Don't Give Up on Me

(Verse 1)
I think those scars on your arms are beautiful
They show you made it out alive
Which isn't something easily said
Not all of us survive,
Keep that in mind
I know that things only go up from here
The sky gets cloudy before it gets clear and
You've got to suffer rain to see sunny weather,
It'll get better
You're not being weak if you're not always strong
So what you're not right sometimes it's good to be wrong
Baby if you crash, there's nothing wrong,
Stay strong.
(Chorus)
Don't give up on me when times get tough
I hope you adore me when times get hard
I remember when on my darkest day
You were there for me
(Verse 2)
That night I almost lost her forever
Thank God she made it out alive
Now its my turn to be strong,
Pull through and survive
And know that even if you're crashing to the ground
You're still moving though you're headed down
After every storm comes a calm,
We'll come around
This cut may heal in a few days
My heart might take longer
I hope you don't mind and I hope you stay by my side
The whole time
(Chorus)
Don't give up on me when times get tough
I hope you adore me when times get hard
I remember when on my darkest day
You were there for me
(Bridge)
If you think it's all over
Thats proof that it's not
Because it keeps going like the wind keeps blowing
You're moving on
Life goes on
(Chorus)
Don't give up on me when times get tough
I hope you adore me when times get hard
I remember when on my darkest day
You were there for me

Goodbye

(Verse 1)
I'm setting myself up for failure and I'm not sure why
Every morning's another hello and every damn night is another goodbye
I can't get you out of my head, can't seem to just say no
All you do is drag me down but I just can't let you go
(Chorus)
You hold me back, keep me off track
I try to fight against it but I always come back
I pushed you away so many times
The hardest step is goodbye
(Verse 2)
My head is screaming no while my heart is begging yes
I loved you again last night and they day before, I confess
I try to push you to the back of my mind but how can I when it's so full
There's no room behind the thoughts the might kill me,
The ones that make me strong, the senseless ones, the racing ones,
The right ones and wrong
Oh, what the hell is about you that makes you so..mmm
(Chorus)
You hold me back, keep me off track
I try to fight against it but I always come back
I pushed you away so many times
The hardest step is goodbye
(Bridge)
It's not that you're the problem, the way I feel about you is
The way I can't go one fucking day without the painful reminisce
Of what will happen if I quit you, what will happen if I don't
Will it kill me to say yes? Will it kill me to say no
Will it kill me at all of be easy to go?
(Chorus)
You hold me back, keep me off track
I try to fight against it but I always come back
I pushed you away so many times
The hardest step is goodbye

Diamonds in the Rough
03:45
|

|
Our cracks are what make us human
Our tears are what make you you, what make me me
We'll bend and we'll break that doesn't mean we're broken
Just diamonds in the rough
(Chorus)
Open your eyes a little wider
Open your mind a little broader
Open your heart to see the beauty in
Every form, every shape
Every step forward, every mistake
Every tear that you may cry, every hello every goodbye
Every imperfection, every frown
Every rise up, every fall down
The darkest night still ends with a sunrise
(Verse 2)
Our pieces might not fit together
Our picture might look incomplete
But your reality is what you choose to see
Look through a brighter lens
(Chorus)
Open your eyes a little wider
Open your mind a little broader
Open your heart to see the beauty in
Every form, every shape
Every step forward, every mistake
Every tear that you may cry, every hello every goodbye
Every imperfection, every frown
Every rise up, every fall down
The darkest night still ends with a sunrise
(Bridge)
When you're all the way down
And it seems everything that's right is wrong
When it all falls apart
Find the strength to carry on
(Chorus)
Open your eyes a little wider
Open your mind a little broader
Open your heart to see the beauty in
Every form, every shape
Every step forward, every mistake
Every tear that you may cry, every hello every goodbye
Every imperfection, every frown
Every rise up, every fall down
The darkest night still ends with a sunrise

It's Not Me It's You
03:03

|
(Verse 1)
I have to remember it's not my fault that you're gone
I did nothing wrong
I have to remember you'll never be who I need you to
You'll never do the things I need you to
Though I never asked that much of you
(Chorus)
There is nothing I could say
Not that I would if I could anyway
Although it breaks my heart, I'll be stronger this way
There is nothing I could do
No more time I could've given you
Although it breaks my heart, I'm through
It's not me, it's you
(Verse 2)
I have to remember there were no more chances left to give
And you wouldn't take them if I did
I have to remember I put the ball in your court
But you never played, just quit the sport
Didn't you see how much it hurt?
(Chorus)
There is nothing I could say
Not that I would if I could anyway
Although it breaks my heart, I'll be stronger this way
There is nothing I could do
No more time I could've given you
Although it breaks my heart, I'm through
It's not me, it's you
(Bridge)
You never looked back
Every time you walked away
You lied straight into my eyes
Every time you promised me you'd change
(Chorus)
There is nothing I could say
Not that I would if I could anyway
Although it breaks my heart, I'll be stronger this way
There is nothing I could do
No more time I could've given you
Although it breaks my heart, I'm through
It's not me, it's you

Survive

(Verse 1)
You broke me down then built me up, you never built me the same
My heart overcame my head and I got caught up in your game
Blindfolded I tell you that I love you
When I take it off it's clear to me
I'm not and never was your one and only
It's time to stop shutting out reality
(Chorus)
I gave you my heart
You tore it apart
Now I can't breathe and I can't see
Without you here by me
Right from the start
You gave me your heart
Now you can't breathe and you can't see
Without you here by me
Ignorance is bliss but open your eyes
We just have to realize
we're not meant to survive
(Verse 2)
Shutting it out is easier than dealing with the pain
Believing you really care when I know it's just a game
I can't help but feel that there is some truth
In the things that you say
I tried to see if I was right
There's too many lies in the way
(Chorus)
I gave you my heart
You tore it apart
Now I can't breathe and I can't see
Without you here by me
Right from the start
You gave me your heart
Now you can't breathe and you can't see
Without you here by me
Ignorance is bliss but open your eyes
We just have to realize
we're not meant to survive
(Bridge)
I thought I was ruined, thought this must be the end
Little did I know it had all just began
Sometimes thing you think might kill you keep you alive
(Chorus)
I gave you my heart
You tore it apart
Now I can't breathe and I can't see
Without you here by me
Right from the start
You gave me your heart
Now you can't breathe and you can't see
Without you here by me
Ignorance is bliss but open your eyes
We just have to realize
we're not meant to survive
