You are free to make your choices as poor as they may be,
It’s your life you’re living, it don’t belong to me, so
If you want to stay with him ain’t nothing I will do
Unlike that little boy you got I know that I don’t own you
I may have been a casualty, it don’t matter in the end
Just as long as it was worth it for you to lose a friend
Well I can’t make you love me and I don’t need you to
It’s true, I get lonely, but I really have got better things to do.
You are free to make your choices as poor as they may be,

Well I can’t make you love me and I don’t want you to
It’s true, I get lonely, but I really have got better things to do.
You are Free to make your choices as poor as they may be, oh
It’s your life you’re living, it don’t belong to me, so
If you want to stay with him ain’t nothing I can do
Unlike that little boy you got I know that I don’t own you
You’re free to make your choices as poor as they may be, oh

Better By You

It’s clear that you
Can’t see you’re worth
‘Cause you Keep wavering back and forth
The dead can’t always
Be preserved
Accept the love that you deserve
Baby I could love you right-
Love you, love you
A-All all night it’s true
I could do better by you
I could do better by you
I could do better by you
I could do better by you
Well I seen the ways he treats you-
I guess it ain’t that bad
But baby I could give you
the greatest lovin’ you’ve ever had
‘Cause somethin’ magic happens
Every time you touch my hand
Take it from a woman and give that man the can
Cause I could do better by you
I could do better by you
I could do so much better by you
You call me up, bring me by
You’re working up my appetite
You’re not alone inside your room
I can smell your perfume
You call me up, bring me by
You’re working up my appetite
You’re not alone inside your room
I can smell your perfume
Where will you stay tonight
Who’s arms will you choose
Say you will, or say you might
Always an excuse
Where will you stay tonight,
Who’s arms will you choose
You’re working up my appetite
Got nothing left to loose
Where will you stay tonight,
Who’s arms will you choose
You’re working up my appetite
Got nothing left to loose
Cause I could do
Better by you

Art Of Forgetting
05:29

Hello. I know
We haven’t spoken in years
But today I just came to say
You look so lovely in white
But tonight I won’t even dream
That you might be coming back to me
Congratulations
On a beautiful wedding
Let’s hear three cheers
For the art of forgetting.
Let’s share a toast-
Here’s to all our ghosts.
Here’s to your new life
Your beautiful wife
And the art of forgetting.
I slept in the airport.
Was the least I could do.
I said, “It was worth it”.
That I would do anything for you.
We ruled Pensacola
For two short days
Who knew I’d never see you again
After we parted ways.
Congratulations
For moving on
For finally finding
Where you belong.
Let’s raise a glass-
Here’s to our past.
Here’s to us-
And what we’ve become
Through the art of forgetting.

I Hope

Yeah, it’s been a while
Maybe even long enough to say
I hope that you find happiness
I hope that you find love
I hope that you love her
Just enough to treat her right
I hope you feel at peace enough
To finally realize
All is fair in love and war
Doesn’t mean you need to fight
You can’t find what you’re looking for
If you won’t turn on the light
You can’t solve any problems
without swallowing your pride
Just promise me you’ll
Let her see you cry
Where do you go
Where do you go when you’ve become
The habits you once hated
The demons you run from
Know that I’m not proud
But I still need to admit
I’ve done what I once criticized
I’ve been a hypocrite
But just because I sympathize
Does not mean I condone
I’m working every day
To make my choices all my own
If you can’t be faithful
You’re better off alone
You’re old enough by now
You should know

To Be Alone
05:27
|
|||
|
I’m sticking out my neck here;
But I’ll do it for you dear.
I just want to know I’m worth
You telling me the words.
I’ll sacrifice addictions,
I’ll compromise convictions.
I just want to know I’m worth
What you said I deserved
Oo-oh- It’s okay,
But things can’t stay this way.
Oo-oh, it’s okay,
But something’s got to change
So tell me, can you stand
To do this on your own?
Do you really have
What it takes to be alone?
Oo-oh- It’s okay,
But things can’t stay this way.
Oo-oh, it’s okay,
But something’s got to change
Are you scared
To be alone.

Let It Burn
05:07
|

I’ve been working so hard
Just to keep my head above the water, and-
I’ll be damned-
To let you make this any
Harder.
When I feel alone
That’s just because I am.
‘Cause now that I am grown
I don’t need you here to hold my hand.
Why stress about your money
When you could stress about your time.
These grains of sand are falling
In the glass that is your life.
You’ll use them all up fighting
Just battling your mind.
The parts of you still killing off
The parts that haven’t died
That haven’t died
Fear can start a fire
You can let it burn
Does it even matter
If you never learn?
In a world built for convenience
It will never be enough.
That’s how this generation
Has gotten so fucked up.

La Niña

Three hundred miles
With you on my mind
In three feet of snow
This cold is all I know
I would go anywhere
For the people that I care about
If I already have to drive
Then what’s a few more miles?
Six hundred miles
But you make it worth my while
You say I’m insane
But I kind of like the rain
I would brave any storm
If you would just stay to keep the blankets warm
You don’t have to leave
My love is delivery
La Niña, La Niña
Can’t keep ya from me
La Niña, La Niña,
I need ya company
La Niña, La Niña
Can’t keep ya from me
La Niña, La Niña

TheSpace

The space I occupy’s a mess and so’s the space inside my head
I sift through crumpled papers, I dust off old ideas.
I smile, I make myself new friends everywhere I go
But they can’t cure the loneliness that’s swelling in my throat.
This is what I asked for, my solitude, my space.
The tides are rising every night, it comes and goes in waves.
Ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay, ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay
ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay-oooh.
I stand alone, atop my roof, harvesting my crops.
I grow and sew my vegetables inside a tiny box.
If only I could harvest love, plant it in my yard-
I’d have a hand to grab onto when times were getting hard.
This is what I asked for, my solitude, my space.
The tides are rising every night, it comes and goes in wavs.
Ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay, ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay
ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay-oooh.
I’m living on the coast now, so I really can’t complain-
But I can’t hep but wonder if you’re whispering my name.
I guess it doesn’t matter- in the end, it’s all the same.
I’ve got a lot to do now and, I think that love can wait.
Ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay, ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay
ooh-ay, ooh-ay-ay-oooh.
Ay-oooh.
