White 03:32
Breathe in I’ll exhale when I feel the wind inside of me And when no one is watching I will run ahead and dance in the sun I’m wishful in the summer I’m restless in spring I listen for luck in Autumn But winter is where I fall asleep Won’t you hold on I’m a character made out of glass I loose myself in fairy tales As I wander through the world Without a path I’ll never be an angel But sometimes I dress in white At times I pretend I’m perfect But my words always prove me wrong When they won’t come out right When all of my thoughts Bend to form these words It never gets easier To let you hear my world I’ll send it out tonight A whisper in your dreams I’ll never be an angel But tonight, I’ll dress in white

Shadows 05:11
You won’t feel the words from his lips As they travel through space They somehow always miss You’re much more comfortable in the silence You’re a ray of blue light An enigma in his consciousness Why do you want to be a star When the world is so dark It’s so easy to just fade in Your dreams they must falter with your innocence You’ve been captured by love You’ve been captured by all of your sin Chorus Fade into the sun to feel at ease Every breath you take Feels too intoxicating Your words are shadows to his ears There’s no way you can adhere to wishful days Not in your fears You won’t see the world in black and white When the colors are free There’s no reason to limit your sight When you fall apart your boundaries fall away You’re as careless as the wind You’re as careful as a broken heart Chorus You know You know when you shine You leave his world behind You’re a fire in the sea So leave Wait for another time Hold onto steady light When trust is only a dream Chorus

I've never known anything to be so easy I've always thought loving should be hard But now, your comfort swallows me whole Your comfort swallows me whole I'm pretty scared everything I know about love will haunt me I'll loose my faith, say this can't be real But for now I'll keep on drowning in your song I'll keep on drowning in your song And if I accept this I'll take it when I know I'm alright on my own And if I think I need you I'll run away so fast Leave no note when I'm gone I lie awake Face that we are lost and untamed in our own way I try to hide the fear that's in my bones But for now your words are leaving me unharmed Your words are leaving me unharmed If I could I'd take everything of myself And I'd toss out my fears for hope But I'll never love for my heart My mind always interferes My mind always interferes Leave no note when I'm gone

With a face like that you can walk into any bar And get a drink for free With a mouth like that you can say anything you want And people will believe I may not be as good-looking as you are But I can satisfy How many times do I have to call you up before you take me out? And it's true you're wearing me out wearing me out I want you To turn those eyes in my direction I've never had to chase anyone before Until you came along You need to cut that out and get off my mind So I can be alone Stop taunting me with your careless attitude Stop letting me hope that I could ever be with you

Lullaby 04:20
I don’t want to wonder about you About your life If you were happy by her side I don’t want to care If she could give you things that I would never dare If she could give you things that I would never dare I know, now you’re mine You seem far beyond my years It’s in your eyes The scars you wear A needled spine I’m a child by your side, I’ll never shine I’m a child by your side, I’ll never shine Ooh, You know it’s hard for me You find a way to help me breathe Ooh, Don’t make me leave your side I want to stay safe tonight You don’t seem to mind When I tell you things I’ve never let outside When I break, you burn my doubt And your eyes become the home I never felt Yes your eyes become the home I’ve never felt Ooh, You know it’s hard for me You find a way to help me breathe Ooh, Don’t make me leave your side I want to stay safe tonight And if I give myself to you freely Take time Cause I’m falling Cause I’m falling Ooh, You know it’s hard for me You find a way to help me breathe Ooh, Don’t make me leave your side I want to stay safe tonight Safe tonight

Sometime, in my meager 20 years of life I met I fell upon this Word defined by all as a feeling; an unreal thing When the earth begins to quake we seek shelter in a panic mode And the stars all seem unaligned We address our moral standing and we pray to whom we may above And we save all simple words for good byes How did I just let you go? I lost all hope in our love Life never seemed so unsure Until you were gone I feel a beating heart inside I face the pain I’ve caused myself I lost this word perceived by all as a feeling, an unreal thing I’d rather feel the fall of the trees Crashing in an open field Of the waves without the moon to lead them on And I face up to the clouds Shapes of anger flashing through And I save all hurtful phrases for good byes How did I just let you go? I lost all hope in our love Life never seemed so unsure Until you were gone I hear the door slam and my thoughts run But my feet don’t even leave the ground I hear a car engine, a gravel road Oh I hear what I have done How did I just let you go? I lost all hope in our love Life never seemed so unsure Until you were gone

If I give you my hand Will you walk with me? Even crowded city streets can leave me lonely My days get empty When you’re not with me When I sing by myself Will you stay with me Oh cause when the music ends It leaves me empty I have no heart beat When you’re not with me Won’t you call off the guard And take off your armor? I have no intention of leaving you torn and scarred For just one night won’t you lay down your shield and sword? If they turn out your light I will help guide you Even strength may need a hand My door is open I’m always hoping When you’re not with me Won’t you call off the guard And take off your armor? I have no intention of leaving you torn and scarred For just one night won’t you lay down your shield and sword? Nothing is ever sure But I can promise you I will be honest and true Put your hand in mine I will want no one else As long as I have you Won’t you call off the guard And take off your armor? I have no intention of leaving you torn and scarred For just one night won’t you lay down your shield and sword? For just one night, won’t you believe I’m yours?

Clearer 03:54
When the fire dies down When the flowers dry When the summer is gone And kites refuse to take flight Will your hand reach for mine Will your eyes… Continue to search for mine Will you call me when you wont be on time I’ll wait up for you at night Break my walls down To see everything clearer now And my bones tremble now At the sight of your perfect smile I’m holding it back Trying to hide from you that I’m terrified I’ve never had luck In letting my guard down I feel your different Will your eyes… Continue to search for mine Will you call me when you wont be on time I’ll wait up for you at night Break my walls down To see everything clearer now Keep me safe in your whisper I won’t run away for anything more The butterflies are keeping me still And I promise I will only be yours As long as you’ll have me And your eyes… Continue to search for mine Will you call me when you wont be on time I’ll wait up for you at night Break my walls down To see everything clearer now

The rain is falling And I am standing outside waiting for you to figure out That I am calling I'm understanding of why it takes so long to figure out Chorus: You're a million miles away and I'm waiting for the day that I am in your arms again I may have to wait a day, a month, a year But my love for you will never fade away I wish our love away I never believed that love could hurt so much until you broke into my life and now I'm torn I'm realizing that our two worlds may not be meant to touch Chorus: Bridge: Now I'm standing in the rain Waiting for our luck to change And my fears are taking shape I never believed anyone would have me this way I wish our love away Chorus:

My Own Way 02:55
Does anybody know of a train That’ll take me out of this town My feet are growing restless I’m not getting any younger Where they force me to the ground I find that I’m a wandering girl No matter what you can give me I’ll always be running around Don’t tell me To settle down To buckle up Follow roads that you have run I won’t be easy to restrain here In your sun Cause I don’t mind to fall apart Loose my eyesight in the dark If it’s a price I pay to find out my own damn way My actions run on passion Sometimes leading to disaster But you see you’re missing out Those moments when you feel so strongly Will be the ones you remember You chase to inspire your song Don’t tell me To settle down To buckle up Follow roads that you have run I won’t be easy to restrain here In your sun Cause I don’t mind to fall apart Loose my eyesight in the dark If it’s a price I pay to find out my own damn way This is the world I live in This is the way I hold my life You can love me hard or hardly fall in love with me at all I won’t make you listen Won’t make you stay by my side But if I find a star that makes my heart beat Don’t tell me To settle down To buckle up Follow roads that you have run I won’t be easy to restrain here In your sun Cause I don’t mind to fall apart Loose my eyesight in the dark If it’s a price I pay to find out my own damn way My own damn way My own way

When you leave me Will you think of me fondly When you leave me Will you say I’m beautiful Will you wish me well And hope that I’m happy somewhere down the road When you leave me If we grow apart Can we make it gracefully I don’t have the heart to deal with all the agony That comes with the fire Held in words Your words When you leave me Will you think of me fondly When you leave me Will you say I’m beautiful Will you wish me well And hope that I’m happy somewhere down the road When you leave me If I break your heart Please don’t yell at me I would never say “I loved you” If it wasn’t honestly Don’t tell me that I was ever untrue Maybe we just need to move on to something new When you leave me Will you think of me fondly When you leave me Will you say I’m beautiful Will you wish me well And hope that I’m happy somewhere down the road When you leave me I am not letting go (no I’m not letting go) In time we learn to let our hearts be ready for Train wrecks and fading away We all know It’s nothing new When you leave me Will you think of me fondly When you leave me Will you say I’m beautiful Will you wish me well And hope that I’m happy somewhere down the road When you leave me

You left my body broken You left my bed in such a hurry That I can’t even picture your face You left my words unspoken You had no time to see me cry And I feel So exposed All that time with you, stranger If you could Would you hold on tight again Or would you just say good bye In passing Would you smile again Or would I keep on being no one No, no one to you Maybe I’ll keep on being no one No one to you I thrive in moving spaces You had no right to leave me still When I feel so ashamed You left a candle burning You took no time to see me safe And I feel, so undone All that time with you, stranger If you could Would you hold on tight again Or would you just say good bye In passing Would you smile again Maybe I’ll keep on being no one No, no one to you Oh I’ll just keep on being no one No one to you You stole my pride You broke me down somehow I didn’t know you after all Spent so much time thinking it was all my fault But you were just cold You didn’t care If you left me broken
