Let Her Go

she wants to do
what she wants to do
even if she don't ask
she has dreams that is bigger than this town
i just need to relax
that car don't have enough room for me
even if she ask me to tag along
i just don't want to let her go

(chorus/hook)
for the start of this life
she's ready than she ever been
for the rest of my life 
i just stare at this picture on the wall
wondering if she's alright
I've counted all my blessings
but i just need to let her go

she gots to do
what she gots to do
even if she doesn't call back
in 4 years she's graduated
i'm there to watch her succeed
even though she doesn't see me 
she can hear me from a distance

(repeat chorus)

she says things are getting better
when she knows it's falling apart
i wear this smile on my face to ease my broken heart
only if she knew
what i wanted to say
to put a smile on her face

(repeat chorus)

All Apologizes

I'M SORRY FOR WHAT I'VE DONE TO YOU
MY ONLY HOPE  IS THAT YOU CAN FORGIVE ME
I'D TRIED A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE BUT YOU WASN'T HEARING ME OUT
PLEASE READ THIS AND LET ME KNOW
DO YOU FORGIVE ME OR NOT
I'M TRYING REAL HARD TO LET YOU SEE THE HEART OF ME
IT'S NOT WHITE,I'M NOT BLACK BUT I'M RIGHT AND MY HEART IS FLAT
AFTER ALL THIS TIME 
THE FAILURE IN ME BECAUSR A MISERY I CAN'T COMPETE
I DON'T HAVE NO BEEF WITH YOU 
I EAT MY PRIDE
THERE IS NOTHING TO GAIN ON MY SIDE OF THE DEAL
IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME
IF YOU REPLY JUST ONCE SO I CAN KEEP MYSELF TOGETHER FOR ONE 
LAST HOUR
AN HOUR OF POWER
I'LL BE DAMNED IF I DIE WITHOUT LETTING YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
SOCIETY IS SO MESSED UP AND SO AM I
I RECOVERED TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON
I'M NOT SHAQ OR T-MAC
BUT I GOT HUMILITY INSIDE OF ME SO I DON'T HAVE NO OTHER POWER TO 
FEEL
I MIGHT BE CLOSER TO URKEL
BUT AT THE END WE'RE THE SAME
I'M SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING
BABY GIRL YOU SPIN MY HEAD AROUND LIKE A LOOP
THIS STRESS IS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE
I'D DEALT WITH IT DREADFULLY WELL

Cellophane Girl

LEAVING ME HERE
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT ALL OF THIS WASN'T MY FAULT
MEMORIES BRINGING ME BACK TO THE PLACES THAT I DON'T KNOW AT ALL
BUT I WANTED YOU HERE TO SEE IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE
LIFE IS GONNA BE BETTER ON THE OTHERSIDE

CELLOPHANE GIRL
LIVING IN THE PART OF A CELLOPHANE WORLD
COME BACK TO ME
YOU WAS THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE
LITTLE CELLOPHANE GIRL
SEE THROUGH ME

ALL THE DREAMS I WAS CHASING
YOU LEFT A BITTER TASTE IN MY MOUTH 
YOU'RE TURNING ME OVER
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO FEEL
THIS WORLD IS SO COLD NOW
MAYBE WE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT OR WE JUST FALL IN THE CROWD

CELLOPHANE GIRL
LIVING IN THE PART OF A CELLOPHANE WORLD
COME BACK TO ME
YOU WAS THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE
LITTLE CELLOPHANE GIRL
SEE THROUGH ME

TAKE ME UNDER FROM THE CRUELTY OF OTHERS
I THINK ABOUT IT DESPERATELY UNTIL THAT DAY
I WILL BE SITTING HERE UNDER THE TREE
DROWING MY MEMORIES DOWN HERE 
I MISS YOU

CELLOPHANE GIRL
LIVING IN THE PART OF A CELLOPHANE WORLD
COME BACK TO ME
YOU WAS THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE
LITTLE CELLOPHANE GIRL
SEE THROUGH ME

Barely Breathing

is distance all you feel
take me to the places u couldn't go
eventhough it might be strangers after awhile
i stand on the heel
troubles gone
then i begin to wonder is everything here
for i'll be there to give u the strength that you have to feel

cause i'm barely breathing
i can't find u
i stand here waiting for another day
living in your subtraction
cause i'm barely breathing

i know what you're doing
can you see it all
the black hole is in the air
do u examine
the confusion you have
i'm totally have a fusion of air and sea
imagine into your own imaginatation

cause i'm barely breathing
i can't find u
i stand here waiting for another day
living in your subtraction
cause i'm barely breathing

Wherever We Are

we're searching for something
looking out on evil eye
i'm standing right here
holding my breath for this long
it's so unlike what I've waited for
deep as the sky until my skin lasted

wherever we are
i can't forget u
u is the only person to carry me though
not to react 
for u caught me in a blend ofd lies
wherever we are

miracles is something
everything is so nice
nailing my hand in this crooked door knob
i still waiting for u to come
all my mistakes i made in the past
for as deep as my love for u will last


wherever we are
i can't forget u
u is the only person to carry me though
not to react 
for u caught me in a blend ofd lies
wherever we are

Hey There Ash

"hey there ash" by jamal scott

HEY THERE ASH
WHAT'S WRONG WITH US
MY HEART IS TREMBLING LIKE A CITY
ALL OF THIS LAND LOOKS SO PRETTY
I CAN SAY THAT I'M STILL WORRIED
BUT I KNOW U HAVE IT GOOD
I THOUGH U WOULD

HEY THERE ASH
I'M WRITING A CLASSIC FOR BOTH OF US
SO WHEN U COME BACK WE CAN LISTEN TO IT ALL
SURVIVAL IS ALL I THINK ABOUT NOW
I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE A LONG TIME BEFORE U TRUST ME
BUT GIRL I SWEAR I MAKE EVERY SECOND COUNT
DON'T LOSE ME AT ALL
I'M TRYING HARD NOT TO FALL

OH WHAT U DO TO ME
OH WHAT U DO TO ME
OH WHAT I DID TO U

HEY THERE ASH
THIS IS NOW OR NEVER
I GOT TO TELL U THIS
BEFORE I SAY GOODBYE
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
HERE'S YOUR SURPRISE
IT'S ME IN A DISGUISE

OH WHAT U DO TO ME
OH WHAT U DO TO ME
OH WHAT I DID TO U

I KNOW THIS CITY GOT COASTERS,TRAINS,AND CARS
TO TAKE ME WHEREVER U ARE
IT'S NOT TOO FAR
I DON'T WANT TO FALL
SO ME AND U CAN STAND TALL TOGETHER

Vulnerable

share with me the brackets of cold 
it's true i've been looking for u 
i'll show u my reasons i'm scared 
tell me why i'm vulnerable 
it's something already 
u make me see everything clearer 
i know u don't care as soon as you open the door 
u are unprepared for what might happen 
i can be simple but it's hard to tell u i'm sorry 
tell me why i'm vulnerable 
u is not discreet 
i'm hiding from the past 
that i have built with u 
somebody is there already 
and i'm sure 
i'm leaving notes on your bed 
which is the bed i never sleep on 
i stay awake writing this for u 
tell me why i'm vulnerable

Your Call

i know the voices that you're after
standing in the cold waiting for u to come
share with me the secrets you never told
all the places that i'm going and leaving from
carring on through the past that i'm trying to escape


i'm here waiting by the phone to get a call from you
looking for a breakthrough
so i can talk to u
i've waited all night for your call

losing my mind over what happened the other night
why do i need to stop her from going overboard
turning off the lights there is nothing but fright
as i stand aside from the fireplace lookinh sober
tonight it's over

i'm here waiting by the phone to get a call from you
looking for a breakthrough
so i can talk to u
i've waited all night for your call

i'm trying to be sincere to your feelings to see what is inside
it's time to recognize the decisions we're making this night
no one is insight
do u have a plan to escape from this place

i'm here waiting by the phone to get a call from you
looking for a breakthrough
so i can talk to u
i've waited all night for your call
