Bad News 04:30
Would I be a liar if I said I trust her I tried to keep an open mind But I'm filled with gut feelings, my inside are reeling How could you be so blind You're only seeing what you wanna see And I'm begging you to think before you choose I know it's up to you And I'm not one to judge But she's screaming.... Bad news She puts her arm around you, claiming that she's found you You're different than the other guys But why don't you believe it's not in her to deceive We see it burning in her eyes I hate to be the one to tell you But everything she's done, she's gonna do it all again I know you think you're different And I'm not one to judge But she's screaming.... Bad news The way she went behind his back The way she made his poor heart crack wide open How can you live with that She tries to justify her ways But he's the one who had to pay What makes you think she won't do it to you one day I'm not one to judge....... But she's screaming...... Bad news

I'll Be Back 03:10
I try to find reasons why You fell from the sky to leave me behind I walk through my mind, remember the times I stood by your side Now I'm all alone and I'm singing like woah.... Move forward now, wonder how Peace will be found without you around Things have changed, circumstances rearranged But I'll be back one day And little do you know, I'll be singing like woah.... I'll be alright, I'm still gonna write These songs will bring me to life, and you can come for the ride If you'd like, the offer will never die Some bridges will never burn Hold on to hope for lessons learned Love never fades, there's never a time or place For this to be okay, but I'll be back one day

So many things to say forever locked away Inside this human cage drowning in my rage It's bleeding through my soul, the sorrow takes its toll It chills me to the bone, this war is not my own One more sleepless night, one more lifeless lie One more tear I cry, one more fear I deny Still I try to believe you'll come back for me It's just a waste of time, this consequence is mine (Chorus) And who was I to think The easy way out wouldn't destroy everything And who was I to be selfish enough to believe There was no choice to make when my whole world was at stake There is nothing left for me to show I have lost the right to not let go Buried under silence, three years of defiance Failure of reliance clouding my horizon My heart is testifying, desperately justifying All you put me through, I hope it was worth it for you (Chorus) x2

This is not your average love song It's not about a boy It's another kind of love song About another kind of joy It's something unpredictable And something you can't buy And they say enjoy it while it lasts Because it's gonna fly It's the cutest smile you've ever seen And the shiniest blue eyes It's the world within a smile And she's just the perfect size A little unexpected But nothing less of a dream come true This is not your average love song But I wrote it just for you This is not your average love song No romance in the air No diamond rings or fancy things Just a little baby bear And even her cries have you hooked From the moment they are heard I never thought I'd say it But she's more than I deserve It's the cutest smile you've ever seen And the shiniest blue eyes It's the world within a smile And the best part is she's mine Oh she's the best and all the rest Will fall where it's meant to This is not your average love song But I wrote it just for you This is not your average every day Standard typical along the way Not your average love song But I wrote it just for you

I'm gonna be okay no matter what you say You won't change my mind this time I'm gonna be alright, I'm starting to see the light The simple truth is right in front of my eyes (Chorus) You are not a man, you're a coward And it's not my price to pay, but you can keep the change I'll make it through the storm, you don't own me anymore It doesn't make much sense, but my energy is spent I can't hate you anymore 'Cause regardless of what you've done, I'm the lucky one I still have my dignity, so what have you got that I haven't got Tell me, why can't you tell me (Chorus) I understand your reasons for hiding from the truth Oh I do, 'cause if I were you I would be ashamed too (Chorus)

It seems we have ourselves a little situation Just a bit of an alienation Conflict of interest, crash landing at best Pushin' and pullin' and kickin' and screamin' All in my head but you don't know the reason It's like a bad drug boiling in my blood Still contemplating excuses for waiting The consequence it lays on the words I know I'll never say (Chorus) So what do I do when there's an elephant in the room An unexpected rendezvous And it seems to me I spoke too soon Oh what do I say when it's rack-rack-racking upon my brain I can't lie to hide the truth anymore You're just not what I'm looking for I never thought I'd have to be the one to tell you Break it down after all that we've been through Thought that you'd get it, don't sweat it, forget it My face is turning red and now my tummy's turning green I'm afraid I might say something I don't quite mean Can't keep pretending for a happy ending Still contemplating excuses for waiting The consequence it lays on the words I know I'll never say (Chorus) Still contemplating excuses for waiting My sanity it lays on the words I know I'll never say (Chorus)

We were driving around on a Friday night With the music loud and our hearts held high I can't wrap my head around it We've been searching now we found it Just you and me and a melody Shined a light that let me see the truth in you (Chorus) Just last week, I never thought that we would be Anything beyond what we had ever been before I never saw you that way before Just last week, you were just a friend to me And now it's kinda strange that all of that has changed But I don't really mind, I wanna make you mine I didn't know how it was gonna go When I went to drop you off at home I couldn't find the words to say So I had to tell you another way My heart was pounding and I know you felt it I was feeling real impulsive You told me just to go for it So I took a breath and I leaned in (Chorus) I finally got home and then I went to sleep And you were running around all night in my dreams I didn't ever think that we could be this way But now you're all that's ever on my brain You swore you'd help me up, I put my trust in you I have faith that these words you say are true I wanna be the one to make your dreams come alive Just like you've done for mine (Chorus)
