All Out Of Words 03:45
lyrics
buy track
All Out Of Words It feels different this time I let down my guard I finally embraced the thought of you And already loved you with all my heart I know it makes you feel sad I hate those tears in your eyes I wanna tell you I'm fine and it'll be okay But I'm all out of words And I can tell that it hurts you to see me like this with my hands in the air I surrender, this pain just knocks me down It's not summer yet You came too soon What made you give up? Was there anything I could do...? I know it makes you feel sad I hate those tears in your eyes I wanna tell you I'm fine and it'll be okay But I'm all out of words And I can tell that it hurts you to see me like this with my hands in the air I surrender, this pain just knocks me down I don't like my heartbeat without yours I think I'm a fighter But I just don't know how to go on... See I'm all out of words And I can tell that it hurts you to see me like this with my hands in the air I surrender, this grieve: it floors me this pain just knocks me down

Gonna Choose Me 02:50
lyrics

Gonna Choose Me I catch myself checking my phone Every five minutes To see if you have found the time To text me back I never used to be this way I was the cool, together girl Yet here I am, in your hands I have to remind myself That you don’t get to decide if I’m happy You do not determine my self-worth You do not control the way I feel I like you but I’m gonna choose me I think about you all the time I’m at your service Hoping you’ll see how great I am And that you’ll call me Well I never thought I’d get this way I was the independent girl Now I’m reduced to a shadow of me Reflected in your eyes But you don’t get to decide if I’m happy You do not determine my self-worth You do not control the way I feel I like you but I’m gonna choose me Too many hours I’ve wasted Waiting to be seen I gave you all the power But now it’s clear to me: That you don’t get to decide if I’m happy You do not determine my self-worth You do not control the way I feel I like you but I’m gonna choose me

Pieces Of Me 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Same old story; I’m causing an earthquake And hide my head in the sand ‘Not to worry, it’s all under control here’ But then why am I this drawn to the piano..? It’s here, here, here Where I find hidden pieces of me “You are not weird at all”, you said “This is just how everybody feels sometimes.” I wonder what you ‘d say if you could see in my head Would you still smile…? Picture perfect, but I’m closing doors again Keeping me to myself This confusion feels scaringly familiar Nothing different, just disguising this storm inside Here, here, here Where I find secret pieces of me “You are not weird at all”, you said “This is just how everybody feels sometimes.” I wonder what you ‘d say if you could see in my head Would you still smile…? You move me… Why can’t I stand still..? You move me… Why can’t I stand still..? “You are not weird at all”, you said “This is just how everybody feels sometimes.” I wonder what you ‘d say if you could see in my head Would you still smile…?

Your Lack Of Sleep 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Your Lack Of Sleep Out of the blue the whole thing changed A new side of you, closed-down face Strange how you made this all about me I guess I suffer from your lack of sleep But it's fine by me You just see what you see And this world you live in had a great new taste But will never be mine I'm along for the ride but you hold the wheel Comfortably hazy sight, right now is all that I feel How you turned into ice in the blink of an eye Your words like a knife, before I could wonder why But well it's fine by me You just see what you see And this world you live in had a great new taste But will never be mine Oh my, what's wrong with you?! But it's fine by me You just see what you see And this world you live in had a great new taste But will never be mine

Unfinished Unsent 04:21
lyrics

Unfinished Unsent I am not the kind That gives up easily When I believe it's right I give it all of me But enough's enough When it's plain to see That you decided that you have no room for me And what we said What we shared What we did Doesn't matter Anymore And we tell ourselves it's better And ignore The unfinished unsent letter That we are What we recognized in each other's eyes familiartity Like I'd known you all my life And you seemed so brave figuring yourself out How you let me in And then you phased me out And what we said What we shared What we did Doesn't matter Anymore And we tell ourselves it's better And ignore The unfinished unsent letter That we are... ... to me But I'll let go And what we said What we shared What we did Doesn't matter Anymore And we tell ourselves it's better And ignore The unfinished unsent letter That we are

Warm Waves 02:55
lyrics

Warm Waves No lights, no word, no worries Just now, just here is all I want to know Eyes closed, hands up, I'm free falling I go, I just go No sense of time, I don't care Just one more drink; I don't wanna go home I'm here, I'm bored, I'm restless Let's go, let's go I pretend to be a lot of things And I have no idea who I am now But it feels good just not to feel sad things In these warm waves that take me away 'Cause no way, this won't be my world It's too sad, too bad; I wanna feel alive And I like the way you see me there's no tomorrow I pretend to be a lot of things And I have no idea who I am now But it feels good just not to feel sad things In these warm waves that take me away If I feel nothing I have nothing to lose If nothing really means anything in the end, Why would I care...? So no lights, no words, no worries Just here, just now, is all I want to know I pretend to be a lot of things And I have no idea who I am now But it feels good just not to feel sad things In these warm waves that take me away

Take Your Hand 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Take your hand Here, far away from everything where no one can hear me sing is where the words just seem to pour out of my heart And now, when there’s nothing left to lose it’s so much easier to choose what is right to do for everone else I couldn’t find the time To honestly be fine There’re always reasons not to go inside I couldn’t find the words To tell you where it hurts And let you close enough to touch my heart This isn't easy for me I’m trying hard to break free Old habits die hard and I know I’m headstrong but I will take your hand this time Years of pretending to be strong Surely nothing was ever wrong When I obviously needed a shoulder Alone, feeling like I don’t belong Always leaving everyone Who was trying just to love all of me… I couldn’t find a way To trust the words you’d say I’d roll my eyes and fight you ‘til you’d give up But this isn't easy for me I’m trying hard to break free Old habits die hard and I know I’m headstrong but I will take your hand this time I won’t push you away This isn't easy for me I’m trying hard to break free Old habits die hard and I know I’m headstrong but I will take your hand this time

Sunlight Ahead 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Sunlight ahead It's barely noticable but I am sure The light is already changing It's unexpainable but I can tell The bird's songs sound different It's in the smallest things, easily overlooked but everywhere around me My feet are freezing cold but my heart it warm And I can feel it beating again Bye bye dark days Enough is enough I made it through your maze And I see sunlight ahead It's indescribable, the way it makes me smile: The beauty of the first snowdrops It's unbelievable how they just find their way Growing towards the light again Bye bye dark days Enough is enough I made it through your maze And I see... Sunlight from head to toe It shines, it glows Bye bye dark days Enough is enough I made it through your maze And I see sunlight ahead

Between The Lines 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Between the lines It’s a beautiful morning, I know But I want to stare out my window Without happy people holding hands looking my way all the time I’m thirsty for water Under the bridge But all I can see is this road and I keep on missing my exits Between the lines is where I can hide Cause what do you do, when nothing makes sense? What do you say when everything’s already said? Stop looking at me, there’s nothing to see Just pieces of what I am supposed to be I’m tired and I’m restless And there is so much to do But I am too busy trying not to be angry with you My hands do not shake at all Or maybe a bit I breathe in and breathe out, it’s okay, as long as I look at the grid Between the lines is where I can hide Cause what do you do, when nothing makes sense? What do you say when everything’s already said? Stop looking at me, there’s nothing to see Just pieces of what I am supposed to be

Scared Of Me 01:36
lyrics

Scared Of Me Why can't I be more like you? Feel love like you do and believe it is true? Why can't I have both feet in? Arms open wide and let you in? But see... I'm scared of me Why can't my heart be like yours? Not wondering if it shouldn't feel more? Why can't I just take your hand? Be yours and be happy right where I am? I can't believe I am still scared of me...
