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

New Flame
02:51
|
|||
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
|
|||
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)

Moving On
03:32
|

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
