Carefully

maybe I gave you too much
I'm always giving too much
pouring out my heart like a heavy cup
my intentions were good
but misunderstood
but now I'm scared you're giving me up
and I don't want to talk about it
cause you'd think that I care
why must I make such a mess
of anything we share?
it's not you, it's me
my form of generosity
but now I realize you weren't ready
it's not you, it's me
my form of generosity
I should've thought this through a little more carefully
so I scared you?
gave you the wrong impression
made it seem special with something that I said
or was it the way I held you
in the morning
counting the freckles on your shoulder blades
and I don't want to talk about it
cause you'd think that I care
why must I make such a mess
of anything we share?
it's not you, it's me
my form of generosity
but now I realize you weren't ready
it's not you, it's me
my form of generosity
I should've thought this through a little more carefully
our innoncence lost is a secret we keep hidden
pretending we don't know the taste
of when we melt together into the night
but can we keep it
can we keep it?
it's not you, it's me
my form of generosity
but now I realize you weren't ready
it's not you, it's me
my form of generosity
I should've thought this through a little more carefully

I don't mind
03:49
|

I see you look me up & down
I don't mind, I don't mind
you watch me dance on tabletops
and offer me another round
I'm a lil tipsy tonight
looking good, moving right
sippin whisky cola lime
just wanna have a good time
pretty boy you catch my eye
moving closer can't deny
the air's electric as we dance
I know I wanna take a chance
we're still so young and I feel so high
ask me for a drink outside
say you'll take me for a ride
you got yourself a new car
& now you're waiting for my green light
tugging at my skin-tight jeans
i'm not sure what you mean
when you're giving me that glance...
I just wanna go & dance
all of a sudden we're alone
and everything feels so wrong
with your hand around my waist
you aks me if I want a taste
but it's so cheap it can't be true
I guess I start to see the light
when you grab me under my shirt
"I promise you that I don't bite
Do as I say and it won't hurt"
I struggle free, you wear a frown
"you've turned me on girl, can't turn me down"
but I resist, I won't run away
until you hear the words I say
blood is pounding in my ears
but I'm stronger than my fears
I'm standing strong and I won't go
until you hear that no means no
and I won't bow down to your needs
I'm standing strong and I won't go
until you hear that no means no
and I won't bow down to your needs

Lovebound
04:46

I know it's been some time since we last texted & I'll admit none of this is what I expected or hoped for, once again wrong way around, once again I was lovebound, but then again
regrets won't make it any better. Still I sit down to write you this letter and let me tell you there's nothing I'm hoping from you. In fact, this is all for me, my personal therapy.
I know it's just the small things but I can't help holding on cause I don't know anything else, I don't have anything else from you I could hold on to so everytime I see your face I'm reminded of it between my legs. Don't be mad, I'm not sad but it's the only thing we ever had. Once again wrong way around, once again first laying down, and I was lovebound.
took the wrong directions now I'm directless
got the wrong intentions maybe I'm reckless
need to break free from expectations
anxiety's got me breathless
told me we'd meet in LDN but now you're busy. I'm busy too but maybe boo, we could do business, but the handbook reads 'don't be too nice' 'don't sacrifice your space and time' 'be the one to roll the dice'.
Roll the dice baby, but I ain't playing, I'm here on this airplane, sittin' writin' hopin' getting this down'll help me with these feelings before I go crazy, start planning, believing
you and me could be a thing, but you & me it's just a fling, something that I can rap about and sing, a story with no meaning... or is it so? Somehow I always end up hoping for something mo
a little peace of mind, that's something I could borrow yeah I said I wasn't sad but now I'm feeling sorrow. But I know I need to let go, and you don't need to worry or feel sorry for me.
took the wrong directions now I'm directless
got the wrong intentions maybe I'm reckless
need to break free from expectations
anxiety's got me breathless
oooh baby baby I hope you're not into these games
cause someone always gets hurt in the end
oooh baby baby I hope you're not into these games
cause someone always gets hurt in the end

Goodbye

long time no see, how long has it been?
thought the butterflies would've flown away
but saturday came like the roaring sea
a smashing wave that threw me off my feet
it all came back so suddently
your laugh your eyes and your feminine hands
I'm besotted confused I'm dazed
this won't leave me unscathed
but never would I have thought you'd shatter a mirror so carefully wrought
but under the splattering rain
say goodbye but I won't go until you let me know it's true
say goodbye but I won't leave if you won't say you feel it too
say goodbye and I'll stand here and watch you disappear
and I'll turn round, go home and watch the sun set on our love
remember only a few months ago
it was like an electric current and I still feel in my veins
tell me you understand tell me you feel the same
tell me it's not my mind that's rekindling the flame
I'm scared to fall I'm scared to break
but never would I have thought you'd shatter a mirror so carefully wrought
but under the splattering rain
say goodbye but I won't go until you let me know it's true
say goodbye but I won't leave if you won't say you feel it too
say goodbye and I'll stand here and watch you disappear
and I'll turn round, go home and watch the sun set on our love
our love...

Ghost

at nineteen, just a boy
with your handsome brown eyes open wide
you touched me like I was a toy
you’d soon have tossed aside
I still hear you call my name
in the silence of my lonely nights ;
if I’d known it was all a game
would I have let you roll the dice ?
you’re still pacing these floors
running up my stairs
hiding in the corridor
my mind’s a haunted house
woke up this morning
the sun a little paler in the dirty sky
and I felt you there, next to me
or was it all a dream ?
I thought you’d left forever
but back in town, memories turn me upside-down
I see your face in every stranger
and at night you follow me around
you’re still pacing these floors
running up my stairs
hiding in the corridor
my mind’s a haunted house

Waves

lately I've been feeling my heart is heavy
words are a weight you have to carry
can't let the out
you know me and how I hate a fight
anyways you'd think you're right
yeah I'm bitter now
and it's strange how the waves wash away feelings as if made of clay
the pain they'll make it fade
do you feel, something's changed
we're coming of age
we're coming out
you still act the same
but I won't take the blame
no not again
and it's strange how the waves wash away feelings as if made of clay
the pain they'll make it fade
(waves, waves)
I'm not scared, I'll just let them wash away and erase my disarray
with each wave it rolls away
and everything's changing so fast
I can see you're struggling to grasp
the reason why I'm letting go
but I got nothing else to say to you now
our paths are parting
and me I'm starting anew
