WHOLEHEARTED – give it all every time I give at all
WHOLEHEARTED – wait and see just how easily I fall
WHOLEHEARTED – make it clear if you’re never gonna call
‘Cause I can’t
Pretend that
I’m not me – WHOLEHEARTEDLY
I always go too far too fast
Tell you I love you ‘fore you even know my name
Plenty of examples in my past
Never occurs to me you might not feel the same
The walls come down
Before you’ve had a chance to breathe
WHOLEHEARTED – give it all every time I give at all
WHOLEHEARTED – wait and see just how easily I fall
WHOLEHEARTED – make it clear if you’re never gonna call
‘Cause I can’t
Pretend that
I’m not me – WHOLEHEARTEDLY
I always give too much too soon
Expect that you’ll be there until we reach the end
You’re surprised your words wound
I’m always hoping that I’ve found my new best friend
The walls come down
Before you’ve had a chance to breathe
I’m the kind of person who
Can’t be bothered to
Protect my heart
Are you the kind of person who
Can’t be bothered either
If this person needs you to
Care ‘bout how the things you do
Affect me too, ooh,
D’ya think I could rely on you
The walls come down
Before you’ve had a chance to breathe
WHOLEHEARTED – I give it all every time I give at all
WHOLEHEARTED – wait and see just how easily I fall
WHOLEHEARTED – make it clear if you’re never gonna call
‘Cause I can’t
Pretend that
I’m not me – WHOLEHEARTEDLY
WHOLEHEARTEDLY
WHOLEHEARTEDLY

Meant to Be

There’s someone
When I think of her my skin crawls
And there’s something
When I’m near it I just can’t be held
Responsible
For what I say and do
I’m not responsible
Believe me it’s not you it’s just
I guess myself and I
Weren’t meant to be
Meant to be
Not meant to be
I guess myself and I
Weren’t meant to be
Ohhh…
We have a history
A dark and twisted past
And every time I meet someone
It bites me in the ass
I can’t say what I mean
It doesn’t come out right
And every move I try to make
Will turn into a fight
I guess myself and I
Weren’t meant to be
Meant to be
Not meant to be
I guess myself and I
Weren’t meant to be
Ohhh…
I don’t trust myself
And I don’t trust myself around you
I don’t know myself
And I don’t know what I might do… next
I guess myself and I
Weren’t meant to be
Meant to be
Not meant to be
I guess myself and I
Weren’t meant to be
Ohhh…
I guess myself and I
Weren’t meant to be
Meant to be
Not meant to be
I guess myself and I
Weren’t meant to be
Ohhh…

What If I Left
03:12

I used to love it
Everything used to be so good
It was what I needed (what I needed)
And I thought I understood
But sometimes things change
I have to wonder
If that's what happened here
My life's been rearranged
I have to wonder
What it is I hold so dear
What if I left
What if I gave up
What if I went back to being quiet
What if I thought that I wasn't worth it
What if I couldn't hear that beautiful music
What if I left (what if I left)
When I was on top of the world
Was that you
Or just me being me
I can't recall being that kind of girl
So was it you
Or something I've yet to see
What if I left
What if I gave up
What if I went back to being quiet
What if I thought that I wasn't worth it
What if I couldn't hear that beautiful music
What if I left (what if I left)
It's hard being where I am now
Looking back
And looking ahead
I'm changing, the question is how
Do I look back
Or look somewhere else instead
What if I left
What if I gave up
What if I went back to being quiet
What if I thought that I wasn't worth it
What if I couldn't hear that beautiful music
What if I left (what if I left)
And what would life be if I decided to go (if I decided to, if I decided to)
Who would I be, and why don't I know
Don't let me leave
Don't let me give up
Don't let me go back to being quiet (what if I left)
Don't let me think that I wasn't worth it
Don't take away that beautiful music
Don't let me go (don't let me go)
Don't let me go (don't let me go)
Don't let me go

After Love Songs
03:30

When you fall in love, the world can seem much brighter
At the start, the melodies are always sweet
You go along in a world that's somehow righter
For every time that your heart skips a beat
But everything changes, and nothing stands still
No matter how much you believe that it will
It's not always easy, and things may go wrong
And you wonder if there can be love after love songs
When you've been in love, so long you can't remember
How it felt to go to sleep alone in bed
What burned like fire, now feels much more like an ember
But embers glow long after fires are dead
Everything changes, and nothing stands still
No matter how much you believe that it will
It's not always easy, and things may go wrong
And you wonder if there can be love after love songs
The final chord fades out
Turn around and see what's really there
Stop searching for perfection and you’ll notice
There's still music in the air
Everything changes, and nothing stands still
But there's no reason to hope that it will
It's not always easy, and things may go wrong
But I promise, there still can be love after love songs
Yes I promise there still can be love

Come Around

High school isn't easy for anyone, it wasn't easy for me
More than one reason for that, but she's at least three
And oh, oh, oo-whoa sometimes I wish I could be
Someone whose first heartbreak came when she was a bit more
carefree
'Cause she stopped seeing my face
I felt like I'd vanished without a trace
And she stopped hearing my voice
Silence seemed the only choice
In a world of “try to fit in” but “be yourself”
How are you expected to choose
You’ll never fit in if you can’t trust someone else
What you got to lose
When someone who knows you that well stops knowing you
Where's the safe place to retreat to
And what is there to do but wonder who
You've been all along
High school isn't easy to navigate, when you do it alone
Scary to be who you want to, so you say “When in Rome”
And oh, oh, oo-whoa sometimes you just wanna go home
And I did that way more than once when the tears started to flow
'Cause she stopped seeing my face
I felt like I'd vanished without a trace
And she stopped hearing my voice
Silence seemed the only choice
In a world of “try to fit in” but “be yourself”
How are you expected to choose
You’ll never fit in if you can’t trust someone else
What you got to lose
When someone who knows you that well stops knowing you
Where's the safe place to retreat to
And what is there to do but wonder who
You've been all along
And all you are is wrong
I've been around more years than I had then
Done things teenage me couldn't imagine
Fell out and in with the crowd too many times to count
I've learned how to let go of what we did then
Tried to see what motives might have been
Guess in a way you could say that I've come around
High school isn't easy for anyone, wasn’t easy for her
Do I even remember it right, time's made it all blur
But I stopped seeing my face
I felt like I'd vanished without a trace
And I stopped using my voice
Silence seemed the only choice
In a world of “try to fit in” but “be yourself”
How are you expected to choose
You’ll never fit in if you can’t trust someone else
What you got to lose
When someone who knows you that well stops knowing you
You find a new place to retreat to
And what is there to do, what is there to do
When you start to ask yourself just who
You've been all along
You were you all along
