"Briane"

"Briane"


You’re ashamed about
all your fears and doubts
and how I hurt you.
Can you make it back from the aftermath
And how I left you

Nobody wants to be alone,
with the fear of letting go.
If you could hear me say
It`s gonna be okay
would you be okay

And though I`ve gone away
I still see what youre going through.
It kills me everyday,
to know I killed what meant most to you.
So when you pass my grave,
leave a rose for what might have been.
But know that it`s okay
to shed your fears and find love again

For better or worse you`re the one,
I never thought I`d hurt
But looking back on these dreams
nothing is what it seems;
…know that you`ll wake up to better things

And though I`ve gone away
I still see what you`re going through.
It kills me everyday,
to know I killed what meant most to you.
So when you pass my grave,
leave a rose for what might have been.
But know that it`s okay
to shed your fears and find love again

I hear you say
I don`t know how and I don`t know why
but there will come one day
when I will tell you all the things inside.
Just know theres someone above you to help you!

And though I`ve gone away
I still see what you`re going through.
It kills me everyday,
to know I killed what meant most to you.
So when you pass my grave,
leave a rose for what might have been.
But know that it`s okay
to shed your fears and find love again

"Broken Angel"

"Broken Angel"


You showed him all the best of you
But I'm afraid your best
Wasn't good enough
And know he never wanted you
At least not the way
You wanted yourself to be loved
And you feel like you were a mistake
He's not worth all those tears that won't go away

I wish you could see that
Still you try to impress him
But he never will listen

Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams
Oh broken angel
Inside you're dying 'cause you can't believe

And now you've grown up
With this notion that you were to blame
And you seem so strong sometimes
But I know that you still feel the same
As that little girl who shined like an angel
Even after his lazy heart put you through hell

I wish you could see that
Still you try to impress him
But he never will listen

Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams?
Oh broken angel
Inside you're dying 'cause you can't believe
He would leave you alone
And leave you so cold
When you were his daughter
But the blood in your veins
As you carry his name
Turns thinner than water
You're just a broken angel

And I promise that it's not your fault
It was never your fault
And I promise that it's not your fault
It was never your fault...

Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he crushed all your dreams?
Oh broken angel
Inside you're dying 'cause you can't believe
He would leave you alone
And leave you so cold
When you were his daughter
But the blood in your veins
As you carry his name
Turns thinner than water
You're just a broken angel

And I promise that it's not your fault
It was never your fault
And I promise that it's not your fault
It was never your fault

"Castle On The Hill"
(originally by Ed Sheeran)

"Castle On The Hill"
(originally by Ed Sheeran)



When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I

Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
And I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
I was younger then, take me back to when

We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
But I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home

And I'm on my way, I still remember
These old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

"Change Your Mind"

"Change Your Mind"


There you are with your perfect way
You’ve got that little shine in your eyes
To hear one word would make my day
But there’s no room for me in your life

Oh you’ve got me down on my knees
Oh and in my mind I can see
How perfect everything could be
But you won’t give us a try

If I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
Cause I need you now

I try to move on but your perfect way
Has got this little child asking why
But this world keeps spinning
As my heart stops beating
Is there still no room inside

Oh you’ve got me down on my knees
Oh and in my mind I can see
How perfect everything could be
But you won’t give us a try

If I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
Cause I need you now

If I could change your mind
(Please tell me I’m not the only one)
(Please help me believe I’m not the only one)

If I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
Cause I need you now

If I could change your mind
How would you hold me
Would you stay forever
Or just leave me here to drown

If I could change your mind
(Change your mind)
If I could change your mind
(Change your mind)

"Chasing Cars"
(originally by Snow Patrol)

"Chasing Cars"
(originally by Snow Patrol)



We'll do it all everything on our own
We don't need anything or anyone

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

Let's waste time chasing cars around our head

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world
Forget what we're told before we get too old
Just show me a garden that's burstin' into life

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

"Cheap Thrills"

Come on, come on, turn the radio on
It's Friday and it won't be long
Gotta check my phone, put my white vans on
It's Friday night and it won't be long

Til I hit the dance floor
Hit the dance floor

No I ain't got cash

But I got you baby

Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
But I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I keep dancing

Come on, come on, turn the radio on
It's Saturday and it won't be long
Gotta grab my keys and put my game face on
It's Saturday and it won't be long

Til I hit the dance floor
Hit the dance floor
I got all I need
No I ain't got cash

But I got you baby

Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
But I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I keep dancing

"Cinderella"

"Cinderella"


When life's a mystery
Then take the road less traveled
And pave the way for someone else

Your tracks will set you free
Even if the road unravel
The path was always in yourself

So take the reins and hem the seams
And all your hopes and tattered dreams
And paint a world where there's no need to cry, cry

Be yourself Cinderella
(Oh, be yourself)
‘cause no one else could do it better
(Oh, be yourself)
And when that clock strikes midnight
Even if those kicks don't feel right
I'll stand by you forever
So be yourself Cinderella
Just be yourself Cinderella

No time for childish ways
Or so you say in sorrow
The fairy tale was just another lie
But all your yesterdays will soon reveal tomorrow
You'll have your once upon a time

Just take the reins and hem the seams
And all your hopes and tattered dreams
And paint a world where there's no need to cry, cry

Be yourself Cinderella
(Oh, be yourself)
'cause no one else could do it better
(Oh, be yourself)
And when that clock strikes midnight
Even if those kicks don't feel right
I'll stand by you forever
So be yourself Cinderella

Through the years and the tears that you've cried
Oh, be yourself
Through the doubt from a love you've been denied
Oh, be yourself
And you could chase down someone else's bliss
But the beauty is that you are who you are.

Be yourself Cinderella
'cause no one else could do it better
And when that clock strikes midnight
Even if those kicks don't feel right
I'll stand by you forever
So be yourself Cinderella
Just be yourself Cinderella
I'll stand, I'll stand by you forever
So be yourself Cinderella

"Closer"
(originally by Ne-Yo)



Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Telling me that she wants
To own me, to control me

Come closer, come closer

And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop

I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
She's the sweetest taste I've seen
The more I get, the more I want
She wants to own me

Come closer
She says "Come Closer"

And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop

I just can't stop, oh no
I just can't stop, oh no no
I just can't stop, oh no
But I just can't stop

I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop

And I just can't bring myself no way,
But I don't want to escape,
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I just can't stop, yeah

Come Closer

"Coming Home"
(feat. DeStorm)

"Coming Home"
(feat. DeStorm)



I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the World that I'm coming

Back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong
(I'm back baby)
I feel like there's nothing that I can't try
And if you with me put your hands high
(Put your hands high)
If you ever lost a light before, this ones for you
And you, the dreams are for you
I hear "The Tears of a Clown"
I hate that song
I feel like they talking to me when it comes on
Another day another Dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math I'm gone
What am I 'posed to do when the club lights come on
It's easy to be Puff, it's harder to be Sean
What if the twins ask why I ain't marry their mom (why, damn!)
How do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown
Shit! But I ain't finished growing
Another night the inevitable prolongs
Another day another Dawn
Just tell Taneka and Taresha I'll be better in the morn'
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong

"A house is Not a Home", I hate this song
Is a house really a home when your loved ones are gone
And niggas got the nerve to blame you for it
And you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it
But you felt it and still feel it
And money can't make up for it or conceal it
But you deal with it and you keep ballin'
Pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin'
Baby we've been living in sin 'cause we've been really in love
But we've been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your home
Pick up your phone, come on

"Ain't No Stopping Us Now", I love that song
Whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
We back cruising through Harlem, Viso blocks
It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away than embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah it's been a long time coming
Lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles
Lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
Made it back, lost my dog (I miss you BIG)
And here I stand, a better man! (a better man)
Thank you Lord (Thank you Lord)

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing

‘Cause I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh (Oh, Oh) [2x]
Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh [2x]

I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Take that money
Watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing

‘Cause I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh (Oh, Oh) [2x]
Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh [2x]

[Bridge 3x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Take that money
Watch it burn

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh [2x]
Well, that's not fair
Oooh, Oooh [2x]

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
