Keep It To Yourself

We're not all perfect people
And I would never claim to be
A product of perfection
For all the world to see
There's something to be said for
The secrets underneath
Keep it to yourself, I don't want it getting out
Oh It's gonna hurt somebody, Gonna hurt somebody
Keep it to yourself, don't tell anybody else
Don't wanna hurt nobody, wanna hurt nobody
I've had enough, been thinking bout it constantly
Get it out, let it go cause it's haunting me
It's haunting me
You think it's no big sweat, you can take the heat
The fact they don't know yet is no small feat
You know its only a matter of time
But I can't run forever
And that's the bottom line
Keep it to yourself, I don't want it getting out
Oh It's gonna hurt somebody, Gonna hurt somebody
Keep it to yourself, don't tell anybody else
Don't wanna hurt nobody, wanna hurt nobody
Keep it to yourself, I don't want it getting out
Oh It's gonna hurt somebody, Gonna hurt somebody
Keep it to yourself, don't tell anybody else
Don't wanna hurt nobody, wanna hurt nobody
As it all falls down, and we take our bows
Say goodbye to the past that defined us
Let go, Let go
We'll put this behind us, we'll put this behind us
Keep it to yourself, I don't want it getting out
Oh It's gonna hurt somebody, Gonna hurt somebody
Keep it to yourself, don't tell anybody else
Don't wanna hurt nobody, wanna hurt nobody
Keep it to yourself, I don't want it getting out
Oh It's gonna hurt somebody, Gonna hurt somebody
Keep it to yourself, don't tell anybody else
Don't wanna hurt nobody, wanna hurt nobody

Me In The End

Hey you, standing on the corner
Yeah you, you know I can't ignore ya
There's something bout the way you just walked by. Woah.
Knockout, head to toe
No doubt, she's gotta know
No way she's going home alone
Cause they never go home alone
I couldn't help it, I guess I'm just selfish
There's no way around this
I have to take you home with me
There's no reason, not to feel it out
Cause I told you once, and I told you twice
I won't say it again, You're gonna see
It's me in the end.
There's something bout the way you look that I like
Feelin' like the ground just shook, but I'm fine
Must've been a heat wave passing by
Time is running out, come on lets go
Clock is counting down, not a second too slow
I need to find some way to let her know
That she'll never have to be alone
I couldn't help it, I guess I'm just selfish
There's no way around this
I have to take you home with me
There's no reason, not to feel it out
Cause I told you once, and I told you twice
I won't say it again, You're gonna see
It's me in the end.

There comes a time when you just cant take no more
There comes a time when you gotta break
And I can't tell you how long I've felt this for
But it's been keeping me awake
You try, and you try, and you try
And it dies, and it dies, and it dies
Watching as our love starts slipping away
Suddenly our blue skies fade to grey
There's no way we're saving this
It's already caving in
And we just keep waiting around
Stranded as the rain comes pouring down
There's no use in staying here
It's already gone my dear
I can't seem to deal with the thought of it all
So hopeless now, and it freaks me out
Here's the final blow
We gotta let it go
We tried, tried, tried,
And it died, died, died
Watching as our love starts slipping away
Suddenly our blue skies fade to grey
There's no way we're saving this
It's already caving in
And we just keep waiting around
Stranded as the rain comes pouring down
There's no use in staying here
It's already gone my dear
Oh no, oh no, here comes the waterworks
And I know, I know, right now it really hurts
But the sky isn't falling
It's destiny calling
And time will turn things around.
Watching as our love starts slipping away
Suddenly our blue skies fade to grey
There's no way we're saving this
It's already caving in
And we just keep waiting around
Stranded as the rain comes pouring down
There's no use in staying here
It's already gone my dear
It's already gone

The Chosen One

I bet you really think you're special
I bet you think you have nothing to learn
You can't tell yet, but you're in trouble
I know its hard, I know it's hard to wait your turn
Everyone has their place, you're just another pretty face
You're on your way out, I never had a doubt
What'd you think would happen?
Don't look so surprised when you're left behind
And when you see me, you'll have reason to believe
This is really happening
What's done is done, you're not the chosen one
Open your mind, take a look outside
You think you're ahead, but you're a step behind
Always catching up, always promising change
Never thinking bout how many shits you gave
There's work to be done dear, there's moves to be made
There's wars to be won here, there's no time to waste
Everyone has their place, you're just another pretty face
You're on your way out, I never had a doubt
What'd you think would happen?
Don't look so surprised when you're left behind
And when you see me, you'll have reason to believe
This is really happening
What's done is done, you're not the chosen one
You'll never be the one they
You'll never be the one they
You'll never be the one they want, Oh
You'll never be the one they
You'll never be the one they
You'll never be the one they want
You're on your way out, I never had a doubt
What'd you think would happen?
Don't look so surprised when you're left behind
And when you see me, you'll have reason to believe
This is really happening
What's done is done, you're not the chosen one

She Took My Only Heart

Simple life, drifting through
Rain falls down, but never on you
You wonder how things came to be
See every time that you get hurt
You tell yourself, "I should've left first"
I guess you learned just in time for me
You could've taken whatever you wanted
But you took the only thing I need
She took my only, she took my only, she took my only, she took my only heart
She took my only, she took my only, she took my only, she took my only heart.
Now look at me, Just like you
Tried to leave, but was afraid to
It's hard to move when you fall apart
And they say "Give it time, let it heal
The more you wait, the more love you'll feel"
But it's hard to love without a heart
You could've taken whatever you wanted
But you took the only thing I need
She took my only, she took my only, she took my only, she took my only heart
She took my only, she took my only, she took my only, she took my only heart.

The first time that you fall in love
It feels like the one that you wont get rid of
You waste some time, and you waste some more
Just to make sure, yeah Just to make sure that
It's over, really over
Not some spark left lit lying in the corner
And I'm gone now, moving on now
Gotta break away before you drag me down
Down, Down
If you wanna move up, gotta let her down
Down, Down
Gotta give it all up, its time to let her down
Got it figured out, no more putting it off
(Gotta say it, walk away and turn your back on it all)
Just lay it down, slip on out, like you don't feel the loss
(You can stick around, but you won't like the cost)
Cause it's over, really over
(One phone call will change it all up, It's for the best, No second guessing)
Not some spark left lit lying in the corner
And I'm gone now, moving on now
Gotta break away before you drag me down
Down, Down
If you wanna move up, gotta let her down
Down, Down
Gotta give it all up, its time to let her down
Down, Down
If you wanna move up, gotta let her down
Down, Down
Gotta give it all up, its time to let her down
