Hit & Run 04:02
Verse 1: Why did you leave me in the dark? This is another night I'm wasting on you Why would you waste your time Fooling me into something that's not true? And I'm here, I'm still waiting How can I know what to say When you vanish instead of pushing me away? Well I guess I'll never learn And I'll keep playing with your fire 'till I get burned My mind tells me to leave you alone But I can't bring myself to listen at all Chorus: I would've fought for you I would've died for you And I'm still waiting You made me fall for you Are you gonna save me too? Cause I'm still waiting I'm still broken From your hit and run Verse 2: I've spent countless nights Saying I must have not done something right Too many words left unsaid It's girls like you I'll never understand And I bet you're still sleeping Not giving a second thought about me [Chorus] Bridge: Are you the one that got away? Or just another pretty face? But I'll make the same mistake again and again Now I'm stuck in my own chase Blinded by my stubborn faith And it's too late to escape I'm still waiting, I'm still broken I'm still waiting, I'm still broken [Chorus] Outro: Why did you leave me in the dark? This is another night I'm wasting on you

Crossroads 03:10
Chorus: Give me something to do And I want something new to value I need some inspiration To cure my lack of motivation Verse 1: Looking for a way out From another rut Someone wake me up inside I'm tired of wasting time at home Bored and all alone Today I won't accept this empty feeling I'm gonna own the night Live it up tonight Ride along the street lights To anywhere but here [Chorus] Verse 2: I can't wait any longer for someone who Will never answer me 'Cause they're not worth my time And they're the one to blame For all my misery I'm gonna own the night And live it up tonight Waste away with pressure And live with my mistakes Bridge I've got nothing left to tell these crossroads They're really getting under my skin 'Cause I don't know where to go Outro: If there's anyone who's just like me I hope you understand me If there's anyone who's just like me I hope you understand me

Verse 1 Beautiful, who knew the first would be the last Time I'd get to talk to you? And why did it have, to end so fast Now I'm stuck living in the past I didn't know how you'd feel about me I was afraid and now I'll never know Chorus: 'Cause I hesitated and now I'm left with All these words I should've said There's nothing I can do but choke on them And live with this regret Just praying I'll see you one day Verse 2: How can I, just miss someone I never even got to know 'Cause I was sure I'd see you around But with my luck I find I'm never right Now I, I Have to live with this scar in my heart [Chorus] Bridge: You're the voice inside my head Over and over again You're the shadow still haunting me [Gabi Kennific] Do you only miss me now I'm gone Am I the reason that you're all alone Why didn't you do anything If I meant everything to you And maybe you'll see me one day With someone else you should've been And I, I Never think of you You hesitated and now you're left with All these words you should've said There's nothing you can do but choke on them And live with this regret Just praying you'll see me one day [Chorus] Outro: I,I never think of you But I, I always think of you

Shadow 03:44
Verse 1: Lately I've been thinking 'bout the story of us Remember back when they couldn't pull us apart? Don't you remember... The days when it was you and I against the world I never thought that you would be the one who turned I should've known 'Cause I guess our days flew by and you became a liar Your new friends will abide to torch this one with fire [Chorus] But you can't take what's mine to break It's been a long time now since I've seen you around This part of town And things have changed although you look the same You're just the shadow of someone I used to know From this part of town Verse 2: I think that I'll be fine living my life without Your new routines that I don't give a damn about Not anymore... So you can take your girlfriend and do what you want But understand that I'm no longer hanging on You're dead and gone 'Cause I guess your days flew by and I became forgotten And even when I tried you let her push me aside [Chorus] Bridge: I guess you forgot who stood by you And I forgot about myself But look at me now I don't need you around [Chorus] Outro: A long time ago A long time ago A long time ago A long time ago
5.
Verse 1: Here you are again messing around with my head And getting me to think about you in circles I'm overthinking again, caught up in all this small talk Even though you most likely don't care at all This is dangerous, too treacherous to see Can't let my guard down, when you're around me Chorus: I confess that I still think about you Every now and then When I'm lying down on my bed And I admit that every time I look at you Your green eyes cut as deep as a thousand glasses Verse 2: I know it's been a while, But still that same stupid smile Still gets me every time the way it used to And I get flashes of last November I doubt you'd even remember How much you brought me up before you Tore me down And it seems that time won't heal the broken-hearted And I'm willing to start over again But I sure as hell don't want to be your friend [Chorus] Bridge: Forgive me I can't pretend that everything is gonna be the same Forgive me I can't forget that I never wanted only this [Chorus] Outro: This is dangerous, too treacherous to see Can't let my guard down when you're around me
6.
Verse 1: I fell for the lies I didn't say goodbye I don't know why I stick around Keep coming back for more To a love full of thorns That I can't seem to let go And now my hands are bleeding I can't shake this feeling I know that you're leaving But why did you lock me inside Chorus: You pulled me in and ripped me out From my place of safe and sound I don't know what's right and I can't decide Do I get up and rebound Or wait for you to come around Verse 2: You got me paralyzed And even if I try I know I can't forget you And now the months have passed But still your photographs Never fade away like you did Now I'm slowly sinking Faltering and reeling So why fall in love If it can kill like this? [Chorus] Bridge: I'm sick of writing songs about you And staying up half past two With thoughts of you I can't fight 'Cause I'm still locked inside [Chorus]

Moonwalker 03:19
Verse 1: You were gone too soon Singing your heart out Your broken heart will be mend Walking the moon tonight While I'm here Moving my tassel I couldn't imagine this day Turning out this way Chorus: What's it like there? I'm running on empty down in here I didn't realize what I had Until the silence got to me Verse 2: I went to bed And turned the lights out Can you wake me up or tell me That I must be dreaming Waking up To the voices Reminding me that this is The harsh reality [Chorus] [Instrumental] [Chorus] Outro: And I can't do anything With the silence here with me I can't do anything
8.
Verse 1: Broken into pieces And feeling like the whole world is crashing down Searching for a reason To silence all the whispers from my doubts Chorus: Light a fire in my heart I'm so quick to fall apart Can I put myself together and Just pick up the pieces? I'm only broken Verse 2: They're counting me out again But they're not the only ones That I want to prove wrong It's been so damn long Since I've proven anything to myself I won't let them win Chorus 2: Light a fire in my heart I'm so quick to fall apart Can I put myself together and Just pick up the pieces? Turned my life upside down I keep falling to the ground But this time I'll get up again This won't be the end I'm only broken Bridge: Hanging on to pride Like a martyr cries as they clutch to their faith Don't give up the fight There's still a spark inside There will be another day Another day Another day Final Chorus: Light a fire in my heart I'm so quick to fall apart Can I put myself together and Just pick up the pieces? Turned my life upside down I keep falling to the ground But this time I'll get up again This won't be the end I'm only broken, not beaten.

Verse 1: I've been waiting, for my destiny Everyone says It's never meant to be But I know the difference between them and me It's that there the ones who'll stay the same Cause they'll never believe But destiny won't wait and there would be no one to blame Soon the world will know my name Even If I'm on my own Chorus: Look in my eyes, I will fight They're never gonna hold me down I will write my own life The end to my story I'm setting out to crash the gates I'm burning out in a storm of flames I'm going out on a twist of fate Verse 2: It seems like they gave up On their hopes and dreams They told me that dreaming Is nothing but a travesty But I don't live to be a walking casualty It's what sets me apart and makes me a minority And it's time to stop the wait Before it's way too late Soon the world will chant our names Even if we stand alone [Chorus] Bridge: I've been waiting for my destiny Everyone says it's never meant to be [Chorus]

Summer Air 03:23
Verse 1: Today is the first day I'm thinking about the memories and All the plans I've made To see familiar faces And live life like the fearless I'm sick and tired of looking out from here And getting locked inside All the restless nights With burnt out minds But not tonight Chorus: It's going down in this town I'm dreaming of what's out there I left my heart on these roads Nothing feels like home Time slows down and I feel alive Breathing in, this summer air Verse 2: For the first time in months I finally feel like I belong and The pessimist is gone I can finally see the light And all my shadows are far behind In the dawn of night All the city lights They feel just right I'll be home tonight [Chorus] Bridge: I think about the future all the time Everything is changing in front of my eyes But I hope this part Of us will never die [Chorus]
