ANGRY AS HELL
Angry As Hell
V1:
I’m sittin’
In the shadows of my fate
Should I love or should I stay
I’m broken yeah
From the fracture in my soul
Doesn’t anybody know
I ain’t gonna take it no more
This time I’m out, out, out the door
Oh, oh, oh
Chorus:
I’m angry as hell
And if you can’t tell
I cry and I yell
Cuz I’m angry
I’m angry as hell
Yeah eh
I’m angry as hell
V2:
I’m fallin’
From the bright light of day
Far beyond the dark and the gray
I’m addicted yeah
To the thought of leavin’ you
For the measure of the pain you put me through
I ain’t gonna take it no more
This time I’m out, out, out the door
Oh, oh, oh
Chorus:
I’m angry as hell
And if you can’t tell
I cry and I yell
Cuz I’m angry
I’m angry as hell
Yeah eh
I’m angry as hell
Bridge:
You thought that you could keep me down
But through this pain I am stronger now
(Repeat) Chorus:
I’m angry as hell
And if you can’t tell
I cry and I yell
Cuz I’m angry
I’m angry as hell
Yeah eh
I’m angry as hell

You stormed, into my life like a
Cyclone
Spinning me all night on the
Dance floor
Underneath the lights of the
Ne-on
Turning, me on–
And
We stayed ‘til they shut the
Place down and
It’s late, but I can see your
Face now you
Kissed me, and said the way that
I smiled
Was bright light–
On a, dark night
(Well)
CHORUS
I’ll be your lightning baby, you can be my thunder
Boom boom
We’ll make it rain for each other
I’ll be your lightning baby you can be my thunder
Boom boom
We’ll light it up under the covers
In the day, I can feel you rolling in
In the night, you can make me glow again
I’ll be your lightning baby you can be my thunder
Boom boom
Flying high on each other
V2
Your voice, echoes in my mind
I got
No choice, I wanna make you mine,
Let you
Enjoy, all my extra shine,
Be the
Flashy– to your–mystery
(Yeah)

They– look at us in awe and tell themselves we’re dangerous
But we– know the truth is they all want what’s between us…
Yeahhh–

DAMAGE
Song title: Damage

You’re telling me
It’s much too late
That I’ve ignored
All my mistakes
Now you say we’re through
Oh! the damage that I do
LINK / RE-INTRO 1:
Hear me out
I swear I’ve come round

Inside my heart
I want to change
Won’t put you second
Ever again
So we can stay as one

Looking back
I’ve caused you so much pain
Is there time to clear my name
All my wrongs
Are damning me
The damage that I do

To have one more dance

I’ve realised
I gave you less
Controlled our lives
Made such a mess

DIM MY LIGHT
"DIM MY LIGHT"
Richard Bradley McKinney (ASCAP), IPI# 724736729
Jeffrey East (BMI), IPI# 437266937
V
I saw a cloud that was dark and gray
Floating up in the sky
I let it dim my light
I let it dim my light
I chased a dream that couldn’t be caught
Damn near all my life
I let it dim my light
I let it dim my light
CH
Everybody gets down, down, down
Comin’ close to giving up, up, up
All it takes to turn it all around
Is a little bit of love, love, love
V
I had a heart that was good as gold
Break in the blink of an eye
I let it dim my light
I let it dim my light
From that point on, no matter what good
Was goin on on in my life
I let it dim my light
I let it dim my light
REPEAT CH
REPEAT CH
V
If you’re out in the world somewhere
feeling lonely in this fight
Don’t let it dim your light
Don’t let it dim your light
Cause I been down that road before
And I know what that hurt is like
There’s hope on the other side
Don’t let it dim your light

DROWN A MEMORY
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?

Awards:
Member Note: I wrote the lyrics and my co-writer, Carlene McDearis-Wentworth, wrote the music.

GO MAKE IT HAPPEN
GO MAKE IT HAPPEN
She dreams ‘bout leaving this backwoods town
Bare feet resting on that old porch swing
Tired and restless, just hangin’ out
Time flies, this year she’ll be fourteen
Saving pennies in a Mason jar
In a few short years, she’ll hit the road
Soon she’ll have that new, used car
and she won’t be drivin’ slow
CHORUS
She'll know when it's time to go
Been plannin since she was nine years old
Nobody said growin up ain't tough
Hold on tight, girl, don't give up
Take your chances to be heard
Don’t matter where in the world
you live, you got something good to give
Go make it happen
She’ll make a difference and make her mark
She knows it’s gonna take a lot of hard work
She’s got a strong mind, and a kind heart and big ideas for a small town girl
She’ll turn 18, take that one road out
Her friends’ll say “You won’t be gone long”
They’ll think she’ll be back around
But they’ll be wrong
CHORUS:
Bridge:
I know that look on her face It’s something that I see
When I look in the mirror
That girl is me
CHORUS:
She'll know when it's time to go
Been plannin since she was nine years old
Nobody said growin up ain't tough
Hold on tight, girl, don't give up
Take your chances to be heard
Don’t matter where in the world
you live, you got something good to give
Make it happen

GOTTA LOTTA PEOPLE
You’re not alone
Feeling alone
We all get lost in deserts
Can’t find our way home
Don’t lose sight
Open your weary eyes
You’ll see that you had company with you the whole time
Chorus
Cause you Gotta lotta People, Gotta lotta people, Gotta lotta people who love you
Gotta lotta people, Gotta lotta people sending prayers up for you
Gotta lotta people, Gotta lotta people cheering from the back pews
Gotta lotta people, Gotta lotta people, Gotta lotta people who love you
Wherever you are
Never forget
You can overcome
Even if you’re not there yet
If you’re barely hanging on
Got some climbing to do
Grab one of those hands
That are reaching out to you
Chorus
There’s a crowd in your corner
and God watching over
His angels are all around

HALFTIME
Halftime
V1
9 years out of 18,
Not too bad a score,
But I think you know by now son,
I always wanted more,
V2
Took a knee so many nights,
On Armour Avenue,
Mom and I couldn’t make it right,
And now it’s half-time with you,
Chorus
I learned a half made a hole,
In this old heart of mine,
And even though you’re grown,
And I know you’re doing fine,
Son, I wanted more than half- time with you,
V3
Looked back on our game plan,
Replayed the highlights in my mind,
That play clock never lied,
I just ran out of time with you,
Chorus
I learned a half made a hole,
In this old heart of mine,
And even though you’re grown,
And I know you’re doing fine,
Son, I wanted more than half-time with you,
Bridge
20 years down the line,
Little ones of your own,
Hope you never have half-times,
Or a game you play alone,
Chorus
I learned a half made a hole,
In this old heart of mine,
And even though you’re grown,
And I know you’re doing fine,
Son, I wanted more than half-time with you,
Son, I wanted more than half-time with you

I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND - POP
[Verse]
I never knew my heart could race
With every smile you bring my way
We laughed and talked for hours at night
But now there's something, I need to bring to light
[Verse 2]
We've shared our dreams and all our fears
every joy and all the tears
But something's changed the way I feel, now
I need to tell you, but I don't know how
[Chorus]
I'm in love with my best friend
I fell hard and it won't end
now Every moment feels so new
Oh Oh Oh my friend...I'm in love..
with you
[Verse 3]
The way you move the way you speak
Makes my knees go weak
I’m terrified to tell you how I feel
when I do it will make it, so real
[Bridge]
If I say it will you stay?
Or will our world just fade away?
It's risky but I swear it's true
My heart belongs only to you
Caught in this whirlpool of desire
Your touch sets my soul on fire.. (on fire..)
[Chorus]
I'm in love with my best friend
I fell hard and it won't end
now Every moment feels so new
Oh Oh Oh my friend...I'm in love..
with you
I'm in love with you...

I'M SHATTERED
I'm Shattered
Don't know what to say
Got ghosted today
What a cruel game to play
Why did you treat me this way
Never expected this
Tore my heart into bits
How could you quit
Missed the goodbye kiss
I'm shattered
Broken apart
Don't know where to go
To hide my wounded heart
I need some time to come up for air
I need to rest my tortured soul somewhere
Where do I go from here
My path's so unclear
All our plans have disappeared
I've got to face my own fears

IN MY HEART
IN MY HEART
V1
Our final moment's come
when your gone Ill be lonely
offer up a silent prayer
you no longer know me
As I look into your eyes
my heart is breaking slowly
Say - one last goodbye
My tears speak these words inside.
Chorus
I've loved you more than anyone could love someone
My life, my love, the truth that I depended on
when the nights are dark and longer
and your'e not here to make me stronger
I'll still hold you close - in my heart
V2
My mind replays the past
when you and I were falling
spending hours every day
laughing, loving,talking
I miss you more than I can bear
and I'll miss you more each morning
if you could feel the pain I hide
I'm not OK , but I'll survive
Chorus
Chorus
I've loved you more than anyone could love someone
My life, my love, the truth that I depended on

JUST ANOTHER TATTOO
Just Another Tattoo
Writers: Adam Byrd/Sarah Motes Ashley
V1:
Some say I got ‘em for attention
Say it’s my way of fittin’ in
But no one ever gives me time to mention they’re more than just ink on my skin
Where do I begin
Here on my shoulder says “sisters”
‘Cause family means the world to me
And I got this broken heart on my right ankle that night in Abilene...when I turned 18
CH:
The needle always goes in deep
Kinda like the memories do
Like markers on a map to me of where I’ve been and my history
Even though I’ve got more than a few
None of them is just another tattoo
V2:
Here’s my guitar that Nana bought me
She showed me how to live out loud
Says right here she’s singing sweet in heaven
She taught me how, I’m gonna make her proud
This broken mirrors my reminder
Of all the girls I’ve tried to be
I am so much more than my reflection
What really counts is underneath
More than skin deep
CH:
The needle always goes in deep
Kinda like the memories do
Like markers on a map to me of where I’ve been and my history
Even though I’ve got more than a few
None of them is just another tattoo
BR:
I still got spaces ‘cause there’s more places to be
More life stories waiting for me
I can’t wait to see the mark they leave on me
CH:
The needle always goes in deep
Kinda like the memories do
Like markers on a map to me of where I’ve been and my history
Even though I’ve got more than a few

JUST LIKE MAGIC
JUST LIKE MAGIC
By Cassie Leuffen
V1
Boy there’s something about you that’s like magic (ohh)
Whatever that “it” factor is, you have it (yeah)
When we lock eyes I feel my heartbeat racing (ooh)
With your lips touching mine I’m levitating–
CHORUS
Just like magic
Like you jumped right out of a hat trick
Like you wrote your name on a napkin
And I grabbed it
And it became the King of Hearts
Just like magic
Like we’re doing acrobatics
Got me hanging on like static
Gotta have it
As we swing above the fire
And through the smoke you pull me close
It’s almost like you care
But when the curtain closes
You just “poof” and disappear
Just like magiiiiiiic
Just like magic
V2
Boy there’s something about you that’s like magic (ohh)
And every girl around you’s gotta have it (yeah)
You got us all in a hallway full of mirrors (ooh)
Hoping that you’ll finally see us clearer
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Yeah boy– you put on quite show
Even though I know it’s all a lie
So boy it’s time to let me go
Let’s how ‘em how this dove of yours can fly–

Outro (repeat)

LISTEN TO COUNTRY
Listen to Country
VERSE 1:
Like to dance in the kitchen while i’m whistlin along to Dolly
In my bedroom gettin ready always throw a little Chesney on
Crank it up while I’m driving cuz I’m havin a Shania party
A little twang, little steel kinda feel, yeah you can’t go wrong
But
Chorus
Have you ever heard the rain fall on an old tin roof
Or the birds chirpin like they’re talkin to you
Sound of daddy’s truck
As he’s pullin up
Kickin dust on our gravel road
You ever heard the church bells, or the friday night thunder
It’s the soundtrack of a small town summer
With the radio off
Yeah, its kinda funny
But you don’t need songs to listen to country
VERSE 2:
Like hearin mama hummin while she’s stirrin up her famous peach tea
And catchin hellos every place you go cause they all know your name
And the campfire roaring while you’re pouring all your friends some whiskey
We love some Keith and Strait and Carrie is great but hey at the end of the day…
Chorus
Yeah I’d say I’m a sucker for the classics
But nothing cuts right through the static
Like

NEVER DID
Never Did
V1
We were high on honeymoon low on money,
Bittersweet love, that was our twenties,
Old enough, but too young to commit,
Thought we’d always stay together,
But we never did,
V2
Yeah we held each other so close, danced when it rained,
Shared the tears, through our laughter and pain,
Dreamed of a big house and little kids,
Promised to give her the world, forever,
But I never did,
Chorus
Never did undo our done and gone,
She learned to let go, I tried to moved on,
But I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
V3
Just looking back now, on us then,
Wishing we were one all over again,
Can’t forgot them last words from her lips,
Swore she’d stay in touch when I left,
But she never did,
Chorus
Never did undo our done and gone,
I let her go she tried to hold on,
And I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
Bridge
She went out into the world,
Thought I lost my country girl,
God brought her back in the end,
Never thought she’d be back in my arms again
Chorus
Cause I.. Never did undo our done and gone,
I let her go, she tried to hold on
And I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
To the why we never did,
Never did I pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
We never did,
Never did....

Farmer’s field
Underneath a summer
shower
And I see both of our
initials
By a heart on that water
tower
I see you in my rear view
I see you out the front too
Every time I open my eyes
Oh baby I’m
Chorus
I’m seein’ things
You got me
Seein’ things
Everywhere I look
I see your face
I can’t even sleep
Cuz you’re in my dreams
Haunted by your leaving
You said you were moving
On
Well, why don’t you leave
Then
You’re stuck up in my brain
All those memories I can’t
Erase
You make me hallucinate
Girl you got me
Seein’ things
Seein’ things
Yeah, you got me
Seein’ things
Verse 2
I see you sitting in that
Corner booth
Sipping on a whiskey sour
I see you double fisting
Two
But this sure ain’t a happy
Hour
I see your tail lights
Fading
That screen door
Slamming
No matter where I go
I can’t escape it
Aww, baby I’m
Chorus
I’m seein’ things
You got me
seein’ things
Everywhere I look
I see your face
I can’t even sleep
Because you’re in my dreams
Haunted by your leaving
You said you were moving
On
Well, why don’t you leave then
You’re stuck up in my brain
All those memories I can’t
Erase
You make me hallucinate
Girl you got me
Seein’ things
Seein’ things
Yeah, you got me
Seein’ things
Bridge
Girl your absence
Is like absinthe
I think I’ve found
A sixth sense, cuz
Chorus
Im seein’ things
You got me
Seein’ things
Everywhere I look
I see your face
I can’t even sleep
Because you’re in my
Dreams
Haunted by your leaving
You said you were moving
On
Well, why don’t you leave
Then
You’re stuck up in my brain
All those memories I can’t
Erase
You make me hallucinate
Girl you got me
Seein’ things
Seein’ things
Haunted by your leaving
You said you were moving on
Well, why don’t you leave
Then
You’re stuck up in my brain
All those memories I can’t
Erase
You make me hallucinate
Girl you got me
Seein’ Things
Seein’ Things
Yeah you got me
Seein’ things
Bridge
Girl your absence
Is like absinth
I think I’ve found
A sixth sense, cuz
Chorus
I’m seein’ things
You got me
Seein’ things
Everywhere I look
I see your face
I can’t even sleep
Because youre in my dreams
Haunted by your leaving
You said you were moving
On
Well, why don’t you leave
Then
You’re stuck up in my brain
All those memories I can’t erase
You make me hallucinate
Girl you got me
Seein’ things
Seein’ things

SOMEONE TO HOLD

SOMEONE TO HOLD
SOMEONE TO HOLD
In times like these,
When the world’s gone mad,
And I can’t even count,
All the heartaches I’ve had.
When skies turn gray
And day fades to night,
What would it take
To bring back the light?
SOMEONE TO HOLD
Someone to touch
Someone to care for
Am I asking too much?
A simple embrace
Warmth from the cold
No strings or promises
Just SOMEONE TO HOLD
In these crazy moments,
As life rushes past,
And I can’t even tell,
One day from the last.
When people pass by
Like I don’t exist,
My heart yearns to find,
The one thing I’ve missed
REPEAT CHORUS
Someone to say ‘good morning’ to,
Or someone to kiss good night.
I’ll keep searching ’til I finally find.
REPEAT CHORUS

SUMMER HIGH
Summer High
Henna tattoos that say “forever”
Who needs a fortune teller
2 for 1 margaritas from 4 to 6
An Ocean breeze and a salty kiss
The whole world lights up in the sunshine
I get summer high
Buzzin’ on the beach life
Laying in the sun getting solar fried
Nights on the sand by the bonfire
Bob Marley stirring up a one love choir
It’s my favorite state of mind
I get summer high
Boardwalk ferris wheel stuck at the top
Laughin’ like kids when your sandal dropped
Late night dips under the moon
With nothing on but a summer attitude
Thoughts of winter blown out of our minds
Chorus
I’ll meet you under the pier same time next year
And we’ll get summer high
Buzzin’ on the beach life
Laying in the sun getting solar fried
Nights on the sand by the bonfire
Bob Marley stirring up a one love choir
It’s my favorite state of mind
It’s my mental sunshine
I get summer high
Buzzin’ on the beach life
I get summer high
I get summer high

THAT WAS YOU
That Was You
V1
Like fireworks bursting into the night sky
You could light up any room
With your warm friendly smile
I could find you in a crowd
You were always standing out
That was you
That was you
Chorus:
You were hitching a ride up to cloud nine
Barely hitting your stride in your prime
Just living life and flying high
When I look up and see a shooting star pass by
Then I’ll take it as a sign
No doubt in my mind
That was you
That was you
V2
Never heard you say you regretted anything
You were busy chasing dreams
And living life in the fast lane
I could find you in a crowd
You were always standing out
That was you
That was you
Chorus:
You were hitching a ride up to cloud nine
Barely hitting your stride in your prime
Just living life and flying high
When I look up and see a shooting star pass by
Then I’ll take it as a sign
No doubt in my mind
That was you
That was you
One day I’ll see you at that pearly fence
Maybe then it’ll all make sense
Chorus:
You were hitching a ride up to cloud nine
Barely hitting your stride in your prime
Just living life and flying high
When I look up and see a shooting star pass by
Then I’ll take it as a sign
No doubt in my mind
That was you
That was you

THE VOICE YOU CAN'T IGNORE - NEW
The Voice You Can’t Ignore
(Verse 1)
Hey world..can you see me for who I am
I'm not your billboard, not your brand
I’m not a sellout I'm not a lier
I’m not the match, I’m the fire.
(Verse 2)
I traded my dresses for leathers and chains
Keep your rainbows, I’ll take the pouring rain
I’m nobody’s baby I’m nobody’s girl
The world’s my oyster and I’m the pearl
(Chorus)
I'm the anthem, I'm the fight,
I'm the siren in the night.
I'm a rebel, hear me roar,
I'm the voice you can't ignore
(Verse 3)
I’ll write my story, on a graffiti wall
I’ll speak my mind, and never fall
I'm not the silence, I'm the scream
I'm the queen of my own dream
(Chorus)
I'm the anthem, I'm the fight,
I'm the siren in the night.
I'm a rebel, hear me roar,
I'm the voice you can't ignore
(Bridge)
I don't need your approval, don’t need your love
Don’t look down because I'm above
I'm the story yet untold
I'm the future, I'm the bold.
(Chorus)
I'm the anthem, I'm the fight,
I'm the siren in the night.
I'm a rebel, hear me roar,
I'm the voice you can't ignore
(Outro)
So watch me as I rage,
Don’t try to keep me in your cage
I’m the sound that shakes you to the core.
I'm the voice you can't ignore

THE WAY YOU'D WANT ME TO
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

THINGS I NEVER KNEW
Things I Never Knew
Sunday morning tunes on the radio taking
My mind on rewind, replaying
You and me, on repeat, now it’s just a memory
Looking back, baby how’d I miss that
You shined brighter than a mid-July Technicolor sunset
I had it all, almost, but how was I to know
That you would’ve changed my life
And I should’ve held on tight
But I let you slip right out of my hands
Never had one clue what I had
And girl I know I could spend
Forever wanting you back again
Baby now what would I do
With all the things I, things I never knew
Things I never knew
Words I never said, all up in my head
Kicking myself that I ever left you wondering
When it comes to us I was, so oblivious
That you would’ve changed my life
And I should’ve held on tight
But I let you slip right out of my hands
Never had one clue what I had
And girl I know I could spend
Forever wanting you back again
Baby now what would I do
With all the things I never knew
And I never saw it coming
And I never saw you going
If it’s any consolation
It's killing me just knowing
That you would’ve changed my life
And I should've held on tight
But I let you slip right out of my hands
Never had one clue what I had
And girl I know I could spend
Forever wanting you back again
Baby now what I would I do
With all the things I, things I never knew
Things I never knew
Things I never knew
Things I never knew

TO BE HONEST
TO BE HONEST - 97 BPM
By Cassie Leuffen
V1
To be honest,
You seemed like the dream guy I always wanted
You sold me on a lie and boy I bought it
But that was back when your red flags were green
Now when you kiss me,
I try to act like I don’t taste the whiskey
And all the lives you live when you’re not with me
And how it hurts to look down at my ring
When all I can think–
CHORUS
Is how you looked so good on paper
Checked my boxes, made me feel
Like forever’s in our favor
Long as you’re behind the wheel
And how I watched you like a movie
Circled you just like a comet
Bet you thought you’d never lose me,
But you never knew how to be, honest
V2
And if I’m truthful,
You only kept me ‘round cuz I was useful
I started having doubts, but your approval
Was powerful enough to make me stay
Now when you hug me
It feels like someone struggling to love me,
That girl we saw at lunch today, who was she?
She looked at me like I was in her way
But all I can say–
Chorus
Bridge
So since I know you’ll never shoot - me - straight
I’m letting go, but the next guy I date…
Chorus (alt.) (Breakdown)
May not look so good on paper,
Check my boxes, but I’ll feel
Like forever’s in our favor
Long as he’s behind the wheel
And he’ll watch me like a movie
Circle me just like a comet
Cuz he’ll like that unlike you, see
All he’s gotta do’s be– honest
Yeah that’s all he’s gotta do,
All he's gotta do,
To be honest

TRUMORS
TRUMORS
It ain’t gossip going around
It ain’t just made up accusations
Aimed at trashing my reputation
Lots of hearsay in this town
If you’re holding on to any doubt
Baby let me spell it out
It’s all Trumors
Everything they’re saying is
A trumor
I’m on to someone new and over you
So baby go do what you wanna do
It’s all trumors
You say someone saw me at the back of the bar
In a flirtatious situation
And you’re looking for a confirmation
Well I’m guilty as charged
I could try to deny or try to lie
But why on earth would I?
When it’s all Trumors
Everything they’re saying is
A trumor
I’m on to someone new and over you
So baby go do what you wanna do
It’s all trumors
People love to talk about cheaters
And it wasn’t that long ago
You were all over that grapevine
And baby what do you know
It was all true
It was all, it was all
Baby It was all, it was all
It was all
Trumors
Everything they’re saying is
A trumour
I'm onto someone new and over you
So baby go do what you wanna do
With these trumors
Trumors
It's all trumors
Trumors

UNDO
“Undo”
(Jason Metzner & Brendan Metzner)
V1
My pick up the pieces team is out there waitin’ in the drive for me
Gonna take me out and drive you outta my mind
They say go on take your medicine
Three tequila shots and a cute boy’s hand
And dance his memory away tonight
PC: I got two words into a
text that I was writin’ you
but we just pulled up to the bar
and I feel brand new
Chorus:
I’m hittin’ undo, got no more you, don’t gotta think it through
Unglued my girls and guns is all I’m stickin’ to
unsealed top shelf coming down
Raise ‘em up make ‘em touch do another round
I’m unwith you here and anyone can see
Losing you didn’t undo me
V2:
A fresh drink showed up on the bar and
from a few stools down a guy gave me a nod
He said it takes a village to drown a memory
I thought back then to the better days
When you talked big game like rings and babies
I’m takin’ this one then I ain’t gonna think of you
Chorus:
I’m hittin’ undo, got no more you, don’t gotta think it through
Unglued my girls and guns is all I’m stickin’ to
unsealed top shelf coming down
Raise ‘em up make ‘em touch do another round
I’m unwith you here and anyone can see
Losing you didn’t undo me
Bridge:
Yeah we all make mistakes but
It ain’t hard to erase them
All it takes is one..
It just takes one click!
Chorus:
I’m hittin’ undo, got no more you, don’t gotta think it through
Unglued my girls and guns is all I’m stickin’ to
unsealed top shelf coming down
Raise ‘em up make ‘em touch do another round
I’m unwith you here and anyone can see
Losing you didn’t undo me

V1 (FEMALE)
You and I had a thing for a minute, never quite got off the ground
Yeah I know we were close, hit our limit, but I still see you around
And even if I’m not your forever
That don’t mean it’s gotta be never
Can’t let go of all that together
Knowing you’re in town…
Chorus (BOTH TOGETHER)
Baby if you want me, I’ll be
Ready if you call me, you’ll see

Middle of the night

Whenever you neeee-eeed
You can want me
Baby
Just saying it’s okay to want me
Want me
V2 (MALE)
We were cool, we were hot, took a shot, but it wasn’t gonna last
We were “ooo, maybe not,” but I want you to know I got your back
And even though we didn’t go the distance
Hope you know that I still miss ya
Need a shoulder, girl how’s this one?
You know where I’m at…
Chorus (BOTH TOGETHER)

WINDSHIELD
You’re my refuge from the rain, my protector from the wind
You wipe my tears away and let the sunshine in
When life starts throwing stones you keep me safe from harm
I still feel secure when I’m in your arms
Chorus
You're my windshield, tough as diamonds
And I know our love is shatterproof
When we’re together everything’s more vibrant
I can see forever with you
Verse 2
When things get too intense and we don’t know where to turn
You say it’s ok we’ve both got a lot to learn
We help each other through and support each other’s goals
You’re my best friend, the only one who can read my soul
Chorus
You're my windshield, tough as diamonds
And I know our love is shatterproof
When we’re together everything’s more vibrant
I can see forever with you
Bridge
Sometimes we’re gonna have a different point of view
But we’ll talk it out and find a way cause our love is true
Chorus
You're my windshield, tough as diamonds
And I know our love is shatterproof
When we’re together everything’s more vibrant
I can see forever with you
