Well, every step is a misstep And every right is a wrong And every time I write a line and Try to sing it out It never works for the music And every night is a sunset That I forget to see Sometimes I just can't Figure out life For the life of me But you make me feel like I could get it right If I try and I try again I don't remember the last time I felt confident But you make me feel like I am close enough So as long as you don't mind I think that's good enough for me I feel better that way But I think I could do Almost anything I wanted to As long as you're by my side I think I could do Almost anything I wanted to As long as you're by my side I'm through trying to be perfect 'Cuz I don't care anymore And I will crawl through the window And out the fire escape If I can't open any doors And if I'm talking nonsense At least I still got my voice I will not take what I'm given if I know I have a choice 'Cuz you make me feel like I could get it right If I try and I try, and I try it again I don't remember the last time I felt this confident But you make me feel like I am close enough So as long as you don't mind I think that's good enough for me I feel better that way But I think I could do Almost anything I wanted to As long as you're by my side I think I could do Almost anything I wanted to As long as you're by my side Well, every step is a misstep And every right is a wrong And every time I write a line and Try to sing it out It never works for the song But I think I could do Almost anything I wanted to As long as you're by my side I think I could do Almost anything I wanted to As long as you're by my side

Don't mistake my silence Don't put words in my mouth I can't get away From what you think I say Don't pretend like you're innocent 'Cuz I won't look the other way I can't get away From the awful things you do And even when I shut up You can't help but bring me down But I won't let you bring me down No, I won't let you bring me down today What gives you the right To think you know who I am? There is so much more Than you could ever see So don't mistake my silence Don't you dare put words in my mouth I will get away From all the things you say And I swear to God above That you will never bring me down. 'Cuz I won't let you bring me down, No, I won't let you bring me down today

When the laughter is a veil To cover up the feelings When the smiles fade away In the night When you can't stand the silence But it's all that you have When you're acting brave but Dying of fright Cause no one really knows And I hope it never shows As long as they all believe By the time I start to leave To my home up away in the sky How lucky I am, that they will never fly To my home up away in the sky Where I get to hide Sit alone and cry How I love my home In the sky They think that I'm a winner But I'm losing my mind 'Cause I just don't seem to shine Any more They all disagree And I don't deserve them They're better to me than I should Ever ask for And still I need to be alone In spite of the kindness they've shown Tryin' not to show that I need To spread my wings and leave For my home up away in the sky How lucky I am, that they will never fly To my home up away in the sky Where I get to hide I sit alone and cry How I love my home In the sky

One afternoon for the two of us Then we packed our bags And drifted away You'll take the plane, I can't afford the bus But it was worth it for that one Priceless day Our friends and family don't seem too surprised At the sudden end of what was meant to be We were the only ones who never realized That you were never really meant for me And it was lovely while it lasted But now the time is gone And I guess it's best for both of us To be movin' on The Summer came and went so fast We both found out this couldn't last Our love was just a short, sweet song We swore that we would both stay in touch But I guess we've broken Promises before I gave you all my best wishes and such You won't let me give you Anything more So here we are alone, the way it oughta be Knowin' you I think that you'll be alright Although I'm not sure the same is true for me You're still in my mind although you're out of sight And it was lovely while it lasted But now the time is gone And I guess it's best for both of us To be movin' on The Summer came and went so fast We both found out this couldn't last Our love was just a short, sweet song

Not Like Me 04:29
Even if I can't Find the words to say In my heart I know you Feel the same way I could try to speak my mind But I know it won't ring true I was never one to live for fun I was never brave like you But I'm so glad you're not like me I'm so glad that you live free I try to smile because you can And I try to make you understand I guess I'm just not built like you There's so many things I can't do Unlike you, fortunately I'm so glad you're not like me Take your time and slow it down I just now came back to town You don't have to pretend I'm something To be proud of I won't stay and cramp your style I'll be goin' in a little while And even though I'll be far away Don't you forgot my love I'm so glad you're not like me I'm so glad that you live free And now I smile because you can And I finally understand I guess I'm just not built like you There's so many things I can't do Unlike you, fortunately I'm so glad you're not like me

And I don't know Where to go from here Things are no longer Clear for me I see you everywhere You're inside my head All the time Sometimes I wish we were together Sometimes I wish we could go back And I think about how good you've always Been to me And how I wish I was better for you I wanna feel your face, I wanna hear you sigh And I wanna touch your hair, I wish I could be there To reach you and say That everything's alright But I know that You're so far away There's no one here for me Today, anyway Why do you make me dream The dreams that I Always do? And if I spoke to you, would you hear me? If I listened to you, would you know? And if I really tried to tell you Would you care that I let my feelings show? I wanna feel your face, I wanna hear you sigh I wanna touch your hair, I wish I could be there To reach you and say That everything's alright

it's been a long year You've missed a lot Crops didn't grow so well Must have been too hot Nothing grows like they used to When you were here Except my little sister You'd be so proud She's got mama's eyes That's why no tears are allowed Even today But nothin's the same Nothin' feels right When you can't hold me close And tell me good night I'm tryin' my best Just for you But I've got some good friends They always come through And I know you'd love them too If you were here It's getting late I'll see you soon Tomorrow night When I look up at the moon And I'll pray But nothin's the same, No nothin' feels right But I will hold on For at least one more night My memories of you I'll forever hold dear Of a time long gone When you were here When you were here.
