Loser

Poor you
Life is like shootin' in the dark
Never had a fair shot
You was angry heard you was less
Could never 'mount to much
So your head is high
But inside, your spirit's low

Poor you
Blame all you want, but it's up to you
You can stay or you can move
'Cause it's freewill
Be strong enough to do what you want to do
Or in the end, you're only a loser
And you lose

Pull deep
One step at a time moves you closer to
Anything you want to do
It's so hard I know
But you should try, 'cause if you don't
You lose and they've won
And in the end you're still just a loser
And you lost

Don't be hangin' round waitin' placin' blame
They can't feel your pain
Get your own
No matter what you say
Your fault if you stay
Now they won

You chose to stay
Now my friend, you're just a loser today
Loser today

Win
Try to win
Win
You don't have to be a loser

Have a Cry

Feelin' kinda lonely
Oh, and that's not the worst part
My pockets kinda holey
Gettin' old and still wanna be a star
Yeah, I'm feelin' low
But don't come run to my rescue
Please don't come to preach
Don't need no god damn happy speech

Is it alright if I cry?
Without no positive speeches
Don't need no lessons on God
Because I'm human, I got weakness
Don't just say it's alright
My life fell into ten pieces
Don't tell me it's fine
Just let me have a cry

I know you're tryin' to help me
Can't you just listen to me sometimes?
You can't always find the answers
Everybody's faith ain't always high
Yeah, I'm feelin' low
So please just let me sulk

There ain't nothin' you can say
So don't come sing Amazing Grace
There ain't nothin' you can do
So don't come give your point of view
There ain't nothin' you can say
I'm only human, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Is it alright if I cry?
Without no positive speeches
Don't need no lessons on God
He knows that I'm human, I got weakness
Don't just say it's alright
My life fell into ten pieces
Don't just say it's fine
Just let me have a cry

I'm only human

Is it alright if I cry?
Without no positive speeches
Don't need no lessons on God
Because I'm human, I got weakness
Don't just say it's alright
My life fell into ten pieces
Don't just say it's fine
Just let me have a cry

Is it alright if I cry?
Without no positive speeches
Don't need no lessons on God

Hurt So Bad

So he got another woman now is what they say
And I heard he got a real good job with real high pay
Heard he found him a light-skinned girl with real long hair
Say they see 'em out on the town everywhere

I guess it means I need to find my way
I should move on
Try to build up the strength to leave
Where I been so long
Lord, please can you help me cause
The pain is so strong
I don't wanna have to face it
But my man is gone

hurt so bad
it hurts so bad ooh
I hurt so bad
Tell me why it gotta hurt so bad

He was there when the lights went out and I was scared
He was there when I needed him and nobody cared
Never had to remind him cause he always knew
And the only kinda air he breathed was the air I blew

I was wrong, I never showed him what he had to see
He was thinking bout us and all I saw was me
Took his half found another home
Took his half of the whole we made and now he's gone, oh

I hurt so bad
Tell me why it (hurt so bad) gotta hurt so bad
Tell me why it (hurt so bad) gotta hurt so bad

Stop

Finally got my shot
What I've been dreaming
Seems could finally come around, right
But can't help feel time run out
Just one push we wiped out
Cause, oh, here we go, yeah
Hell, I can see it been told, and I can see the signs
I think you better stop
The world could end before I be a star

Is everybody asleep
Life as we know it is on the way to fizz out
Right, running to malls, catch markdowns
Ignoring life force breakdowns
You go and you go, yeah
Rushing and building your dreams on such a shaky ground
I think you better stop
The world could end, she needs attention

Hey, you, I wanna live
World's slipping away while you're living life
You can't see the bigger picture
Hey, you, I said, I'm trying to get mine
Life's slipping away while you're working hard
Please just stop and take a listen

Hey, you, I wanna live
World's slipping away while you're living life
You can't see the bigger picture
Hey, you, I said, I'm tryna get mine
Life's slipping away while you're working hard
Please just stop and take a listen

Hey, you, I'm tryna live
World's slipping away, yeah, slipping, yeah, yeah
Please stop and take a listen

I wanna live
I wanna live, yeah
Do you wanna live
I wanna live

Insanity

No pressure, lesser each day
Ain't gotta take it
And no catch up, set my own pace
Can't even feel the fear now
Closer to the end now do what I feel, yeah

Feels closer grip almost gone
I'm feeling looser
So tired of trying to hold on
It's looking crystal clear now
Borderline is near now
I can just breathe, yeah, yeah

I'm headed for the brink of insanity
And I, I hope to get there soon
I'm tired of being sane in this world now
There's too much to be consumed
I'm headed for the brink of insanity
I can see the door not far ahead
I hope that they sedate me and give me a rest

I don't know if I'll be back home, I kinda like it
I been caught up in life, work too long
I kinda like the idea, I can't even feel here
I can just be, yeah

Ignore me if I seem insane, cause I
I'm so happy life ain't where I am
I'm headed for a world too deep for them to get to
Set myself free, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm headed for the brink of insanity
And I, I hope to get there soon
I'm tired of being sane in this world now
There's too much to be consumed
I'm headed for the brink of insanity
I can see the door not far ahead
I hope they sedate me and give me a rest

I'm headed for the brink
(When I get up) hope to get there soon
I'm tired of being sane
(Much to be consumed)
Headed for the brink of insanity

Give and Take

This is no way to live
Holdin' on to the times called better
We gotta fight everyday
But still not wanting to say, "Let's end"

And it's me you say that
Never does the things you want me to do
And I scream, you're not the man that
Said a while back, "All that I need is you"

Oh, if you could give me a rose
I'll go and get you a beer
If you come home more times
Then I'll spend more time here
If we could go for a walk
Sometimes I'd hold your hand
Give me what I need
I'll meet you halfway
If you could share with me
I could see nothing but you
If you could put me first
First of all would be you
We'd be OK
If we remember that it's give and take,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Let's have a meeting of minds
Just take some time to be one, it's worth it
If you put me before you
And I put you before me, we're fine
So tell me all the things you need
And I'll try to see 'em through
Because it's we (it's not me)
We (it's not you)
Babe, can we call a truce,

Oh, if you could give me a rose
I'll go and get you a beer
If you come home more times
Then I'll spend more time here
If we could go for a walk
Sometimes I'd hold your hand
Give me what I need and
I'll meet you halfway
If you could share with me
I could see nothing but you
If you could put me first
First of all would be you
We'd be OK
If we remember that it's give and take

God, I love you (love you, love you)
Oh, we can make it through
(We can make it through, we can make it through)
No me without you (without you, without you)
It's us, it's we
It's me and you
Oh, baby, babe
Oh, baby, babe
Babe, it's give and take

I love you baby babe

baby, it's give and take
give me your loving, babe
I love you, need you, babe
baby, it's give and take

Still Here

And winter's coming
God it's been a whole lotta years
Time is moving faster it seems
I can feel it
Life is changed
But I'm still here

Had many lovers
and been in love at least two times
Couldn't seem to get it right
On I keep movin'
But I'm still in the same old spot

Happiness comes, but passes by
I got everything I need
But alone I sit empty inside

'Cause I'm still here
Still waiting on you
Right here, another man won't do
Still here, still waiting on you

I know it's useless
I hear you're OK yeah
Cruel to know that you can move about freely
When I'm still caught up in love's cage

I don't want this love, set me free
Life moved ahead and is fine, but forgot me
Let me go, I got things I wanna do
I'm not whole, but God I need to be

But I'm still here
Still waiting on you
Right here, another man won't do
Still here, still waiting on you

Here bound by this web of nothing
Ooh I wanna go
Spend days in many crowded rooms
But still I'm filled with nothing

'cause I'm still here
Still waiting on you
Right here, another man won't do
Still here, still waiting on you

Still here,
Still waiting Right here
Still waiting on you

I still love you babe
I still need you babe
I still love you
I still need you here

Me

My heart's jumpin'
God, I'm feelin' open
Spent a long time mopin'
Get a load of me, feelin' free
No pain no more
No blockin' up my own door
All anger out my back door
God, it's good to see

Life,
Got kinda hard, I faced it
Fought and cried and almost gave in
All negative forces faded
Love of me just walked right in

I'm just me, I'm enough
With myself I'm in love
I've been weak, I've been low
Made me strong, now I know
I'm just me, I'm enough
Nothin' less, nothing more
I wish everybody could just feel this kind of love

Feels good, feels fine, feels good, yeah
My mind's older
Chip's fallen off my shoulder
All I need to prove is over
Good enough for me
Found willingness
Found will to be courageous
No need to feel defenseless, Peace

Life,
Got kinda hard, I faced it
Fought and cried and almost gave in
All negative forces faded
Love of me just walked right in

I'm just me, I'm in love
With myself I'm in love
I've been weak, I've been low
Made me strong, now I know
I'm just me, I'm enough
Nothin' less, nothing more
I wish everybody could just feel this kind of love

Feels good, feels fine, feels good, yeah
Feels good, feels fine, feels good, yeah

I'm just me, I'm in love

Bonus Track

The flowers died when the doorbell rang
Clouds came from under the door
No more sunshine
The skies went grey
I hoped you wouldn't come today
Dark cloud casting a shadow on me
Raining so hard I can't see
Don't want you around
You bring me down
Should've looked out the window
Before I opened the door
I can't fix your life for you
Time for you to be strong
Say you wanna die
Been hurting my oh my
But I been there for you
At all times
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to say
I'm completely drained
You steal my sunshine
Dark cloud casting a shadow on me
Raining so hard I can't see
Don't want you around
You bring me down
Do you ever have a good day
Do you ever smile
All you see is negative
You're ruining my life
I'm trying to be happy here
You're weight is just to strong
My shoulders have given out
Dark cloud casting a shadow on me
Raining so hard I can't see
Don't want you around
You bring me down
Dark cloud casting a shadow on me
Raining so hard I can't see
Don't want you around
You bring me down
