I'll Learn For You
02:52

After everything I gave you
I should hate you, but I don’t
After everything you took from me
I should leave you but I won’t
I would die, I would die without your touch
I would fall, I would fall even further without you
And I need you by my side
I need a place and I need order
That order lies with you
And if you demand that I stay with you
I’ll surrender and stay true
I would give you more if I had any left to give
I would never desert you if I ever thought I could help
And I need you by my side
I need you to need me, if that’s alright
I am my own enemy
I hate myself more than I hate you
I have made so many mistakes
Now there’s nothing I can do
To right my wrongs, so I must fight for my right to be alive
I don’t deserve all the forgiveness that you gave me, when you did
So I will earn my right to stay with you
I will learn the right way, and follow through
I will learn, I will learn how to live my own life
I will learn to love, to feel, to touch, to care, how to be there
For you
I will fight for my place
I will fight for a reason
I will fight to stay strong
I will fight for you

Mash 'n Cheese Sunday

You're my Sunday morning sunshine
always blinding me awake
you’re a Saturday night life line
you hold me down so I won't break
And I thought I needed someone
Who was less and less like me
You told me I could be anyone
And you showed me I could be free
Don’t look away
and think of brighter days
It’s not always memories
of perfect songs and every night we fell in love
You’re the waves and I’m the skyline
can’t rip the horizon apart
You’re the car and I’m the road sign
I’ll lead you straight towards my heart
And I thought I needed someone
Who would tell me where I should go
You told me I could be anyone
It’s not all about what you know
Don’t look away
and think of brighter days
It’s not always memories
of perfect songs and every night we fell in love
Don’t close your eyes
when tomorrow ends in goodbyes
It’s not gunna be a lifetime
of listening when you say I’m perfect for you

Mother
03:25
|

He calls me son, you call me daughter
Makes me feel like I’m treading water
I’m not a warm up act or childhood dream
And I’m so much more than what I seem
I know I fucked things up and let you down
Just call me by my name so I don’t drown
I tried to do things your way, and stand alone
I thought I was flesh and blood, not skin and bone
It’s not a choice, I have a voice
and it speaks louder, and you don’t care
I’m not a freak, I may be weak
but you never helped me, you weren’t there
no, you weren’t there
You gave me up when I was born
New into a body already worn
Say you love me, say you want me to do well
How can you say love me when you think I'm going to hell?
You had your final chance to call me your son
But that's it, I'm gone, I am done
Why would I need somebody who won't say my name
I'm still that girl you loved, I am the same
I just found my own way, had my own say, I grew up
I chose my future, it's not easy, it was tough
I didn't stick to the guildlines, fuck the sidelines
I am more than that, Yeah
It’s not a choice, I have a voice
and it speaks louder, and you don’t care
I’m not a freak, I may be weak
but you never helped me, you weren’t there
no, you weren’t there

Changes

I never had a reason
Or something to believe in
There was nothing that I wanted to fight for
And getting up never really felt right before
And I’m telling you, I’ve found something
Can’t tell me that I’ve got nothing
Now I got a reason to get out of bed
and stop hearing voices inside my head
I’m gunna
Wake up and break up all the barriers
That I put aside and didn’t conquer
When I was down and out and done
Never thought I was gunna be someone
Gotta chase the lights and microphones
Won’t give it up til I’m well known
I’m gunna chase my daydreams down
And keep both feet on the ground
I know I’ve had some troubles
Thinking that my struggles
They weren't worth the time I wasted
And every hour I waited
I know the road is unclear
Forget about your fear
Of fallin down and never living
the floor is hard, not unforgiving
I’m gunna
Wake up and break up all the barriers
That I put aside and didn’t conquer
When I was down and out and done
Never thought I was gunna be someone
Gotta chase the lights and microphones
Won’t give it up til I’m well known
I’m gunna chase my daydreams down
And keep both feet on the ground
It’s not all down to dreaming
When my fingers lose all feeling
Won’t stop searching for meaning
I don’t care what’s in my way
Don’t care if it takes all day
Won’t care what you have to say
I’ll make it
I’m gunna
Wake up and break up all the barriers
That I put aside and didn’t conquer
When I was down and out and done
Never thought I was gunna be someone
Gotta chase the lights and microphones
Won’t give it up til I’m well known
I’m gunna chase my daydreams down
And keep both feet on the ground

End Of Us
02:11
|
|||
I never found the words to say
that if I was to die today
I’d want you to hold me close
You’d be the last thing that I’d see
and, between you and me
I think its always been this way
Please don’t leave me, please don’t leave me
you know I need you, you know I need you
I know you’re sorry, you said you’re sorry
this can’t be the end of us
It’s obvious that we have both changed
that doesn’t mean we can’t be the same
as we were before this mess
You could find me under the street light
take my hand and we’ll carry on
fighting this war, side by side
Please don’t leave me, please don’t leave me
you know I need you, you know I need you
I know you’re sorry, you said you’re sorry
this can’t be the end of us,
this can’t be the end of us ....

Jake Edwards England, UK
Just some dumb dork from Youtube. There's nothing much here in the way of musical ability, I just kinda blunder my way through a few songs and spam the internet with it.
