Be Bad 03:46
I don't understand it, no it doesn't make sense Why's he calling you, when he's got a girlfriend Now some may say it's cheating, well whatever it is I don't care what he says, you're better than this Cause a guy like him is a dime a dozen, always wanting more, satisfied with nothing Give him an inch and he'll take a mile, But you will be the one to cry Cause you just make the good boys wanna be bad You bring out the worst side of the best guys Oh you make them reach for, what they can't have You just make the good boys wanna be bad Now don't misunderstand me, I know how you feel He's got you so confused, you think his love is real Now tell me if he leaves her, and all your dreams come true What makes you think he won't do the same thing to you Cause a guy like him is a dime a dozen, always wanting more, satisfied with nothing Give him an inch and he'll take a mile, But you will be the one to cry Cause you just make the good boys wanna be bad You bring out the worst side of the best guys Oh you make them reach for, what they can't have You just make the good boys wanna be bad And you can't say that I didn't warn you girl Cause I've been there before and it always ends the same way I know it's hard, but you've gotta see the truth Cause when you play this game, you're gonna lose Cause a guy like him is a dime a dozen, always wanting more, satisfied with nothing Give him an inch and he'll take a mile, But you will be the one to cry Cause you just make the good boys wanna be bad You bring out the worst side of the best guys Oh you make them reach for, what they can't have You just make the good boys wanna be bad

Best Love 04:47
You had it made, then I came along And put your defenses to the test When you started to cave, you started to feel lost, Cause you knew that she still had your best Cause the grass is always greener, and it's so much better to love from afar, the light is easier to bear when you shield your eyes But I, I left my armour at the door, I couldn't move on without shedding my skin, I played your tug of war for so long, but you wouldn't let me in Someday you'll realize you wasted so much time, when you could have had the best love You could have had the best love Always chasing a dream, that you wanted so bad to forget, but you kept on hanging on And no matter how I tried, it seemed that I could never compare, and I was obsessed with what went wrong Cause the grass is always greener, and it's so much better to love from afar, the light is easier to bear when you shield your eyes But I, I left my armour at the door, I couldn't move on without shedding my skin, I played your tug of war for so long, but you wouldn't let me in Someday you'll realize you wasted so much time, when you could have had the best love You could have had the best love Cause the grass is always greener, and it's so much better to love from afar, the light is easier to bear when you shield your eyes But I, I left my armour at the door, I couldn't move on without shedding my skin, I played your tug of war for so long, but you wouldn't let me in Someday you'll realize you wasted so much time, when you could have had the best love You could have had the best love

Break Me (free) 04:38
Oh you had me from the start, with one look you cut right through my heart I know you didn't realize, cause I'm good and I know how to hide You say I'm so strong that I'm like steel, cause I've been fighting so long, but these wounds won't heal I need you to take care, I need you to be kind, cause when it comes to you, you may be surprised That I am fragile, and I am weak If you wanted to you could break me Cause I am fragile and I am weak And if you wanted to you could break me When you look me in the eye, you've got me frozen, it's like I'm paralyzed I've always been so good with words But you get me, you hit me where it hurts You say I'm so strong that I'm like steel, cause I've been fighting so long, but these wounds won't heal I need you to take care, I need you to be kind, cause when it comes to you, you may be surprised That I am fragile, and I am weak If you wanted to you could break me Cause I am fragile and I am weak And if you wanted to you could break me Cause I am fragile and I am weak And if you wanted to you could break me Cause I am fragile and I am weak And if you wanted to you could break me Oh if you wanted to you could break me

Change 03:57
Why do we keep going round in circles, it's driving me crazy You scream at me calling me names then you turn around calling me baby I know it's confusing and it's such a shame We keep on losing it's more than a game What are we doing and what can we say We can't start over with so much at stake And all I ever wanted was someone to tell me everything would be alright I'm running out of reasons to stay and it kills me to have to say goodbye I can't live in the past holding onto things that have all slipped away Now I've gotta let go of what could have been This time I need a change Why do we do all these things to each other it's getting worse lately And even with each passing day I can feel it, you're starting to hate me I know it's confusing and it's such a shame We keep on losing it's more than a game What are we doing and what can we say We can't start over with so much at stake And all I ever wanted was someone to tell me everything would be alright I'm running out of reasons to stay and it kills me to have to say goodbye I can't live in the past holding onto things that have all slipped away Now I've gotta let go of what could have been This time I need a change I'm done with all the lies, something's gotta give And I'm not gonna cry, I'll get over it Cause all I ever wanted was someone to tell me everything would be alright I'm running out of reasons to stay and it kills me to have to say goodbye I can't live in the past holding onto things that have all slipped away Now I've gotta let go of what could have been This time I need a change

Off My Mind 04:17
I've gotta get you out of my system, I've gotta get you off of my mind But how do I move on when no one compares They only keep me occupied I've gotta break these chains that bind me, I try to shake them off so desperately But you pull them tighter, string me along It's sad but I'm so gone How do you do it, live with yourself And all of these games you play I should have seen through it right from the start But I chose to give it all away And now I'm sitting here broken hearted, Won't you come and give me a break Cause I've been waiting for so long For someone to rescue me And if you continue to pull my heart strings I don't think that I could survive So I've gotta get you out of my system I've gotta get you, off of my mind I've gotta find a new resolution, I've gotta clear some space in my heart Cause you drilled right through me, straight to the core But I keep coming back for more Oh, and how do you do it, live with yourself And all of these games you play I should have seen through it, right from the start But I chose to give it all away And now I'm, sitting here broken hearted Won't you come and give me a break Cause I've been waiting for so long For someone to rescue me And if you continue to pull my heart strings I don't think that I could survive So I've gotta get you out of my system I've gotta get you off of my mind So give me the key, unlock these chains you've wrapped me in Cause they're weighing me down Set me free, let me go Cause I wanna forget that I ever knew your name And I wanna erase all the memories,but mostly all the pain Oh how you haunt me, let me go Cause I've been sitting here broken hearted Won't you come and give me a break Cause I've been waiting for so long For someone to rescue me And if you continue to pull my heart strings I don't think that I could survive So I've gotta get you out of my system I've gotta get you off of my mind

Ours 04:33
I'm gonna clear away the dust that's settled, dry my eyes and pour a cup of coffee And as I go through all our photographs I find the strength to put the past behind me I walk through these empty rooms and wonder where we went wrong, once upon a time we had it all, but now it's long gone I'm packing boxes of memories, and with each one I feel more free I'll sift through the wreckage and I'll nurse my battle scars As I close the door for the last time on the house that was ours And I remember all the arguing our voices, they echo through the hallway And I can see you on your hands and knees your begging, though you know it's already too late I walk through these empty rooms and wonder where we went wrong, once upon a time we had it all, but now it's long gone I'm packing boxes of memories, and with each one I feel more free I'll sift through the wreckage and I'll nurse my battle scars As I close the door for the last time on the house that was ours One by one, I will pick up all the pieces, and time will heal this shattered heart and it will mend these broken dreams, and I'll be strong though on the inside I am crying, but so long to what we shared, I bet you thought I'd never leave, no I'm packing boxes of memories, and with each one I feel more free I'll sift through the wreckage and I'll nurse my battle scars As I close the door for the last time on the house that was ours I'll sift through the wreckage and I'll nurse my battle scars As I close the door for the last time on the house that was ours
