Some think I'm the luckiest girl alive but what they don't know is… Every night I lie awake, contemplating my mistakes But he can't be to blame, they all can't be the same it must be me Gave an inch he took a mile, seems to be a never-ending cycle He can't be to blame, something's gotta change it must be me Things I gotta own, learn from my mistakes The only way to control just where i'm going Finally breaking free, breakin into me In touch with how I really feel, what matters most me I don't need saving Cause the root of the problem is something I can overcome It starts and ends with me I'm breakin free Tell me what you see, when ur looking throu my window It's like make believe If you only knew when the shades go down Then all hell breaks out When there's no one else around But he can't be to blame, somethin's gotta change it must be me Things I gotta own, learn from my mistakes The only way to control just where i'm going Finally breaking free, breakin into me In touch with how I really feel, what matters most me I don't need saving Cause the root of the problem is something I can overcome It starts and ends with me I'm breakin free I was deaf to the voice inside of me, but now it's as loud as can be Denied myself before, no not anymore Now I've got a choice to make, choose myself or my mistakes Gotta choose me i'm finally breaking free It's all coming together, It's all coming together Everything's so clear, I'm finally breaking free Some think i'm the luckiest girl alive But what they don't know is

We both have filthy hearts, dirtied by unassuming lovers who played a part and left us scarred, afraid to fall we both have twisted ideas of what we know love to be though we believe in something better let's take each other, to the heartwash and give each other a fresh start, let's take each other, to the hearwash so maybe we can give in, give in, give in we both have apprehensions about letting down our walls it would take an army to get em down we both have aspirations of finding a love that's real but we've lost faith along the way let's take each other, to the heartwash and give each other a fresh start, let's take each other, to the hearwash so maybe we can give in, give in, give in afraid of history repeating we hide i'm so sorry i look away when you smile it's so hard for me to stare you in the eyes cause i feel myself melting let's take each other, to the heartwash and give each other a fresh start, let's take each other, to the heartwash so maybe we can give in, give in, give in lets take each other to the heartwash cause you and me we've got filthy filthy hearts

I'm so much more than a melody So much more than a song I sing Before you fall take time, get to know me I'm emotional, I am sweet I'm not always a proper lady I'll make you laugh but you'll see me cry a few times Cause I'm perfectly human and I'm perfectly me I'm perfecly God's creation get to know me, Perfectly me I'm a future fabulous mother I'm gonna be my husband's best friend I don't eat meat, or watch much tv But I'll never try and change you for me I'm not that person u see under the light all the time, I've got insecurities but I grow everyday, always gettin better wait til u meet me next week Cause I'm perfectly human and I'm perfectly me I'm perfecly God's creation get to know me, Perfectly me I thought it was something more but he fell in love with the strum of my guitar and I fell in love with the way his lips took shape as he smiled at me But I'm just perfectly human and I'm perfectly me I'm perfecly God's creation get to know me, Perfectly me

Now outside my window flowers bloom Take the wheel, my pleasant surprise Drive me to the place you dream of at night I'll follow you, my pleasant surprise Cause I think I like where you're headed One touch of your skin to mine and I still feel it Your lips on my neck ummm And your scent is stuck on the tip of my nose And it lingers Take the wheel, my pleasant surprise Drive me to the place you dream of at night I'll follow you, my pleasant surprise Cause I think iIlike where you're headed We don't need no map Just don't drive too fast Cause i wanna take in the beauty No directions No expectations Things are lookin lovely Take the wheel, my pleasant surprise Drive me to the place you dream of at night I'll follow you, my pleasant surprise cause I think I like where you're headed Wanna go away with you Wanna go away from here Just you and me baby

Feel like i don't know you anymore You're becoming a stranger to my heart, heart, hooo hooo Maybe I never knew who you really were Maybe I never knew Don't come any closer to the flame One heart still beating, One heart to blame Time comes cheap, a dirty facade It's not that it healed us, it's that we forgot Maybe I never knew who you really were Maybe I never knew Never knew who you really were, never never never Corrupted, you can break me tonight, Spiraling back down to earth I'll hold you tight Who who do you really know Whoaahhh when the only thing constant is change Corrupted, you can break me tonight, Spiraling back down to earth I'll hold you tight Corrupted, you can break me tonight, Spiraling back down to earth I'll hold you tight, Corrupted, I'll hold you tight, I'll hold you tight You can break me tonight I'll hold you tight, Who you really were Spiraling back down to earth

Hide Away 04:11
I wonder if you are as crazy about me as I am about you and we're just two people trying to play it too damn cool If that's the case baby we should just call it a day and head back to my place cause I just wanna be alone with you forget the world and all we have to do let's hide away I wonder if you are thinkin about how you can't sleep without me and we're just fools runnin away from this fairytale if that's the case sweetheart we should just drop everything and head back to your place cause I just wanna be alone with you forget the world and all we have to do let's hide away wanna lay with you under starry skies wanna wake with you in the morning light cause I just wanna be alone with you forget the world and all we have to do let's hide away
