The Way I Am (Cover)- Genna Batson

lyrics if u want them:
(from genius)

[Verse 1]
Clasping your necklace
Zipping your dress
Hands on your waist
Kissing your neck
I love your body
I love your mind
They will change
So will mine


[Chorus]
But you are my best guess
At the future
You are my best guess
If I were a gambling man, and I am
You'd be my best bet

[Verse 2]
Tracing your tan lines
Making you mine
If this doesn't work out
I'll lose my mind
And after a while
I will be fine
But I don't wanna be fine
I want you, you

[Chorus]
You are my best guess at the future
You are my bеst guess
If I were a gambling man, and I am
You'd bе my best bet

[Bridge]
Here is the church
Here is the steeple
You were looking for saints
But you only found people
Ain't that just the way it goes
I watched you fall from grace
You were graceful
After all, it's a small world
You may not be an angel
But you are my girl
You are my pack a day
You are my favorite place
You were my best friend before you were

My best guess at the future
You are my best guess
If I were a gambling man, and I am
You'd be my best bet
You are my best guess at the future
You are my best guess
If I were a gambling man, and I am
You'd be my best bet

Riptide (Vance Joy Cover)

The chorus of the Heat is an analogy that depicts an abusive relationship as a dance. Throughout the story, you listen as the main character of the song (the singer), struggles with confronting her loved one about his substance abuse. She is forced into this figurative dance of silence and does not speak up out of fear of hurting their relationship. Eventually, the singer finds the courage to stand up for herself and get out of the relationship before she is also destroyed by his substance abuse. I hope this song empowers people in similar situations to acknowledge their loved ones and stick up for themselves.

Glaciers (Live From The Living Room)

Soldier's Game

Lyrics:
Candles flicker on your window pane
Illuminate a sober face
Dripping wax and broken wings

Reluctantly you let me in
You don't meet my eyes
And you bow your chin 
But I know
God knows I know

You are not the sun
I know you've always won
But now you're falling fast 
You're breathing ash
It's a long way down
And you're short on cash
And I can only watch you burn

Silence that reverberates
It understands
It fills this space 
Finally it's enough
For you

Oh, you haven't been full in quite some time
Empty cups
An empty mind
I pray you're satisfied tonight

You are not the sun
I know you've always won
But now you're falling fast
You're breathing ash
It's a long way down
And you're short on cash
And I can only watch you burn

Remember this feeling next time
For I won't be by your side
All your light has made you blind
Though I love you
Though I love you
Though I love

You are not the sun
I know you've always won

Burn
