Verse 1
Are you gonna listen to the words I say?
Did you just ask for my advice and then walk away?
I'm not trying to tell you what to do
I'm just trying to keep you from making the same mistakes that I've made before you

Chorus
I'm not always right, I'm often wrong
But learn from me
I'm laying a path that you can use
Without paying a fee

Verse 2
Life is a puzzle that's all spread apart
But it gets easier when you know where the boundaries are
You take one piece, put it with another
Now you can see the big picture full of all of the pieces you put together and now uncovered

Chorus
I'm not always right, I'm often wrong
But learn from me
I'm laying a path that you can use
Without paying a fee

Bridge
Are you gonna listen
to the words I say?
Didn't you just ask for my advice?
Don't throw it away!

Chorus
I'm not always right, I'm often wrong
But learn from me
I'm laying a path that you can use
Without paying a fee

I'm not always right, I'm often wrong
But learn from me
I'm laying a path that you can use
Without paying a fee

Free Advice

Verse 1
We could spend some time apart
But still I know my heart would beat
It would pound for you
 
I don't need you here with me
To know that you and me are we
Because I'm secure in what we have
 
Chorus
And we don't spend every second together 'cause we already know
We don't need the other lover to fill a gap and make us feel whole
I love you and I need you in my life
Time and distance can't break this heart of mine
 
Verse 2
I like when you are calling me
But I don't think you're trying to break free
When you don't respond
 
You have places you need to be
Your own pace and plans to keep you busy
And I have mine
 
Chorus
And we don't spend every second together 'cause we already know
We don't need the other lover to fill a gap and make us feel whole
I love you and I need you in my life
Time and distance can't break this heart of mine
 
Bridge
When you need me I'll be there by your side
I'll be your shelter, your shield, and you be mine
And when you need some space, I'll let   you        breathe
Because I trust you'll come back to me
 
Chorus
And we don't spend every second together 'cause we already know
We don't need the other lover to fill a gap and make us feel whole
I love you and I need you in my life
Time and distance can't break this heart of mine
Time and distance can't break this heart of mine
Time and distance can't break this heart of mine

Heart Of Mine

Verse 1
Why would I make it easy on you?
Just let you walk away
I want to fight for the love that we shared
But it is worth it to feel this way
 
Were there signs there that I did not see?
Was it all in my head?
I thought that the doubts were all gone
And that you were forever with me

Chorus 
Now I'm brokenhearted
Wondering when the end had started
Just wanting to wish it away
 
Verse 2
I love you so, and I know that you know
Part of my heart will never fade
Scars will lay where there once was name
Memories of yesterdays
 
Still searching for the answers I'm missing
Was there nothing I did wrong?
I need to know so I can grow
And maybe next time I'll be the one
 
Chorus 2
Now I'm brokenhearted
Wondering when the end had started
Just wanting to wish it away
 
Scared take one step forward
Feels like admitting it's over
When all I want to say is
"Goodnight, sweet dreams, I love you" again again
Goodbye, take care, I loved you

Brokenhearted

Verse 1
Is it selfish to want to be happy?
When happiness is not everyday
To want to hold on without knowing
Where our paths will lead
 
I wake up each day waiting to come home
And fall asleep each night dreaming of you laying in my arms
Is it selfish to hold on without know
When the separations will end
 
Chorus
And oh, I know things are gonna get harder
And oh, I know things are gonna change
And oh, I know we can make it through it all
But I wouldn't ever want to change a thing
Girl you are my everything
 
Verse 2
Is the happiness worth the pain of when we part
How long can it go on before a threshold
What is the expectation of the end
Will it ever really be like before
 
When I'm with you I get lost in your eyes
Your smile, your lips, your words, your body
And while I'm away those are all that I dream of
Is it selfish? I'm not really sure
 
Chorus
And oh, I know things are gonna get harder
And oh, I know things are gonna change
And oh, I know we can make it through it all
But I wouldn't ever want to change a thing
Girl you are my everything

Through It All

Verse 1
Tread softly, you're breaking my heart
Deception fills my empty head, like water fills the riverbed
Take it easy, I can't find a way out
Out of those eyes of yours that lead me on without a doubt
 
Pre-Chorus
Why am I always wrong? Why are my feelings oh so strong?
Why do I always fall for the girl who'll never love me in return?
Why do I feel this way? I've loved her for just one day
But these feelings never seem to go aware 
 
Verse 2
I'm here, broken hearted at best
You picked me up then threw me down just so I'd hit the ground
I tried to run away, but you just pulled me back
Back to where I want to be, but the only I'll get never get to sleep
 
Pre-Chorus
Why am I always wrong? Why are my feelings oh so strong?
Why do I always fall for the girl who'll never love me in return?
Why do I feel this way? I've loved her for just one day
But these feelings never seem to go away
 
Chorus
Until she says, says that she loves me
Until she says, says that she'll be mine
Until she says, says that I'm the only one for her
And that she'll forever be mine
Mine

Bridge
Memories of you will start to fade away as time goes on
Never to remember but always in my heart
Don't wave at me like it stills means hello
I know what you to do to me but I just won't let you go
 
Chorus
Oh, Until she says, says that she loves me
Until she says, says that she'll be mine
Until she says, says that I'm the only one for her
And that she'll forever be mine
 
Oh, Until she says, says that she loves me
Until she says, says that she'll be mine
Until she says, says that I'm the only one for her
And that she'll forever be mine
Mine

Mine

Verse 1
This cage wasn't big enough 
for you to spread your wings and fly and get the space you need
This cage wasn't big enough
so you snuck out in the night never looking back to find me crying

Pre-Chorus
I should've been more sure that it was fresh air in our lungs, that it wasn't just the exhales of the things we did for love
I could've  done more for you, I could've shown you the world, but I locked us in the bedroom 

Chorus
Imagining a world, for just us two
Imagining a world, it was such a small ass room (it was a hundred square foot room)
Imagining a world, was it not enough for you?
Imagining a world, in a one hundred thirty two square foot room

Verse 2
I started tearing down the walls of this cage for two, 
the world is so much larger when not I'm locked up with you
Piece by piece and inch by inch, the walls keep tumbling down
Letting in the breeze on which my wings can finally be spread out

Pre-Chorus
I should've been more sure that it was fresh air in our lungs, that it wasn't just the exhales of the things we did for love
I could've  done more for you, I could've shown you the world, but I locked us in the bedroom 

Chorus
Imagining a world, for just us two
Imagining a world, it was such a small ass room (it was a hundred square foot room)
Imagining a world, was it not enough for you?
Imagining a world, in a one hundred thirty two square foot room
