Ain't Weak to Speak 03:43

Memory like a goldfish I can’t help but forget your name Things’ll never look that different In the same clothes as yesterday How am I supposed to focus My thoughts are racing round my mind Heart is beating out my chest, but I thought that I was doing fine No sleep My dreams Haunting And I got too many problems To fix ‘em all in one day But if I don’t try to solve ‘em I’m only in my own way And though I’m asking for help now It doesn’t mean that I’m weak In fact I’m feeling much stronger Because it ain’t weak to speak Oh no it ain’t weak to speak Memory like a goldfish I’m always losing track of time Getting hard to leave the house now So some days I don’t even try I’ve been feeling this for years, but It’s real now it has a name Compare myself to all my friends, no It’s normal not to feel the same No sleep My dreams Haunting And I got too many problems To fix ‘em all in one day But if I don’t try to solve ‘em I’m only in my own way And though I’m asking for help now It doesn’t mean that I’m weak In fact I’m feeling much stronger Because it ain’t weak to speak Oh no it ain’t weak to speak And I got too many problems To fix ‘em all in one day But if I don’t try to solve ‘em I’m only in my own way And though I’m asking for help now It doesn’t mean that I’m weak In fact I’m feeling much stronger Because it ain’t weak to speak Oh no it ain’t weak to speak Memory like a goldfish I can’t help but forget

I got a new flame and she burns so bright She keeps me warm all through the night I know the sound of her body on my sheets Mmm she's so good to me And I said mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmm she's so good to me And when she tells me that she loves me so It takes me somewhere that I wanna go I get some kind of feeling when she touches me Mmm I'm never gonna leave And I said mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmm she's so good to me Baby, I've never felt this kind of love Never realised I was missing Something I'd been dreaming of Baby, seems like nothing's in our way Ain't no rain that's gonna put out my new flame My baby never lets me down She lifts me up when she's around She knows just how to put my mind at ease Mmm she's so good to me And when my baby sets her mind There ain't nothing gonna waste her time I'm gonna treat her right cos she's my queen Mmm I'm never gonna leave And I said mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmm she's so good to me Baby, I've never felt this kind of love Never realised I was missing Something I'd been dreaming of Baby, seems like nothing's in our way Ain't no rain that's gonna put out my new flame Baby, it just gets better every day Ain’t no rain that’s gonna put out my new flame There ain’t no rain that’s gonna put out my new flame

Messing You Up 02:55

Far away from feeling the same Words escape me now Who’s to blame when the feeling fades I’ve let you down You pull me closer But I'm pulling over Gotta put a hold on this You hold me tighter While I’m trying to fight ya No I don’t think this is it I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about us ‘Cause you keep missing me but I keep messing you up And I don't know what to say when you tell me that you're in love ‘Cause you keep missing me but I keep messing you up Seeing things much clearer today You know we're not fine Who’s to say that love don’t change I’m losing time We were floating once But now we're going under Both aboard this sinking ship We’re taking water When we cant afford to No I must set you adrift I keep trying to figure out how I feel about us ‘Cause you’re still breathing me in while I'm breathing you out And I don't know what to say when you tell me that I’m enough ‘Cause you're still breathing me in while I'm breathing you out You’re trying to hold on But my feet are cold and Our shoes don’t seem to fit You're trying to save it But I'm suffocating Now I think it's time to quit I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about us (Ooh, I’m still trying) ‘Cause you keep missing me but I keep messing you up (I keep messing you up) And I don't know what to say when you tell me that you're in love (Oh, when you tell me) ‘Cause you keep missing me but I keep messing you up Yeah you keep missing me but I keep messing you up

Hard to Pretend 03:10
lyrics

Well I’m stuck in a rut and I’m feeling down What do I do, can I make a sound? I don’t know what I’m feeling now This is new, and I’m swallowed up, in the crowd Will somebody please let me out I’m in my head and it’s too loud, right now Sink or swim, baby I might drown Sick of feeling this way and It’s so hard to pretend It’s all good in my head I’m trying not to let it show I’m lying to my friends I know It’s so hard to pretend So I, stay inside and I lock the door Don’t wanna face the world anymore Hideaway cos I’m not sure How to handle the clouds cos when it rains it pours, and I try to leave but I’m feeling raw, so I I cover up, it’s the only way to weather the storm To stay alive baby I want more Sick of feeling this way and It’s so hard to pretend It’s all good in my head I’m trying not to let it show I’m lying to my friends I know It’s so hard to pretend (So hard, so hard to pretend, so hard) It’s all good in my head (All good, all good in my head, all good) I’m trying not to let it show (Trying, trying not to let, trying) I’m lying to my friends I know (Lying, lying to my friends, lying) Maybe the vampires got it right ‘Cause I’ve been hiding from the light But I don’t wanna have to anymore Somebody please let me out I’m in my head and it’s too loud, right now Sink or swim, baby I might drown It’s so hard to pretend (So hard, so hard to pretend, so hard) It’s all good in my head (All good, all good in my head, all good) I’m trying not to let it show (Trying, trying not to let, trying) I’m lying to my friends I know (Lying, lying to my friends, lying) It’s so hard to pretend (So hard, so hard to pretend, so hard) It’s all good in my head (All good, all good in my head, all good) I’m trying not to let it show (Trying, trying not to let, trying) I’m lying to my friends I know (Lying, lying to my friends, lying) (So hard, so hard to pretend, so hard)

Well I know we looked good together But now we're apart, we're both looking better I ain't seen you since that night But I know that how it ended was right I'm moving on You're moving on We're moving on, oh yeah We're moving on Now I heard from your brother That you went and found yourself a new lover Well I hope they treat you right Because you deserve good love in your life I'm moving on You're moving on We're moving on, oh yeah We're moving on Well I went back to square one Love myself, then I can make room for someone And I know, this much is true That I deserve to be happy too I'm moving on You're moving on We're moving on, oh yeah We're moving on

Up and Not Just Onward 03:28

I've been going down the same old road Waiting for a sign that things'll change And I've been floating but it's time for me to go I've gotta find a way to change my fate I wanna go up and not just onward I wanna go through not just pass by I wanna feel the rush of something new tonight I wanna feel something more than nothing I wanna be worthy of this life I wanna do the things they told me not to try Not to try I've been hurting from cuts that run so deep Trying to do the right thing so they mend And I've been working, but the hours that I keep Are causing me to constantly defend I wanna go up and not just onward I wanna go through not just pass by I wanna feel the rush of something new tonight I wanna feel something more than nothing I wanna be worthy of this life I wanna do the things they told me not to try Not to try Not to try I wanna go up and not just onward I wanna go through not just pass by I wanna feel the rush of something new tonight I wanna feel something more than nothing I wanna be worthy of this life I wanna do the things they told me not to try Not to try
