The Way She Is
Seems that my love for you’s evergreen,
Can’t wash away even on heavy rains.
These other guys got you on a drain,
But I’ll save you from ‘em if I could.

In the coldest nights, (Eyeah)
I’ll be here around you, bringing you that fire, (Eyeah)
Warm you up and we can dance in candlelights. (Candlelights)
Tell myself, “I love the way she is on mine.” (The way she is on mine)

Let’s rewind, take it from the top, (Eyeah)
It’s you and me for life, (ah-ah, eyeah)
Break the dirtiest rules,
And if nothing’s right, (Nothing’s right)
Tell myself, “I love the way she is on mine.”
On mine

Thinkin’ about the things you did with me, (things we did)
Beverages you never shared with me,
Handwritten letters you made for me.
You always had it for me. (ooh, woah, ooh, woah)

In the coldest nights, (Eyeah)
I’ll be here around you, bringing you that fire, (Eyeah, that fire)
Warm you up and we can dance in candlelights. (Candlelights)
Tell myself, “I love the way she is on mine.” (The way she is on mine)

Baby, let’s rewind, take it from the top, (Eyeah)

And if nothing’s right, (Nothing’s right)
Tell myself, “I love the way she is on mine.”

The way she is, the way she is for me…
The way she is, the way she is for me… (Oh)

The Way She Is

Good Manipulator
(Written and Arranged by Ralph Ong)



Verse 1
You know the places where I’m weak and you’re strong,
And I mean nothin’ to you.
You got me wanting every part of you,
Thought I need someone like you.
 
Pre-Chorus
There’s no reason for me needing you,
You made me forget the problem’s with you, and for that…
 
Chorus 1
I was afraid you’d go and leave me alone
Bruised knuckles, now I won’t be knocking your door
It’s the last you’ll see that you’re better with me
I was happy before I fell to a good manipulator
 
Verse 2
You look like a drug, unclean I’m-
chasin’, chasin’ you.
Like how on Earth will I get (over you?)
 
Verse 3
Baby, half the shit’s already tarnished, but you made me the sorry one
Hell is just beneath our story, felt more real ‘cause I’m not your only one
And your ever-changing words just tame me, and I keep letting you come break me
And every time we fight it’s heavy, but my love for you becomes the referee
 
Pre-Chorus
There’s no reason for me needing you,
You made me forget the problem’s with you, and for that…
 
Chorus 1
I was afraid you’d go and leave me alone
Bruised knuckles, now I won’t be knocking your door
It’s the last you’ll see that you’re better with me
I was happy before I fell to a- (No,oh, woah)
 
Chorus 2
You were my best mistake, to me you were safe
‘Cause every time I crawl to you, it’s a shame
It’s the last thing I’ll see that without you I’m free
You were happy ‘cause I fell for you, you’re
You are…
Good manipulator (Ooh-ooh)

Gentle Giant
(Written and Arranged by Ralph Ong)

Intro
Ooh, woah, oh 

Verse 1
It’s like I’ve done this so many times
I wrapped my head around every lies; I’ve got; I’ve said
Run from my past, but it keeps following, 
I rerun the errors
It’s like you’ve caused the times I have cried
Walked down the hall with no one besides me
I pretty much get along with everyone pretty well
But they know I’d be silent, there, as well.

Pre-Chorus
I’m skipping meals and I’m always bothered
Wish, I’ll never make a problem
Heard they said I’m so much better,
But how come I can’t feel those things? (Huh)

Chorus
You know me more than I’ll ever, ever know
Feeling all done and I don’t wanna go
I may be right, but I’m always in the wrong
I don’t wanna say, but I don’t feel so fine.
Thinkin’ I am strong, but I’m a gentle giant.
You know me more than I’ll ever, ever know
Feeling all done and I don’t wanna go
Yeah, I don’t think I’m alright

Verse 2
Decapitate, my head be on loose.
‘Cause everyday just seems like a loop.
Pick up myself like an adult, but I stay babifying, actin’ all special.
No questions asked, you’ll get what you want
I’ll always try my best, oh, I try
I very much get annoyed,
I’m able to show and tell from the look on my face like I just entered hell.

Pre-Chorus
I’m skipping meals and I’m always bothered
Wish, I’ll never make a problem
Heard they said I’m so much better,
But how come I can’t feel those things? (Huh)

Chorus
You know me more than I’ll ever, ever know
Feeling all done and I don’t wanna go
I may be right, but I’m always in the wrong
I don’t wanna say, but I don’t feel so fine.
Thinkin’ I am strong, but I’m a gentle giant. (Mmm, ah-ah)
You know me more (more) than I’ll ever, ever know
Feeling all (all) done and I don’t wanna go (Mmm)
Yeah, I don’t think I’m alright

Post-Chorus
I’m skipping meals and I’m always bothered
Wish, I’ll never make a problem
Heard they said I’m so much better,
But how come I can’t feel those… things?

Not So Bad
(Written and Arranged by Ralph Ong)

Verse 1
I’m living quietly, how you come around just to shout?
Oh, my God
I won’t be dumb like before, 
So one by one, I watched them go
(Done was their needing, so now they will leave you alone)

Pre-Chorus 1
Why have I been thinking I belong,
When they don’t appreciate some things that happened?
But you might think it’s selfish to move on,
But it’s not so- but it’s not so- not so bad

Chorus
I don’t wanna try again, I don’t wanna love again
You don’t deserve someone like me
Tears will never fall again
New is I, I love the change
‘Cause feeling good inside is remedy
I’d rather see me dancing in my room at night
I’m doing better not thinkin’ bout you on my mind
Yeah, you don’t deserve someone like me
But it’s not so- not so bad.

Verse 2
And there it came the wrath, that’s not how I like it. (Yeah, yeah)
I woke up on another day of bullshit
No longer interested on some new shit
I’m giving myself space, and now it’s cool shit

Pre-Chorus 2
All that I’ve been doing is avoid
Don’t wanna amends, they push it to an end.
But, sometimes I do feel the guilt. (feel the guilt)
But it’s not so- but it’s not so- not so bad

Chorus
I don’t wanna try again, I don’t wanna love again (love again, love again)
You don’t deserve someone like me
Tears will never fall again
New is I, I love the change (love the change, love the change)
‘Cause feeling good inside is remedy
I’d rather see me dancing in my room at night (oh)
I’m doing better not thinkin’ bout you on my mind
Yeah, you don’t deserve someone like me (me, me, me, yeah)
But it’s not so- not so bad.

But I’m still tryna live the life. (Yeah!)

I don’t want to cry in my bed.

Verse 1
I made you a part of my life, made you my priority.

Verse 2

But my loyalty’s the carat ring (yeah)
I just don’t wanna see myself, again, in pain.

Don't Breathe Too Loud
(Written and Arranged by Ralph Ong)

Verse 1
Another day to be, acting all kinds of busy
Wondering who’s loving me despite becoming bitchy
One drink upon my hand, it’s water not a whisky
Complaining for my plans and got nothin’ in my belly

Pre-Chorus
What if I skip all the daylight? (ah-ah)
What if I stay up in late nights? (ah-ah)
Chip on my shoulder and vague cries,
So I don’t breathe too loud so they won’t hear a thing.

Chorus
I, I, I can’t find another place to hi-i-ide
Don’t have no confidential ti-i-ime
Just wanna be alone this ti-i-ime
Leave me be I’ll be happy

Verse 2
I’ll say it honestly
I’m left out in most cases
I really cannot be someone who meets somebody
Tied in this bed sheet like beehives with no honey,
So ya’ll can bear with me, I’m keeping it a lowkey.

Pre-Chorus
What if I skip all the daylight? (ah-ah) (Oh, no)
What if I stay up in late nights? (ah-ah) (late nights)
Chip on my shoulder and vague cries,
So I don’t breathe too loud so they won’t hear a thing.

Chorus
I, I, I can’t find another place to hi-i-ide (Oh, -nother place to hide)
Don’t have no confidential ti-i-ime
Just wanna be alone this ti-i-ime (ah, oh)

Add Up
(Written and Arranged by Ralph Ong)
Chorus
Some things just don’t sit right, now.
Driving head straight to wrong routes,
‘Cause we’re still young to find out,
Don’t need to add things up, now.
 
Verse 1
I’ve been known to this mindless loudness; noises from ear-to-ear,
Bet you’re over it.
Though, it’s warmer inside, went with coldness outside.
Am I wrong or just dumb? Or too late? Or just young?
Maybe then I’ll find my real self, (Yes, maybe.)
And it’s okay if I don’t seek for help.
If I ended up lost, best believe I’m a boss,
I can do it my way; I can make it my way.
 
Pre-Chorus
I can complain at this point of living,
The world won’t stop, won’t stop deceiving.
I’ll take what’s mine to be fair,
And even though I know how to let go…
 
Chorus
Some things just don’t sit right, now.
Driving head straight to wrong routes,
‘Cause we’re still young to find out,
Don’t need to add things up, now. (Add things up, now)
 
Verse 2
Honesty, it still bugs me big time,
Seeking for peace ‘cause it’s never mine.
Then I’m looking at you; you seem brand new and cool.
Then you’re looking at me, and I act like a fool.
Racks on racks, want what you don’t have. (Don’t have)
Breakdowns at nights to grow up. (Grow up)
It be dreamy and clean all alone in my room,
But it still bothers me that I’m just on my own.
Why, oh, why… I’m just on my own?
Laying quiet…ly… with headphones on.
 
Pre-Chorus
I can complain at this point of living,
The world won’t stop, won’t stop deceiving. (deceiving)
I’ll take what’s mine to be fair,
And even (and even) though I know (how to let go) how to let go… (Yeah!)
 
Chorus
Some things just don’t sit right, now.
Driving head straight to wrong routes,
‘Cause we’re still young to find out,
Don’t need to add things up, now.
 
Some things just don’t sit right, now.
Driving head straight to wrong routes,
‘Cause we’re still young to find out, (way too young, oh-woah-oh)
