If you want it all, baby
You gotta work for it
Ya you know it’s true, maybe
You’re just not there yet
I don’t wanna be lazy
Love me well or leave
You just wanna be carefree
I just wanna be seen
But you couldn’t take it
Did I make you fake it?
Why can’t you face it?
I held up a mirror
So you could see clearer
But you wouldn’t face it
That you’re not ready for love
Did I ask for too much?
Did I make you sweat?
But you said you loved me
I guess not when you’re upset
I don’t know why you won’t work it out
You shut right down
And there’s nothing left for me to do
I gotta walk away now
Cause you couldn’t take it
Did I make you fake it?
Why can’t you face it?
I held up a mirror
So you could see clearer
But you wouldn’t face it
That you’re not ready for love
There’s nothing I can do to change your mind
There’s nothing I can say to make it right this time
There’s nothing I can do to change your mind
So I choose myself but you can take your time
I’m in no rush cause I’m already fine
Ya I’m doing just fine
Ya I’m doing just fine
But you couldn’t take it
Did I make you fake it?
Why can’t you face it?
I held up a mirror
So you could see clearer
But you wouldn’t face it
That you’re not ready for love
That you’re not ready for love
That you’re not ready for love

Someone New

I've been thinking about
How you're tired of hearing me out
I’ll take my share of the blame
But it isn't really the same
When you walked away
When you walked away
Said I wanna be friends
But now I just can’t pretend
That I see you in a light
That isn’t all that bright
Dimmed by the things that you did
And the things that you didn’t do
You were so over it
And I wish that I would’ve known
That you just needed someone new
To tell you what to do
And when I hit the ground
You were nowhere to be found
I know I need to let it go
Because deep down I know
I'm worth more than I give
And you used me to live
You didn’t see me through
That wasn’t convenient for you
My darkest days
You wrote them off like a phase
And when I was reaching out
It was you that you cared about
And I learned the hard way
And when you learn in the hard way
Well it’s just like they say
And I wish that it wasn’t true
That you just needed someone new
To tell you what to do
And when I hit the ground
You were nowhere to be found
Because you just needed someone new
To tell you what to do
And when I hit the ground
You were nowhere to be found
I still wanna fight
I wanna stay up late at night
And ask if you feel the pain
And did it hit you the same
Because you just needed someone new
To tell you what to do
You just needed someone new
To tell you what to do
You just needed someone new
To tell you what to do
You just needed someone new
To tell you what to do

Backseat

I saw the colour right behind my eyes
Shadow people and lights in the sky
And when we’re kissing and we’re getting high
I breath it in and then I say goodbye
I wonder why I always try
I gotta live with no regrets until I die
And what’s the point of being afraid to feel
Isn’t that exactly what makes us real?
And I’m the one I’m waiting for
No I won’t be hanging by your door
Now I just want the best for me
So I break my heart and set it free
Blue sky, my tears dried with the wind in my hair
Clear eyes on a sunrise, I’ve got the keys
Ya I’ve got the keys
So throw your shit in the backseat
I think about who I wanna be
And when I wake up, I'm still in a dream
And now I wear it all on my sleeve
When everything feels so right to me
And when I’m living, you know I want it all
The big feelings, the ones that make us strong
Now I just want the best for me
So I break my heart and set it free
Blue sky, my tears dried with the wind in my hair
Clear eyes on a sunrise, I’ve got the keys
Ya I’ve got the keys
And I’m the one I’m waiting for
No I won’t be hanging by your door
Now I just want the best for me
So I break my heart and set it free
Blue sky, my tears dried with the wind in my hair
Clear eyes on a sunrise, I’ve got the keys
I’ve got the keys
Ya I’ve got the keys
I said I’ve got the keys
So throw your shit in the backseat

Why Not?

Anchor in the chaos
I’m tethered but finding my way
These are the five words they wanna hear you say
Don't worry I’ll be okay
You never ever showed up
Because I'm strong and brave
And when you felt guilty, you just turned the other way
Hoping it'll be okay
They say I’m the tough one
And I know it’s true
But that doesn't make it an excuse for you
Why not try a little harder
Why not take it one step farther
Don't kick off your boots
It’s too easy to
I’ve been let down in a million ways
From the things you said and didn't say
Now you're too embarrassed to
Look me in the eyes when I'm spending my time with you
They say I’m the tough one
And I know it’s true
But that doesn't make it an excuse for you
Why not try a little harder
Why not take it one step farther
Don't kick off your boots
It’s too easy to

Bad For You

It’s a hard pill to swallow
When nothing went the way that I planned
Still wanting to be smaller
To fit inside the palm of your hand
These days I'm getting taller
And I know what I can't stand
I'm sure you understand
I wanted to be gentle
And hold you up to the light
I wanted to be patient
But all we did was fight
And everyday now I’m wondering why
I'm sure you understand
Like I wasn’t, I wasn’t torn apart
But everyone’s bleeding heart
Cries for you
Let me guess, what a mess, then they say
That it must be true
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you
You say that you’re broken
Did I push too hard?
Was our love just a token
Of a life full of scars
These days I'm getting bolder
You won't catch me off guard
I'm sure you understand
Like I wasn’t, I wasn’t torn apart
But everyone’s bleeding heart
Cries for you
Let me guess, what a mess, then they say
That it must be true
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you
Now I know
Why I had to go
No I won’t hold on
No I won’t hold on
Like I wasn’t, I wasn’t torn apart
But everyone’s bleeding heart
Cries for you
Let me guess, what a mess, then they say
That it must be true
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you
That I made this bad for you

Meant For Me

I lost a lot of trust in myself
How could I not see I was hurting me
Brushed off every single time
You tried to love unconditionally
Now I’ve been blown open wide
And I’m afraid of what else I might see
And now is really not the time
To fight what is gonna be
I’m ready
To let go of what I know isn't meant for me
But I gotta stay open to feel what it’s really like to receive
What is meant for me
I’m reconciling with the past
I know these feelings won’t last
They come and go in waves
And I want the good ones to stay
So I name the best parts out loud
It’s foreign and it’s strange but I’m proud
To finally feel so free
And attuned and aligned
I’m ready
I’m ready
To let go of what I know isn't meant for me
But I gotta stay open to feel what it’s really like to receive
What is meant for me
I gotta let go of what I know isn't meant for me
But I gotta stay open to feel what it’s really like to receive
What is meant for me
