I Don't Want It
(M. Palmer)
Verse 1:
There’s a possibility that I’m not the one you want
And boy it’s killing me ‘ cause I know that it’s all my fault
When you’re telling me “Baby, you could be the one”
A voice inside of me’s screaming “it’s time to turn and run”
Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know how I can be
So damn afraid of intimacy
And I don’t know what’s wrong with me
There’s a vacancy
Where love’s supposed to be
Chorus:
I don’t want it
I don’t know
I can’t be there when you need me
I can’t be the one you hold
I don’t want it
I don’t know
I’m too young for a commitment
And too scared to be alone
Verse 2:
The pressure of a title always weighed heavy on me
To you it’s vital, am I wrong for wanting to be free?
You love me so you wanna lock me up in chains
And I’m the bad guy just ‘cause I don’t feel the same
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
I don’t want it in my life
Throwing things and picking fights
I don’t wanna be the one Who makes you breakdown and cry
Honestly, I’m ill-equipped
And your heart can’t take the hit
We both know you deserve Better than this
Chorus
Do It All Again
(M. Palmer, T. Lundberg)
Verse 1:
I’ve been so unlucky in love
I’ve given my heart to the wrong ones
Been so misguided
Thought I might never find it
I tried ignoring all their red flags
And my pride wouldn’t let me relax
But on our first night
It was easy for the first time
Chorus:
I’d do it all again, I’d do it all again
I’d do it all again
I would suffer
If you promise in the end, promise in the end
Promise in the end
To be my lover
X2
Verse 2:
Your mind and your sincerity
You tried to get to the heart of me
It’s like you see me
I don’t always make it easy
And I know it’s just the beginning
Don’t wanna jump the gun
In the game of love, boy it’s our first inning
But it feels like I won
I don’t wanna jinx it
Baby don’t turn and run
Just let me be the one Chorus
Bridge:
For the first time in my life
I ain’t up at night
Afraid he’s gonna leave
Or that he’ll change his mind
And I won’t be obsessed
With what might happen next
Boy, let’s put the joy in the joy ride
Chorus
Leave Me Out
(M. Palmer, T. Lundberg)
Verse 1:
Don’t get confused or misconstrued
Boy, I’ve been better off alone
I ain’t been crying (no)
Ain’t missed your lying (no)
Ain’t missed you playing on my phone
I ain’t dumb and you ain’t slick
You were with him before we ended it
So don’t you smile up in my face
Let’s just go our separate ways ‘cause
Chorus:
I don’t wanna be unkind but
I don’t owe you my time
And since you went and broke my heart
I’m taking back what once was ours
So don’t call my name
If you see me out
I’m done with your games
Just leave me out
Verse 2:
You made your bed now lie in it
Don’t get to keep me on the shelf
For when you’re getting bored
Or when you feel ignored
Better off playing with yourself
You survived on validation
I supplied but grew impatient
Our goodbye was so frustrating
‘Cause you never appreciated
Chorus
Bridge:
And I’m not your man and I’m not your friend
I don’t want you to get it twisted
And I’m not angry just moved on baby
Let’s meet here next lifetime, maybe
X2
Chorus
Allergic
(M. Palmer)
Verse 1:
I hate your lips and beautiful eyes
‘Cause they don’t blink when you tell me lies
About how you’re needing space
When somebody’s taken my place
God forbid you tell me what’s wrong
Or try to face your demons alone
It’s easier to forget
That I was in your orbit
Pre-Chorus 1:
My heart’s been broke before but
It hurts more with you
What I thought was real love
It wasn’t ever true ‘cause
Chorus:
You’re the one I dreamt about
And wished I could impress
I thought I wanted somebody just like you
Now you’re the one I’m sick about
The pain’s still in my chest
I think I’m allergic to being lied to
Verse 2:
Did you want me to feel like a fool?
Ashamed I put my faith in you
Were just manipulating
A game that you were playing
Guess all my intuitions were wrong
And my guard’s back up where it belongs
Can’t trust the voice in my head
So sick of being misled
Pre-Chorus 2:
You’re nothing like the man
You pretended to be
I guess there’s sides of you
I didn’t wanna see ‘cause
Chorus
Bridge:
Will I ever get over these symptoms?
Are these tears burning scars to my cheek?
Though you’ll say that I’m playing the victim
We both know that you prey on the weak
Chorus
Outro:
I’m sorry for projecting all my dreams straight onto you
I’m sorry for expecting you to want forever too and I am
Sorry for ignoring all your signs telling me no
I hope you can forgive me ‘cause I’ve finally let you go
Keep a Secret
(M. Palmer, H. Huijsman)
Verse 1:
Baby, thought I locked my heart
And threw away the key
But lately, I’m fantasizing about
Your hands all over me
Pre-Chorus 1:
You’ve got someone else
‘Cause of course you would
But boy, one sip of you’d
Do my body good
If I had one chance
I just know I could
Work you like a profession
I got a question
Chorus:
Can you keep a secret?
You’re who I’ve been dreaming
About at night
The one that I’m needing
Can you keep a secret?
Imagining your body close to mine
Is why my heart’s beating
Triple time, I can’t deny
Something about you
Friends say get him off your mind
I don’t know how to
Triple time, I can’t deny
Something about you
Something about you
Verse 2:
Spare me all the details
Of your picture-perfect bond
Unfairly, that shit doesn’t change
How much you turn me on
Pre-Chorus 2:
If this is wrong
I’m not gon’ be right
The way your body moves
Keeps me up at night
Boy, I need a hit
Or some good advice
You could teach me a lesson
I got a question
Chorus
Bridge:
If you would touch my body, yeah
You’d never wanna let it go
I’m living for you body, yeah
And I’d die to get you alone
If you would touch my body, yeah
You’d never wanna let it go, it go
Chorus
Used to the Dark
(M. Palmer, T. Lundberg)
Verse 1:
It feels like something’s passed you by
You’re too hurried or too worried
To prioritize
What you want and dreamt of for your life
Think it’s too late for you to change
But that’s all a lie
Pre-Chorus:
That voice inside
Is fear and it’s been steering you wrong
For way too long, say
Chorus:
Hey, you ain’t gotta be lonely
I know that you’re afraid
Give it time
Don’t you retreat into your mind
Hey, ‘cause you shine like a star
And we see who you are
Know your heart
Don’t you get too used to the dark
I know you’re broken-hearted
But you gotta be strong
I know you’re thinking that you
Might’ve waited too long
But if you end up happy
Then it couldn’t be wrong
Could it?
X2
Verse 2:
You built a house
And padlocked every door
For your safety, boy but maybe
It’s time to cut the cord
And go it alone
Stop settling for less
What was patient’s now complacent
And you deserve the best
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
You can run but can’t hide
From the light that’s inside
If you’re cold in the night
Don’t fear
You can run but can’t hide
From the light that’s inside
If you’re cold in the night
Don’t fear, I’m here
I’m here
Chorus
Chasing Fireworks
(M. Palmer, P. Lukens)
Verse 1:
I was used to feeling like I’m high
From the first time I looked in their eyes
But the stories always end the same
Sparks would never turn into a flame
When I saw you boy I was at ease
Washed over me like a summer breeze
But when you loved me so consistently
I thought it meant there wasn’t chemistry
Pre-Chorus 1:
I thought love meant out of reach
The catch and the release
The other shoe that dangled over me
Don’t want it anymore
And baby you’re the cure
Chorus:
Passion can lie so can butterflies
Was chasing fireworks until I realized
That sometimes it’s calm
‘Cause it feels like home
So glad that I decided
That I was sick of pleading
Banging down the doors
Finally found a feeling
That actually endures
I’m not gon’ be chasing fireworks no more
Verse 2:
My issues led me to the boys I choose
A lover’s game designed for me to lose
I’d disappear in love so willingly
I’d give them every power over me
The fire came from fear that they would leave
My favorite self-fulfilling prophecy
But ever since you opened up the door
Boy, I’m so much better than before
Pre-Chorus 2:
I would never write a song
Be scared to sing along
‘Cause if I shined too brightly
They’d be gone
But you well up with pride
Just standing by my side
Chorus
Bridge:
I thought it had to make me cry
And tear me up inside
That love would make me
Hold on for dear life
So glad that I have grown
Since making you my own
Chorus
Solo Act
(M. Palmer)
Verse 1:
I’m allergic to holding my lover’s hand
To letting him break through
He’s begging me to give him more than I can stand
Time to cut him loose, 'cause
Pre-Chorus:
I don’t wanna get
I don’t wanna get hurt, hurt
I can’t put in the
I can’t put in the work, work
Even if you love me
Like you say you do, do
Might take some getting
Might take some getting used to, to
Chorus:
Cuz I’ve always been a solo act
I’ve fallen in love but never made it last
I give up my heart and then I take it back
Now I’m feeling oh so low
Cuz I’m still solo tonight
X2
Verse 2:
These excuses never keep me warm at night
Just keep me off the brink
I have learned the only way to turn the tide
Is keep him at arm’s length, 'cause
Pre-Chorus
Bridge:
If you let me down easy
Boy, you’d still let me down
Tell me why try to fly
If I always hit the ground
Said if you let me down easy
Boy, you'd still let me down
Tell me why to fly
If I always hit the ground, somehow
Chorus
Bridge
Get Lost
(M. Palmer)
Verse 1:
Whenever something’s too good to be true
It’s always a fantasy
That’s how I feel when I’m here holding you
So are you real or just a dream?
Pre-Chorus
Your touch still makes me shiver
I talk but my lips still quiver
These butterflies just won’t go
I try to be in the moment
Trust I’m the one that you’re wanting
I hate that I’ll never know
But I know
Chorus:
I still get lost in your eyes
Bit more than I realize
When I’m around you
I can’t breathe ‘til he kiss me
But I can’t tell if he
Gets lost in me too
Verse 2:
I’d gotten used to this still broken heart
For me love ends in pain
But what we built hasn’t fallen apart
So can I come in out the rain?
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
So baby do you wanna ride with me
So baby do you wanna hideaway
So baby can you make me scream your name
Cuz I get lost without you

Chorus
Inevitably
(M. Palmer)
Verse 1:
You’re like a daydream I pray never ends
I’m enchanted by the view
Behind your brown eyes
Underneath your skin, there’s a soul I know is true
Pre-Chorus:
So let me count, me count the ways
That I want you and I can’t wait
To share my life with you every day
Cuz you’ll be mine inevitably
So tell me
Chorus:
This ain’t infatuation
Baby it’s the real thing
I could say without hesitation
You’re where I wanna be
I been dreaming of you
Still dreaming of me?
Bet we end up together
Inevitably

How is everyday better than the last
Since I've had you by my side
You're the best teammate
Anyone could ask for
I dreamed you into life
Pre-Chorus
Chorus

It's inevitable that you
Gonna be a part of me
You might not know it now
But one day you gonna see
You'll hear it in my voice
And the way that your hear beats
That we ain't got a choice
Inevitably
Chorus
The Boy Who Hates Everything
(M. Palmer, D. Scott)
Verse 1:
This where I start to see
Cracks in our foundation
All ain’t seems to be
It’s like the floor is shaking
Does he need this dark cloud that he’s made
Does he have to rain on my parade
Pre-Chorus:
'Cause no one is good enough
And nothing is quite to his liking
If I love it sure enough
It’s just not what he’d call exciting
Don’t know how to win this game I’ve never played
But aren’t you supposed to love me anyway?
Chorus:
Thought that I was the exception
Thought that I could be his cure
One thing he’d never question
But boy now I’m not so sure
If he finds comfort in his darkness
Then there’s nothing you can do
Cuz the boy who hates everything’s
Gonna wind up hating you
Verse 2:
He loves his image more than me
So damn condescending
But baby I’m too old to be
Acting or pretending
Like I’m someone else to fit his mold
His warm heart’s turning oh so cold
Pre-Chorus:
Guess I’m not good enough
Guess I’m not quite to his liking
If I love it sure enough
It’s just not what he’d call exciting
Don’t know how to win this game I’ve never played
But aren’t you supposed to love me anyway?
Chorus
Bridge:
It’s like I turned around
And he was someone else
Someone who never smiled
Someone who never felt
It's like I’m in a race
I never meant to run
And the look his face
Says “we're under the gun”
The Worst
(M. Palmer)
Verse 1:
Looks like all the things you told me
Were lies just to keep me holding on
A dream you knew would fall through
The sun sets and I remember
In life nothing lasts forever
You’re no exception to that rule
Pre-Chorus:
I’m sick of stating my case
And counting the days
And watching the clock run out
The love that we made
It went up in flames
And now that the fire’s out
Chorus:
I can pinpoint when we took a turn for the worst
You gave up so easily
You can’t break the silence and I can’t break this curse
I’m still down here on my knees
Verse 2:
It shot through me like some lightning
Your eyes were lifeless it was frightening
How it seemed to cause you no pain
To rip my heart right out of me
Those lips used to say they loved me
Now I’m back here stuck in the rain
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Break
Chorus
Giving Up My Love
(M. Palmer)
Verse 1:
I’m not getting over
'Cause I’m already gone
And you can't come over
'Cause it's been way too long
And I think it’s so funny
Well I think it’s so strange
How you never loved me
You only loved the chase
Pre-Chorus:
It’s like you held my hand
Just to let go
It’s like you told me yes
To tell me no
So stop pretending
Like you’re so sincere
I don’t believe you, boy
So let’s be clear
Chorus:
I’ve given my love away for the last time
There’s no room for you in this heart of mine
Of my dignity, boy you robbed me blind
So just give it up
'Cause I’ve given up
Giving up my love
Verse 2:
I gave you my power
But never again
In the lonely hour
I’ll be my own best friend
'Cause it’s truly unnerving
How you threw it away
Only someone deserving
Gon' get this part of me

Bridge:
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice well that won’t do

Comfortable
(M. Palmer, D. Scott)
Verse 1:
All the lies that you spread
Used to get in my head
Used to make me think
Well, something's wrong with wrong with me
Like my thoughts were impure
Like I needed a cure
I was just a child and you would tell me
Pre-Chorus:
To stiffen that wrist boy
And watch that lisp boy
And Maybe they don’t know
Change who you are
And you could go far
Just make them comfortable
Chorus:
So should I live a lie
And compromise
All that I feel inside for you?
Should I give up my soul
And play a role
To make them comfortable?
Would you?
Verse 2:
Boy, who made you this way?
What would all your friends say?
Tainted thoughts became the monster in my bed
All of me was pretense
Laughter was my defense
Evil words still playing in my head
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
When I was weak, you were crushing me
Trying to make me hate the man I’m supposed to be
But I have grown so strong and you were oh so wrong
The truth is within me, it was there all along
Chorus 2:
So I won’t live a lie
And compromise
All that I feel inside for you
I won’t give up my soul
And play a role
To make you comfortable
Would you?

Break-Up
(M. Palmer, DFRNS)

All you need is time
All you need is space
Boy that’s what you said
To me
It’s been far too long
You’re so far away
And I’m all alone
Again
Pre-Chorus:
I don’t know why I believed you
And all the lies you told
I watched our love turn see through
This shit is getting old
I act like I don’t need you
And you treat me so cold
Everyday
Chorus:
Cuz every time I wake up
I think about our break-up
And the way that you just left me behind
And every time I look up
My world is so damn shook up
Cuz you loved me then you’re leaving me blind
If light’s at the end of this tunnel
I can’t see it with these eyes
Cuz every time I wake up
I think about our break-up
And I feel like I’ve been losing my mind, my mind
Verse 2:
Like the minute hand
Moves much slower than
It did in the past
Tonight
We’re grasping at straws
Every time I call
Conversation running dry

But I’m screaming your name
And you still hear me calling
But you turn me away

They'll poison you with lies

The things that you do
Make me feel a fool

Boy you want the power and you know
I’ll take it in stride
Pre-Chorus:
You telling me no but really mean yes

I’m hearing you say
You want me to stay

Sweet nothings in your ear
Pre-Chorus:
I’ve been waiting far too long to make love to you
Can we make this fantasy come true
Cuz dude
Chorus:
He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He’s the song in the car I been singing don’t know why
He’s the song in the car I been singing don’t know why I do

Won’t you meet me under the covers
Tonight you’re gonna be my lover

Some people get all the luck
I want his kiss and I wanna fuck
But for my man, it’s just not enough
We gotta fight if we making love

But lately I been driving myself crazy
I wanna be his baby no matter how much this shit pains me
I can’t take him throwing things and punching walls
And cursing me
God damn I’m so ashamed
Chorus:
He’s only happy when it rains
He’s only happy when it’s complicated
When I’m on beat my dude is syncopated
He’s only happy when it rains
I think he gets off on the pain
He’s only happy when the room is spinning
And when I feel like the whole world is ending
He’s got a smile up on his face
He’s only happy when it rains

Am I fool or a masochist
When he hit me it felt like a kiss
So damn good but I’m so scared of it?
I’m locked in love and I can’t break this shit

Bridge:
I can’t sleep, I can’t lie

And I’m gon’ take these mirrors down
Tonight I am no longer proud
Of the face I see when the silence gets too loud

Snow
(M. Palmer, DFRNS)
Verse 1:
You’ll see no tears fall from my eyes
Cuz you ain’t here but I’ve got my pride, my pride
Pushed love away most of the time
And I’m so sick of the losing game
Of playing the fool but who can I blame
Pre-Chorus:
This heart that would beat
And jump out its seat
Is now turning back to stone
If that’s what it means
To love somebody
Then I’d rather be alone
Chorus:
Cuz like the falling snow
Boy your love has left me cold
We were oh so beautiful
And it finally felt like home
But seasons change
We melt away like the snow
Verse 2:
Could feel the chill there on your breath
I loved you still the day you left, you left
Me on the ground, no words were said
But I could tell from your vacant stare
That I’d fall down from walking on air
Pre-Chorus:
This heart that would race
And jump out its place
Is now turning back to stone
Don’t think I could take
Another heartbreak
Boy I’d rather be alone
Chorus
Bridge:
You brushed me to the wayside
Stole the light out of my eyes
Can’t find the good in goodbye
Your touch used to make me melt
Now it’s the coldest that I’ve felt
This rain has turned to my hell
Just like the snow
Chorus
Free
(M. Palmer)
Verse 1:
I was so young and so afraid
When times got tough I walked away
Convinced we’d never be the same
You’d drink too much and want my kiss
I’d treat you like you don’t exist
Tell me who’s it benefit
Chorus:
I thought we’d fade to black
No turning back
Be better off without you
Our ending was so tragic
But the fact is, boy
I hate that we’re through
When you broke my trust
We turned to dust and tore in two
But what’s become of me
Guess breaking free means that I’m free to miss you
Verse 2:
You know your voice reverberates
Inside my head like yesterday
I feel for you but I’m still in pain
Cuz you were flawed by all accounts
But did I have to cut you out?
I guess it shouldn’t matter now
Chorus
Bridge:
It’s like walking through hallowed halls
(Remembering my life with you)
My teardrop stains upon the walls
(The words you said still ringing true)
Swore I was sleeping with the enemy
But now I see
The enemy still lives inside of me
Chorus
