I'm Not Supposed To Want You

I find it easier to lie to someone else
than being honest with myself
I've been on the road to recovery
saying that I'm better
but really I'm stuck on someone else

I don't need to tell her but I want to tell her
everybody else thinks that I've moved on
But I can feel the time tick away in the day
every little second I can notice she's gone

She doesn't know a thing that's the way it's supposed to be
I don't want to let her know that I'm still weak
I can find a different girl every other week
but they're never enough to be the one to set me free

I know it's not fair but who am I kidding?
You could say it's everybody else but me
I could lie a thousand times a day, hundreds by the hour
but honestly these lies are cheap

'cause I still want you
even though I'm not supposed to want you
even though they all say that it's wrong
I'd fight it all over again 'cause I want you
I still want you

even though we both know that it's gone

It's hard for me to say it
but it's harder to hold it all back
I try, I swear, I fake it
hoping they don't notice me now

these feelings already outdated
and I'm over here acting crazy 
like it's yesterdays heart that's breaking
like you never left and I'm still taken

one of these days I know I'll be fine
but it gets worst when I sleep at night
trying to look sane in front of these eyes
but I fall behind the lines of these lies

I wish I didn't know you the way I know you
it would make a difference right now
even though we're not together, I'm still wrapped up
I can't move... I'm tied down

'cause I still want you
even though I'm not supposed to want you.

Pain Killer

I was at the wrong place or at the wrong time
walking in the shadows of my mistakes
But you said it didn't matter, you still saw the light
I was so surprised that you chose to stay
it took a while but you were patient 
something i always lacked inside of me but you didn't mind
you let me walk on my own but you were right there
I always knew that in the back of my mind
something told me it was different this time, maybe I should try
before you, no one got by
staying on guard like I was at war
I couldn't put my heart there on the front line
you made it look simple by the way you broke me down
you made sure that you wouldn't change me
so I watched it all happen, waited for the moment
but I realized it was pain free

You are my pain killer
my only way out
Love and Hate was in the same sentence
but it's only love now
I don't need anybody else but you
You're the only way now
You are my pain killer
my only way out

There are times when I make things
more complicated when it really shouldn't be
and I seem to often take things
the wrong way, focused on the negativity
but you step back, you wait for me to come to my senses
you wait till I lower my defenses
you know exactly how to handle me, you dive in deep
when my mind is in the trenches
something feels different time, nothing I tried
makes me feel the way you make me feel
you can call me crazy but I'm not a liar
you make my world spin with the bottom of your heels
you make things simple, I don't need a manual to follow through
and I don't want a sample, I want all of you
So I stand there and watch it all happen
I'm overdosing on you

I'm trying not to think about it
I've been doing things that I know I shouldn't do 
like keeping track of days when I shouldn't count 'em
I've been losing sleep but nothing is like losing you
I bet you're thinking that I'm doing better now
I wish that was the case. I'm still in the same old place
there's still a lot of clothes that you have here
should I throw them all away? Do I keep it just in case
you come back? Maybe you'll come back
Realistically, I know it's not a good chance
Why do I hang on a future that I can't have
that I won't have
and it makes me wonder, did I do all that I can?
Did I let go too fast?
I'm still trying to understand
but I'm sitting in my room drawing blanks

I know when it's time
when talking doesn't make it right
I say that I'm fine
but nothing in my world feels fine
you could tell that I'm lying
when I say you're not on my mind
it's different this time
'cause the feeling doesn't feel so right
so it's finally the real goodbye

I'm trying hard to think straight
you don't even know how much you've got a hold on me
is it normal to feel out of place?
even in a room filled with everyone you know
I'm putting up an act in front of everyone
I know they see it but they understand I need my space
I don't talk about it. They don't want to talk about it, too
I told them I don't want to hear nothing about you
till I'm ready
I don't even know when that'll be
Do you understand you're the half of me?
Now I've gotta learn all over again
how it feels like without you in my bed
and this might sound strange
but waiting is an option that I'm willing to take
right now I'm accepting the fact that maybe it's too late
and I'm being replaced

I know when it's time
when talking doesn't make it right
I say that I'm fine
but nothing in my world feels fine
you could tell that I'm lying
when I say you're not on my mind
it's different this time
'cause the feeling doesn't feel so right
so it's finally the real goodbye

The Real Goodbye (Rework)

Second

I'd Rather Be Wrong Than Sorry

Hero (Featuring Viddy V)

Consistency (Featuring PlayOnJ)

I've decided to create longer remixes of my songs from the latest album. I wanted to take bits and pieces of my vocals, spread them around the instrumental, and let the song breathe longer.

This is the first step.

I'd Rather Be Wrong Than Sorry (B Sides)

I made a song for my Twitch channel as per community request. Enjoy!
