Afford This

I can't afford this
it's taking too much time
now that I know this
ain't my kind of life
Now that I know
now that I know
where do I go
where do I go
Some people got it made
living off property
some folks out doing it right
living their dreams and getting by
Some people still wear chains
comfortable as modern slaves
I know I will keep trying
to get to where I'm okay with dying

Just Me

I'm finally on the other side
I never knew I could feel so alive
I'm afraid to close my eyes
I was never one for the night
We're like half the streets
in this city
maybe it's just me
maybe it's just me
Talking to myself
staring at a screen
maybe it's just me
maybe it's just me
(Chorus) {
If I could
know what I should
do you know I would do it all
I don't know
where to go
baby please, just let me know}
Now I know I use them a lot but words are never good enough
I need you to show me that you want to spend a little love
no no no no
baby d-d-d-don't
I'm filled with doubt
take it out
maybe that's just how I work it out
Hit the keys
baby please
maybe it's just me
maybe it's just me
(Chorus)
Nothing I do seems like it's enough
because everything I do is far too much
nothing I say seems to make her wanna stay
'cuz my words are exactly what's driving her away
(Chorus)

Perfect

There's a hint of love blushing through your cheeks
something fascinating in the way you breath
a simple elegance in the way you move
a brush of brilliance in everything you do
That dress was perfect
the way you wore it
you looked so gorgeous
I hope you know that
There's a hint of love pulsing through your veins
something so amazing in the way you say my name
a subtle confidence echoes through your pose
a heart of innocence I want so much to know
That picture perfect
walk out the doorway
we were so flawless
if for a moment
and its all I can do to keep from loving you
and its all I can do to stay away from you
and its all I can do to make it up to you
its all I can do, its all I can do
and its all I can be to be what you need
and its all I can be to be lonely
and its all I can be to be a memory
and its all I can be, its all I can be
and its all I can take when you're sitting alone
and its all I can take when you're crying at home
and its all I can take when you don't say hello
oh its all I can take, its all I can take
and its all I can say to say you're wonderful
and its all I can say to be truthful
and its all I can say to say you're beautiful
its all I can say, its all I can say

Quiet

They tell me I'm a quiet boy
Then why do I have so many words in my head
They tell me I'm a bright young lad
Then why does it seem I don't know these simple things
That all the other boys and girls make look so easy
They tell me do as you please
Then scoff when I ask and laugh at my plans
Tell me to lead but never to dream about
All that I am and all I hope to be
(Chorus) {
There is a hole in my head
That no one else can see
There is something in my chest
That's making me speak so quietly
There is no one in my bed
Cause I can't sleep
There is nothing that I've said or done
To make me feel like anyone
Like someone
Like everyone}
They tell me son you've done so well
Then why do I keep to me and my
They tell me to stop fighting on my own
How can I stop when that's all I've ever known
(Chorus)
