It feels weird being alone
For the first time
In awhile
It feels weird being alone
When I had a future
With you figured out

I pulled up at the spot where we had our first date
I pulled up at the spot where we had our first kiss
How am I supposed to believe in love when
Forever no longer exists

I say I’m over things, but I overthink
About what could have been
I say I’m over you, but I know
You’re in my dreams every single night
I don’t know how to live
Cause you’re gone
Cause you’re gone
I don’t know how to live
Cause you’re gone
Cause you’re gone
You are gone

It feels weird being alone
For the first time
In awhile
It feels weird being alone
When I had a future
With you figured out

I pulled up at the spot where had our last fight
I pulled up at the spot where we said our goodbyes
How am I supposed to believe in love when
Forever no longer exists

I know you’re out there somewhere happy
I hope you’re out there somewhere lonely
Thinking about everything that we’ve been through
Oh what could’ve been

I reminisce about when we met the first time
I vividly remember the promises you made
How am I supposed to believe in love when
Forever no longer exists

Gone

What are your standards looking like
Cause I know that my mama raised me right
I wonder if I can wear you as my crown
Will you turn me from a prince into a king
I'm trying to be reasonable for you
And assure you of your value and your worth
Cause I know what's it like to play around
Now I make intentions clear 
And play no games

Are my expectations too high
Am I wishing for too much
What I'm asking for is a chance 
To make you mine
We should give us a try

I could be the hero that you need
You can make yourself at home with me
I want you to be comfortable with me
And to make your spirit feel at ease
I could be the one who saves the day
And the one who sweeps you off your feet
I want to prove that you're the one for me
I'm trying to bring you home
Bring you home to mama

What is your perspective on love
Or your ideal version of the one
Is he someone you romanticize
I'm hoping that I can become your type
I wonder if fairy tales come true
And If there really are happy endings
Cause I used to think the stars did not align
And love was just a fantasy

Am I thinking too far ahead
Have I been dreaming way too much
What I'm asking for is a chance 
To make you mine
We should give us a try

I could be the hero that you need
You can make yourself at home with me
I want you to be comfortable with me
And to make your spirit feel at ease
I could be the one who saves the day
And the one who sweeps you off your feet
I want to prove that you're the one for me
I'm trying to bring you home
Bring you home to mama

All I'm asking for is a chance to make you mine
We should give us a try
Give us a try

The Hero

Love ain't easy
Love ain't fair
She said love is a war 
And it's worth the fight
She won't take no prisoners
And I've been playing a game
Cause I take pride in staying the same
When I just need to change

She just wants to hold me down
She wants to keep me around
She wants me as her own
Her own, her own, her own

We got no room for assumptions
We're just trying to function
We gotta get better with 
Communication, communication 
It's all or nothing
No in between, no
Gotta make up for the lack of
Communication, communication

Love hardens your heart
And softens your soul
She told me love takes time to build
She won't take no bullshit
And I've been playing a fool
Cause I take pride in keeping it cool
When I need to retool

She just wants to talk things out
She just wants to work things out
She wants me as her own
Her own, her own, her own

We got no room for assumptions
We're just trying to function
We gotta get better with 
Communication, communication 
It's all or nothing
No in between, no
Gotta make up for the lack of
Communication, communication

She just wants to talk things out
She just wants to work things out
She wants me as her own
Her own, her own, her own

We got no room for assumptions
We're just trying to function
We gotta get better with 
Communication, communication 
It's all or nothing
No in between, no
Gotta make up for the lack of
Communication, communication

Communication

How can I convince you to change your mind about me
I know my first impression ain’t the greatest
But there’s more beneath the surface
If you search through all the layers
All the things that make me whole
I believe you’ll be surprised
I believe you’ll be surprised

I don’t have a doubt that I
That I can be the man for you
If you take a chance on me
If you take a chance on me

I’m just looking for the green light
Girl I’m just looking for the green light
Will you warm up to me
I don’t mean to seem so cold
I can make you feel at home
I’m just looking for the green light

How can I show you that I’m the one
That you need
I don’t know if I’m your ideal type
But I’ll make my move anyway
Cause I got nothing to lose
And everything to prove
I’m giving you all the signs
I’m giving you all the signs

There is no doubt that I
That I can be the man for you
So will you take a chance on me
Will you take a chance on me 

I’m just looking for the green light
Girl I’m just looking for the green light
Will you warm up to me
I don’t mean to seem so cold
I can make you feel at home
I’m just looking for the green light

I’m just looking for the green light
Girl I’m just looking for the green light
I don’t want to second guess
I only want an honest chance
Can you let me get through to you
I’m just looking for the green light

I’m just looking for the green light
Girl I’m just looking for the green light
Will you warm up to me
I don’t mean to seem so cold
I can make you feel at home
I’m just looking for the green light

I’m just looking for the green light
Girl I’m just looking for the green light
I don’t want to second guess
I only want an honest chance
Can you let me get through to you
I’m just looking for the green light

Green Light

I saw the sparkle in your eyes
When you stared at me
There’s an aura about you
That's undeniable
I saw the sparkle in your eyes
When I made you mine
You’re purely illuminating
It’s just like magic
You’re just like magic

I remember when I first laid eyes on you
Your glow radiated from light years away
I'm captivated and lost in awe
You’re like a fairy tale come true
Cupid shot his arrows my way
And brought me an angel from the Milky Way

I don’t know what it means to fall in love
But I'm on top of the world when I’m with you

I saw the sparkle in your eyes
When you stared at me
There’s an aura about you
That's undeniable
I saw the sparkle in your eyes
When I made you mine
You’re purely illuminating
It’s just like magic
You’re just like magic

Aura (Just Like Magic)

What are you gonna do for love
How am I gonna show you love
Baby won't you receive it
Will you reciprocate it

What are you gonna do for love
How far will you go for love
Baby won't you receive it
How can I make you believe me

What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do
For love

What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do
For love

DO 4 LOVE (Interlude)

You've seen the best of me
And the wretched parts of me
But the best has yet to come
I know we're meant to be
We went through hell and back
To get to where we are today
Forget the past and let's run straight into the future

There's nothing left to hide
All my burdens lifted off
No one else but you and I
No more wandering eyes
I began to realize that you were there for me the whole time
You took me as I am the good, bad and ugly

This time I swear that I will be better
I hope that there’s another chance to show you
That I'm worth the fight, and we will make it through together

This time I'll be better
This time I'll be better
This time I'll be better

It only seemed like yesterday
When you decided to walk away 
It was just a big mistake
I don't mean the words I said
Just caught up in emotion
Sick of all the commotion
I pray that you'll forgive me and be willing to start anew

This time I swear that I will be better
I hope that there’s another chance to show you
That I'm worth the fight, and we will make it through together

This time I'll be better
This time I'll be better
This time I'll be better
I'll be better

This Time

When life gives you lemons
Make yourself a lemonade
To help you keep cool under pressure
To help you keep cool under pressure
I know that it’s hard sometimes
But life gets worse before it gets better
Life gets worse before it gets better
Life gets worse before it gets better
When life gives you lemons
Make yourself a lemonade
Lemonade

They say that character is developed under pressure
And my responses help me conquer my depression
Pressure makes diamonds as I go through every season
And I know love’s the answer in every single situation

Will I fall in love again
Can I make things right again
I’ll move forward while I hope that she’ll come back to me
I won’t trip, I’ll sit back and relax
And pray to God, look at the stars as I’m sipping on my lemonade 

When life gives you lemons
Make yourself a lemonade
To help you keep cool under pressure
To help you keep cool under pressure
I know that it’s hard sometimes
But life gets worse before it gets better
Life gets worse before it gets better
Life gets worse before it gets better
When life gives you lemons
Make yourself a lemonade
Lemonade

Lemonade

You got me
You got me in the palm of your hand
Subjected to your every move
Baby you got me hypnotized, mesmerized
You are lovely
In every sense, you’re everything
That I have been searching for
So it seems, can it be

I always hoped that I’d find love someday
Even if the wait seemed like forever
I knew that I would fall in love again
But I don’t know how to react

Just caught up in these damn feelings
I’m lost in the depth of your smile
When I look into your eyes
They just take my breath away
Just caught up in these damn feelings
I’m in an ocean surrounded with emotions
I’ll be riding that wave
Will you come along with me
Will you come along with me

Don’t you hesitate my darling
Just know that no one else compares to you
You can always run to me, whenever you’re in need
My love for you will always stay the same

I'm caught up in these damn feelings
I’m lost in the depth of your smile
When I look into your eyes
They just take my breath away
Just caught up in these damn feelings
I’m in an ocean surrounded with emotions
I’ll be riding that wave
Will you come along with me
Will you come along with me

These Damn Feelings

You read me like a book when we first met
Inserting yourself in the unwritten chapters
Now I can’t imagine myself without you forever

I kept treading waters by myself for the longest time
When you came in my life, you traversed my troubled path
And made me better 

You started the fire in my soul
Pursued me with your unrelenting love
It’s comforting to know that I will never be alone
I’ll run this race until the end with you

You’ve brought me up when I was feeling down
You were there during my darkest hour and my greatest triumph
Now I know for sure, I got your love to lean on forever

There were times when I thought there would be 40 days of rain
But you were always there even when I’m in a mess
And you made me better
You started the fire in my soul
Pursued me with your unrelenting love
It’s comforting to know that I will never be alone

I’ll run this race until the end with you
I’ll run this race till death do us part
I’ll run this race until the end with you

Start The Fire

Let's take it slow
And let our love grow
There's no need to rush it
No need to be hurt
Let's take it slow 
And let it all flow
It's not gonna be perfect
But it all just seems right
Let's take it slow

Time has changed
And so has the tempo
Let's see how things play out
Cause I will not force anything
I built up my courage 
Just to try to make a move
Cause we have built a friendship
But I know that there is something more

I know that I should not be scared
Can I let my fingers brush through your hair

Let's take it slow
And let our love grow
There's no need to rush it
No need to be hurt
Let's take it slow 
And let it all flow
It's not gonna be perfect
But it all just seems right
Let's take it slow

I never wanted you more than I do right now
I know it's not just make believe
Cause you're right here smiling back at me
I know love is not a game
I'm not a fool to fall in love
But you're the one who proved me wrong
I want to show real love for you

I know that I should not be scared
Can I let my fingers brush through your hair

Let's take it slow
And let our love grow
There's no need to rush it
No need to be hurt
Let's take it slow 
And let it all flow
It's not gonna be perfect
But it all just seems right
Let's take it slow

Let's take it slow
And let our love grow
There's no need to rush it
No need to be hurt
Let's take it slow 
And let it all flow
It's not gonna be perfect
But it all just seems right
Let's take it slow

It's not gonna be perfect
But it all just seems right
Let's take it slow

Take It Slow

Tangible affection
We were made to last
The simplest thought of you
Is enough for me to make it through the day
You caught my attention
There's nothing that's more sure
I'll give you all I got
And you will get all of me

It's you
It's true
My love for you just fills the air
I'm never alone
Let's walk this journey hand in hand
It's you

I try to paint your picture 
The canvas far from clean
It doesn't matter with flaws and all
You're still so lovely to me
I try to make you smile
To brighten up your day
I'll wipe those tears from your weary eyes
There's no need to worry with me

It's you
It's true
My love for you just fills the air
I'm never alone
Let's walk this journey hand in hand
It's you

There's nothing that compares
There ain't nobody but you
The sweetest days come with the restless nights
But I wouldn't change a thing

It's you
It's true
My love for you just fills the air
I'm never alone
Let's walk this journey hand in hand

It's you
It's true
My love for you just fills the air
I'm never alone
Let's walk this journey hand in hand
It's you
It's you
It's you

Tangible Affection

I'm addicted to the thought of you
The thought of us reuniting together 
And becoming one
Never thought your absence 
Would hurt so much
But once I dream of you 
Everything seems sane

Every night I'm wondering where you are
Are you just a text or call away
I wonder if I can meet you halfway

I stared at the sky like I'm Galileo
I saw through the moons and galaxy
I looked at the stars
And they are guiding me home
And home for me is wherever you are

I'm enamored with the chances
The possibilities of starting over
Making everything brand new
I'll hold on to the promise
You made when we were younger
That we will find each other again someday

Every night I pray you're doing fine
Are you still a text or call away
I hope that I can meet you halfway

I stared at the sky like I'm Galileo
I saw through the moons and galaxy
I looked at the stars
And they are guiding me home
And home for me is wherever you are

I stared at the sky like I'm Galileo
I saw through the moons and galaxy
I looked at the stars
And they are guiding me home
And home for me is wherever you are

Galileo

Many years ago, I was the new kid in town
Didn’t know a person or a single soul
New culture, new environment 
And learning to adjust
But you befriended me from the first day

We go back to high school
You were the homie, you were the homegirl
That I needed
I was a loner 
And so damn awkward
You made me feel like I belong

‘Cause I’d be lost without you
You’re with me in spirit always
Though now we are oceans apart
Just know that I’m with you
Just know that I’m with you
I’m a call and text away
Just know that I’m with you
Whenever you’re in need
I’ll always be with you

They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder
Our bond became tighter over time
Our spirits grew together with age
And you’ve shown that you’re my true best friend

It’s been a while since high school
You’re still the homie, you’re still the homegirl
That I needed
I’m still a loner
And so damn awkward
But you made me feel like I belong

‘Cause I’d be lost without you
You’re with me in spirit always
Though now we are oceans apart
Just know that I’m with you
Just know that I’m with you
I’m a call and text away
Just know that I’m with you
Whenever you’re in need
I’ll always be with you

I’m a call and text away
Just know that I’m with you
Whenever you’re in need
I’ll always be with you

With U

I remember when I picked you up from the airport at 5 AM
And you drank endless shots of vodka in my car
We hung out at the beach and you talked to me about your exes
I should've seen the red flags
Should've seen the red flags

I thought you were the one when you texted me all the sparkles, and starry eyes
I wanted to give you the world and all its moons
But on the day we met you told me our stars did not align
I should've seen the red flags
Should've seen the red flags

Girl you took me on a roller coaster ride
That ended sooner than I would have liked
I thought I was prepared for all the twists and turns with you
But my horizons have expanded
And you set me up for someone better for me

I remember the time I met your dad when I dropped you off home
And he asked you why you didn't have a boyfriend yet
Then I told you how I felt about you it went downhill
I should've seen the red flags
Should've seen the red flags

Girl you took me on a roller coaster ride
That ended sooner than I would have liked
I thought I was prepared for all the twists and turns with you
But my horizons have expanded
And you set me up for someone better for me

They say time can heal all wounds
And I will gain back what I lost
Well I gained it all back and more

You might have took me on a roller coaster ride
That ended sooner than I would have liked
I thought I was prepared for all the twists and turns with you
But my horizons have expanded
And now my eyes are set on someone who's better than you

I remember all the memories we shared together
Now that’s all done
Nostalgia is a hell of drug 
And I am through
Someone better than you
