Hi-Lo 03:53
I am here Do you see me? All of me Or just the parts That you want to see If you feel me You don't get to pick and choose no no If you love me Then you've got to ride my highs and lows I am gone Do you miss me? Hear my voice Within the void Where I used to be If you feel me You don't get to pick and choose no no If you love me Then you've got to ride my highs and lows I needed to take space to thrive It was time to say goodbye It's not easy to let go My broken heart is healing slow The hardest thing I'll ever do Has set me free to start anew If you feel me You don't get to pick and choose no no If you love me Then you've got to ride my highs and lows

Dreaming of the good times when We could get high and dance close Missing those good times when We were faded and happy, floating around Hot days and cold nights Campsites and bright lights Sweet sounds echo Strangers say hello, hello Dreaming of the good times when We could get high and dance close Missing those good times when We were faded and happy, floating around Chemistry fills the room A melody that makes you swoon Dancing souls become one Won't stop til we see the sun, the sun Dreaming of the good times when We could get high and dance close Missing those good times when We were faded and happy, floating around Carefree and fleeting Longing for that summer feeling Dreaming of the good times when We could get high and dance close Missing those good times when We were faded and happy, floating around

Heartbreaks 04:17
Deflecting blame is all you know how to do Own your mistakes before they own you The truth will come out yeah, it always finds away You're fading away with every lie you say You always look away Never never see the tears in my eyes Now when I see your face My heart breaks a little more little more Avoiding places where I might run into you I don't know what I'll say or what I'll do You didn't have the courage to tell me off to my face But my life is better now that you're never around You always look away Never never see the tears in my eyes Now when I see your face My heart breaks a little more little more

Hold your head high Don't look back It's a weird time To try and get back on track So many months have passed I never thought it'd last I don't recognize myself I used to thrive at night Now I see the morning light I guess I'll just settle in Hold your head high Don't look back It's a weird time To try and get back on track Embrace the solitude Change up my attitude Find a way to be okay I miss my friends each day Try to keep bad thoughts away But they creep in from time to time Hold your head high Don't look back It's a weird time To try and get back on track

You know what's right Cause you feel it, you feel it, you feel it all the time You know what's wrong Cause you see it, you see it, you've seen it all along Desensitized to all of the violence Traumatized all over again Mobilized by all of the silence Minimized for the last time You know what's right Cause you feel it, you feel it, you feel it all the time You know what's wrong Cause you see it, you see it, you've seen it all along Patronized by insecure people Villainized for speaking the truth Socialized to be complacent Energized to burn it all down Face what you're avoiding It won't go away so be brave The call is getting louder You hear the rumble All around

I don't know if I'm doing it right How do you tell if you're doing it wrong Every day I just get up and try, try I feel so tired it's hard to stay strong One step forward two steps back Round and round again One step forward two steps back Round and round again I think about it all day and night It's not healthy but I can't stop Just when I feel like I figured it out, out Suddenly I'm filled with doubt One step forward two steps back Round and round again One step forward two steps back Round and round again Just when you think you're on the right track Pulls you down again One step forward two steps back Round and round again

I had a dream I got everything I wanted Not what you'd think And if I'm being honest It might've been a nightmare To anyone who might care Thought I could fly So I stepped off the Golden Nobody cried Nobody even noticed I saw them standing right there Kinda thought they might care I had a dream I got everything I wanted But when I wake up, I see You with me And you say, "As long as I'm here No one can hurt you Don't wanna lie here But you can learn to If I could change The way that you see yourself You wouldn't wonder why you hear They don't deserve you" I tried to scream But my head was underwater They called me weak Like I'm not just somebody's daughter Coulda been a nightmare But it felt like they were right there And it feels like yesterday was a year ago But I don't wanna let anybody know 'Cause everybody wants something from me now And I don't wanna let 'em down I had a dream I got everything I wanted But when I wake up, I see You with me And you say, "As long as I'm here No one can hurt you Don't wanna lie here But you can learn to If I could change The way that you see yourself You wouldn't wonder why you hear They don't deserve you" If I knew it all then would I do it again? Would I do it again? If they knew what they said would go straight to my head What would they say instead? If I knew it all then would I do it again? Would I do it again? If they knew what they said would go straight to my head What would they say instead?

City's got me down I think it's time to leave People all around No room to breathe Looking for my place Where do I belong? Up in outer space I'm an alien You don't see me Living in the shadows But I can see you Cruising for the spotlight For all that you are Stealing my thunder And all I am worth Use me up and throw me away now Grinding to survive Feeling uninspired What's the point of being alive? If I'm always fucking tired You don't see me Living in the shadows But I can see you Cruising for the spotlight For all that you are Stealing my thunder And all I am worth Use me up and throw me away now

Gaslight 04:09
You gotta be earnest to earn my love Show me who you are and what you're made of I am who I am and that's enough I won't be ashamed for speaking up You lied like you always do How is it so easy for you? To throw people away Like we met yesterday Like we met yesterday You said "trust me, I got your back" I said what I felt and you got mad You lit the gaslight to burn me down I see through that, don't need you now Don't need you now You lied like you always do How is it so easy for you? To throw people away Like we met yesterday Like we met yesterday Cause it's your loss you know You really fucked up this time Pushing away those that carry you on You're a fool to leave it all behind you know What we had will not happen again, for you What we had will not happen again

Last Human 03:59
If we were the last humans on the earth Would you stay up all night with me And we could dance til the sun comes up And have a deep conversation By the light of the fire We get higher and higher The feeling is magic But reality's tragic So pour me another Let's get lost in each other This could be out last chance So let's get lost in the romance If we were the last humans on the earth Would you stay up all night with me And we could dance til the sun comes up And have a deep conversation Hold my hand in your hand Sink your feet into the sand Cause we're all that's left here There's nothing left to fear So say what's on your mind There's no reason left to hide This feeling that's so strong I have loved you for so long If we were the last humans on the earth Would you stay up all night with me And we could dance til the sun comes up And have a deep conversation

The End 04:16
I don't know what to say I don't know how to feel You make me wanna run away And hide what's real I know I told you this before But you don't wanna see But the way you're acting more and more It's hard on me Cause you Say you love me but you don't Show me love Cause you Say you love me but you don't Show me love I don't pick up your calls And I don't text you back Cause every time we try to talk It hurts too bad I don't wanna shut you out Or push you away But I feel like I might drown If I stay Cause you Say you love me but you don't Show me love Cause you Say you love me but you don't Show me love
