Verse 1: I make my point I don’t kiss you goodbye when I leave for work in the morning. Oh yeah. It hurts so much by the end of the day my mind erases your lies and you’re back in the light again and then I throw my arms around you and say I’m sorry, but you knew that you were the one who was wrong, yet you accept my apology This is how I disrespect myself CHORUS: then I felt the power of love giving me strength, I had to love you more than me & you and now I trust the power of love I knew I had to break it off with you It was the hardest thing to do because it leaves me without you Verse 2: Hurry on. Don’t look back, maybe reunite someday. Oh, what a fool I am. I haven’t been here in a long long time forgotten how love can hurt and I'm lost in the world again. The goal everyday is to hit rock bottom so you drink, drink, drink, drink and you drink but it doesn’t make anything better. It’s weird, you don’t need me, but I need you. CHORUS

I'm the one who's supposed to take care of you I stand up when the devil won't back down I put everything on the line in the name of your sanity it was all for you but you destroy me when you say that I gave up on you You refuse to see the truth Guess I wasn't much to you CHORUS: I wanna be an alcoholic an alcoholic so we can be together I can’t do this sober My love gets in the way I wanna lose myself so completely drown in alcohol who needs to be sober I'll just be with you and throw my life away so we can be together I thought I was helping; life guarding just pushed you away Your lies were like water turning us into decay and you struggled and panicked to keep yourself from drowning but the water so deep released our grip didn't want you to go dragged rivers looking for you except the things I can not change and when to get out of the way CHORUS You turned your back on me You’re pushing me away when I came between you and the bottle You turned your back on me and left your family when I came between you and the bottle CHORUS

Getting High 04:29
I think you are playing me like a fool I don’t see nothing but you losing your cool know it sounds strange but I’d like to thank you for the lies. They lift me up to the sky and deserve better in my life. CHORUS: I’m getting higher and higher and higher Don’t need you honey your pants are on fire Sweat makes me look like I’m a crier You’re a hot-air balloon I’m getting higher I’m getting higher and higher and higher You taught me about having respect for myself Who knew all your crazy lies could be so much help I love life now that I have broken free from you I am so proud of myself breaking up is hard to do CHORUS You build the fire and I’ll be the flame I’ll rise from the flames You build the fire and I’ll be the Flame I’ll rise from the flames Like a phoenix from the flames CHORUS

Such a feelin's comin' over me There is wonder in most every thing I see Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream Everything I want the world to be Is now comin' true especially for me And the reason is clear, it's because you are here You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen CHORUS: I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world Somethin' in the wind has learned my name And it's tellin' me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here CHORUS 2Xs

about

Euphoric Indie Pop / Alt-Country break up album about addiction and resilience. Angelic vocals (like Sinead O'Connor / St. Vincent) woven with 1970s Country, and 1990s Alternative; Olivia Newton-John meets Beck. Hard next to soft; ugly to beautiful.
