YOUR WAYS
Written by: Allison Whitman
I do all the right things.
Give you my best side.
But I guess that you don’t want me
If I’m too nice.
So how can I be cruel?
How can I make you beg
At my feet the way I do for you?
Always be here in your head?
(Teach me)
Chorus:
Teach me your ways
Tell me how to be enough
Should I stay away?
Cause you only want me when I run
The minutes turn to hours when we speak
I have shown I cared and ruined everything
—
I made room for you
When I felt our connection
With passion, I was through
But you became my one exception.
So where are you now?
The one who stayed even when I ran...
Now I’m slowing down
But you’re backing away. Guess I’ll catch you if I can
(Teach me)
(Chorus)
My reasons to believe
Wash away with the tide
But come back when I see
The fire in your eyes
(Chorus)

INSANITY
Written by: Allison Whitman
I suffer at the thought of you
But I can't let you go
Your smile leaves me black and blue
But your presence heals me, so
What am I supposed to do?
When this love breaks my heart
Rips my soul in two
And was doomed from the start
Chorus:
But I still love you
I still miss you here
Your presence consumes
Every piece of me
And oh I crave you
You bring me to my knees
What am I supposed to do
When this love's insanity?
(Yeah)
---
I break when I hear your voice
My world begins to crumble
Anything else is just white noise
As you slowly pull me under.
What am I supposed to do?
When it hurts to take a breath?
When it hurts to love you?
It hurts deep in my chest, but
(Chorus)
You're killing me
I said you're killing me
But you won't set me free
You let me go
Baby, you let me go
But you still light me up in smoke
(Chorus)

WEIGHTLESS
I think I like you just a little too much
My head is spinning just because our hands touched
And I try not to but I keep thinking of us
And what would've happened if I'd just said what I thought
I try to talk to you but my throat starts to close
I try to speak but on my words, yeah I just choke
I said with my eyes what I wanted you to know
But what would've happened if I'd done more than let it show?
Chorus:
Did you ever feel the same?
Did you catch the hints I gave?
I guess I'll never know
I thought I'd let this go
Do you wonder what we could've been?
Cause lately I think of the life we could've lived
But I guess I'll never, I'll never know
So I'll do what's right and let you go
But only if I can
---
I dreamed about you just a few nights ago
I dreamed I kissed you and I held you close
I couldn't help but wonder if I'll ever know
How it feels to make this dream come true
Now I'm not sleeping and I can barely breathe
Just the thought of you has made a mess of me
And when I look in your eyes, I wonder can you see?
Can you see?
Chorus:
Do you ever wonder what we could've been?
Cause lately I think of the life we could've lived
But I guess I'll never, I'll never know
So I'll do what's right and let you go
---
Meaningless
Powerless
But not when I'm with you.
I am weightless
Full of bliss
Things I will never admit to ...
Chorus:
Did you ever feel the same?
Did you catch the hints I gave?
I guess I'll never know.
I thought I'd let this go
But I don't think I can.

VILLAIN
I've lost all faith in you
It kills me that you make me sick
Hopeless is all I see in you
Every time you swear to me you'll quit
Don't say you just weren't thinking
That is always your excuse
Betrayal is as easy as breathing
At least when it comes to you
Chorus:
And I can't hold you anymore
You did this to yourself.
Held open your own door
With every single lie on your breath
So go ahead and hate me for walking out
I am not the villain here
---
Bridge:
Hate me for falling for
Falling for the light
As you drown in all your wasted nights
Verse 2:
And I had faith in you
I believed you would change
You swore to me a false truth
And then wandered astray
Dont say that you weren't thinking
That to blame you isnt fair.
You knew what you were doing
You just didn't care
(Chorus)

Unfair Game

UNFAIR GAME
I should stitch my lips shut
Cause every time I open my mouth
You steal every word from my tongue
Just go and shut me down
I should seal my eyes closed
Cause every time I see you for who you are
You take the role in another show
And you win their hearts
Chorus:
What an unfair game
I can see through you, I see what you won't show
I can read your poker face
Had the door locked shut but you found a window
Will you ever quit?
Or are you having too much fun to leave?
I guess you play to win
I guess one day you'll see the last of me
---
I should throw down all my cards
Cause every time I play the best
You play the ace of hearts
And make sure mine's torn from my chest
I should throw away the dice
Cause every time I let them roll
You catch me with your snake eyes
Cut me out, I'm all alone
(Chorus)
Will they ever see your hands around my neck?
The knife under the table pointed at my back?
Will they ever see past your lovely mask?
The evil smile that you hold back
[repeat]
(Chorus)

How did this happen to me?
Things were so normal before
It's like you've hit me with lightning
But I didn't know there was a storm.
Suddenly I can't keep it cool
Suddenly I can't think straight
Every time I look at you
My whole world starts to shake
Chorus:
And I can't say a word
How was it so easy before?
I've started to burn
I know we're friends but I want more
I want more, I want more, I want more
---
How did I get to this place?
Staring at you entranced, wide eyed
Across the room, meeting your gaze
Leaves me stunned and mesmerized
Suddenly I can't even think
Suddenly I forgot how to talk
And when you touch me
It hits me like a shock
(Chorus)
So suddenly
I'm knocked off my feet
Have I always felt this way?
It's hit me like a tidal wave
Can you see
The way you make me weak?
And tell me do you feel the same?
Come on, burn me like a dancing flame
(Chorus)

WITH YOU
Green eyes.
I'm lost.
Do I want to be found?
I've strayed from the path
but there's so much peace here.
Your smile.
I'm gone.
These thoughts I can't speak aloud.
They'll be looking for me soon
but I'd rather disappear
With you
Cause
Chorus:
I've never felt so free.
With you, I can simply be.
Yeah, I can, I can be me.
I don't have to pretend.
I can tear down these walls I've built.
I can, I can be me
I can, I can just be.
---
Your smile
Warms me.
I don't feel so alone.
It feels like it's been forever
since someone listened.
And time
it speeds.
I don't want it to go.
I wish it would slow down
every time I'm with you.
Cause with you...
(Chorus)
I know I shouldn't write these words
Who knows if they'll ever be heard?
But I have a feeling you hear what I can't say.
I haven't known you long
But I've torn down these walls
And let you in so I hope that you will stay
(Chorus)

BLEED
Can you feel me when I draw so close to you?
Lost in your eyes, and I am lost in every move...
You are a mystery, your heart holds such allure
And I can feel our chemistry, so why am I still unsure?
I never crossed the line and wouldn't unless you asked
But I won't push you for the fear that you’ll collapse
Chorus:
And it ain't love, but it's something just as sweet
You’ve got me by the heart, you’ve knocked me off my feet
And how bad I want to, want to be just what you need
And you don't have my heart, but you can make it bleed
—-
You are the dream I’m lost in with no hope to wake
You are the sea I drown in, but I don't fight the waves
If your arms were the bars, and your body was a cage
I would hope for life in prison with no means to escape
(Chorus)
