How To Write A Love Song
03:17
|
|||
|
We were talking for about five minutes
And I promise that I was listening
But he called us a “we”
Who the hell is “we”
This wasn’t love at first sight
And we won’t make it past tonight
He says he’s a nice guy
So he’s suddenly not my type
‘Cause I see one red flag and I run right for the hills
Oh I’ve been burned one too many times
I can’t seem to get things right
Now I’ve been single for so so long
That I’ve forgotten how to write a love song
I’m not looking for a prince to save my ass
I’m just looking for an equal with a little sass
Cause I’ve been single for so so long
That I’ve forgotten how to write a love song
Ba ba ba ba da da da dum
Ba ba ba ba da da da dum
Ba ba ba ba da da da dum
I’ve been on about fifteen dates
And they all go the exact same way
He buys me a couple drinks
But it won’t go where he thinks
Cause after three whole hours of the same monologue
About his 9 to 5 and how he has a dog
He has no clue
Who I am or what I do
And I hate to generalize about all of these damn guys but
I’ve been burned one too many times
I guess I can’t seem to get things right
Now I’ve been single for so so long
That I’ve forgotten how to write a love song
I’m not looking for a prince to save my ass
I’m just looking for an equal with a little sass
Cause I’ve been single for so so long
That I’ve forgotten how to write a love song
Oh how does it feel to fall head over heels into a cliche romance
The one that makes you wanna dance
Oh how does it go when your eyes lock slow
And you know, you just know
‘Cause I’ve been burned one too many times
I guess I can’t seem to get things right
Now I’ve been single for so so long
That I’ve forgotten how to write a love song
I’m not looking for a prince to save my ass
I’m just looking for an equal with a little sass
Cause I’ve been single for so so long
That I’ve forgotten how to write a love song
I’ve been burned one too many times
I guess I can’t seem to get things right
Now I’ve been single for so so long
That I’ve forgotten how to write a love song
I’m not looking for a prince to save my ass
I’m just looking for an equal with a little sass
Cause I’ve been single for so so long
That I’ve forgotten how to write a love song

Ba ba ba ba da da da dum
Ba ba ba ba da da da dum

Picture It
02:51
|

|
I wore that purple shirt you always liked
But today I wore it for someone new
We met for coffee on the west side of town
At a place that you would never go to
It seems strange
That though things change
I still see you in the bedsheets that I haven’t thrown out yet
You’ve been gone
And I’ve moved on
But I still see you at my kitchen table
How I wish I wasn’t able to picture it
I swore I’d never let you cross my mind
I know that I’m fine with how we ended it
And I don’t intend to dwell on what has passed
It’s just circumstance that brings me back to moments oh and
It seems strange
That though things change
I still see you in the bedsheets that I haven’t thrown out yet
You’ve been gone
And I’ve moved on
But I still see you at my kitchen table
How I wish I wasn’t able to picture it
Just when I think I’ve packed up every piece
I get a visit from another memory
It’s easy to forget, until it’s not so easy
It seems strange
That though things change
I still see you in the bedsheets that I haven’t thrown out yet
You’ve been gone
And I’ve moved on
But I still see you at my kitchen table
How I wish I wasn’t able to picture it

Villain
03:19
|
|||
|
Strip away what gives you strength
That’s how they control you
Tell you how you should behave
Do what you’re supposed to
I am tired of being made
To hide my inner truth
Yet if I act any other way
I get scrutinized for every move
How come I get called a villain
When I feel like I’m a victim
Just because I set a boundary
Doesn’t mean I’m in the wrong
How come when I protect my space
I’m a problem, I get the blame
So if that’s what you think, then
I guess I’m a villain
A woman has to be composed
They’re scared of her anger
A woman can’t walk at night alone
Or she’ll be in danger
A woman cannot be too smart
She’ll intimate them
A woman has to play the part
Or face extermination
How come I get called a villain
When I feel like I’m a victim
Just because I set a boundary
Doesn’t mean I’m in the wrong
How come when I protect my space
I’m a problem, I get the blame
So if that’s what you think, then
I guess I’m a villain
Call me every name you can
(Call me every name you can)
I’m ok with the way I am
(I’m ok with the way I am)
Rumors always will be spun
(Rumors always will be spun)
So I’m done holding back my tongue
(I’m done holding back my tongue)
Call me every name you can
(Call me every name you can)
I’m ok with the way I am
(I’m ok with the way I am)
Rumors always will be spun
(Rumors always will be spun)
So I’m done holding back my tongue
(I’m done holding back my tongue)
Call me every name you can
(Call me every name you can)
I’m ok with the way I am
(I’m ok with the way I am)
Rumors always will be spun
(Rumors always will be spun)
So I’m done holding back my tongue
(I’m done holding back my tongue)
I guess I am a villain
Even though I’ve been a victim
And I’ll stay firm on my boundary
Even if you think I’m wrong
Oh I will protect my space
I don’t care if I get the blame
Cause if that’s what you think, then
It’s just your opinion
And I’m just a woman
So I guess I’m a villain
I guess I’m a villain

Love That Stays
02:52
|
|||
|
She was like the ocean
Chaotic and unpredictable
She loved fiercely and truly
She was salty and fickle
He was like a river
Constant and strong
Always coming back to her
He couldn’t stay away for long
Something brought those two together
Was it a change in the weather
Or was always gonna be this way
I’m not sure, but I can tell
As long as everything goes well
This is the kind of love that stays
She was like the sunshine,
She was harsh but warm
She could light up a room
and you missed her when she was gone
He was like a mountain
Solid and grand
And she knew it from the moment
That he took her hand
Something brought those two together
Was it a change in the weather
Or was always gonna be this way
I’m not sure, but I can tell
As long as everything goes well
This is the kind of love that stays
She was always running
Never knew how to stop
But he was right there to catch her
When she started to fall
That was back in summer
When the days stretched out
He was by my side
And he still is now
Something brought us together
Was it a change in the weather
Or was always gonna be this way
I’m not sure, but I can tell
As long as everything goes well
This is the kind of love that stays

Little Miss Lead Foot
03:07

I think you knew before I did
That this was never gonna work out
You were so hesitant
But I jumped in head first without a doubt
That’s what I get for being reckless
I guess I should’ve seen the signs
You called me beautiful
But I wanted to call you mine
I’m little miss lead foot
I don’t know how to move slow
Zero to a hundred
Can’t control where I go
And I thought I loved you
Cause you had me at hello
But I’m little miss lead foot
So what do I know
What do I know
Can’t help my instincts
I’ve always seen in black and white
I try for balance
But the tight ropes up too high
I’d rather risk it all
Then stay between the lines
Cause if I break my heart
At least it will mend in time
I’m little miss lead foot
I don’t know how to move slow
Zero to a hundred
Can’t control where I go
And I thought I loved you
Cause you had me at hello
But I’m little miss lead foot
So what do I know
What do I know
Some may say I’m silly
Or I’m wishing on stars
But if I dream too small
I won’t get very far
And I wouldn’t want to be where you are
I’m little miss lead foot
I don’t know how to move slow
Zero to a hundred
Can’t control where I go
And I thought I loved you
Cause you had me at hello
But I’m little miss lead foot
So what do I know
What do I know

Lose My Heart
03:00
|
|||
|
I like to overshare so you think we’re close
But after a few months, you’ll realize nothing below my surface shows
I promise that I’m trying to be more vulnerable
But you haven’t earned my trust yet, I hope that’s understandable
I’m not trying to turn you away from falling for me
But I don’t want you to run when you realize it isn’t easy
it’s safer to lay out all my cards right at the start
So if you can’t handle me, at least I didn’t lose my heart
At least I didn’t lose my heart
I used to be co-dependent, now I’ve swung the other way
Cause I’m totally fine on my own, but I’d be happier if you decided to stay
I’ll always tell you the truth, but I’m not gonna coat it in sugar
And if you’re willing to stick around, I promise I can be a great lover
I’m not trying to turn you away from falling for me
But I don’t want you to run when you realize it isn’t easy
it’s safer to lay out all my cards right at the start
So if you can’t handle me, at least I didn’t lose my heart
At least I didn’t lose my heart
You seem too good to be true
I feel like I wrote you into existence
And I wanna pour my heart out to you
But you could be gone in an instant
I’m not trying to turn you away from falling for me
But I don’t want you to run when you realize it isn’t easy
it’s safer to lay out all my cards right at the start
So if you can’t handle me, at least I didn’t lose my heart
At least I didn’t lose my heart

Shine
02:32
|
|||
|
I’ve tried being honest
I’ve tried being kind
But I kept getting screwed
and I wasted too much time
I tried it the hard way
I tried the straight and narrow
But you won’t get to the top
Unless you sink a little low
Everyone’s already playing the game
So I’m joining in
I don’t care what it takes
Cause I’m here to win
As long as I see six zeros on that dotted line
I’ll do what I have to
So that I get to shine
Good girls get walked over
And run into the ground
While bad girls get Gucci
And are known around town
If I’m ruthless, but it’s worth it
Then I’ve justified the means
You better get on board
‘Cause I’m ready to scheme
Everyone’s already playing the game
So I’m joining in
I don’t care what it takes
Cause I’m here to win
As long as I see six zeros on that dotted line
I’ll do what I have to
So that I get to shine
I won’t go too far
I don’t need a lot
But I’m not backing down
Til I get what I want
I won’t go too far
I don’t need a lot
But I’m not backing down
Til I get what I want
Everyone’s already playing the game
So I’m joining in
I don’t care what it takes
Cause I’m here to win
As long as I see six zeros on that dotted line
I’ll do what I have to
So that I get to shine
I’m gonna shine
I’m gonna shine

Fly High Land Soft
02:38
|

|
Another airplane ride
Cruising through the sky
Thinking ‘bout you and those blue eyes
Phone calls have been missed
And I really wish that I
Had gotten back to you in time
Now I’m just left with your advice
You’d tell me not to be afraid to chase my dreams
And hearing “no” is not as bad as it seems
You’d always call me a rockstar
And say you know I’ll go far
And then sign off fly high, land soft
Sitting there with your guitar
Shaky hands but a solid heart
Oh I know you’ve come so far
I miss those moments every day
And the music you would play
And how I’d always recognize your car
Now I’m searching for you in the stars
You’d tell me not to be afraid to chase my dreams
And hearing “no” is not as bad as it seems
You’d always call me a rockstar
And say you know I’ll go far
And then sign off fly high, land soft
I see your face in every place I go
Remembering what we did
When I was just a kid
This is something that I wish I’d known
Our time was precious
And you were so special
You’d tell me not to be afraid to chase my dreams
And hearing “no” is not as bad as it seems
You’d always call me a rockstar
And say you know I’ll go far
And then sign off fly high, land soft
I hope you fly high, land soft

A Little More Heart
02:53
|
|||
|
I could sit and be sad about how my life is going
I could cry all day long about the problems that are growing
I could wallow around but there’s nothing I’d be earning
There’s no point letting the world get me down
So I’m gonna give a little bit back to someone who needs it
I’m gonna reach out and lift up someone else
And when I see that I’ve made someone else smile
I’ll know I’m doing my part
By putting a little more heart in the world
I could yell about how unfair life can be
I could constantly talk about all my misery
I could be mad, or angry, fuming, raving
But I don’t see a point in complaining
Nothing’s getting fixed that way
So I’m gonna give a little bit back to someone who needs it
I’m gonna reach out and lift up someone else
And when I see that I’ve made someone else smile
I’ll know I’m doing my part
By putting a little more heart in the world
Now I’m not saying you can’t be upset
When it feels like the world is against you
But take that frustration and turn it to creation
You’ll feel better if you do
I’m gonna give a little bit back to someone who needs it
I’m gonna reach out and lift up someone else
And when I see that I’ve made someone else smile
I’ll know I’m doing my part
By putting a little more heart in
A little more heart in
A little more heart in the world

I'm Glad I Stayed
04:42

I didn’t think I’d make it past thirteen
I was so scared of growing up
Didn’t think I could handle the pressure
I felt like enough was enough
So I made a plan but I never
Went through with it at the time
And I’m glad I didn’t cause look at everything I’ve done
And the decade that’s flown by
I’m glad to be alive
I’m glad that I survived
Cause when I look at my life
It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright
And I know dark days will come, but I’m not afraid
‘Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed
I didn’t think that I’d make it past sixteen
I was in love with someone who did everything he could to break me
And I couldn’t escape so I thought maybe this is the end
But thank god it wasn’t cause look at the future I had ahead
I’m glad to be alive
I’m glad that I survived
Cause when I look at my life
It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright
And I know dark days will come, but I’m not afraid
Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed
I never thought I would actually be happy
I was so consumed by my own suffering
So if you hear this, I hope you keep pressing on
Just roll down the windows and turn on this song and sing along
I’m glad to be alive
I’m glad that I survived
Cause when I look at my life
It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright
I’m glad to be alive
I’m glad that I survived
Cause when I look at my life
It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright
And I know that the dark days will come, but I’m not afraid
Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed
I’m glad I stayed
I’m glad I stayed
