WHAT IF IT WAS ME Written by Melyssa Corrigan, Scott Barrier & Michael Jay I took the ring off my finger I never felt so alone The tan line still lingers Like it don’t wanna let go Trying to put the past behind me So I’m heading back to bed Cause this empty house reminds me That I’m living with regret And everyone’s so sure That you’re the one to blame And I ain’t spoke the truth Because I’m too ashamed *(Chorus) WHAT IF IT WAS ME What if I’m the one Tore a heart in two Straight through with a smoking gun Chasing down a dream Like you didn’t mean a thing Treated us so carelessly WHAT IF IT WAS ME I thought the grass would be greener Under bluer skies A foolish self-deceiver Full of stars in my eyes Making you the enemy Was such an easy out Now I’m left with nothing But the shadows of my doubts (Repeat Chorus)* c 2025 Rhythm Addiction (BMI)

V1 I meant forever when I took that vow And I’m proud to be the one she turns to now But since your last goodbye Her world’s been black and white I could use your help to color up her skies CH1 Send down a rainbow, outside her window She hasn’t been the same since you went home She’s aching for a single sign of hope So send down a rainbow Send down a rainbow V2 She tries to hide the tears behind her smile But there’s no holding back after a while There’s nothing I could say And nothing I can do To heal all of her pain from missing you CH2 So send down a rainbow, outside her window She hasn’t been the same since you went home She’s aching for a single sign of hope So send down a rainbow Send down a rainbow BR I know right now you’re looking down Ain’t no doubt that you’re so proud Of how far she’s come and just how strong she is So if you’re hearing this CH3 Send down a rainbow, outside her window She hasn’t been the same since you went home Send down a rainbow, outside her window Remind her that you’re with her wherever she goes And that one day you’ll meet again on streets of gold Send down a rainbow Send down a rainbow

The Way You'd Want Me To - UPDATED (Melyssa Corrigan, Aron Rosing) V1 Hi Daddy, it’s me How are things in Tennessee? Yes, I’m fine, don’t you worry It ain’t nothing Well, really, it’s someone And he’s got me all undone And I’m thinking he’s the one Ain’t that something? PRE CH1 He asks about my dreams Wants to help me see them through And he makes me laugh out loud Somehow even when I’m blue CH1 And I’m wondering If I can bring him home? I thought since you’re my hero You should be the first to know He might not be the kind of guy You pictured by my side And if I’m being honest Well, neither did I But you can’t change What a heart is gonna do And he makes me feel The way you’d want me to V2 Daddy, here’s the thing I know what you’re gonna think He ain’t quite the cowboy king You thought I’d find He never learned to fish But he says he's always wished That his own dad would’ve lived To teach him sometime CH2 Bridge: He ain’t rough around the edges Like the boys I’ve brought home before And when I tell him that I love him He says, girl, I love you more CH3

Livin’ Gone Astray V1 The gates are finally open The road is turning right Been praying to the stars above To point me towards the light The climb’s been unforgiving Crawled up and tumbled down Busted knees and dusty dreams And cracks left in my crown PRE (4 5) In all that getting lost I’ve found CHORUS There are so many shes That have been me along the way I’m making’ peace with each Kissing their cheeks, offering grace Wrapping them in kindness And removing all their shame Dreamers don’t reach dreams without some livin’ gone astray I wasn’t made for mainstream It wasn’t made for me Some are fine to stay fenced in And some are born to run free Been singing like I’ve lived a life Since I was just thirteen (open to an alternate line here - was written with a specific artist in mind) Now turning round it all turned out Just how it’s supposed to be REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE I’ve loved and I have lost Sunk my sorrows, paid the cost I’m only human after all And I’m still here, after all CHORUS Of those wandering she’s That have been me along the way I’m makin’ peace with each Kissin their cheeks, offering grace Wrapping them in kindness And removing all their shame Dreamers don’t reach dreams Without some livin’ gone astray Dreamers don’t reach dreams Without some livin’ gone astray

Can’t Love You For Too Long V1 Lie down boy Right next to me No where else I'd rather be Then here with you Between these sheets Wrap me up And set me free CH I’m all yours take me in Cut me loose from where I’ve been Love me like I’m all you see I’ll love you like you’re all I need And in the morning when you’re looking And you come find me gone Know I love you when I love you I just can’t love you for too long V2 I don’t want To wonder why You don’t pick up The phone one night Worry that Your truths are lies Lose myself Again this time CH REPEAT BRIDGE I don’t need your Open heart or caring eyes I don’t need your Pick me up on Sunday drives After all the heartbrea All the scars and shattered lives I do not need nothin’ But your arms round me tonight CH REPEAT OUT Know I love you when I love you I just can’t love you for too long

Drown A Memory V1 If I could drown a memory An’ just watch it slip away I’d round up every bad one Sink them in a whiskey lake I’d hold down your goodbye An’ feel that pain slowly fade Just disappearing from my mind To the bottom of a Jim Beam grave CH Yeah, if I could drown a memory If I could pick and choose I’d let every argument go under An’ save the I love you’s I’d flood each of my mistakes An’ rescue who we used to be Yeah, if I could drown a memory I’d drink to you an’ me V2 I’d drink to all the times That you took my breath away Falling deep into your eyes Bluer than those ocean waves I’d drink to every moment That I got to call you mine Never thinking I might lose you But here I am tonight CHORUS REPEAT BRIDGE Girl, if you were sitting here like me Trying to drown a memory Of the night you left, the day we met Or something in between Which one would it be? Oh, which one would it be? CHORUS REPEAT

I Finally Understand I’ve been piecing it together And I’ve got it figured out What’s been going on between us What our love is all about After all this trying After all these tears - it’s goodbye CH I finally understand You ain't making any plans Thinking ‘bout a wedding band Never gonna take my hand Oh, I finally understand… You’ve been dodging conversation Dancing round the truth Once were my salvation Now I’ll be dammed if “I do" Never there to catch me Right before I fall, that is all CH I finally understand You ain't making any plans Thinking ‘bout a wedding band Never gonna take my hand I finally understand… Can’t say I didn’t give it Everything I’ve got Can’t say I’ll ever blame myself For giving love a shot - giving love a shot CH I finally understand You ain't making any plans Thinking ‘bout a wedding band Never gonna take my hand Yes I finally understand… I finally understand I finally understand I had to let you go... had to let you go

Lying here with you skin to skin Girl there ain’t no better place I’ve been Lock the doors and let the phones go dead Morning light is all I’m letting in The world is gonna need to hold please Cause I realize in times like these The globe can spin all by itself Ain't like it really needs our help Steal a little time for you and me If we tell the world to hold please Been weeks that I’ve been out there dawn to dusk It’s true a cowboy’s work is never done But, babe, my boots are off and my hat is hung These arms ain’t been around you near enough The world is gonna need to hold please Cause I realize in times like these The globe can spin all by itself Ain't like it really needs our help Steal a little time for you and me If we tell the world to hold please Gonna lay you down like Conway Twitty If love’s a crime, then damn I’m guilty The world is gonna need to hold please Cause I realize in times like these The globe can spin all by itself Ain't like it really needs our help Steal a little time for you and me If we tell the world to hold please
