Don’t love yourself?
Nor can anyone else,
You should,
Find just one reason,
To be kind to yourself,
You could,
Lie in your bed,
Get in your head,
That’s enough,
You gotta snap out of it,
Gotta pick myself up,
Tell myself that I can,
Used to think I was all that,
Guess I’m not, but I am what I am,
If I fall, if I trip now,
Yeah it’s all in a day,
If you love me, you love me,
If you don’t, then baby that’s ok,
‘Cause I’m not perfect,
Don’t you know, I can grow,
But I’ll never ever ever be perfect,
So what?
Tell me you’re not the same,
‘Cause I’m not perfect,
I know I thought I was,
Always gonna try and be perfect,
But I,
Would rather feel the pain of being imperfect.
Yeah I’m a mess,
And I’ve been around,
It’s true,
Sometimes I’m up,
But most times I’m down,
Like you,
I’m still alive,
And I can thrive,
Don’t give up,
You’re gonna live to regret it.
Gotta pick myself up,
Tell myself that I can,
Used to think I was all that,
Guess I’m not, but I am what I am,
If I fall, if I trip now,
Yeah it’s all in a day,
If you love me, you love me,
If you don’t, then baby that’s ok,
‘Cause I’m not perfect,
Don’t you know, I can grow,
But I’ll never ever ever be perfect,
So what?
Tell me you’re not the same,
‘Cause I’m not perfect,
I know you thought I was,
Always gonna try and be perfect,
But I,
Would rather feel the pain of being imperfect.
It’s taking all I had to believe that I’m,
fine, just fine, and my mind is mine, so I,
Don’t wanna look back, don’t wanna hear that,
voice inside, i’m living my life.
(Much better than I was before x8)

Baby I got something bad to tell you,
I don’t love you and I never will
Baby I’ve been this way, like, forever,
You never stood a chance cos I’m a mess
I’ll just fall into something new,
Like I always do,
Cos I never knew,
How to stick around.
I was only making jokes,
When I told you,
That I loved you,
How do I explain?
I’m afraid to be alone,
So I hold you,
It’s not about you,
I’ll never feel the same,
I was only making jokes,
When I told you,
That I feel you,
Never felt that way,
So baby get your coat,
You can have a toke,
Then I’m gonna send you on your way.
Nothing you could say could change my mind now,
I got this hurting cycle down to an art,
No one matters, nothing ever works out,
I hate myself so I could never love you.
I’ll just fall into something new,
Like I always do,
Cos I never knew,
How to stick around.
I was only making jokes,
When I told you,
That I loved you,
How do I explain?
I’m afraid to be alone,
So I hold you,
It’s not about you,
I’ll never feel the same,
I was only making jokes,
When I told you,
That I feel you,
Never felt that way,
So baby get your coat,
You can have a toke,
Then I’m gonna send you on your way.
Somewhere someone out there’s calling your name,
Whilst someone deep inside me’s going insane,
Maybe one day I could learn to change,
But this is how I’ll keep my heart safe
I was only making jokes,
When I told you,
That I loved you,
How do I explain?
I’m afraid to be alone,
So I hold you,
It’s not about you,
I’ll never feel the same,
I was only making jokes,
When I told you,

Barely Alive

Slow down and tell myself I’m doing alright,
But then I catch myself,
Doing all the things I swore I'd rather die than do.
'Cause in the light it's plain to see,
My sanity,
Is crawling down,
Inside of me,
I taste it still,
That remedy,
It keeps me up.
How'd I end up 25,
Barely alive at 25.
You'll be my friend if you can throw me a line,
And if you ask me then,
I’ll swear I’m doing all the things a man’s supposed to do.
But in the light it's plain to see,
Catastrophe,
Has slowly crept,
Crept up on me,
I’m feeling sick,
I cannot breathe,
Is this all,
That’s left of me?
How'd I end up 25,
Barely alive.

Soothe '20

I like it when you hang around
So what?
We don't need no "us"
And if you're gonna go and let me down
So what?
We don't need no love
But I know I owe a lot to you
I can't get enough of what you do
You soothe just a little bit
From time to time
Let loose just a little bit
And come inside
You're here in the thick of it
And I can't hide
You make me feel the heat
I say I'd like to stick around
Then run
Love waits for no one
And if you're gonna wanna settle down
Then run
I just need a rush
And I know it means a lot to you
But you need to know just what you do
You soothe just a little bit
From time to time
Let loose just a little bit
And come inside
You're here in the thick of it
And I can't hide
You make me feel the heat
I feel it every time that I look at you
I know I'll never love you like I'm meant to do
But still you soothe
Just a little bit
Let loose just a little bit
You soothe
Just a little bit
You soothe....
You soothe just a little bit
From time to time
Let loose just a little bit
And come inside
You're here in the thick of it
And I can't hide
You make me feel the heat

Love Find A Way

How’d you make me feel?
Make me feel like heaven’s real,
Take my heavy soul,
Add it to your own,
I can see your smile,
Emblazoned on my mind,
I feel you like the sun,
Shining on us,
Why can’t you be here today?
Instead you feel so far away,
I feel like you’re just in my head,
A sketch of a lover I made.
But love finds a way,
If this wasn’t something I wouldn’t have stayed,
Yeah love finds a way,
And nothing else has ever left me this way.
So I just say.
I cry out in the night,
If you hear me, come tonight,
I can feel your kiss,
Before I’ve even touched your lips.
We could run away,
Somewhere we aren’t ten thousand miles away,
We jump on the next plane somewhere,
Anywhere,
But it’s useless if you can’t be here today,
Instead you feel so far away,
I feel like you’re just in my head,
A sketch of a lover I made.
But love finds a way,
If this wasn’t something I wouldn’t have stayed,
Yeah love finds a way,
And nothing else has ever left me this way.
So I just say.

One Desire (BONUS)
03:37

It’s way too soon,
But still I’m waking in the dead of night,
I lose my cool,
Let in the thoughts that are so hard to fight,
You got me spinning a web now,
A web to catch the feelings flying around,
Is this the moment that I’ve fantasised?
The one where I let hope in my life?
Is this your design?
A picture so surreal,
Let’s take another,
And let love be kind,
‘Cause I never knew my one desire,
Feels the way that I do.
And my heart caught fire,
Didn’t know that you knew,
It’s my one desire,
To feel the way that I do,
And I know this fire,
It’s my one desire.
Oh god it’s you,
Just had to be the one I shouldn’t have,
I know there’s rules,
But rules have never made for happiness,
You helped me out of a hole now,
The first to see me in the light of the day,
I can’t survive if I just fantasise,
I got to get you into my life,
We’re the one design,
A picture all too real,
That lasts forever,
And it’s only a matter of time,
‘Cause I never knew my one desire,
Feels the way that I do.
And my heart caught fire,
Didn’t know that you knew,
It’s my one desire,
To feel the way that I do,
And I know this fire,
It’s my one desire.

Unconditionally (BONUS)
04:38
|

You got one more try,
To convince me,
That nothing else will ever go wrong,
The love in me was never so strong,
I know I know it.
This is my last time,
I’m defeated,
And powerless to do it alone,
But someone’s on the end the phone,
Who loves me unconditionally?
I wanna know right now,
That I’m good,
That I’m worthy of another go round,
And round we go, it’s worth a shot you know,
This time it’s.
Unconditionally,
I wanna go right now,
To the ends of the earth,
And know I’m being me,
Unconditionally.
I got one more try,
So I’ll listen,
But no one else can want it but me,
Only I can want to get free,
I know I know it,
This is why I’m trying,
To believe myself,
And even when I’m saying these words,
No one else can tell me I’ve heard.
(Whoooo?)
Who loves me unconditionally?
I wanna know right now,
That I’m good,
That I’m worthy of another go round,
And round we go, it’s worth a shot you know,
This time it’s.
Unconditionally,
I wanna go right now,
To the ends of the earth,
And know I’m being me,
Unconditionally.
You love me unconditionally,
And I will never know why,
But I’ll try,
To live up to every thing that you,
Always hoped I’d be,
Far as the eye can see,
This time it’s,
This time it’s.
Unconditionally,
I wanna go right now,
To the ends of the earth,
And know I’m being me,
Unconditionally.
