Colors 04:23
Was I enough Was I the one who made you smile, who made you laugh, who made you lose it all Weren’t you a friend Weren’t you the one who made me feel Who made it real Who made me lose it all Colors on our heads My confidence It’s wearing out And all I’ve got Is this fake smile I try my best To look at things the right way up It’s getting tough To keep my damn mouth shut Colors on our heads You don’t have to hide it anymore You don’t have to change it anymore (And there I lay, lifeless Waiting for someone to save me Shadows clutter my mind As I drift further into the darkness There seems to be no hope at the end of the tunnel The ground tries to swallow me I fight back But all to no avail But it’s you Your hand reaches down into the abyss And takes me back up to earth And all I know Is that someone out there cares for me) You don’t have to hide it anymore You don’t need to fake it anymore

A Dream Away 04:28
Your pink hair It sparkles as you speak Your dark eyes Cuts through the air I breathe But in a month, you’ll be gone, I know I shouldn’t have waited so long And it’s so careless of me, To think that you’ll see what I see Let’s take off, and go out for a ride By my side, In every single stride But in a month, you’ll be gone, I know I shouldn’t have waited so long And I wouldn’t have known, That my wishes won’t ever come true, with you Cause I’ve fallen deep With just the thought of you in my head It’s so selfish of me to think you’ll see what I see In my dreams You’re just a dream Inside my head I’m just dreaming of this In my head Cause I’ve fallen deep With just the thought of you in my head It’s so selfish of me to think you’ll see what I see In my dreams You’re just a dream Inside my head I’m just dreaming of this In my head Cause I’ve fallen deep (You’re just a dream) With just the thought of you in my head (Inside my head) It’s so selfish of me (I’m just dreaming of this) to think you’ll see what I see (In my head) In my dreams And you’re just a dream away

This Time 04:01
It's not easy living in this small, small town When you're known as the toughest girl around The world crashes around you every single day And the words that your head that you never really wanna say Oh, never say Let's leave this cage and find somewhere else to be (somewhere where we can be free) A place where we can be who we want to (somewhere where we can be free) Cause all I have is you and these dead dreams (this time it's only you and me) Now we're waiting for the cruel world to set us free With him leaving, it really gets you down So you cope with dye and dope and a smile replaces your frown Ah, you never said Let's leave this cage and find somewhere else to be (somewhere where we can be free) A place where we can be who we want to (somewhere where we can be free) Cause all I have is you and these dead dreams (this time it's only you and me) Now we're waiting for the cruel world to set us free For all the hurt I’ve put you through (this was all worth it, for you) For all the hell I’ve put you through (don't ever say that again) And for all the times that you saved my life (I wouldn't change a single thing) It's me who needs to be sacrificed (Woah, no) We don't have to leave this place and find somewhere else to be (here is where we are free) Cause now we can be who we really want to be (here is where we are free) And all I really need is you and you is me (finally, it's you and me) Well the whole world's screwed, who cares, we are free

It’s cold out, spent the night drinking 4 am, we’re tired of thinking Losing fights, I’m tired of dreaming ‘bout you All night, all night I’m losing you again Can’t you see you’re all I need I’m tired of being just friends Cause you’re all that I can see Every time your eyes meets mine There’s only fire and sparks Ah... Heavy hearts, sinking down the ocean Tied up again, by the words I'm used to singing Locked up thoughts, I'm sick of them escaping I tried so hard, but it's me that needs the saving The hardest part, is keeping you from seeing That my heart, it's never gonna give in Stupid love, I'm bruised but I'll keep chasing Cause all I wanted was you I’m losing you again Can’t you see you’re all I need I’m tired of being just friends Cause you’re all that I can see Every time your eyes meets mine There’s only fire and sparks Ah... I’m losing you again Can’t you see you’re all I need I’m tired of being just friends Cause you’re all that I can see Every time your eyes meets mine There’s only fire and sparks Ah... I’ll see you again I’ll see you my friend I’ll see you again I’ll see you my friend I’m losing you again Can’t you see you’re all I need I’m tired of being just friends Cause you’re all that I can see Every time your eyes meets mine There’s only fire and sparks Ah... I’ll see you (Cause you’re all that I can see) I’ll see you (Can’t you see you’re all I need) I’ll see you (Cause you’re all that I can see) I’ll see you Again

Back To You 03:44
Falling down again, you suck me right back in To that dark, dark place that eats me from within We're chasing dreams that was never meant to be We're chasing dreams of you and broken me I close my eyes, and I'm dreaming of a place Without you, a thorn by my side I'll live again, I'll breathe again If only you'd let me go, but I swear you won't give in You won't give in! Come on, keep your eyes on me Cause this time I'm gone for good Come on, keep your hands on me Oh you wish you could I'm not leaving a trace behind Not even the slightest scent Cause you are killing me Grinding me away day by day I close my eyes, and I'm dreaming of a place Without you, a thorn by my side I'll live again, I'll breathe again If only you'd let me go, but I swear you won't give in I swear you won't give in I close my eyes, and I'm dreaming of a place Without you, a thorn by my side I'll live again, I'll breathe again If only I could let you go, but I'm coming back to you Coming back to you Coming back to you Coming back to you I keep coming back to you
