Those words you said to me? Why do I hear them in my sleep? Why do I miss your bad perfume? I wasn’t ready for you And if hear me Know this much is true I only fell in love With you But we grew I wasn’t ready for you I wasn’t ready for you I wasn’t ready for you I hope I’m ready for you

You used to call me in the bathroom when you took your makeup off and brushed your hair I wonder if I really heard you did I read between the lines behind your stare I let go Without a fight I’ll never have you But I’ll keep you for the night I would text I would call I would write on your wall I would sleep on your steps when You’re not home I would cry I would scream I would make it a scene I would beat down your door till the cops come I would climb I would crawl I would burn down the mall I would eat all the rich do do do do Through the sticks And the stones I would wait for the tone cause I know cause I know I’m hung up on you cause I know I’m hung up on you cause I know I’m hung up on you cause I know I’m hung up on you cause I know I’m hung up on you I would text I would call I would write on your wall I would sleep on your steps when You’re not home I would cry I would scream I would make it a scene I would beat down your door till the cops come I would climb I would crawl I would burn down the mall I would eat all the rich do do do do Through the sticks And the stones I would wait for the tone cause I know cause I know I’m hung up on you I used to call you every night and You would tell me what you did and who you saw You’ll never know enough about me To know I’ll miss the days we did nothing at all cause I know I’m hung up on you cause I know I’m hung up on you I would climb I would crawl I would burn down the mall I would eat all the rich do do do do Through the sticks And the stones I would wait for the tone cause I know cause I know I’m hung up on you

WHAT WAS IT FOR? 03:35
lyrics
buy track
If I dance inside the corner of your mind If you give me just a little bit more time When you slip straight throw the cracks in all my lies What was it for? (What was it for?) If I gave myself away to the other side Do you think you could let me escape your mind? And if you leave this earth I hope that we can find What it was for Now that I’m getting older I get to watch me fall apart When I’m a little bolder Can we let me restart? I let you go Not because I wanted to but I’ll let you save yourself You were perfect No wonder that I wasn’t worth it I’ll keep you on my shelf If I find a stronger backbone in my spine Maybe this time I won’t have to rob us blind And when I agree that all the fault is mine What was it for? Now that I’m getting older I get to watch me fall apart And when I’m a little bolder Can we let me restart? I let you go Not because I wanted to but I’ll let you save yourself You were perfect No wonder that I wasn’t worth it I’ll keep you on my shelf I let you go Not because I wanted to but I’ll let you save yourself You were perfect No wonder that I wasn’t worth it I’ll keep you on my shelf (What was it for?)
