Make You Feel Better

It's hard to know where to start
It's hard to open up when all you've done for years is learn to guard your hard and build up walls so high that no one else can see...
That everyday you numb your pain with another pill to drown out all the voices in your head but you still wonder if they know you're not the man they thought you'd be.
So you push away the people that love you,
cause you're so afraid of what they might think of you
You feel like such a disappointment sometimes

And you say, you're doing ok,
because it's easier than telling everyone how it feels
And you say, you're doing ok,
because to tell the truth would mean you'd have to face that it's real

It's hard to know where to start 
when everytime you try your hopes and dreams,
everything just seems to fall apart 
and leave you wondering, "Is there really something more?"
So you do your best to leave your past behind you,
but some way somehow it always seems to find you,
picking up the pieces of your heart off the floor

And you say, you're doing ok,
because it's easier than telling everyone how it feels
And you say, you're doing ok,
because to tell the truth would mean you'd have to face that it's real

🎤 Lyrics:

[Chorus]
I'ma keep it nice
I'ma keep it neat
I'ma keep it sugar
I'ma keep it sweet

I'ma keep it nice, nice
neat, neat, sugar sugar sweet,
I'ma keep it nice, nice
neat, neat, sugar sugar sweet

[Verse 1]
Baby got me acting like a mess
Dropping all my papers, got me stressed
But when you look my way, I gotta confess
I try to keep composed, I do my best
Got my heart beating like a drummer boy
Every time you smile, oh what a joy
I'm spilling coffee on my favorite dress
But for you baby, I won't let it show, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Like cotton candy melting in the rain
My composure's slipping, going insane
But I'll hold it together, won't complain
'Cause baby you're my sweet refrain

[Chorus]
I'ma keep it nice
I'ma keep it neat
I'ma keep it sugar
I'ma keep it sweet

I'ma keep it nice, nice
neat, neat, sugar sugar sweet,
I'ma keep it nice, nice
neat, neat, sugar sugar sweet

[Verse 2]
Like a cupcake with the frosting right
Everything's positioned, pure delight
Though inside I'm burning up tonight
Gotta keep my cool and do this right
You're my chocolate-covered fantasy
Got me dizzy like I'm sugar-free
Baby what you do to little me
Got me acting crazy can't you see

[Pre-Chorus]
Like caramel dripping from my lips
Sweet sensations with these butterflips
Can't contain the feeling as it slips
Baby got me caught up in this bliss

[Chorus]
I'ma keep it nice
I'ma keep it neat
I'ma keep it sugar
I'ma keep it sweet

I'ma keep it nice, nice
neat, neat, sugar sugar sweet,
I'ma keep it nice, nice
neat, neat, sugar sugar sweet

[Bridge]
Baby sweet like honey
Got me acting funny
Try to play it cool but you know
That I'm unraveling, baby
Can't help myself lately
When you're near me, oh

[Chorus]
I'ma keep it nice
I'ma keep it neat
I'ma keep it sugar
I'ma keep it sweet

I'ma keep it nice, nice
neat, neat, sugar sugar sweet,
I'ma keep it nice, nice
neat, neat, sugar sugar sweet

[Outro]
Mmm, sweet love
Oh baby, sugar sweet
(Sweet love, sweet love)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[fade out]

A Life Without You

Everytime I leave your embrace
I'm counting down the hours, minutes, seconds til I get to see your face. 
baby its so hard to explain 
I met u and now ill never be the same 
I want to be closer to you
I want to be closer to you
even with your body pressed against me
I still wish you could be closer to me
so if your love comes....rushes through me

I'll still wish you could be closer to me

Only Boxes

What if all these embers are what's left of this December, and there's no more you and me together now?
I guess some things can't last forever, but it's making me remember you and me on Christmas Eve.
I don't know how you expect that I can sit beside the fire watching it die.

I guess you can't hold love too close to the fire, or it'll burn, it'll burn, it'll burn...
and what can I do if I'm not who you desire, but let it burn, let it burn, let it burn...let the fire burn.

Running out of whiskey, drunk texting you, "Do you miss me?"
Got my volume up, but i won't hear a sound.
The night is growing colder
Just can't accept that this this is over.
Someone tell me what Im supposed to do now?
