I wake up in the mornings
Got this strange feeling that I can't deny
This trust we built, it’s broken
I feel like dying inside

'Cause you were loving him, oh yes, undressed,
Got his hands all on your chest
You're loving it
Unfaithful
While you were sleeping in, I'm wide-awake
got me wondering
Is he really just a friend?
You were unfaithful

Yes you were baby
You were

I used to savor the taste of your love
What I gave you didn't please you, it was never enough
I hope he gives you all you need
But when he loves you and leaves you, don't come crying back to me

'Cause you were loving him, oh yes, undressed,
Got his hands all on your chest
You're loving it
Unfaithful
While you were sleeping in, I'm wide-awake
got me wondering
Is he really just a friend?
You were unfaithful

All we built, burn it down
All we built, burn it down
All we built, burn it down
All we built, burn it down

'Cause you were loving him, oh yes, undressed,
Got his hands all on your chest
You're loving it
Unfaithful
While you were sleeping in, I'm wide-awake
got me wondering
Is he really just a friend?
You were unfaithful

You were, you were, unfaithful
Burn it down, ah-uh-huh yeah
Wide-awake, wide-awake, I’m wide-awake got me wondering 
Unfaithful
Just a friend, is he just a friend, I don’t think so baby 
You were unfaithful.

Unfaithful

The lights are low
The night is coming to a close 
And I’ve got to go 
But I don’t want to leave now
I don’t want to leave now 

Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, cause I’ll be gone

A goodbye kiss 
Isn’t enough to sustain this waning bliss 
‘Cause tomorrow its you I’ll miss 
And I don’t want to leave now 
I don’t want to leave now 

Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, cause I’ll be gone

The night is young and so are we 
I’ll be your Adam if you be my Eve
Nothing but love between these sheets 
So come on baby take a bite of that apple tree
Oooooooooh, Oooooooh, Oooooooh

The lights are low
The night is coming to a close 
And I’ve got to go 
But I don’t want to leave now

Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, when you see the sun 
Hold me tight to the morning light, cause I’ll be gone

Morning Light

The tide keeps on rolling 
The white rivers keep on flowing 
The sun it sets and the sun it rises
I can see good love on my horizon

I can see that freight train coming 
Carrying cargo of change 
Can’t ya hear the tracks? They’re hummin’
They’re calling your name

‘Cause I waited so long
Lover, when you gonna come?
‘Cause I waited so long
Lover, when you gonna come?

Everywhere I go I see pairs of two now
One red rose under one evergreen
The picture of passion under the veil of eternity 
Can’t wait to sow this love I’mma reap

I can see that freight train coming 
Carrying cargo of change 
Can’t ya hear the tracks? They’re hummin’
They’re calling your name

‘Cause I waited so long
Lover, when you gonna come?
‘Cause I waited so long
Lover, when you gonna come?

‘Cause I waited so long
Lover, when you gonna come?
‘Cause I waited so long
Lover, when you gonna come?

Lover, When You Gonna Come?

I’ve got a shelf full of participation trophies
A closet worn by somebody else, text books that are getting lonely
Will I ever be enough, Will I ever be enough, Will I ever be enough?
Ah the pressure’s bringin me down 

Pressure separates the strong from the weak 
Pressure makes men rise up or fall to their knees
Pressure I can feel it tryin’ a dig me six feet deep
Pressure won’t you make a diamond out of me?

And the nerves they come in waves 
Drowning out my thoughts until all I know is my heart rate, heart rate
I got to rise up, I got to rise up, I got to rise up
Before the pressure, before the pressure, before the pressure brings me down

Pressure separates the strong from the weak 
Pressure makes men rise up or fall to their knees
Pressure I can feel it tryin’ a dig me six feet deep
Pressure won’t you make a diamond out of me?

Is that the ceiling coming down or am I breaking through the roof now?
Is that the ceiling coming down or am I breaking through the roof now?
Is that the ceiling coming down or am I breaking through the roof now?
Is that the ceiling coming down or am I breaking through the roof now?

Pressure separates the strong from the weak 
Pressure makes men rise up or fall to their knees
Pressure I can feel it tryin’ a dig me six feet deep
Pressure won’t you make a diamond out of me?

Pressure


There’s shrapnel shredding through my head 
Scattered syllables on my mind’s battlefield dead 
This is the point of no return; this is civil war
Jackhammer to concrete; my beating heart on our bedroom floor

Where were you when I was crying?
My soul searched but I couldn’t find ya

And I reached out to try and save us 
But I’m left wondering how this all came crashing down
I would’ve thought you’d come running by now
Farther, we grow farther
Farther, we grow farther

Stolen covers you’re a silent thief
Shivering feet remind me nightly of just how cold you can be 
The tentacles of our tangled sheets they drag me down
The distance between us an ocean in which I drown 

And all I learned from you is this: 
Life’s a thriller and love’s a bitch 

And I reached out to try and save us 
But I’m left wondering how this all came crashing down
I would’ve thought you’d come running by now
Farther, we grow farther
Farther, we grow farther

And I reached out to try and save us 
But I’m left wondering how this all came crashing down
I would’ve thought you’d come running by now
Farther, we grow farther
Farther, we grow farther

Farther (...We Grow)

Unfaithful Live @ World Cafe Live

Lyrics:
Going from love to locked doors ain’t easy,
But pretty soon I’ll be cutting crooked teeth into new keys, yea
And the midnight fog of our lost love will be lifted by morrow’s rays
In the morning light, I’ll be marching on to brighter days

I was lost, but now I’m found
Used to sing sad songs now happy tunes come pouring out my mouth
Funny how when I was down and out, didn’t think I would turn it around
But I know now, the grass is greener after rain comes pouring down

I tried everything to forget about you 
But I sang sad songs so I still got the blues 
Then I turned on that Motown, those James Brown Soul tunes  
Well he turned me around, gave me back my crown, said “Don’t play the fool, no.”

I was lost, but now I’m found
Used to sing sad songs now happy tunes come pouring out my mouth
Funny how when I was down and out, didn’t think I would turn it around
But I know now, the grass is greener after rain comes pouring down

The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it
The grass is greener where you water it

I was lost, but now I’m found
Used to sing sad songs now happy tunes come pouring out my mouth
Funny how when I was down and out, didn’t think I would turn it around
But I know now, the grass is greener after rain comes pouring down

Brighter Days

Lyrics: 

have you ever wanted something, 
something so bad
that you'd die if you couldn't 
couldn't have it 
that's the way i feel about ya baby, i feel about ya
that's the way i feel about ya

oh baby you're a sweet taste of apple pie
a thick slice of that good life
i'd die a thousand deaths for you to call my name 
you ain't just drop dead gorgeous,
you're drop dead everything

you're the gold in a sea of glitter 
a red rose in full bloom in the middle of winter
don't ya know that i want ya
i want ya so bad 
oh baby, i want ya

oh baby you're a sweet taste of apple pie
a thick slice of that good life
i'd die a thousand deaths for you to call my name 
you ain't just drop dead gorgeous,
you're drop dead everything

before the day i met ya love was something to forget but baby now i'm obsessed

oh baby you're a sweet taste of apple pie
a thick slice of that good life
i'd die a thousand deaths for you to call my name 
you ain't just drop dead gorgeous,
you're drop dead everything

Gorgeous

How damn beautiful was our descent from love? 
Porcelain's got a funny way of shimmering when it falls
Now I'm a broken man, I'm so confused
Cause every thought I think of is still a thought of you

From the 5 and dime where we first met
to the pink dress you wore when we first kissed 
to the twist in our sheets when you can't sleep 
to the tears that stream down your cheeks 

I don't wanna be in love
so I'll forget the salted cherry taste of your lips and 
I don't wanna be in love 
so I'll forget your face and replace it hit rewind to the first time we met and erase it. 
I don't wanna be in love

How I longed to hold you in my arms
every morning you snooze the alarm
but I wake up early just to breath in what you exhale
Now I got this new love, she's a stranger
we play dress up for the sake of some fake love, she's my barbie and I'm her Ken doll
But its all pretend, Can't get your last words out of my head, you said, 
you're a selfish piece of shit, don't you know that? 

I don't wanna be in love
so I'll forget the salted cherry taste of your lips and 
I don't wanna be in love 
so I'll forget your face and replace it hit rewind to the first time we met and erase it. 
I don't wanna be in love

You're a selfish piece of shit don't ya know that?
You're a selfish piece of shit don't ya know that?
You're a selfish, I'm so selfish
I'm a selfish piece of shit, I know that
I don't wanna be in love.
