Therapy: The Love Sessions

2016

My name is Shamora

It’s just Shamora, I’m just Shamora

What type of an artist am I?

Ummm, You know this is interesting because I have this conversation a lot and people sometimes try to put me in maybe like a certain category. But I really just try to sum it up and say, you know what, I love the Lord, He’s given me a gift. The artist that I am would be an inspirational artist, an artist who tries to convey the love of the Lord and the love that we should have for each other through appropriate love songs and then love songs about our relationship with the Lord and sometimes our personal ups and downs that we may experience in that but, how He’s there for us. So, just really to be an artist who’s inspirational, uplifting, and to encourage you and minister through my music in a way that maybe hasn’t really been experienced before.

Blown over

Knocked me down

Trampled over

Hit the ground

But I get back up

By Your hand

And I stand up again

Take me to the water

Take me out real deep

Ain’t nothin’ to be scared of

Long as you’re with me

And when the wind blows

I hope that it takes us far

They say a hurricane’s comin’

And I might get scared

But I know there’s no turnin’ back now

My heart’s wide open

And there’s no slowin’ down

Oh, I’m smashin’ into you

Oh I’m fallin’ into you

As fast as I can, I’m runnin’

As hard as I can, I’m fallin’

And I don’t care about being hurt

Oh I just wanna be submerged

I’m drownin’

In your love,  your love, your love

I’m drownin’

In your love,  your love, your love

I’m drownin’

Don’t you send a lifeguard

‘Cause I’m not dyin’

This is how we are

But they don’t understand

Might seem crazy

But I’m safe where I am

Floatin’ with my baby

Just as the tide rolls in

Oh, I’m smashin’ into you

Oh I’m fallin’ into you

As fast as I can, I’m runnin’

As hard as I can, I’m fallin’

And I don’t care about being hurt

Oh I just wanna be submerged

I’m drownin’

In your love,  your love, your love

I’m drownin’

In your love,  your love, your love

I’m drownin’

Baby we’re so deep

But keep goin’

‘Til I just can’t breath

And I’m hopeless

Down to my last heartbeat

There’s still life left in me

It’s so dark that I can’t see

I know you’ll catch me

 (2Xs)

Oh, I’m smashin’ into you

Oh I’m fallin’ into you

As fast as I can, I’m runnin’

As hard as I can, I’m fallin’

And I don’t care about being hurt

Oh I just wanna be submerged

I’m drownin’

In your love,  your love, your love

I’m drownin’

In your love,  your love, your love

I’m drownin’

Many done tried but they failed

‘Cause they can’t make me someone else

See I’ma be true to myself

I know what’s right for me

At least I did until I met you

Thought I had it figured out

But you done turned me upside down

And now you got me talkin’ ‘bout

How I wanna be with you

Take me away to another place

I’ll close my eyes and you’ll just kiss us away

I’m not afraid

Just lead the way

Take me away, Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

I ain’t never felt like this

You take me somewhere I never been

And everyone around knows it

I ain’t even tryin’ to deny it

‘Cause ever since I met you

The sky ain’t never been so blue

The sun don’t even shine like you

No matter what I might go through

It’s ok ‘cause I got you

To take me away

Take me away to another place

I’ll close my eyes and you’ll just kiss us away

I’m not afraid

Just lead the way

Take me away, Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

To another place

Don’t care where we’re goin’

Boy take me away

‘Cause your love done set me free

Unlocked the hurt that was holdin’ me

So I’ma follow

Baby you gon’ lead

(2Xs)

Take me away to another place

I’ll close my eyes and you’ll just kiss us away

I’m not afraid

Just lead the way

Take me away, Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

I been sittin’ here

Writtin’ you this letter through a million tears

Baby I’m drownin’ here

And the achin’ in my chest is so severe

It’s like

I ain’t been conditioned

Wasn’t ready for love’s ammunition

And the bruises that I keep on gettin’

Oh they’re startin’ to wear me down

Broke up

Shook up

I’m all torn up

Love

Done knocked me out

Down for the count

Got no more rounds

Love

Done knocked me out

I’m broke up

Shook up

I’m all torn up

‘Cause love

Done knocked me out

Down for the count

Got no more rounds

‘Cause love

Done knocked me out

Time out

Gotta take a little bit to think about

Just what move I’m ‘gon make

To lead me to the right road I’m ‘gon take

It’s like I keep dodgin’ punches

And now I’m so tired of runnin’

Listen I gotta do somethin’

So I’m throwin’ the towel in

Hear what I’m sayin’

Broke up

Shook up

I’m all torn up

Love

Done knocked me out

Down for the count

Got no more rounds

Love

Done knocked me out

‘Cause love

Done knocked me out

Down for the count

Got no more rounds

‘Cause love

Done knocked me out

This is the last round

Boy you’ve take all of me

And burned me out

And I don’t wanna try

Got no more tears to cry

I’m walkin’ out

‘Cause there’s no more love to give

And my heart can’t take this

So go on start the countdown

‘Cause I been knocked out

(3Xs)

Broke up

You lie, I hurt

You comfort me I trust you

I need you, you’re not there

I break down

Tired of suffering

I don’t deserve this

Boy I gave my heart

When I shoulda kept it locked inside

I wish I didn’t love you so much

I wish I could just let you go

But when you come near me

I just

I get weak and I can’t give up

‘Cause somethin’ in your eyes says stay

And somethin’ in your arms says don’t let go

If I could get me heart to change

I would walk away

But I love you so much

You cut me, I bleed

You help me, you heal me

You make me cry

And you’re there to wipe the tears from my eyes

I’m tired of suffering

I don’t deserve this, no

Boy I gave my heart when I shoulda kept it locked inside

I wish I didn’t love you so much

I wish I just could let you go

But when you come near me

I just

I get weak and I can’t give up

‘Cause somethin’ in your eyes says stay

And somethin’ in your arms says don’t let go

If I could get me heart to change

I would walk away

But I love you so much

If I have just one regret

I wish that I had listened

To my head and not my heart

Then I wouldn’t be so torn apart

And trapped here like a prisoner in love

Oh, this hurts deep

And I ain’t never ‘gon be free

Oh, I wish

I wish I didn’t love you

So much

I wish I could get out of this

 (2Xs)

I wish I didn’t love you so much

I wish I just could let you go

But when you come near me

I just

I get weak and I can’t give up

‘Cause somethin’ in your eyes says stay

And somethin’ in your arms says don’t let go

If I could get me heart to change

I would walk away

But I love you so much

We’ve been playin’ house

It’s like cat and mouse

I’m your wife but you’re not my spouse

I cook and do the dishes

Still feel like your mistress

Run your bath water

When you’re down, boy I console ya

Give you everything, cause you’re my king

I’ll do anything boy, to be your queen

So open up your heart and let me in

I wanna mean more to you

You don’t run the streets

‘Cause you been there and done that

Comin’ home to me ’cause this is where it’s all at

But when I try to get close

You start lettin’ go

I can’t stand this push and pull

Boy let’s stop this tug of war

Baby

Why you keep on callin’ me baby

If you won’t let me love you

This is crazy

You don’t have to be afraid

I ain’t hurtin’  you that way

And baby you are my king

So just let me be your queen

And we can rule anything

Love story

Starring me and you

It’s our story and it’s beautiful

Phase one

We fall in love, we lose our way, we suffer great

But it’s beautiful

And when it’s late

And we’re far apart

We’re both wonderin’ how did we go wrong

‘Cause you need me

You’re still mine

Our hearts, they never could let go

We broke this, but Oh baby

Maybe we could make it alright

What if we tried again

Could we do it better

What if we loved again

Would we do it better

‘Cause boy you know our love could be

The greatest story ever told

If you and me

We could do it better

Better than Romeo and Juliet

Better than lovers that just met

And fell in love at first sight

Boy we can do better

We’ve already rehearsed the roles

And made all of the mistakes, so

So we could do better this time

‘Cause you need me

You’re still mine

Our hearts, they never could let go

We broke this, but Oh baby

Maybe we could make it alright

Cause you need me

You’re still mine

Our hearts, they never could let go

We broke this, but Oh baby

Maybe we could make it alright

What if we tried again

Could we do it better

What if we loved again

Would we do it better

‘Cause boy you know our love could be

The greatest story ever told

If you and me

We could do it better

Better than what we had

Better than where we’re at

Baby we could do so much better

This time we could trust

This time we could do us better

This time we could both open wide

And really go deep inside

I want to

Don’t you want to

 (2Xs)

Cause you need me

You’re still mine

Our hearts, they never could let go

We broke this, but Oh baby

Maybe we could make it alright

What if we tried again

Could we do it better

What if we loved again

Would we do it better

‘Cause boy you know our love could be

The greatest story ever told

If you and me

We could do it better

Thinkin’ ‘bout what we been through

Thinkin’ ‘bout where we headed to

Thinkin’ that breakin’ up is just

Somethin’ that I don’t wanna do

Thinkin’ this time I crossed the line

Tellin’ you I don’t care was a lie

Thinkin’ I been hurt before but,

You can fix me if you try

And it’s a chance that you’ll be takin’

But think about the love you’re gainin’

So don’t just walk away

Stay with me

‘Cause you don’t ever make me cry

Stay with me

Don’t you ever say goodbye

Stay with me

And love me all of your life

Stay with me

And be the man that makes it right

Stay with me

Thinkin’ ‘bout old relationships

Thinkin’ ‘bout how I felt then

Thinkin’ how now’s so different

It’s like you turned the light on

Oh and my heart is open wide

But I still get scared sometimes

That’s when I start to hesitate

So you pull but I push you away

Oh, without you there’d be an ache here

You need to know I want you here

So baby listen to me

Stay with me

‘Cause you don’t ever make me cry

Stay with me

Don’t you ever say goodbye

Stay with me

And love me all of your life

Stay with me

And be the man that makes it right

Stay with me

Stay when everything’s all good

Oh and stay when it’s bad

Stay when it looks like

This ain’t ‘gonna last

When I say I’m through tryin’

Stay and keep fightin’

Stay and don’t you go away

Stay ‘cause I love you like crazy

Baby please

(2Xs)

Stay with me

‘Cause you don’t ever make me cry

Stay with me

Don’t you ever say goodbye

Stay with me

And love me all of your life

Stay with me

And be the man that makes it right

Stay with me

 (3Xs)

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me

And be the man that makes it right

Stay with me

I’m a woman

And when I love

I love hard with all I have

And when I’m open, there ain’t nothin’ in my world

That you can’t have

So you asked for my heart

And I opened that part

And I gave it all

And withholding nothin’

I was faithful and trustin’

I hate that you broke that

And it makes me mad ‘cause

I wanna hate you

But I know you’re sorry for this one mistake

And you’re not perfect

But you’re a good man

And I know you love me

And it’s lonely where I am

I’m comin’ home

I’ve tried to let you go

But I still love you

And I can’t move on

I’ve tried to let you go

But I still love you

Here I am

I’m a woman

That wants to find a way back to you

And sometimes I

Can’t stop cryin’

And I just wanna run back to you

And it makes me sad

‘Cause I wanna trust you

And forget that you made a mistake

You tried to fix us

I wouldn’t let you try

Tried life without you and it made my heart break

I’m comin’ home

I’ve tried to let you go

But I still love you

And I can’t move on

I’ve tried to let you go

But I still love you

How do I let you go and

How can I live without you

When my heart still believes

I tried to

But I just can’t say goodbye

‘Cause I can still feel your heartbeat

And I know that it’s for me

(2Xs)

I’m comin’ home

I’ve tried to let you go

But I still love you

And I can’t move on

I’ve tried to let you go

But I still love you

I’m a woman

And when I love

I love hard with all I have

And when I’m open

There ain’t nothin’ in Shamora’s world

That you can’t have

Baby I still love you

Boy I wanna be with you so

Just come on and get me

And save me from a broken heart

I shouldn’t have all these scars

And promise you ‘gon love me like

That boy I dream about at night

But never thought it possible

Sweep me off my feet

Be my superman

Time and time again

You done told me

That you wanna be my all and all

But I hesitate ’cause I’m scared babe

That instead of flyin’ we ‘gon fall

But if I don’t take the chance

Then I’ll never know

And I’m startin’ to think you might be that man so

Mr. Incredible

I’m hopin’ that you can fix me so I can be open

Boy I wanna be with you so

Just come on and get me

And save me from a broken heart

I shouldn’t have all these scars

And promise you ‘gon love me like

That boy I dream about at night

But never thought it possible

Sweep me off my feet

Be my superman

Like a puzzle in a million little pieces

You put me back together again

Took your time ’cause you knew that’s what I needed

‘Til I could trust again

Listen I been bruised before

But you said with you I won’t hurt no more

I am ready this time for sure

Yeah you got me

You don’t have to wait no more

Boy I wanna be with you so

Just come on and get me

And save me from a broken heart

I shouldn’t have all these scars

And promise you ‘gon love me like

That boy I dream about at night

But never thought it possible

Sweep me off my feet

Be my superman

Yeah I was so afraid of love when you came along

Where I was so weak baby

You made me strong

You took all my bad dreams away

And made this a safe place

And like a real life fantasy

I had a hero come and save me

Boy I wanna be with you so

Just come on and get me

And save me from a broken heart

I shouldn’t have all these scars

And promise you ‘gon love me like

That boy I dream about at night

But never thought it possible

Sweep me off my feet

Be my superman

I wanna go back

I wanna remember when I used to win

I wanna go back

I wanna know what it’s like to love again

I wanna go back

To when love didn’t leave me

And somebody would need me

I was still open and free

I wanna go back

This isn’t where I’m supposed to be

I wanna go back

But I can’t, ‘Cause

Things change

Who’s the one to blame

Rewind

I need more time to get through

I’m just not ready

My world’s unsteady

Can you stop the time

Do all things change

Back

Back to when I was flyin’

I wanna go back

To letting go and breathin’ once again

I wanna go back

To when I wasn’t afraid

And I didn’t know pain

And I still could see my way

I wanna go back to familiar things

I wanna go back

But I cant, ‘Cause

Things change

Who’s the one to blame

Rewind

I need more time to get through

I’m just not ready

My world’s unsteady

Can you stop the time

Do all things change

Feels like I’m trapped in a bad dream

Somebody, can you wake me please

And put everything back

Like it used to be

And can you find a way to take me back

‘Cause I don’t understand where I’m at

If only you could just stop time for me

 (2Xs)

Things change

Who’s the one to blame

Rewind

I need more time to get through

I’m just not ready

My world’s unsteady

Can you stop the time

Do all things change

Oooooh

Do all things change

You didn’t fail me

You came through

You didn’t leave me

But I expected you to

Cause I doubted you

I never thought you could

Do all things that you said you would

But you’ve been more than I’ve imagined

I’m convinced nobody loves like this

This right here is everything to me

And this right here is everything I need

This right here I’m not letting go

Ain’t nothin’ in this world that I’m ‘gon ever want more

‘Cause this right here is everything

And this right here is saving me

And this right here is taking care of me

And this, this right here…. Is everything!

You didn’t hurt me, you healed me

You see the real me, and you love her unconditionally

Though I doubted you, you understood

It was gon’ take time for me to trust that you’re good

But it was instant on impact you opened my heart, Lord

Nobody loves like this

This right here is everything to me

And this right here is everything I need

This right here I’m not letting go

Ain’t nothin’ in this world that I’m ‘gon ever want more

‘Cause this right here is everything

And this right here is saving me

And this right here is taking care of me

And this, this right here…. Is everything!

This here is right

Everything that I been missin’

You saved my life

I didn’t know that it was endin’

Tears to my eyes

‘Cause I know that I

Would never make it without you

This right here is everything to me

And this right here is everything I need

This right here I’m not letting go

Ain’t nothin’ in this world that I’m ‘gon ever want more

‘Cause this right here is everything

And this right here is saving me

And this right here is taking care of me

And this, this right here…. Is everything!

Therapy: The Live Sessions

2016

So this album, I’m really excited about because this album picks up where my last album “Substance Abuse” and “Substance Abuse…The Altar” where they, where they left off and kind of where I’ve been of the past few years and what I’ve experienced. The ups and downs in relationships, my ups and downs in maybe my walk as a Christian woman, not that the Lord has not been who He is and faithful but just sometimes as a human we sometimes forget or we doubt or we get discouraged and just what it’s been like to walk through that. And so, “Therapy,” this album, picks up where “Substance Abuse” left off and it’s just basically bringing you even closer into my world. There’s some really awesome, happy love songs. It really kind of focuses on my past, my present and what I want my future to be.  And, it just really talks about, like, this is my therapy session.  So like, music is really therapeutic for me.  And I think when you listen to it, I hear people say all the time, “You know, Shamora this has helped me,” well, it helps me too.  And so, when I go into the studio, and I sit down and I write, that’s my therapy session. So, its welcoming you into that session with me. And, getting an opportunity to hear my heart.

Blown over

Knocked me down

Trampled over

Hit the ground

But I get back up

By Your hand

And I stand up again

What I been cryin’ through

What I been hurtin’ through

Thought about so much I got so many doubts now

Thought about what if this is not really real

And everything I feel, it’s all just a fairytale

And You’re not really who You say You are

And I just been wishin’ on a star

While I been waitin’ for somethin’

And givin’ all I have for nothin’

But then I recall how You got a hold of me

And  all of the things that caused me to believe

Oh now I’m

Thinkin’ about You

How could I doubt You

When You’re the one that came to save me

I don’t want this to be over

Lord I wanna be closer

To the one that came and saved me

You’ve been so kind

Provided yeah

You were there when I cried and I said I just wanna die

But Lord You woke me up

And when I came to

What am I to do

I don’t want to try

I don’t want to fight

I just wanna let go and shut down inside

What is life for me

I done missed my chance

I’ve got nothin’

But You said try again

So here I am

Trustin’ and, I got a hold of Your hand

I’m learnin’ I’m gon’ be alright

It’s not that serious

Oh and I’ve learned that it’s ok to give

Without you taking too much

I’m learnin’ how to live again

Learned how to find what I’ve been missin’

(2Xs)

This is, this is all about my journey

And this is, this is my story how I’ve been

Livin’ and learnin’

Growin’ and searchin’

Lovin’ and hopin’

This is, this is, this is

Hopin’ and wishin’

And prayin’ and waitin’ for somethin’

Cryin’ and hurtin’

Alone and deserted and tryin’ to find a way home

Have you ever been

Lost

Don’t know where you are

Fallin’ Apart

Stranded and you’re all alone

And it’s so dark

Disappointment, regret

Sorrow, upset

Broken promises, makes you doubt

If there’s really a way to turn things around

Then it just can’t be found

I wonder have you ever been

Lost

Don’t know where you are

Fallin’ Apart

Stranded and you’re all alone

And it’s so dark

Don’t know which way to go

I’m drownin’ in the unknown

If there’s a way then I can’t see

So God please find me

Cause I’m so lost

I got down on my knees

And I cried please change me

I made a mess of things

And only You can save me

You can turn it all around

Lost everything

That’s when I went astray

Reality was too hard to face

Didn’t wanna pray cause I had no faith

I never needed You

I did things my own way

Stuck in a dark space

No, everything’s not okay

I walked out

That was my mistake, but I wanna get back in place

I’m down on my knees

Cryin’ please change me

I made a mess of things

And only You can save me

You can turn it

Got so many bruises on the inside

All my dreams died right before my eyes

Cried so many tears

Till I’m all dry

Thinkin’ ain’t nothin’ left for me in this life

I sold my soul

I made a deal with the devil

Said what he offered was incredible

Oh but it wasn’t tangible

But I found a way out

I got down on my knees

And I cried please change me

I made a mess of things

Only you can save me

You can turn it all around

I’m down on my knees

Cryin’ please change me

I made a mess of things

Only You can save me

You can turn it all around

And around

And around

And around

You gon’ turn it around and around

Can’t even trust myself

Oh I am your clay

So mold me the way

I’m just a wretch undone

So take me as I am

And mold me to be the best I can

I tried everything

I chased every dream

Done everything my way

And with both my hands

I crafted a plan

And watched everything fail in front of my face

Fell from the world’s grace

I thought where I was was nice and safe

I’m hopin’ now that it’s not too late

I’m lost but Lord find me

I’m standin’ here cryin’

Broken here I stand

I’m just a wretch undone

So take me as I am

And mold me to be the best I can

 

This hurts but

Oh I gotta believe

That Lord Your plans are best for me

You took away

All that I value

So that I might see

That I don’t need nothin’ but You, oh

Cause everything You gon’ do yeah

You’re carvin’ out somethin’ else better for me

But You had to bring me to my knees

Oh I’m

Broken here I stand

I’m just a wretch undone

So take me as I am

And mold me to be the best I can

 

Lord I will trust You

Even broken now

I still love You

I was blind but now I see

You had to break me in order to save me!

I hear your heart breakin’
I feel your world shakin’
I see your hope’s shattered
Tryin’ to keep it all together
Seems like you just can’t win
Every step you take
Leads to the same old place
And you gotta start again oh
But you ain’t by yourself I feel you
And I know every hurt you been through

You’re picking up some scars along the way

But it’s gonna get better.

So bend but don’t break
Though trials they may come your way

You’re gonna be okay
It’ll ache and you’ll cry
But I promise it won’t hurt always
Listen you’re gonna be okay
It’s all to make you stronger
So hold on just a little longer
You can bend, you can bend, you can bend

But don’t break

Every time you cry,
I feel your pain inside
I know you don’t wanna fight
But you just gotta try
Don’t you let this get the best of you
There’s a blessing when you make it through

So put your feet to the pavement
And keep on runnin’ till you make it
You ain’t by yourself I feel you
And I know every hurt you been through
You got some scars along the way
But it ain’t nothin’ that you can’t take

I know you’re stretched to the limit

And you got so many doubts
You’re scared that time is runnin’ out

But don’t you be afraid

Just keep on pressin, holdin’ on

God’s been right with you all along

And he won’t let you fall

(2Xs)

So bend but don’t break
Though trials they may come your way

You’re gonna be okay
It’ll ache and you’ll cry
But I promise it won’t hurt always
Listen you’re gonna be okay
It’s all to make you stronger
So hold on just a little longer
You can bend, you can bend, you can bend

But don’t break

I’m in a different place

Life’s been rearranged

And nothin’s the same

But I won’t be afraid

Of what I don’t know

Or letting go

And though seasons change

I won’t be afraid

I won’t be afraid

I took a drive early this mornin’ to clear my head

Where I’m goin’ I don’t know but I like the air

I opened my eyes like it’s the first time

I’m seein’ things

All the bad gone

All the best is in front of me

It’s like I wanna cry cause

Bein’ here is only what you dream about

And oh the way I’m feelin’ now

You wouldn’t believe me

I’m in a different place

Life’s been rearranged

And nothin’s the same

But I won’t be afraid

Of what I don’t know

Or letting go

And though seasons change

I won’t be afraid

I won’t be afraid

I won’t be afraid

Not afraid

I’m in a different place

 

I look around and I don’t see who I thought I would

Old love has faded

That’s a tiny achin’

But it’s for my good

See cause where I’m at I can’t take you with me

But I pray you gon’ be what I know you can be

Listen to me

And it’s like I wanna cry cause

Bein’ here is everything we dreamed about

And the joy that I feel now

You wouldn’t believe me

I’m in a different place

Life’s been rearranged

And nothin’s the same

But I won’t be afraid

Of what I don’t know

Or letting go

And though seasons change

I won’t be afraid

I won’t be afraid

I won’t be afraid

Not afraid

I’m in a different place

 

Tears don’t fall no more

Like they used to

Though the world shakes

I don’t break

Where I’m at it’s safe

I’m surrounded by God’s grace

Oh I’m in a different place

(2Xs)

Substance Abuse (Extended Edition)

2009

I’m learnin’ how to love again

I’m learnin’ how to trust

I’m learnin’ how to need a friend

I’ve learned that I’m enough

Oh and I’m learnin’ how to forgive

I’ve learned how not to judge

I’ve learned to take a second look and how to open up

I’m learnin’ how to take my time

I’m learnin’ not to rush

I’m learnin’ I’m gon’ be alright

It’s not that serious

Oh and I’ve learned that it’s ok to give

Without you taking too much

I’m learnin’ how to live again

Learned how to find what I’ve been missin’

(2Xs)

This is, this is all about my journey

And this is, this is my story how I’ve been

Livin’ and learnin’

Growin’ and searchin’

Lovin’ and hopin’

This is, this is, this is

Hopin’ and wishin’

And prayin’ and waitin’ for somethin’

Cryin’ and hurtin’

Alone and deserted and tryin’ to find a way home

Have you ever been

Lost

Don’t know where you are

Fallin’ Apart

Stranded and you’re all alone

And it’s so dark

Disappointment, regret

Sorrow, upset

Broken promises, makes you doubt

If there’s really a way to turn things around

Then it just can’t be found

I wonder have you ever been

Lost

Don’t know where you are

Fallin’ Apart

Stranded and you’re all alone

And it’s so dark

Don’t know which way to go

I’m drownin’ in the unknown

If there’s a way then I can’t see

So God please find me

Cause I’m so lost

(3Xs)

Lost

Don’t know where you are

But really I don’t know man

Cause they got me poppin’ pills and puttin’ on patches

Stuck in this room with the walls all padded

Tryin’ to do what the doctors say

But they gotta find them a better way

Strapped down, stressed out

Cryin’ my eyes out

Screamin’ out loud, please someone let me out

I think I made a mistake

And I don’t wanna stay

If they gon’ take your love away

Lookin’ in the mirror after pickin’ myself up off the floor

And I don’t like what I see

A girl who I don’t know anymore

Wondered how did I get here

To let you do these things to me

Cause I’m the strong type

Don’t take no mess from nobody

Oh but you got me

And it’s not just on inside that you have bruised me

Boy you clouded up my whole mind

You done used me

And what kind of person

Says he loves me, then you cuss me, hit me in the same breath

This is the final round

Won’t let you take me down

Boy listen you’re gonna reap what you sow

You gon’ feel this

That sting up in your chest when I walk out

Soon you gon’ know just what I’m talkin’ ‘bout

You won’t have no way out

You gon’ break down

It’s gon’ rain in your life

Drive you out of your mind

It’s gon’ ache down inside

It’s gon burn

It’s gon’ hurt

You gon’ drown in your tears

Suffer all of your years

Your whole world’s ‘bout to shake

Boy your heart’s gonna break

It’s gonna storm

It’s gon’, it’s gonna storm

Listen it’s gon’

It’s gonna storm

It’s gon’

Your whole world’s ‘bout to shake

Boy your heart’s gonna break

It’s gonna storm

 

(Rap)

I used to think I was the man for you

You think that I don’t love you cause I put my hands on you

I only think it’s ok

Cause I was taught wrong

As a young kid I saw pop beat moms

And that’s the only vibe I had to feed off

My view was you could take the abuse

Just be strong

I never knew that everything could be gone

My days so cold and my nights so long

Cause I’m lost without you, trapped inside these four walls without you

Thinking to myself you had greatness around you

But you messed up and now hatred’s around you

That’s’ the fate I’m bound to

I was sleepin’ around

And that’s the reason for them vicki secrets you found

Tried to say they was yours

But you wear a size eight and they were a four

So my lyin’ was flawed, you saw I was a fraud

A fake brother, a dog or whatever it’s called

Now forever I fall as a result of this storm only I brought on

So only I’m to blame

I hang my head in shame and prepare for rain

And the aches and the pains, when it rains it pours

For me a monsoon or a hurricane lurks

Inside’s dyin’, internally I’m hurt

My heart is ‘bout to burst cause it yearns for you

I wish that I could go back

Maybe learn to do what you asked of me

Then I wouldn’t be caught in this catastrophe

With life thrashin’ me and life smashin’ me

And that’s that for me

Baby girl I see that you were right about things

That’s that for me

Baby girl I see that you were right about things

Damn I’m sorry

Cause I feel this

That sting up in my chest since you walked out

Now I know just what you’re talkin’ ‘bout

I ain’t got no way out

I’m gon’ break down

Listen, It’s gon’ rain in your life

Drive you out of your mind

It’s gon’ ache down inside

It’s gon burn

It’s gon’ hurt

You gon’ drown in your tears

Suffer all of your years

Your whole world’s ‘bout to shake

Boy your heart’s gonna break

It’s gonna storm

It’s gon’, it’s gonna storm

Listen it’s gon’

It’s gonna storm

It’s gon’

Your whole world’s ‘bout to shake

Boy your heart’s gonna break

It’s gonna storm

 

I had a voicemail on my phone this mornin’

Called in to check it and you were on it

Tellin’ me you wish that you could see me

And maybe you could spend some time with your baby

Ooh ooh feelin’s come rushin’ back

To take you back when you betrayed me

But really I’m just keepin’ it real

Cause they would do the same thing I’m doin’

If they were in my shoes

And I done stayed up all night

Tryin’ to figure out what is wrong with me

Boy I boo hoo hoo hooed

But I’m still comin’ up with you

Actions speak louder than words

You’re sayin’ things I already heard

I’m lookin’ for a love maker

Don’t need another heart breaker

You should know that he hurt me so

And I don’t know how to let that go

 So if you got the remedy then

Fix everything that he’s broken

Don’t leave me faded thinkin’ love’s overrated

And make it alright for me to trust
Baby I’m broken

Do it for me

This is a special case
I don’t think you can handle alone
So you gon’ need to pray
And ask the Lord to help you be strong
Cause breakin’ through these walls gon’ take that kind of strength

To get me wide open
See I got scars that you can’t see
But if you got the remedy

Do it for me boy
Fix everything that he’s broken
I wanna believe that you can
Don’t leave me faded thinkin’ love’s overrated

 I need you do this for me
Take back the hurt that he’s caused here
And make it alright for me to trust
Baby I’m broken
Oh but I’m hopin’
You can do this
Do it for me

If you got the magic potion
Then break that bottle open
And pour it all on me
Cause right now I’m just copin’ with this pain I need to go away

I’m hopin’ you can set me free

If what you got’s a heart fixer
Then I wanna overdose mister
I need a healin’ in the worst way
So can you, can you, can you, do this for me.

I got down on my knees

And I cried please change me

I made a mess of things

And only You can save me

You can turn it all around

Lost everything

That’s when I went astray

Reality was too hard to face

Didn’t wanna pray cause I had no faith

I never needed You

I did things my own way

Stuck in a dark space

No, everything’s not okay

I walked out

That was my mistake, but I wanna get back in place

I’m down on my knees

Cryin’ please change me

I made a mess of things

And only You can save me

You can turn it

Got so many bruises on the inside

All my dreams died right before my eyes

Cried so many tears

Till I’m all dry

Thinkin’ ain’t nothin’ left for me in this life

I sold my soul

I made a deal with the devil

Said what he offered was incredible

Oh but it wasn’t tangible

But I found a way out

I got down on my knees

And I cried please change me

I made a mess of things

Only you can save me

You can turn it all around

I’m down on my knees

Cryin’ please change me

I made a mess of things

Only You can save me

You can turn it all around

And around

And around

You gon’ turn it around and around

And only you can save me

You gon’ turn it all around

I ain’t got nobody else

Can’t even trust myself

This is a cry for help

I’m outside knockin’ at Your door

I know you got what I’m lookin’ for

Oh I am your clay

So mold me the way

You know I should be

I’m down on my knees

I got down on my knees

And I cried please change me

I made a mess, a mess of things

You can save me

You can turn it

I’m down on my knees

Cryin’ please change me

Only You can save me

You can turn it all around

I got down on my knees

Girl likes her space

Everything is comfortable

Boy gets in the way

That’s how the story goes

She thinks that it’s tragic

He knows that it’s magic

And though the stakes are high

He loves her anyway

And just like she predicts

He screw up just a bit

It’s really not that big

But she starts an argument

So he’ll walk away

But he knows she’s scared

And something’s still there

She says please go

He tells her no

I’m not movin’

I’m gon’ stay right here

And we can fight it out

Scream and shout

I’m not walkin’ out

Right is where I wanna be

I’m not gon’ move

I’m not gon’ move

Girl plays it safe

She pretends not to care

Boy knows a place down in her heart somewhere

She carries her baggage

He wants to unpack it

And make room inside so his love can grow

And just like he predicts she warms up just a bit

And when she starts to like it

She tries to fight it

So he’ll walk away

But he knows she’s scared

And hiding what’s there

She says she needs space

He says no way

I’m not movin’

I’m gon’ stay right here

And we can fight it out

Scream and shout

I’m not walkin’ out

Right is where I wanna be

I’m not gon’ move

I’m not gon’ move

She says do you really mean what you say

Are you always gonna be

Right here, right here

And right now everything’s okay

But when everything’s hell

Will I look around and be

All by myself

He said I’m not movin’

(2Xs)

I’m not movin’

I’m gon’ stay right here

And we can fight it out

Scream and shout

I’m not walkin’ out

Right is where I wanna be

I’m not gon’ move

I’m not gon’ move

 

Silly of me I thought

That tellin’ you to go

Would take the ache away

But little did I know

There’s constant reminders of

A life built just for us

Forget your love I tried

But there’s a hole inside

Now I,

Think about us all the time

Oh how,

How could I be so blind

This hurts more than our mistakes

Everyday I fade away

I don’t care about the past

I just want you back

How I miss you oh

And I love you so

Late at night I be holdin’ my pillow tight and I cry

Oh, Oh

I miss you bad

You’re the best I’ve had

I don’t care who was wrong or right

If I spend one more night without you

I’ll die, I’ll die, I’ll die

I’ve lost a lot in life

But nothin’ quite like this

I’d trade all of my money

Just for your kiss

Boy I want you back in place

So early in the mornin’

You’ll wrap me in your embrace

Where it’s warm inside

 

Oh I,

I think about us all the time

Oh how,

How could I be so blind

Oh baby this hurts more than our mistakes

I hear your heart breakin’
I feel your world shakin’
I see your hope’s shattered
Tryin’ to keep it all together
Seems like you just can’t win
Every step you take
Leads to the same old place
And you gotta start again oh
But you ain’t by yourself I feel you
And I know every hurt you been through

You’re picking up some scars along the way

But it’s gonna get better.

So bend but don’t break
Though trials they may come your way

You’re gonna be okay
It’ll ache and you’ll cry
But I promise it won’t hurt always
Listen you’re gonna be okay
It’s all to make you stronger
So hold on just a little longer
You can bend, you can bend, you can bend

But don’t break

Every time you cry,
I feel your pain inside
I know you don’t wanna fight
But you just gotta try
Don’t you let this get the best of you
There’s a blessing when you make it through

So put your feet to the pavement
And keep on runnin’ till you make it
You ain’t by yourself I feel you
And I know every hurt you been through
You got some scars along the way
But it ain’t nothin’ that you can’t take

I know you’re stretched to the limit

And you got so many doubts
You’re scared that time is runnin’ out

But don’t you be afraid

Just keep on pressin, holdin’ on

God’s been right with you all along

And he won’t let you fall

(2Xs)

So bend but don’t break
Though trials they may come your way

You’re gonna be okay
It’ll ache and you’ll cry
But I promise it won’t hurt always
Listen you’re gonna be okay
It’s all to make you stronger
So hold on just a little longer
You can bend, you can bend, you can bend

But don’t break

Life’s been rearranged

But I won’t be afraid

Of what I don’t know

Or letting go

And though seasons change

I won’t be afraid

I took a drive early this mornin’ to clear my head

Where I’m goin’ I don’t know but I like the air

I opened my eyes like it’s the first time

I’m seein’ things

All the bad gone

All the best is in front of me

It’s like I wanna cry cause

Bein’ here is only what you dream about

And oh the way I’m feelin’ now

You wouldn’t believe me

Life’s been rearranged

Of what I don’t know

Or letting go

And though seasons change

I won’t be afraid

I won’t be afraid

I won’t be afraid

Not afraid

I look around and I don’t see who I thought I would

Old love has faded

That’s a tiny achin’

But it’s for my good

See cause where I’m at I can’t take you with me

But I pray you gon’ be what I know you can be

Listen to me

And it’s like I wanna cry cause

Bein’ here is everything we dreamed about

And the joy that I feel now
