"Make My Life"

I don't know what I'm doing
I don't have the right to cry
I know I made my bed, alright
But I, don't wanna lay in it tonight
And baby, don't get it confused
I know I wanted this, I know I bled for this
Hard when the moment hits, you realize just this, oh no

Some people let you down
She said that she don't feel the same
But baby, they ain't who I blame
'Cause they can make my day, but I can make my life, ah yeah

'Cause they can make my day, but I can make my life, ah yeah
And baby, what's a day, when I can make my life, ah yeah

I roll around and I crave you
I think I'm gonna die
I don't feel like savin' my life
But I, just can't be nothin', but I'm tired
And baby don't get it confused
I wanna be great things, but it's so hard to sing
Can't even see straight lines, keep wishin' you were mine, oh no

Sometimes I let me down
Sometimes I just don't feel the same
But man, you gotta quell the flames
'Cause they can make your day, but they can't make your life, oh no

'Cause they can make my day, but I can make my life, ah yeah
And baby, what's a day, when I can make my life, ah yeah

Ooh, oh yeah
If I knew, if I knew, if I knew
If I knew, the pain I would be spared
If 'bout what I do, I cared
More than at what I stare
But without is just not fair
But there's more to this than fair

(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
I don't know
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
Oh God, I'm so alone
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
Don't think I wanna know
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
Come on, pick up your phone
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
I'm going so slow
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
I think I wanna go
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
And now she's gone, so
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
I think I'd better go

I don't think so, you stupid man
Pick up your pen, take your own hand
You've got your gift and your heartbeat
And it ain't she, but it's all you'll need
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
So little's in control
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
Had pain and now I know
(Now whatcha doin' with ya?)
Oh for goodness' sake, with so much you take
Boy, you gotta make

Sometimes you are let down
Some people ain't the same
But baby, they ain't who I blame, oh no
'Cause they can make my day, but I can make my life

'Cause they can make my day, but I can make my life, ah yeah
And baby what's a day when I can make my life, ah yeah
'Cause they can make my day, but I can make my life, ah yeah
And baby what's a day when I can make my life, ah yeah

Make My Life

"Better"

It’s the last page
Of these last near two years
Time is running out and so has my papers
I lay down
Never get up to move
I lay dead
I’m too afraid to
All my betters did it better
What have I done
With two years and love and aspiration

It’s the last page
Gotta make everything count 
(So much pressure, pressure)
Only wanna give me something to remember

How damn long
Til I get somewhere better
Til I get somewhere better, better, better, oh
How damn long
I've been fightin' for years, to get where I want to be
Not where I hate to be
Tell me, give me strength to find, I need to find some better
Tell me, help me cross the line, I need to find some better

How did my betters do it better?
How did they use the time in the day?
When the day runs away, runs away, runs away
I lay down
I’m tryin to get up to move
Reminds me of what my father said when he said, he said
"I’m half dead
But I’m half alive"
But I could fuckin' cry as I ascend
The stairs of fuckin' necessity
If I keep going down, what will be left of me

It’s the last page
Gotta make everything count
(So much pressure, pressure)
And I don’t mind the thought of it testin' me
I just wish that I had the best of me

How
Damn loong
Til I get somewhere better
Til I get somewhere better, better, better, oh
How damn long
I been fightin my fears, just kiddin', wake up, now fight these tears
Tell me, give me strength to find, I need to find some better
Tell me, help me cross the line, save me and my mind, some better

She says I got an anger problem, I say that’s not unheard of
But I say that I’ve got no problem, like a problem’s unheard of
Think I’ve got an anxious problem, this behaviour's unheard of
Think I’ve got a progress problem, don’t wanna be unheard of
What do I do, what do you do, when it’s only you?

And I wish that I was singin of some kinda respiration
Not just one breath and stuck holdin' it all in
Hands on the means yet still I scream

How damn long
Til I get somewhere better
Til I get somewhere better, better, better, oh
How damn long
I been fightin my years, habits are enemies, my key to entropy
Tell me, give me strength to find, I need to find some better
Tell me, help me cross the line, I need to find some better
Can you tell me, help me flip these blinds, do not stop til I 
Say
(Will not stop til I)
(That's better)
Say
(Said it’s mine this time)
(That's better)
Say
(Promise self that I'll)
(That’s better)
Say
(That’s better)
Some better

Better

"Olivia"

[Intro]
Olivia
So pretty
I never knew ya like this before
Oh wha oh wha oh
Olivia
Come with me
Tell me where have you not been before
I’ll take-a you there

[Verse 1]
Or at least I’ll
Try to please, without the keys
Maybe it sounds funny but girl, I assure you
Give a second, honey, and I won’t have to lure ya
Got in the car, there sat you
And it was winter, sweetie, but I’m sure you remember
A middle seat between us and it felt like September
I must sound like I’ve got it together
So I can’t let you know better
That I
I’m surprised that you make it simple
Anything I do, g’mornin dimples

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Livia, yeah
You're funny too
Supercute to boot
And your attraction to me could be wishful thinkin
But you keep on havin whatever I’m drinkin
You got a man, I didn’t plan
To be the kind of guy I’d punch single file
All I wanna do is stay a while in your smile

And I might stay too long, cause before it was
Stare from afar, it wasnt hard,
To think a girl like u would just keep on walkin
But here we are, I’m charmin and you can’t stop talkin
And what a mouth that those words come out
I’d love to try to taste it if I may be so bold

Oh, ruby red is tha colour

[Bridge]
And I gotta write this down because there has been never
Ever a lady like she who got me better
But if just like the leaves in fall, oh
she’s like, end of it all 
Well this is what I’d do, I’d just take it higher
And I could care less, cause there’s whim and desire
And I know what I want, like the minute I saw her
Nobody else will everemove her garter
Cuz I’ll do anything to say that I’ve got her 
And I’ll be dumb enough to swim through any water
And if these—rocksbreakyourwindow,don’tcare, I’ll throw harder
And if that happens to get his blood runnin hotter
I’ll be dumb enough to take on your father
Swings between screams of I love your daughter
Just can’t take the thought of you, bebay, saunterin away from me

Carried away, what can I say
When you’re the finest thing that I’ve ever been knowin
And finally there’s somethin that I can see growin
The girl is the breeze, I’ve got the seeds
For you, I’ll do whatever reapin for my sowin
Oh 

Livy. x7, yeah, yeah

Livy. x2, 
So pretty
Come wit me
Sit wit me
Kiss wit me
Bewitch menrich me
Ooh! Give me all of ya

Olivia x a million

[Chorus 3]
Olivia
So pretty, I never knew ya like this before
Oh
Oooh

Livy

Olivia

"After All"

When I saw you, my hair was long
Told you all about my songs
So you took to me
Like you do, if you knew
After all

When you met me, the hour flew
Eyes the deepest shade of blue
And I locked with them
Like you do, like a fool
After all

When we are through, you rue the day
You ever heard about my songs, I know

So baby, don't fall in love
With a singer after all
(Don't you care about me? Would you leave it for me?)
Don't fall in love
With a

Go on your trip, stay a while
Take the pics, try to get me frustrated
Or come with me, stay the night
But only just the one, I'm busy later

And baby
All the nights I stray
But only in my mind, 'cause I love you, baby
And baby
All the nights I pray
For you to give me some that they throw at me

When you let go, feels real slow
But you don't wanna stay like they do after, no no

So baby, don't fall in love
With a singer after all
(Don't you care about me? Would you leave it for me?)
Don't fall in love
With a

But more than this, the thing, baby
There's something in my soul that drives me crazy
And it's just that, that is my life
And this is what I need to be, la-lady
And if you could understand me
You might've turned the other way, I see
But it's just me, the way I see
What's bigger gets put on repeat, yeah so

So baby, don't fall in love
With a singer after all
(Don't you care about me? Would you leave it for me?)
Don't fall in love
With a singer after all
(Don't you care about me? Would you leave it for me?)
Don't fall in love
With a singer after all
