Good Things 04:08
They say good things come to those who wait Well I've been waiting here for eternity See those good things never came my way Oh and they left me alone while I waited so patiently Everything will work itself out In due time I know that's always true But right now I am filled with all this doubt Oh and was there a love between me and you Oh no you can't let me go like that Oh this had to mean something And oh damn you just let me go like that Singing this didn't mean a thing This didn't mean a thing to you yeah You say good things come to those who wait Maybe in your own reality Because in mine you were running for the gate You left me alone before I entered a plea Oh no you can't let me go like that Oh this had to mean something And oh damn you just let me go like that Singing this didn't mean a thing This didn't mean a thing to you yeah I tried for so long, I tried to me strong I tried for so long, I tried, I tried to me strong Oh no you can't let me go like that Oh well this had to mean something And oh damn you just let me go like that Screaming this didn't mean a thing This didn't mean a thing to you yeah It didn't mean a thing to you So where are my good, good, good, good things

Serenity 04:15
Spaces that I fill My mind with desire Hopeful that will Is stronger than fire They flame is my name For who I'm supposed to be So justify the blame Just for some serenity Serenity I struggle to confine One place at one time And I know just what is mine Well I refuse to see the lines If shame is the game For who I'm supposed to be Identify the claim Just for some serenity Serenity

Bad People 03:32
Go on and use me Until you can't get enough 'Cause I've got plenty Ooo of that lovin' stuff Hell I've been up and down I'm always waiting' around For someone And that someone is you Well I've been had, had, had, had Lord I've been abused And I've been sad, sad, sad, sad Lord I've got the blues And I have never met someone As messed up as you You better get gone Oh get gone with it yeah Oh you are searchin' For your lost soul Yeah you are lookin' For someone to control Quit lookin' at me With those dark eyes You're comin' after me That beauty is your disguise And now I see who you are No I'm not your fool You better get gone Ah get gone with it Yeah yeah yeah Get gone with it now baby

My so-called friends well they don't know me They only come around to talk shit and waste all my good energy Lately these days I've been noticing who's surrounds; People that don't care for me and never knew what I was about Everyone has there place in my life this I know Some of them are lessons that have helped me grow Some things I will go through again, and again, and again So I guess I'll find out who are my so-called friends My so-called friends I don't think they understand They're always telling me they'll be here whenever I need a helping hand But whenever I call them they are nowhere to be found Well I guess when their tree falls, they'll be the only one to hit the cold ground Everyone has there place in my life this I know Some of them are lessons that have helped me grow Some things I will go through again, and again, and again But I guess I'll find out by the end All I ever wanted was a buddy That could be my friend and remain No I never wanna use somebody I just expected the same All I ever really wanted was a buddy That knew more than my first name But I guess I'm finding out Who are my so-called My so-called friend My so-called friends well they lost out on me You know they should've known better than to take for granted this company Sadly I knew this would happen all along All I can say is thank you for helping me to write this song Everyone has there place in my life this I know Some of them are lessons that have helped me grow Some people I'll go through again, and again, and again But I guess found who are my so called friends

Crash 04:10
(Verse 1) Oh darling it must be rough Giving all yourself But never enough To get what you need To the places you dream One day, one day You'll be free (Verse 2) Oh darling It must be hard Selling your soul Just to be a star But it's killing me Just to watch you bleed One day, one day You'll be free (Chorus) Crash, crash on me And I'll show, show you What you can be When you're crying, cry on me One day, one day, one day I'm gonna set you free (Verse 3) Oh darling You'd give anything Just to be on the radio Or a TV screen The American Idol The American dream One day, one day You'll be free (Chorus) (Verse 4) Wait There's another way If you just hold on For the brighter days So get off your knees Stop begging please Cause today is your day That you'll be free yeah (Chorus)

Heartbeat 04:51
At the slight of hand I lose my faith The sun can no longer show me the way Do I believe in the words of someone else Or do I believe in… why don't I think for myself Yes, won't you think about it Yes, you better think about it In a big black book with golden edges You never gave you took, you'll go down a legend Can you believe, can you conceive This catastrophe and the world is bleeding You know I'm waiting on a heartbeat A heartbeat, a heartbeat, a heartbeat Whoa I was waiting for me Well and it took me low, further than I'd like to go I lost myself and everything I've known Well I couldn't dream that this could be me Somebody shake me so I can wake up, wake up You know I'm waiting on a heartbeat A heartbeat, a heartbeat, a heartbeat Oh I was waiting for me You know I'm waiting on a heartbeat A heartbeat, a heartbeat, a heartbeat Whoa I was waiting for me Well I was waiting for me I'm always waiting for me Is reality a duality Is the world really black and white Or are the lessons I choose how I win of lose Learn on my own the difference between wrong and right You know I'm waiting on a heartbeat A heartbeat, a heartbeat, a heartbeat Oh I was waiting for me You know I'm waiting on a heartbeat A heartbeat, a heartbeat, a heartbeat Whoa I was waiting for me Well I was waiting for me I'm always waiting for me I gotta let it be

I see that my hands, my hands are tied And I know it was me, me who has lied The truth holds water that I cannot bear Take me out, out of my head Make me lay down, down in this bed I fear what I, I cannot feel By now love seems like it’s not so real But my heart does not, not seem to care What is here and what is there What I can have and what is unfair I will define just what is despair By the end of this, the end of this…

Walls 04:55
You will never admit that you want me You will never admit that you care You will never convince yourself you need me You will never admit that you’re scared Oh ‘cause I’ve got your, your confession Whispered in my ear And I’ve got your deception Narrowed down to fear So hold on to your walls as long as you can ‘Cause I'm breakin’ them down with this fiery in hand So hold on to your love as strong as you can ‘Cause I’m coming for you next You better be, you better be careful where you stand You will admit that you’re crazy You will never admit that you wasted time You will never convince yourself completely You will never admit that you never tried ‘Cause I’ve captured the deepest essence of you And I’m holding your heart and there is Nothing you can do Oh there is nothing you can do So hold on to your walls as long as you can ‘Cause I'm breakin’ them down with this fiery in hand So hold on to your love as strong as you can ‘Cause I’m coming for you next You better be, you better be ‘Cause I’m coming you next You better be, you better be careful where you stand Oh ‘cause I’ve got your, your confession Whispered in my ear And I’ve got your deception Narrowed down to fear So hold on to your walls as long as you can ‘Cause I'm breakin’ them down with this fiery in hand So hold on to your love as strong as you can ‘Cause I’m coming for you next You better be, you better be ‘Cause I’m coming you next You better be, you better be careful where you stand

Colors 03:59
She dreams in colors Of places far away She sees in silver A shinier tint of gray You see, It's easier to dream Of those brighter days Oh and it's so much lesser of an extreme So she stays in a haze He keeps it so strong So no one else will see Oh just what is wrong It's all a mystery So if you tell them not to look Oh and they never will, never will, never will I can read you just like a book And I know just how you feel I know how you feel So you don't wanna be saved And I can see why 'Cause depending on others Is depending on lies Oh and we, we all need Someone in our lives And I could be that someone If you'd realize If you'd realize
