First Impressions & Blindsides by TLIR (2013)

Well I know I can't compare now
You said, "First impressions of me are what I make them out to be"
This never mattered to me
So tell me why you continue painting portraits in black and white
Where is your color?
Show me your colors
And now the more and more I see right through you
The more and more I don't want to be stuck in this place
These walls you've built around you and I
Don't you think it's funny that I want you for all the things that you're not?
Take a step back!
I've never been one for apologies
You can't pretend you didn't see this
See this coming
And and not sorry for what I chose to say
Because your not sorry for the choices you made
The difference between you and I
I never lied about where I slept at night
And my heart can't beat any louder
What will it take for you to hear me?
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs inside
But my mouth can't find the words to say
To say that we could've been something more
But you had to make all of the wrong decisions
And to think what we had was more than this
We're more than this
The ones that break your heart are the ones that so easily piece it back together
Inside I know that what you said, and what you meant are two entirely different things
And my heart can't beat any louder
What will it take for you to hear me?
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs inside
But my mouth can't find the words to say
To say that we could've been something more
But you had to make all of the wrong decisions
And to think what we had was more than this
We're more than this

Stare At These Walls by Javi Flores of TLIR

Stare at these walls
Think of what I've done
Think of what I'll do
Just to realize that this is your fight

So I'll sit and contemplate ways to bring you back to me
When I need to face the facts that we may be not be meant to be
You and me
But my heart is torn in two
I've got my piece
The rest belongs to you
And I want to be whole again
But I can't pretend
No I can't pretend

So I'll stare at these walls
Think of what I've done
Think of what I'll do
Just to realize that this is your fight

Lets be honest just for a second
I know this may be hard for you
'Cause you can't sit there in his arms
And say you don't miss me like I miss you
But you know what?
Maybe here without you is the best thing I could do
And I'll keep telling myself that
'Cause it seems to help you too

Maybe I'm taking this all wrong
Maybe I'm taking this alright
But how can I let you go
without putting up some sort of fight?

So I'll stare at these walls
Think of what I've done
Think of what I'll do
Just to realize that this is your fight

So I'll stare at these walls
Think of what I've done
Think of what I'll do
And now I realize 
that you've won this fight
So I'll stare at these walls

Stare At These Walls

Take My Chances by Javi Flores

Do you even know how you are so beautiful baby
when I look at you, makes me wanna say that I love you
and call me cliche yeah, I'll say im guilty yeah
'cause you are my angel, you are my devil
you are everything that makes me feeling and willing
to do anything that I put my mind to yeah
but what if I put my heart towards you
would you run away, leaving me speechless with no words to sing or say
or would you stay, would you stay
I think I'll take my chances, I think I'll take my chances with you
Do you wanna go see things you've never seen before
I can take you only if you take my hand
and trust in me yeah, 'cause I'll trust in you yeah
'cause you are my angel, you are my devil
you are everything that makes me feeling and willing
to do anything that I put my mind to yeah
but what if I put my heart towards you

Take My Chances

Under the Moonlight by Javi Flores

With my eyes to the ceiling trying to figure where I went wrong
'Cause what we had was something special
Yeah what we had was something special
And now I'm all alone with nothing to do
Except reminisce where it all began

Under the moonlight I wrote you our first song
Under the moonlight you lost me as fast as you brought me along
Under the moonlight you had me singing all of your lies
And under the moonlight regrettably we had to say our goodbyes

Now the days have turned to months and I must confess
That I'm doing better than before
Yeah I'm doing better than before
But you don't know, No you don't know
And you probably never will know
How selfish you truly are, how selfish you truly are

Under the moonlight I wrote you our first song
Under the moonlight you lost me as fast as you brought me along
Under the moonlight you had me singing all of your lies
And under the moonlight regrettably we had to say our goodbyes

Just take your time now
Thinking back now
Reminisce where it all began
Reminisce where it all began
