Just The Good Parts

Different platforms
Same old faces
Facebook friends
From empty spaces
Picture after picture
Insta-famous
You’re worth more than false expectations
Pretend that it’s reality but all you ever show is the good parts
Pretend that it’s reality but all I ever see is the good parts
Selfie-filter
Playing pretend
Supermodel
How will it end?
The camera’s always lying
As we fix the pixels
It’s not like the mirror
It doesn’t make things clearer
Chorus
Pretend that it’s reality but all you ever show is the good parts
Pretend that it’s reality but all I ever see is the good parts
Just the good parts.

New Beginnings
03:12
|

Nervous and lonely was all that I felt
When it all started I was all by myself
New beginning - leaving the past behind
The atmosphere drained me of the courage I had
Wanted to be happy but I ended up sad
Cos all the people I knew were cold and unkind
I was tired of the struggle every day
And I knew inside me I couldn’t stay
I’m starting on my journey and my journey starts here
Making a fresh start - who knows what will appear
I was starting to settle in
Some people started to talk to me
Which made me feel like I’m not alone anymore
This made me feel like I had new friends
And I couldn’t wait for this journey to start
New friendships - leaving the past behind
I was tired of the struggle every day
And I knew inside me I couldn’t stay
I’m starting on my journey and my journey starts here
Making a fresh start - who knows what will appear

I'm Free (Movin' On)
02:41
|

I’m moving on I’m gonna take that road
Away from someone that I used to know
I’m changing up for the better
There’s nowhere I can’t go
Standing still was yesterday’s new
And you can watch it if you wanted to
But it’s just an excuse - it’s me you’re gonna lose
There’s a new way forward and a light that I’m gonna follow
Where I’ll I can’t tell you but you’re gonna find out tomorrow
And now that I’m free - I’m gonna use the love I used to give you a little on me
And now that I’m free - I’m gonna use the love I used to give you a little on me
And you can watch me as I go but I won’t wait to see you cry
There’s a path that I am taking and you’re not by my side
Cos I’m free - I’m gonna use the love I used to give you a little on me
You can’t expect me to wait no more
I got plenty new seeds to sow
I’m not wasting my precious time
Pick up your things and go
There’s a new way forward and a light that I’m gonna follow
And now you’re out of my life I know I’ve finally got a chance to be me
And now that I’m free - I’m gonna use the love I used to give you a little on me
And now that I’m free - I’m gonna use the love I used to give you a little on me
And you can watch me as I go but I won’t wait to see you cry
There’s a path that I am taking and you’re not by my side
Cos I’m free - I’m gonna use the love I used to give you a little on me
And now that I’m free - I’m gonna use the love I used to give you a little on me now And now that I’m free - you’re gonna miss the love I used to give you

High Off The Blues
04:12
|
|||
I see your sad face and it tells me I’m wrong
I thought that you could handle the toughest of songs
Now I’ve listened (yeah) to all the things that you’ve said
Cos you’re low on the blues
Now the Blues are seen as a sort of disease
You’ve gotta understand - just listen please
Now I won’t do this anymore
Cos you’re low on the blues
I always wanna walk - I always try to fly
But I never want to try it the way you try me
So I’ve gotta prove what I can do
For you - to you. For who? For you
Cos I’m high off the blues
High off the blues (x4)
To you - for you. For who? For you
I’m high off the blues
Now we always try to meet with the beat of the track
Forget all the times right behind my back
When I’m on tour - I count to four
I’m-a show you what I got then I will show you the door
Cos I’m high off the blues
High off the blues (x4)
To you - for you. For who? For you
I’m high off the blues

Mr Conciliator
04:18

I’ve got a pocket full of dreams
And that pocket sits next to me
But the zip has broken and it’s tearing at the seams
All that you can see is my body falling apart
And all that I can feel is the debit to my heart
Mr Conciliator how can you please
Talk to the person inside of me
And give them the strength to believe
Mr Renovator can you please comprehend my puzzled mind
And piece me back together
Let the rain be my tears
Help to guide me through my worst years
I’ve got a head full of troubles
Poison inside that never seems to leave me
But there’s hope - oh there’s hope
Just give me that hope so I can believe
All that you can see is my body falling apart
And all that I can feel is the debit to my heart
Mr Conciliator how can you please
Talk to the person inside of me
And give them the strength to believe
Mr Renovator can you please comprehend my puzzled mind
And piece me back together
Let the rain be my tears
And them to guide me away from the hell
In which I cannot remain
If that it’s true happiness I wish to obtain
So please Mr Conciliator - How can you please
Talk to the person inside of me
And give me the strength to believe
Mr Renovator can you please comprehend my puzzled mind
And piece me back together
Let the rain be my tears
Help to guide me through my worst years

No Borders

The only border’s in your mind
And it’s too easy to be unkind
We’re all people and we’re all together
More alike than different
It’s been that way forever
Let it mix and let it blend
No more enemies - just good friends
If we move or if we stay
Or whether we chose a different way
Things are better when they come together
Make a new place it’s the only way
Things are better when they come together
A brighter future and a brand new day
People say you can’t ignore
Every problem and every flaw
But nobody is perfect - different but the same
We all feel heat from sunshine and shelter from the rain
Make it work and make it stick
Make a new place - brick by brick
When we work or when we play
We can build the world a better day
Things are better when they come together
Make a new place it’s the only way
Things are better when they come together
A brighter future and a brand new day
Pick me up when I fall
Answer if you hear a call
Build bridges up not walls

Every morning he sits at the back of the bus
Always got his eyes on the floor
Every morning he never looks up
I wonder what he’s waiting for
As I watch them in the same place every day
I wonder if they’ll ever have to courage to say
Something to break the ice
It doesn’t have to be clever
Just speak cos some things can’t be left unsaid
Something to break the ice
Cos I know you belong together
So speak and lift the dark clouds - lift the dark clouds from you head
And then this evening I saw her waiting for him
Had a glimmer in her eye
Stood there in silence as he came out of the crowd
Not letting him pass her by
And I saw them as they said a word or two
A connection that’s too powerful to refuse
Something to break the ice
It doesn’t have to be clever
Just speak cos some things can’t be left unsaid
Something to break the ice
Cos I know you belong together
So speak and lift the dark clouds - lift the dark clouds from you head
Now the words are spoken
And the silence broken
And I watch them disappear
As off they went together
Will this one last forever
Maybe we all need to hear
Something to break the ice
It doesn’t have to be clever
Just speak cos some things can’t be left unsaid
Something to break the ice
Cos I know you belong together
So speak and lift the dark clouds - lift the dark clouds from your head

Credit To My Baby

I’ve got something to tell you
I’m informing all my friends you’ve been looking so fine
I know they’re all jealous from the look in their eyes
It’s getting close to midnight Babe
You’re butterflies won’t die
Looking in the mirror - watching time go by
Waiting for a second - the day I call you mine
I said I got something to tell you
So you’d better listen right
Out on the floor I need some more
Dancing for the night
All the nights that you saved me
All the foods we tried
All the dances you gave me
You got me feeling like another type of light
Those unforgettable nights
Have got me feeling hazy
I need to give some credit - credit to my baby
I’ve got something to tell you
Being with you feels so so right
You’re everything - you’re everywhere
It’s like another world you just open up and tear
Video games and music fights
Lonely sights and horror fright-nights
No matter what we choose
Every day’s got me feeling new
I said I got something to tell you
So you’d better listen right
Out on the floor I need some more
Dancing for the night
You’re living through views
You’re fighting for the blues
Gotta love that part of you
Love is a funny type of thing
You get highs and lows before that ring
It’s one big cycle of madness all the time
I won’t let you go til the end of time
All the nights that you saved me
All the foods we tried
All the dances you gave me
You got me feeling like another type of light
Those unforgettable nights
Have got me feeling hazy
I need to give some credit - credit to my baby
