One Day 07:23
Girl while you’re crying Writing ‘bout those tears of blue Take it all in but don’t break Don’t let it take over you Them glass walls you hide behind Everyone can see right through Shatter the pieces, they’ll guide you To the dreams you wish be true Let ‘em talk all they want to Let ‘em walk how they want to Let ‘em never get used to all the things you say you’ll be One day You’re gonna find what you’ve been looking for And the days will be brighter on your side One day No one’ll ever take that shining light That you’ve been hiding away all your life The world is yours with your songs and words One day Look right out your window Listen to the pouring rain Feel the chills of the breeze Lead your hands to the keys And play your problems away Let ‘em talk all they want to Let ‘em walk how they want to Let ‘em never get used to all the things you say you’ll be One day You’re gonna find what you’ve been looking for And the days will be brighter on your side One day No one’ll ever take that shining light That you’ve been hiding away all your life The world is yours with your songs and words One day One day One day One day One day One day Let ‘em talk all they want to Let ‘em walk how they want to Let ‘em never get used to all the things you say you’ll be One day You’re gonna find what you’ve been looking for And the days will be brighter on your side One day No one’ll ever take that shining light That you’ve been hiding away all your life One day You’re gonna find what you’ve been looking for And the days will be brighter on your side One day No one’ll ever take that shining light That you’ve been hiding away all your life The world is yours with your songs and words The world is yours with your songs and words The world is yours with your songs and words One day One day One day One day One day

Insane 04:25
I’ve been ill lately talkin’ to the love doctor daily askin’, “What’s been aching me?” He said my heart’s been broken, but my mind is still lingering on you Nothing but trouble, but at the same time it feels good our past is on my mind Then I step in reality, another girl holds you tightly, and all my emotions unwind And it drives me insane I think I caught a disease, contagiously pure, and it drives me insane There’s no medication, there’s no cure, and it's drivin' me crazy Cuz it’s you that belongs by my side Without you here, I’m losing my mind And it drives me insane I see you with your new girl It gets harder everyday, cuz her love just seems so fake She’s only a distraction, a newly-found attraction Whatever it takes to forget the hidden pain The way she thinks she knows your heart, how to heal the so-called scars To my stomach it makes me sick Just between me and myself, she’s nothing more than your average, basic desperate lover You could’ve done better I think I caught a disease, contagiously pure, and it’s drivin' me There’s no medication, there’s no cure, and it’s drivin' me Cuz it’s you that belongs by my side Without you here, I’m losing my mind And it drives me insane It still hurts me, I miss you It still hurts me, I care It still hurts me, I love you I think I done caught a disease, contagiously pure, and it’s drivin' me There’s no medication, there’s no cure, and it’s drivin' me Cuz it’s you that belongs by my side Without you here, I’m losing my mind And it drives me insane, me insane That I can’t, I can't call you my baby again

Invisible 03:53
It still feels like yesterday When the walls we built came tumbling down One little moment that made us fall apart Now we’re messing around Like we’ve never seen each other before I miss the way we’d talk about the craziest things Only we can understand Only we can understand Now it’s like water underneath a broken bridge Underneath a broken bridge Why do you treat me like I’m invisible? Even though I didn’t do anything to you What happened to being something no one else could be? And what ever made us feel so lost? Now I’m left All alone and feeling so invisible Oh I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying so hard, so hard To feel what it’s like to be myself again To smile for no good reason But it’s tough When you’re all I think about I miss the way we’d talk about the craziest things Only we can understand Only we can understand But now it’s like water underneath a broken bridge Underneath a broken bridge Oh, why? Why do you treat me like I’m invisible? Even though I didn’t do anything to you What happened to being something no one else could be? And what ever made us feel so lost? Now I’m left All alone and feeling so invisible So invisible So invisible

Letting Go 04:00
You say you’ve felt it for a good minute And I have for the longest, babe We thought of going one direction But it ain’t the strongest path we should take Oh, I’m tired of waiting on someone I can’t keep For you and me Our best thing is just letting go You want somebody to love I want somebody to love So what about us? What about us? We could just keep wanting us But we both know that’s not enough No it’s not enough Oh, I’m tired of waiting on someone I can’t keep For you and me Our best thing is just letting go Oh, I’m tired of waiting on someone I can’t keep For you and me Our best thing is just letting go

Change 05:34
They say time’s a healer When I couldn’t move on Short life, live it right Felt like most of it was gone When you fall, get back up I was stuck in deep It only gets better from here Why don’t you show me? I wanted new faces I wanted new places My world was spinning I think I’m ready Am I ready? I want new beginnings I want something different I want a new change I want new beginnings I want something different I want a new change I want new beginnings I want something different I want a new change I want a new change Things were taking off real fast My flight was delayed All the stars were shooting While I’m here wondering So I prayed For some new faces For some new places My world is spinning I know I’m ready I’m ready I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change I’m on a new change I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change I’m on a new change I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change (I’m on a new change) I’m on a new change (I’m on a new change) I’m on a new change (It only gets better) (Time will heal ya) I’m on a new change Thankful for new faces Thankful for new places My world’s still spinning Now I’m ready Yes, I’m ready I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change I’m on a new change I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change I’m on a new change I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change I’m on a new change I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change I’m on a new change I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change I’m on a new change I’m on new beginnings I’m on something different I’m on a new change I’m on a new change Thankful for new faces Thankful for new places My world’s still spinning Now I’m ready Yes, I’m ready

Independent 03:58
You say you adore me and I’m one of a kind But I caught you slippin’ lurking from behind Praise me for the highs, yet you’re shady on the low Dirty liar I ain’t playin’ with you anymore You say you ain’t talkin’, but I’m always on your tongue You say you ain’t playin’, but you find it kinda fun Don’t be tryna fake it when I’m feeling sublime Take your shade Leave me be in my own spotlight I’m stronger than I’ve ever been Never to be hurt again Now I’m on my own Like I’ve been reborn! I’m independent! And you know I can’t depend on you I’m independent! And you know I ain’t no one’s fool, no It’s too late to say you're sorry Keep it to yourself, but don’t you worry Cuz I’m independent! Rain on my parade Stomp on my shoes Don’t you have anything better to do? Tryna cut you off, but you’re begging for more You can try and start a fight, but you’ll lose my war I’m stronger than I’ve ever been Never to be hurt again Now I’m on my own Like I’ve been reborn! I’m independent! And you know I can’t depend on you I’m independent! And you know I ain’t no one’s fool It’s too late to say you're sorry Keep it to yourself, but don’t you worry Cuz I’m independent! You can’t shake me Sho can’t break me You can’t make me Can’t even fake me You can’t change me Rearrange me You can’t play me Don’t try to save me I’m independent! I can’t depend on you I’m independent! And you know I ain’t no one’s fool It’s too late to say you're sorry Keep it to yourself, but don’t you worry Cuz I I’m independent! And you know I can’t depend on you I’m independent! And you know I ain’t no one’s fool It’s too late to say you’re sorry Keep it to yourself, but don’t you worry I’m gonna tell my story You won’t get the glory No, it’s too late to say you’re sorry Keep it to yourself, but don’t you worry Cuz I’m independent! I’m independent I’m independent I’m independent I’m independent

Psalm 13 The Holy Bible English Standard Version (ESV) 1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, 4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. 5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
