False Start 03:15
Invisible with your silence Casting shadows from the darkness Not the life that you had hoped for Hopeful days end in sadness And with so much that you hoped for And so much that you fought for When days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years on end When does this end? You question what you're made for And not sure what to pray for And so much of this time you realize was just a waste in the end Is this the end? I'll false start until it's started I'll start over ’til it's over Wait until the sting of failure Goes away and try again And with so much that I hoped for And so much that I fought for When days turn into weeks of feeling like I'm not who I could've been When does this end? Is this what I was made for? I'm out of things to pray for And so much of this time I realize was just a waste in the end Is this the end?

Time has flown by Can't believe how much we've grown Just yesterday it seems we said Our first hello It took me by surprise The way it all turned out to be But destiny has never failed us Has it now? No Moving on is just another fact of life Once we accept there's never thought Of turning back Though it hurts to say good bye The thought of leaving chokes me up But memories are meant to last to keep us close, so now Try not to miss me when I'm gone I know that I'll come back and Tell you all about the things I've seen I wouldn't be surprised if I came back a different man But you'll always be close and dear to me Try not to miss me when I'm gone I know that I'll come back and Tell you all about the things I've seen I wouldn't be surprised if I came back a different man But you'll always be close and dear to me Try not to miss me when I'm gone I know that I'll come back and Tell you all about the things I've seen. Oh I I wouldn't be surprised if I came back a different man But you'll always be close and dear to me Try not to miss me when I'm gone I know that I'll come back and Tell you all about the things I've seen. Oh I I wouldn't be surprised if I came back a different man But you'll always be close and dear to me Oh!

Broken 03:17
She thought that everything seemed wrong And nothing will go right She told herself That nothing's worth this fight She was so sick of feeling down and Anxious all the time The feeling of Drowning in her mind She couldn't take it anymore She felt her life had no reason For her to be there She wrote her note and locked the door And that's when God gave her reason For why she's still here When He said "Whoa Think of all the things that make you feel so broken" When He said "Whoa Think of all the things that make you feel so broken And let them go" You think that everything is wrong And nothing will go right It's hard to think "Is my life worth this fight?" I know you're sick of feeling down And anxious all the time The feeling of Losing your own mind I know you've been here for so long but it's just part of a season In your lifetime Just keep in your mind that we all have a reason You're meant to be here And we sing Whoa And think of all the things that make us feel so broken And we sing Whoa And think of all the things that make us feel so broken And let them go Whoa Think of all the things that make you feel so broken And we sing Whoa And think of all the things that make you feel so broken

Someone 03:05
Well maybe it's not my fault I couldn't read any of those signs That you thought you were giving Making me feel so small Up on that high horse that you ride Oh here we go again With all these games that you're making me play But never let me win It's hard enough to keep the faith Without you rubbing it in my face But I would not have guessed That you Have waited so long For something I would give Without a second thought, when I thought Who am I to be something special? Who am I to be... Just when I'm finding my pace You come around and you trip me up And I fall on my face You're acting like it's not a race As you leave me in the dust Here we go again With all these games that you're making me play But never let me win It's hard enough to keep the faith Without you setting me up for failure more than once again But I would not have guessed That you Have waited so long For something I would give Without a second thought, when I thought Who am I to be something special? Who am I to be... And I would not have guessed That you Have waited so long For something I would give Without a second thought, when I thought Who am I to be something special And who am I to be...

So alone Desolation The thought of drowning in a lake seems like Seems like vacation There's times where we are so cold In places that we call home Where'd we all go wrong We blame it on the weather But someplace deep within ourselves we know That we just don't belong Sometimes I hide myself away and tell myself That things will all be OK But when I look around and see a town that Doesn't know my name There's times where we are so cold In places that we call home Where'd we all go wrong We blame it on the weather But someplace deep within ourselves we know That we just don't belong There's times where we are so cold In places that we call home Where'd we all go wrong We blame it on the weather But someplace deep within ourselves we know That we just don't belong There's times where we are so cold In places that we call home Where'd we all go wrong We blame it on the weather But someplace deep within ourselves we know That we just don't belong There's times where we are so cold In places that we call home Where'd we all go wrong We blame it on the weather But someplace deep within ourselves we know That we just don't belong So Alone Desolation The thought of drowning in a lake seems like Seems like vacation

Panic Attack 01:08
It's getting harder to breathe I'm losing self control My heart is beating faster Keeps beating faster faster I'm suffocating can't you see that I need out of here My mind is racing thoughts of losing my own mind to fear Of losing touch of my own self and everything I care about The world and everything you see but I am losing sight of these 'cause Everything about me feels so out of my control And I can't help but feel like I'm losing touch with my own soul Tell me what am I supposed to do? It's getting worse as time goes on I can't let go I'll kill myself instead

You (Used) 04:47
What more do you need to see that You're taking more than I can give I'm not sure how much I have left You took my heart, my body My hard earned pride and then you go And leave me here Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Who knew that you were like that When we first met you were so kind What happened between now and then? I gave you every chance to Make amends but then you just go And leave me here Waiting for you Waiting for you I feel so used By you Waiting for What's sad is I just keep saying one more time Like one more time will prove I was wrong this time One more chance to change Well maybe it's time we move on this time And break away from all of those chains you hide Before it's too late For you Waiting for you I feel so used by You

The waves are crashing All around The footprints we made Are gone The season's changing Without a sound The world looks different At dawn If you're out there All alone Where pain comes easy As sorrow And when no one's perfect And life's not fair One thing's certain I'll be there Now you've moved on To bigger things I hope it's everything You dreamed When you've made it And have all that you wanted But things aren't all what They seemed If you're out there All alone Where pain comes easy As sorrow And when no one's perfect And life is so unfair As long as I'm living I'll be there

Alive 04:23
You make me hold my breath With every single gaze The way you hate me, break me Haunt me with my darkest days and You won't go away No matter what I say You leave me broken, hopin' For a chance to break away but One day you'll be gone, 'cause You can bring me down With every word you say And you can hate me, break me, Haunt me with my darkest days but You can't keep me down And you will see the day When all the words you used to hurt me End up hurting you instead And now that I know all you said is a lie I'll just stand taller and stronger inside I'm Alive You keep me wide awake With every step you take You never wait to tell me When I've made a huge mistake, and I will never be What I was meant to be I missed my shot, it's too late No chance, no room left for me but One day you'll be gone, 'cause You can bring me down With every word you say And you can hate me, break me, Haunt me with my darkest days but You can't keep me down And you will see the day When all the stones you used to hurt me End up hitting you instead And now that I know all you said is a lie I'll just stand taller and stronger inside I'm Alive I'll still hold my breath With every heartless gaze You'll find new ways to trick me Haunt me with my darkest days but Soon you'll go away Because of what you say And every day that passes You'll just slowly fade away 'til One day you'll be gone... 'cause You can bring me down With every word you say And you can hate me, break me, Haunt me with my darkest days but You can't keep me down And you will see the day When all the hate you used to hurt me Ends up killing you instead And now that I know all are said is a lie I'll just stand taller and stronger inside, and All of these years I let you hold me back But never again because I'm Alive

Thank You 02:12
One day we'll look to the past And we'll only just wish we could be there again Softly we clear our own paths Drifting further but closer to where it began And I will remember your warmth like a summer's day And the way your smile lights up the room When time looks us over at least I was able to say Thank you Slowly the candles they burn Casting light on the shadows of where we have been Surely the hourglass turns And like every good thing we have come to an end But I will remember your warmth like a summer's day And the way your smile lights up the room When time looks us over at least I was able to say Thank you
