Demi Lovato - Confident Album Lyrics

Confident

Are you ready?

It's time for me to take it
I'm the boss right now
Not gonna fake it
Not when you go down
'Cause this is my game
And you better come to play

I used to hold my freak back
Now I'm letting go
I make my own choice
[Clean version:] Yeah I run this show
[Explicit version:] Bitch, I run this show
So leave the lights on
No, you can't make me behave

So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you've had me underrated
Rated, rated, rated

What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?

It's time to get the chains out
Is your tongue tied up?
'Cause this is my ground
And I'm dangerous
And you can get off
But it's all about me tonight

So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you've had me underrated
Rated, rated, rated

What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?

So you say I'm complicated
But you've had me underrated

What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?

Cool For The Summer

Tell me what you want
What you like
It's okay
I'mma little curious too
Tell me if it's wrong
If it's right
I don't care
I can keep a secret can you?

Got my mind on your body
And your body on my mind
Got a taste for the cherry
I just need to take a bite
Don't tell your mother
Kiss one another
Die for each other
We're cool for the summer
(Ha)

Ooh
Ooh
Take me down into your paradise
Don't be scared cause I'm your body type
Just something that we wanna try
Cuz you and I
We're cool for the summer

Tell me if I won
If I did
What's my prize?
I just wanna play with you too
Even if they judge
F*ck it all
Do the time
I just wanna have some fun with you

Got my mind on your body
And your body on my mind
Got a taste for the cherry

Don't tell your mother
Kiss one another
Die for each other

Old Ways

It was fun playin' with knives
Until a blade
Stuck in the left side of my chest
Surprise
And I'm down again, I turn the page
The story's mine
No more watchin' the world from my doorstep
Passin' me by

And I just keep changin'
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me
I'll go back to my old ways
I'm gonna say no way
I'm out of the doorway
I'm hearin' them all say
I'll go back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways
(Not goin' back to my old ways)

Now I know what's good for me
All that I need
And I can't wait to sink my teeth in
And take another bite
And the best part about it
Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it
I fill the well with some water, it's overflowin'
Black into gold
Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds

And I just keep changin'
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me
I'll go back to my old ways
I'm gonna say no way
I'm out of the doorway
I'm hearin' them all say
I'll go back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways
(Not goin' back to my old ways)

Every scar
The flames burn the mark
I'm not afraid to fall
I'm spiraling
I'm spiraling
I pass the stars
I'm not burning out
I'm not afraid to fall
I'm not afraid anymore

And I just keep changin' my colors
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place that I was, I was

And the best part about it
Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it
I fill the well with some water, it's overflowin'
Black into gold
Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds

And I just keep changin'
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me
I'll go back to my old ways
I'm gonna say no way
I'm out of the doorway
I'm hearin' them all say
I'll go back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways

For You

Reasons why you run don't make you a good man
Yes I understand
You were on time at the wrong time
I was debating but tried, and I don't know why
You can act cold on a dime and so out of line

For you
I'd do anything for you
Nail my heart to the ceiling
I'd put my fist through a wall
How come (how come)
I stick around when I break down (break down, break down)
I take the blows like a champion (champion, champion)
But I get nothing at all

Reasons for my hope, all make me a big joke
I already know
You were just fine, I was just fine
Why did we turn a good time to a dark one?
I'd give you a chance but the better man never called

For you (for you)
I'd do anything for you (for you, for you)
Nail my heart to the ceiling (ceiling, ceiling)
I'd put my fist through a wall
How come (how come)
I stick around when I break down (break down, break down)
I take the blows like a champion (champion, champion)
But I get nothing at all
But I get nothing at all
But I get nothing at all

For you, I'd do
Anything for you, I would do
Anything for you, I would do
(Put my fist through a wall)
Anything for you, I would do

For you (for you)
I'd do anything for you (for you, for you)
Nail my heart to the ceiling (ceiling, ceiling)
I'd put my fist through a wall
How come (how come)
I stick around when I break down (break down, break down)
I take the blows like a champion (champion, champion)
But I get nothing at all
But I get nothing
But I get nothing at all
I get nothing at all

For you, I'd do
Anything for you, I would do
Anything for you, I would do
Anything for you, I would do
Anything

Stone Cold

Stone cold, stone cold
You see me standing, but I'm dying on the floor
Stone cold, stone cold
Maybe if I don't cry, I won't feel anymore

Stone cold, baby
God knows I tried to feel
Happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand, I'll take the pain
Give me the truth, me and my heart
We'll make it through
If happy is her, I'm happy for you

Hmmmm

Stone cold, stone cold
You're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phone
Stone cold, stone cold
I was your amber, but now she's your shade of gold

Stone cold, baby
God knows I tried to feel
Happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand, I'll take the pain
Give me the truth, me and my heart
We'll make it through
If happy is her, I'm happy for you

Don't wanna be stone cold, stone
I wish I could mean this but here's my goodbye
Oh, I'm happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand
If happy is her, If happy is her
I'm happy for you

Kingdom Come

Can we love until there's nothing left
And we're collecting dust?
Use the halo of our golden souls
Until we're flecks of rust

A love so deep, nothing else like it
Scars go deep, but they can't find it
Flame so bright make the daylight look dark
Cross my heart, that I'll die for you
Cross my heart, that I'll always keep you
Cross my heart like a bitter sweet tattoo
And we go...

Oh, you're my kingdom come
Oh, you're my kingdom come
So sit me on your throne
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Let it intertwine
Your hand in mine
And fill the empty space
All the demons cry
Cause you and I
Found love in a broken place

A love so deep, nothing else like it
Scars go deep, but they can't find it
Flame so bright make the daylight look dark
Cross my heart, that I'll die for you
Cross my heart, that I'll always keep you
Cross my heart like a bitter sweet tattoo
And we go...

[Demi Lovato (Iggy Azalea):]
Oh, you're my kingdom come
Oh, you're my kingdom come
Sit me on your throne
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah
(Iggs)

[Iggy Azalea:]
Gather around, now I'm back from my holiday
"Long live the Queen" what the people say
And that be me, I got a king in my calvary
Them other knights, say goodnight, they get apathy
You'll never catch an Adam without Eve
You'll never catch a bloom without seeds
See what I mean? You're my Caesar upon my chariot
You know family matters, what's Carl without Harriot?
Inseparable like Mary Kate and Ashley
Incredible, I'm ready if you ask me
To ride on them feminine chicks, you feel me?
I break 'em down, it's a sport, I should win an Espy
Royalty, another level, boy you don't shine
Legendary, leather nation needs a paradigm
Call all the king's horses and all the king's men
We're ruling 'til the end, kingdom come

Oh, you're my kingdom come
Oh, you're my kingdom come
So sit me on your throne
Yeah

You're my kingdom come
So sit me on your throne
Yeah
You're my kingdom come
So sit me on your throne

Waitin' For You

You said that you'd never hurt me
Be the band-aid when I bleed
But I guess that that band-aid was all made of paper
Cause you never stuck to me
And you say that you conquered the lion
Without even tryin'
But she only gets stronger
She only bites harder and I only die fighting

You can run, you can run
But you know that I know just what you've done
You can run, you can run
But save those words for one on one

So when the lights go down
And the sun hits ground
You should know that I won't back down (I'll be waitin' for you)
Knuckles out
And the guard in my mouth
When you're hungry for the next round (I'll be waitin' for you)
I'll be waitin' for you
I'll be waitin' for you

Yeah, don't take things too personal
But you made shit personal
Talkin' 'bout my bad habits
Man, f*ck my bad habits
Don't act like you got none

You can run, you can run
But you know that I know just what you've done
You can run, you can run
But save those words for one on one

So when the lights go down
And the sun hits ground
You should know that I won't back down (I'll be waitin' for you)
Knuckles out
And the guard in my mouth
When you're hungry for the next round (I'll be waitin' for you)
I'll be waitin' for you
I'll be waitin' for you

[Sirah:]
Got my name in your mouth, forgive me when I knock it out
I love it when you talk about me just cause you don't know yourself
My jabs go go for broke, your teeth is on the floor
Thirty million people watchin', do you still want more?
Say gracious, gon' get it, I am winnin' but you isn't
Call your dentist cause I meant this, I don't see no competition
Goin' wild, Mikey Tyson, born a fighter, I will triumph
Bitch I thought you knew I was comin' for your title

So when the lights go down
And the sun hits ground
You should know that I won't back down (I'll be waitin' for you)
Knuckles out
And the guard in my mouth
When you're hungry for the next round (I'll be waitin' for you)
I'll be waitin' for you
I'll be waitin', I'll be waitin' for you
I'll be waitin' for you

Wildfire

We were going way too fast
Chasing down the hourglass
Running from the past
Heading out with no direction
A kerosene beauty queen
Looking for her matchstick king
To burn in to my heart
Hand in to the flame
We could set the world ablaze cause

Baby, you're all I need
Come now, set me free
Like a wildfire, like a wildfire
Breathless, I can't resist
Melt with your scarlet kiss
Like a wildfire, like a wildfire

I look into your sunset eyes
Waiting for the moon to rise
So I can feel your heat
This love is so completely crazy
You've been f*cking with my dreams
Ripped me like your torn up jeans
I don't even care
You can take me there
You can set me my world ablaze 'cause

Baby, you're all I need
Come now, set me free
Like a wildfire, like a wildfire
Breathless, I can't resist
Melt with your scarlet kiss
Like a wildfire, like a wildfire

Baby tell me where you wanna run, run
Cause I've been burning like the morning sun
Take my hand, you can burn this city with me
Play me like your first guitar
Where every single notes too hard
I don't even care
You can take me there
We can set the world on fire

Baby, you're all I need
Come now, set me free
Like a wildfire, like a wildfire
Breathless, I can't resist
Melt with your scarlet kiss
Like a wildfire, like a wildfire

Lionheart

Your light is inside of me
Like a raging roar
Like an ocean born
You're in my veins
Your voice is serenity
When the Sun goes down
And the strength I've found
Is in my veins

Our story binds us
Like right and wrong
Your hand in mine
Marching to the beat of the storm

And we walk together into the light
And my love will be your armor tonight
We are lionhearts
And we stand together facing a war
And our love is gonna conquer it all
We are lionhearts

You're here like a silhouette
When the darkness rules
You're the brightest moon
And I am safe

The story binds us
Like right and wrong
Your hand in mine
Marching to the beat of the storm

And we walk together into the light
And my love will be your armor tonight
We are lionhearts
And we stand together facing a war
And our love is gonna conquer it all
We are lionhearts

You're never far from where I am
Like a lighthouse, bring me home
You're never far from me
Let your spirit glow

And we walk together into the light
And my love will be your armor tonight
We are lionhearts
And we stand together facing a war
And our love is gonna conquer it all
We are lionhearts
And we walk together into the light
And my love will be your armor tonight
We are lionhearts

Father

Father, I'm gonna say thank you
Even if I'm still hurt
Oh, I'm gonna say bless you
I wanna mean those words

Always wished you the best
I, I prayed for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me

You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that Heaven's given you
A second chance

Father, I'm gonna say thank you
Even if I don't understand
Oh, you left us alone
I guess that made me who I am

Always wished you the best
I, I, I pray for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me

You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that Heaven's given you
You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that Heaven's given you
A second chance

Walking in, we causing a...
Knock 'em all out, beat 'em like Rousey

Mr. Hughes

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

I remember you walked out the door
So I stayed awake for days
No pill or drink could get me off the floor
Nothing seemed to ease the pain

Listen to me honey
I've got something new to say
I forgive but can't forget your mistakes
Now I think it's time for you to pay

He's Mr. Hughes
And he's got the blues
Cause his high school dreams
They never went too far
And he's Mr. Hughes
And he's got the blues
Cause he missed his chance to be with a star
Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you

This is for the times you broke my heart
And all the years you led me on
Now you're asking for a brand new start
But you're way too late and now I'm gone

Listen to me honey
I've got something new to say
I forgive but can't forget your mistakes
Now I think it's time for you to pay

He's Mr. Hughes
And he's got the blues
Cause his high school dreams
They never went too far
And he's Mr. Hughes
And he's got the blues
Cause he missed his chance to be with a star
Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you

How could you think I'm so stupid, I wouldn't see through?
I always do
Now I got a new man
And he's ten times the man you could ever be, Mr. Hughes

He's Mr. Hughes
And he's got the blues
Cause his high school dreams
They never went too far
And he's Mr. Hughes
And he's got the blues
Cause he missed his chance to be with a star
Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you
Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you
Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you
