Tell me what you're doing here
Why you hawking' me
Are you stalking' me now?
Sayin' things that I can't believe
Baby I can see what you're trying to do to me
Take your hands offa me
Back offa me
Don't even say my name
Cos I told you 3 months before it was over then
So turn and walk away from here
Leave me alone
I really hope you find someone new
Cos when you do you'll be hawkin' them
Stalkin' them
And I'll be free from you
CHORUS 1:
It's unbelievable what you had tried to do
Turn all my friends against me now you try and say it ain't true
But I was on to you they told me every word
And I know it's just so unbelievable...so unbelievable, babe...
And when I turn to walk away
Why do I feel you creeping' up on me
Tryin' to say that I did you wrong
That I took your love for granted when your love was really strong, yeah?
Tellin' friends how I played you false
I was out running' game and you were never number one, yeah?
Don't try to twist this you weren't for love
You wanted someone to toy with
Cos love just ain't enough, baby
Not for you
You needed someone that you could control
Baby I'm not for you
So walk away, leave me alone...
CHORUS 2:
It's unbelievable you thought that you had won
Cos love's a game you play, but prepare to be outdone
It ain't a game to me that's why I play for keeps
And I know it's just so unbelievable...so unbelievable, babe…
REPEAT CHORUS 1
REPEAT CHORUS 2

Drowning

CHORUS:
I'm in over my head
Didn't look when I jumped in
My feet weighed down with lead
I'm undone you left me drownin'
Can't move and I can't breathe
Your warning sign read nine-feet deep
Your waves crash over me
I'm undone you left me drowning'...
You ripped my heart right off my sleeve
I'm sick and tired of what you do to me
I blame you
You make me fall in and out of love with you so fast
I let you go, but I keep bringing you back
Now I feel like...
CHORUS
I tried to run but now I'm trying to fight it
But every time I get so lost inside it
How do I make you leave
Cos your memory is trapped inside of my head
And I've had enough
How can I get over you when you won't let me??
CHORUS
No life raft to save cos baby you left me on my own
I'm treading water, it's harder...I'm in a dead man's float
I'm going under, it's no wonder I can't catch my breath
You stole my heart when you left me for dead
CHORUS 2X

Fade

Tick tick tock
I'm staring at the clock
Sleep don't know my name
you left about an hour ago
took me high, to leave me low, the same old thing
Cos I can't control how you come and go
Emotions crash in waves
So tired of the ebb and flow
I'm sinking when you hold me close then pull away
CHORUS:
Cos living with you I can barely breathe
You keep me in the dark so I can't see
The power that I gave you over me
But I'm so tired of playing games
I want a love that's real, not fake
The kind of love that lasts and won't fade
So I'm gonna let you fade
Tick tick tock
I need this ride to stop
I'm so tired i wanna scream
So fucking hard to let it go
But it's time to let you know I'm breaking free
CHORUS
from view
like a movie's final scene
i'll keep you with my distant memories
CHORUS

All In All

You are like a rose in bloom so beautiful
I should beware of the thorns around you
You laugh and play with me but at night you're gone too soon
Is there's another love for you?
It's kinda like that rainy day
When through the clouds a ray of sunlight shines down on me
You're bittersweet like a silly game two children play
Keep hide and seeking everyday
CHORUS:
I can be your all in all if you gave me the chance to show I can
I can be your only love in this lifetime I swear to you I am
Wish I had the answer to why, why life is funny this way
I could do everything right you'd slip out of sight anyway
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
So everything I’m trying to tell you is simply this:
I could love you better than anyone else ever could
REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE

Hurt Someone Like You

December 18th, 2014
I remember that day like yesterday
We sat in bed talked for a while
Smiles turned to laughter then laughter to tears
Suddenly you said, "Hey, what are we doing here?"
And you've been unhappy for some time
I always did what I wanted to, never considered your love
And now you feel so invisible, like we're divisible
You might as well be a ghost
So give it to me straight, is this goodbye?
How long does it take to reach the other side?
I'm tired of feeling fake
I really don't feel like smilin' when I'm dyin'
The hardest thing to do is to face that final truth...
...and hurt someone like you
The truth came out eventually, you always wanted him
Why did you choose me?
You can't say I didn't try
Cos I did my best to be the man that you wanted
But you wanted stripes and leopards are spotted
I was killin' myself to make it right
I always did my very best for you, always considered your love
But when I see you sittin' next to him, it all sinks in
Ain't nothin' I could've done
So, i'll give it to you straight, this is goodbye
Don't know what it takes, but I'mma reach that other side
Don't wanna come off fake
But I really don't feel like smilin' when I'm dyin'
The hardest thing to do is to speak that final truth...
...and hurt someone like you

You Know Love

Let me tell you all a story about a little boy from a small town
See growing up he didn't need nothing
Until one day you know he found
He found a little girl who liked him
Pretty brown eyes and a sexy smile
She was oh so wild
But she misused the love he gave her
Love turned to hate after all
And now she's gone
CHORUS:
You Know Love - It can be madness
You Know love can cause such a mess
If the one you love don't know
Or if their feelings just aren't so
You Know love don't love nobody
And it sure don't mess around
Let me tell you all a story
Of a little girl straight from the city
She was just nineteen
Her head was full of dreams
She was oh so smart and so very pretty
Now there are many roads to choose from
But when the game is love you play to win
Anything less is a sin
But she was lucky in love
And her man truly loved her
Night and day he would say to her
CHORUS:
You know, Love - You're my everything
You know, love - you're the reason why I sing
Like a sweet November rain
Or making' love with no restraint
You know love can be so lovely
But it's sure hard enough to be found
You know love can be the highest high or it can be the lowest low
It'll turn you upside down turn you inside out
You won't know whether you're coming or going
You know love...
