I'm No Good
03:22
|
|||
Seems all I do these days is worry
Spending hours in my head
On the bad days it gets blurry
What’s real and what’s pretend
And I’m no good at leaving things in the past
No I’m no good at seeing when something won’t last
I hold on so tight to whoever I love
Until they’ve had enough
Getting tired of overthinking
Every little thing I do
Sometimes I wind up drinking
But it never helps the way I want it to
And I’m no good at leaving things in the past
No I’m no good at seeing when something won’t last
I hold on so tight to whoever I love
Until they’ve had enough
I try to hold on to the moments
When I know
It’s all gonna be alright
But the time that passes slowest
Is when you think you're in the middle of an endless night
You start to doubt there’ll be light
I’m no good at leaving things in the past
No I’m no good at seeing when something won’t last
I hold on so tight to whoever I love
Until they’ve had enough
Until they’ve had enough

Sorry if it Bothers You
03:51

To say that I have been naive
Would be putting it too nicely
I’ve been called a fool a time or two
Ever since I was a kid
I’ve been keeping my voice hidden
Thought I was keeping the peace, but I was keeping quiet
And now I’m tired of walking that line
Between saying what is on my mind
Or saying that I’m fine
And now I shout when I am angry
And I cry when I’m blue
And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you
I’m saying no instead of maybe
Not gonna sugarcoat what's true
And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you
Getting used to letting go
Without being pulled by the undertow
Now I stand with two feet on the ground
No one likes when I make waves
They say that’s not how a good girl behaves
Thought I was keeping the peace, but I was keeping quiet
And now I’m tired of walking that line
Between saying what is on my mind
Or saying that I’m fine
Now I shout when I am angry
And I cry when I’m blue
And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you
I’m saying no instead of maybe
Not gonna sugarcoat what's true
And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you
Now I shout when I am angry
And I cry when I’m blue
And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you
I’m saying no instead of maybe
Not gonna sugarcoat what's true
And right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you
Right now I’m not sorry if it bothers you

Together Again
02:41
|
|||
Here we are again
In the middle of the end
And I don’t even pretend
To say it's gonna get better
So here we are together again
In the middle of the end
And I can’t be just a friend
When you keep sending me letters
So here we are together again
Photo on the wall
From last July
Fireworks glimmer dancing in your eye
Salt and pepper shaker
From that road side stand
That trip to Carolina
When you asked for my hand
Here we are again
In the middle of the end
And I don’t even pretend
To say it's gonna get better
So here we are together again
In the middle of the end
And I can’t be just a friend
When you keep sending me letters
So here we are together again
Here we are together again
Forever’s just a word
Easy enough to say
I watch every sunset for the brand new day
But when the mornings come
Its coffee and TV
Silently sitting
Here we go again
In the middle of the end
And I won’t even pretend
To say it's gonna get better
So here we go together again
To the middle of the end
And I won’t be just a friend
When you keep writing me letters
So here we go together again
Here we go again
In the middle of the end
And I won’t even pretend
To say it's gonna get better
So here we go together again
To the middle of the end
And I won’t be just a friend
When you keep writing me letters
So here we go together again
Here we go together again
Here we go together again
Here we go together again

Hold On
03:26
|
|||
When the world decides to fall
Will you hold on, hold on
To every passing thought
That you brought up, brought up
Will you forget the words you found
To say you were caught up
On a feeling
Caught up on a feeling
Oh do you wanna go,
Runaway never come back oh
I didn’t wanna see you cry
But baby it’s goodbye
And if it wasn’t for the end
Could I build up the courage to see your face again
This is impossible surrender
And if everything remained
Would this feel the same
Oh do you wanna go,
Runaway never back oh
I didn’t wanna see you cry
Oh do you wanna go,
Runaway never back oh
I didn’t wanna see you cry
Watching you watching it
All go to hell now
Chaos is finding its way out of your mouth
And every time you speak
All the little things and all the misery
Will find a better place
Before we leave
Caught up on a feeling
Oh do you wanna go,
Runaway never back oh
I didn’t wanna see you cry
But baby it’s goodbye
But baby it’s goodbye
But baby it’s goodbye

So Long
03:09
|
|||
You say you’re gonna stop
I'm not changing my mind
So drink up every drop
Of my mercy ‘cause I’m leaving it behind
Thought that you would change
Have I been a fool all along?
Thought that I was right
And I was waiting for you
To prove them wrong
Waited for so long
So long
You say you’re gonna quit
You mean it this time
I won’t say you’re full of shit
Cause I know that you believe it in your mind
Thought that you would change
Have I been a fool all along?
Thought that I was right
And I was waiting for you
To prove them wrong
Waited for so long
So long to the long nights worrying
And all the long days wondering
Maybe you will change
Or maybe I’ve been a fool all along
Maybe they were right
Or maybe you’ll finally prove them all wrong
But I’m done waiting for so long
So long

Quick Fix
03:12
|
|

Maybe tomorrow
I’ll get to going
Do what I’m supposed to do
I've been owing it to myself
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll get to moving
Finally see it ain't about proving it to anyone else
Gotta put that kinda thinking on the shelf
But I know there's not a quick fix
I know it's not easy
No there’s not a quick fix
Though I wish there could be
Oh but a little step in one direction’s
Gonna take me where I’m heading
If I can get out of my own way
I’m gonna get there, one day
Tired of the movie
Playing in my mind
I know where it’s gonna go
But I rewind it anyway
Tired of the voice that just keeps me doubting
I wanna live for a while without it getting in the way
Oh I’m done with giving it a say
But I know there’s not a quick fix
I know it's not easy
No there’s not a quick fix
Though I wish there could be
Oh but a little step in one direction’s
Gonna take me where I’m heading
If I can get out of my own way
I’m gonna get there...
I know there’s not a quick fix
No it’s not easy
No there’s not a quick fix
Though I wish there could be
Oh but a little step in one direction’s
Gonna take me where I’m heading
If I can get out of my own way
There’s not a quick fix
It’s not easy
No there’s not a quick fix
Though I wish there could be
Oh but a little step in one direction’s
Gonna take me where I’m heading
If I can get out of my own way
I’m gonna get there
Oh I'm gonna there
I’m gonna get there one day

28

There was a time I thought by 28
I’d be married or engaged
Settled down and stable
But I’m still waking up late
On a Tuesday
Cleaning empties off the coffee table
Been in about a dozen weddings now
And honestly I’m losing count
Of the times that I have heard “Don’t worry,
One day you’ll figure it out,
You’ll get out of this drought”
But love aint something
I wanna hurry
So if I’m behind
I don’t mind
I got everything that I could ever need
I got my own definition of succeed
I like moving through life at my own speed
So if I’m behind
I don’t mind
My older sister called me up one day
She said I’ll give it to you straight
Veronica there’s things you need girl
So put some money away
And start a 401K
Welcome honey, to the real world
Well if I’m behind
I don’t mind
I got everything that I could ever need
I got my own definition of succeed
I like moving through life at my own speed
So if I’m behind
I don’t mind
So if I’m behind
I don’t mind
I got everything that I could ever need
I got my own definition of succeed
I like moving through life at my own speed
So if I’m behind
I don’t mind
Oh if I’m behind
I don’t mind

New Dream
03:59
|
|||
I thought I knew what I wanted when I was a girl
Grow up and get married, have babies and give them the world
Maybe I just thought that that was what I was supposed to want
Or maybe I'm just saying that cause I aint go no one
I know I’m still young
With time to get old
I’m just wondering if love’s ever gonna unfold
But it doesn't hurt
The way that it should
Knowing my dreams might come to no good
No it doesn't sting
Like I thought it would
Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood
Hard as it may seem
It’s time for a new dream
A new dream
I thought that finding someone would be simple enough
Plenty of people have done it
It can’t be too tough
Maybe I don't really know what it is that I want
Or maybe I'm just scared as hell
So I put up a front
I know I’m still young
With time to get old
I’m just starting to doubt that love is gonna unfold
And It’s starting to hurt
The way that it should
Knowing my dreams might come to no good
Oh and it stings
Like I thought it would
Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood
I want someone who needs me
I don’t want a new dream
Oh and it hurts
The way that it should
Knowing my dreams might come to no good
Oh and it stings
Like I thought it would
Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood
I want someone to need me
I don’t want a new dream
New dream

All I Need to Know
03:23
|
|||
Woke up from a dream
That didn’t end
Didn’t need to sleep
For my mind to bend
A hope into a fear
Til it was all that I could hear
All that I could hear
The stone beneath my house
I feel it shift
The walls I built around
Begin to drift
Away and start to break
I look around at what I should take
What I should take
It feels wrong to leave behind
Anything that I’ve been given
The point of the view I’ve been assigned
But in the end
When I let go
I can hold on to the love
And see that's all I need to know
All I need to know
Lying in the rubble
Alone again
Worried I’m in trouble
But I won’t pretend
To want my old place back
A glass house is always gonna crack
Always gonna crack
So I pick up what I can without getting hurt
Build a new foundation in the dirt
Bits and pieces from the past
This one looks like it will last
Like it will last
It feels wrong to leave behind
Anything that I’ve been given
The point of the view I’ve been assigned
But in the end
When I let go
I can hold on to the love
And see that's all I need to know
All I need to know
All I need to know
It feels wrong to leave behind
Anything that I’ve been given
The point of the view I’ve been assigned
But in the end
When I let go
I can hold on to the love
And see that's all I need to know
All I need to know
All I need to know
Woke up from a dream
That didn’t end

Worry
03:31
|
|||
Well you can worry your little heart away
About what's coming the next day
Oh but one day the next day won't come
Will you look back and say “I did pretty well”
Or will you kick yourself for going through hell
When you still had the chance to go through life?
Life is just a river
We’re all trying to stay afloat
Don’t turn your heart to stone
Else it’ll sink your own boat
And one day it’s gonna take you to the right place
Yea one day it's gonna take you to the right place
Well you can plan ahead for years down the road
But one day when your story is told
You won’t have any control over what they say
So leap without looking every once in a while
Let your heart get broken if it means you smiled
And remember even good can come from pain
Life is just a river
We’re all trying to stay afloat
Don’t turn your heart to stone
Else it’ll sink your own boat
And one day it’s gonna take you to the right place
Yea one day it's gonna take you to the right place
You’ll face rough waters
But calm times too
And as you’re going
You gotta stop and enjoy the view
If you’re always looking ahead or behind
You’re bound to miss the point of life
Life is just a river
We’re all trying to stay afloat
Don’t turn your heart to stone
Else it’ll sink your own boat
And one day it’s gonna take you to the right place
Yea one day it's gonna take you to the right place
