Breaking All The Rules 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Try'na be soft on myself It's harder than it looks All of the judgements on things I've felt It could fill a million books But I'm breaking all the rules Breaking all the rules All the rules that I set myself What is there to lose What have I got to lose? Maybe I should just set it all free If I'm gonna find a new me Try'na get in the habit of taking steps back Just to ask why Sometimes the codes we live by attack So then we find new ways to survive That's why I'm breaking all the rules Breaking all the rules All the rules that I set myself What is there to lose What have I got to lose? Maybe I should just set it all free If I'm gonna find a new me Breaking all the rules Breaking all the rules All the rules that I set myself What is there to lose What have I got to lose? Maybe I should just set it all free If I'm gonna find a new me

Making It Up 03:43

Change is one of those things It's both frightening and exciting I'm trying to embrace the good of it And ignore the fear that won't quit It's so hard to know what to listen to When you've been pushing it down so many years Help me see the error in my ways So that I can start again I'm so scared but it's ok I've got plenty more years to come my way There's no way that it's just me that feels Like this If you think from the way I act that I've Got it all figured out let me say to you I'm just making it up as I go along Still don't know who I am Yeah I've been having trouble I thought I might as well experiment But I've still hardly made a dent I'm so scared but it's ok I've got plenty more years to come my way There's no way that it's just me that feels Like this If you think from the way I act that I've Got it all figured out let me say to you I'm just making it up as I go along

Breathe Deep 03:21
lyrics

I saw you for the first time in years yesterday There was this feeling in my chest Like my lungs were full of air So long since I forgot how to breathe Only been taking shallow breaths Now my head just feels so clear You've always treated me well and you've been a great friend to me And when I'm close to you I notice my feeling at peace with the world Breathe me Into your lungs Breathe deep with me All along you've been Right under my nose So breathe deep with me It's been so long since I saw you but I still see your face And know exactly what's on your mind I really feel there is something here But I know it's not a race Let's just see what we can find I've been walking around getting bruises on a broken heart It's effortless with you though You just seem to get me Breathe me Into your lungs Breathe deep with me All along you've been Right under my nose So breathe deep with me

Kissing in the rain 03:46
lyrics

Everything before I met you Was such a mess oh such a mess Heartbroken and hurting too Now it all feels so much less I just want to spend all day with you Baby you put me on top of the sky I just light up when I'm next to you When I'm next to you Feels like my whole life turned From bad to good in a matter of hours In amongst the showers I spent my weekend just Falling in love with you Washing away all the pain With kissing in the rain I withdrew inside my shell When I got scared I would count to ten So inspired now that I feel Like it's safe to be me again Wanna be with you every second, every day Baby you put me on top of the sky I just light up when I'm near to you When I'm near you Feels like my whole life turned From bad to good in a matter of hours In amongst the showers I spent my weekend just Falling in love with you Washing away all the pain With kissing in the rain

Love you 'n' love you 04:15
lyrics
buy track
My heart is tumbling down a hill Nothing I can do seems to slow it down The pool at the bottom is beginning to fill And I wonder if I might drown Do you feel it to? 'Cause I think I'm falling in love with you Today I couldn't get you off my mind Nothing else was holding my attention I'm so scared of leaving you behind But I've lost all control of this emotion Do you feel the same way? Or did I just get carried away Something inside Is pushing me forward It's like I can't decide Feels like I'm gonna get cornered Are you ready for me To love you and love you Are we meeting half way? Is it too soon to feel this way Something inside Is pushing me forward It's like I can't decide Feels like I'm gonna get cornered Are you ready for me To love you and love you

I'm A Boy 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Still feels like I'm searching For my identity When you're just hurting It's hard to just *be* Lately I've been thinking About who I used to be Wishing I could tell my younger self Try to help him see It's because you're a boy Because you're a boy It's always been because of who you are They told you a lie And kid you'll try But when you're 25 you'll wish you hadn't Because you're a boy So much of what holds me back Is the fear of what I wanna be And it's not hard to lose track With all this policing in society There's all this *stuff* 'bout what it means to be a man They say you gotta me strong, tough, and in charge But I never thought there was anything wrong with me For not wanting to be any of that Don't know if I really wanna be a "man" It's because I'm a boy because I'm a boy It's always been because of who I am They keep telling me lies 'Least I can say I tried But now I'm 25 I wish I didn't have To prove I'm a boy It's because I'm a boy because I'm a boy It's always been because I am They keep telling me lies 'Least I can say I tried But now I'm 25 I wish I didn't have To prove I'm a boy

How much would it take 04:12

Why do I feel like Feel like this Never been so insecure in my life It doesn't make sense Truth is You've been doing everything right You have been so good to me And I don't know why, no I don't know why How much would it take For me to push you away Why does it feel like I'm doing it all wrong When I should know better, I should know by now I just let my heart get carried away When you told me you felt the same way You have been so good to me And I don't know why, no I don't know why How much would it take Before I push you away How much would it take How much would it take?

Survivor Sister 04:19

Today has been a big day All because I met you Ever since last may I've been alone and struggling I've really needed someone to say All of these things to me To tell me it's ok There is a reason you've been feeling this way It's so hard when someone keeps on telling you That you were wrong All along But now we know, Now we know better You are my survivor sister We are survivor siblings Tell me all the things you went through Coz i've been there too You're saying so much i relate to You're my survivor sister No one feels my pain Like you do Coz she did this to you too Now I’m feeling so exposed I got so used to trying to forget But I know this book’s not closed And I so need to finish it I never got anywhere Working on my own Now something just fits right Knowing I am not the only one It’s so hard when people ask for evidence But you don’t Have a clue Where to look But now we can guide each other Stand by one another You are my survivor sister We are survivor siblings Tell me all the things you went through Coz i've been there too You're saying so much i relate to You're my survivor sister No one feels my pain Like you do Coz she did this to you too

Here With Me 03:29
lyrics

Try'na fix you when I'm broken Has taken a toll on my heart The part that keeps me from choking On the last thing I can't outsmart I'll lie here a little while Maybe this too shall pass But at least you're here With me At least you're here With me I'll be there for you 'Cause I'm always gonna need you too It's been a struggle today I know you've noticed Seems like so much on my plate It feels like the world is stacked against us But you just picked up the phone and got me straight there We take turns to soothe burns It's just a better way of being But at least you're here With me At least you're here With me I'll be there for you 'Cause I'm always gonna need you too

Mixed Feelings 04:30
lyrics

I keep on soul searching About us and what we're doing And how I never shake the feeling That something's not quite right And every day I seem to ask myself What is this I'm pursuing It's getting harder to consolidate What I want and what can be had Oh I've got such mixed feelings You know I've got such mixed feelings Oh I've got such mixed feelings 'bout being with you I know that right now Things ain't easy for you You seem to tell me every time You say "it'll be better soon" So I guess I'm sort of... waiting Waiting to see If it really gets so different Or if this is the way it'll always be Oo but you know I've got such mixed feelings Yeah you know I've got such mixed feelings Oh I've got such mixed feelings About staying with you But when I look at you a hook wraps 'round my feelings All I can think about is what you mean to me And every time I think of losing you I crumble How could I let you slip away from me so soon

Gotta do something To hold onto my breath tonight 'cause I'm gonna have nothing If you take it away from me one more night Darling You're all You're all I ever think about Did you know How much I cried At the blow I took to my side That day you changed your mind And you pushed me out And now that's all I ever think about All I ever think about Gotta do something To get over get over you 'cause I'll really have nothing If I don't soon Darling All I ever think about is you Did you know How much I cried At the blow I took to my side That day you changed your mind And you pushed me out And now that's all I ever think about

Suffering in Silence 03:47
lyrics

It's never been easy has it? This whole me and you It's like we're swimming up-stream in honey But we had love to Push us through Maybe someday we'll just find it funny You don't wanna be my lover I don't wanna be your friend So we'll just suffer here in silence Until we accept that this is the end But you gave me something that I wanted And you gave me something that I needed It's proving hard not to fight to keep To keep you The question is Can we carry on When we can't agree with one another When it's something so Dear to your heart And am I worth enough for the bother If you wanna be my lover If you wanna be my friend We'll end up suffering in silence That's just the price we have to spend But you gave me so much that I wanted You gave me so much that I needed And it's proving hard not to fight to keep To keep you I know that being with me Makes some things a little less easy But maybe there is a way So we don't have to love from this distance One more day I still want all those things I wanted I still need all those things I needed It's just way too hard not to fight to keep you Will you keep me?

Through The Winter 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Life in the forest It can be beautiful But lately I can't seem to see a thing here My whole life I tried To live like an evergreen But right now, if I'm honest, I need to shed my leaves Stay with me through the winter Keep me warm Stay with me through the winter As I transform Sometimes I feel helpless I'm trying to change that But I still seem to slip back to being ruled Maybe when I can start again I'll find some sense of control Maybe I'll soon discover what I've been missing Stay with me through the winter Keep me warm Stay with me through the winter As I transform Stay with me Stay with me Through the winter Through the winter with me Stay with me through the winter Keep me warm Stay with me through the winter As I transform
