Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy
Why would I spend the rest of this year alone
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy two times a day
Why would I spend the rest of this week so bitter
And all that listening is making you bitter too
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy two times a day
I don't wanna be around me
And I don't blame you if you blocking all my calls
Been no ups since I been sleeping soundly
Most nights I lie awake between two and four
Work is stressing me out
And after all this time
It's still never enough
Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy
Why would I spend the rest of this year alone
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy two times a day
I care more about what you think
Than I care about the music
When I get cross with you
I'm surprised you care at all
I figure if I had a life time of time left
Well, shame on me if I don't get to use it well
Yea, I'm stressing you out
And at the way is going you need it more than me
Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy
Why would I spend the rest of this year alone
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy two times a day
Someone help me
Turn around
I'm a victim
Hate the sound of my own voice
Turn it down
And all I do is aggravate ya
Why would I spend the rest of my days so bitter
And all that listening is making you bitter too
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy two times a day

Not Loving You
You're never ever gonna cover up
You'll alway remain
Sat there sipping on another cup
To take it away
It weighs so heavy, so heavy on your heart
So what you gonna do now?
Now that you're falling, you're falling down
There's only so much I can do if you're not loving you
Marching in to try and save the day
And never works out
Always hopeful that I'll make a change
What's that about?
It weighs so heavy, so heavy on my heart
So what you gonna do now?
Now that you're falling, you're falling down
There's only so much I can do if you're not loving you
I love you, I want you to be all that you can
If I could, then I would but you know that I can't
No I can't
So what you gonna do now?
Now that you're falling, you're falling down
There's only so much I can do if you're not loving
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do now?
Now that you're falling, you're falling down
There's only so much I can do if you're not loving you
You'll alway remain

When Youre Gone
Seems like we were right
But you always have a problem with everything
Appreciate your advise but sometimes I have trouble managing
Now that I'm paying attention I see how beautiful you are
But when you spend so much time together now everything can get so dark
Oh when you're gone I'd miss you like I did when we were first together
No one in this world could hold me better
Just tell me when you're coming home
When you're gone I'd miss you like you took a piece of me with you
Didn't think I'd care that much, did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming home
Seems like we were right
But today I woke on the wrong side
I need silence to keep me right
Otherwise the day won't be nice
I wanna laugh with you again just like you are my best friends
But friends can always breathe
And we're too close, and too close is never easy
Oh when you're gone I'd miss you like I did when we were first together
No one in this world could hold me better
Just tell me when you're coming home
When you're gone I'd miss you like you took a piece of me with you
Didn't think I'd care that much, did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming home
I'm not alone
Until you leave me
Now we all get to sleep tonight
Cause you're not here beside me
When you're away it's never easy
You make it all alright, I miss you
When you're gone I'd miss you like I did when we were first together
No one in this world could hold me better
Just tell me when you're coming home
When you're gone I'd miss you like you took a piece of me with you
Didn't think I'd care that much, did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming home
But you always have a problem with everything
Appreciate your advise but sometimes I have trouble managing
Now that I'm paying attention I see how beautiful you are
But when you spend so much time together now everything can get so dark
Oh when you're gone I'd miss you like I did when we were first together
No one in this world could hold me better
Just tell me when you're coming home
When you're gone I'd miss you like you took a piece of me with you
Didn't think I'd care that much, did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming home

Until you leave me

So why you holding back? Boy, why you holding back?

My Loving
Tonight, I'm not about to waste no time, for only one night
You don't have to fantasize
I'll be right beside
I can be the girl you like, the one in your dreams
I'll be the one you desire
I'm not saying you go crazy, chasing everybody down
I'm just playing 'cause I know that I'm the best loving around
I'm in heaven every time you lay your body next to me
You're in heaven, you keep coming back 'cause now you're in too deep
Nothing brings the fire
And nothing gets you higher
Ain't nothing as good as my loving, and my loving, and my loving
Now that you surrender
Nobody's gonna get you
A love as good as my loving, and my loving, and my loving
Nothing brings the fire
And nothing gets you higher
Ain't nothing good as my loving, and my loving, and my loving
Now that you surrender
Nobody's gonna get you
A love as good as my loving, and my loving, and
Tonight, you don't need an alibi, it's all in your mind
You just need to close your eyes, I'll let you drive
So think about the other girls but you can't deny
It's what you got is the best love, in the whole wide world
Nothing brings the fire
And nothing gets you higher
Ain't nothing as good as my loving, and my loving, and my loving
Now that you surrender
Nobody's gonna get you
A love as good as my loving, and my loving, and my loving
Nothing brings the fire
And nothing gets you higher
Ain't nothing good as my loving, and my loving, and my loving
Now that you surrender
Nobody's gonna get you
A love as good as my loving, and my loving, and
I'm not saying you go crazy, chasing everybody down
I'm just playing 'cause I know that I'm the best loving around
I'm in heaven everytime you lay your body next to me
You're in heaven, you keep coming back but now you're in too deep
Nothing brings the fire
And nothing gets you higher
Ain't nothing good as my loving, and my loving, and my loving
Now that you surrender
Nobody's gonna get you
A love as good as my loving, and my loving, and
You don't have to fantasize

From the outside
This can't be what it used to be
From the outside
I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more
Don't wait for me
When you know you did me wrong, I've been holding on too long
Eventually
I'll mend the heart
They don't see what you do to me
From the outside
This can't be what it used to be
From the outside
I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more
No, I won't play this game
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more
So why you holding back? Boy, why you holding back?
So vacantly
But you won't get away with that, no, you won't get away with that
They don't see what you do to me
From the outside
This can't be what it used to be
From the outside
I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more
Don't wait for me
When you know you did me wrong, I've been holding on too long
Eventually
I'll mend the heart
They don't see what you do to me
From the outside
This can't be what it used to be
From the outside
I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more
No, I won't play this game
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna give you the time
I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
My love won't be the same for you no more

[Verse 1:]
I don't know who you are
But I clocked you from afar
And the kids on the streets said you're getting it from me
[Pre-Chorus:]
You think you can kick the sand in my eyes
But you should walk a little softer
I hear you coming from a mile away
And you don't have enough to offer
Don't waste your time, playing with my mind
Or you'll regret it
I write the rules, for shame on you
You won't forget it
[Chorus:]
You just follow, follow, follow
But tomorrow, morrow, morrow
When you're hollow, hollow, hollow
You'll be sad and all alone
Sad and all alone
Follow, follow, follow
But tomorrow, morrow, morrow
When the thrill is all that [?]
You'll be sad and all alone
Sad and all alone
[Verse 2:]
You can try to disguise
But you know deep in your heart
They can see in your eyes
That you're vacant in your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro x12:]
Give it all or give it nothing
Give it love or give it up
I don't know who you are
But I clocked you from afar
And the kids on the streets said you're getting it from me
[Pre-Chorus:]
You think you can kick the sand in my eyes
But you should walk a little softer
I hear you coming from a mile away
And you don't have enough to offer
Don't waste your time, playing with my mind
Or you'll regret it
I write the rules, for shame on you
You won't forget it
[Chorus:]
You just follow, follow, follow
But tomorrow, morrow, morrow
When you're hollow, hollow, hollow
You'll be sad and all alone
Sad and all alone
Follow, follow, follow
But tomorrow, morrow, morrow
When the thrill is all that [?]
You'll be sad and all alone
Sad and all alone
[Verse 2:]
You can try to disguise
But you know deep in your heart
They can see in your eyes
That you're vacant in your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro x12:]
Give it all or give it nothing
Give it love or give it up

Worth My Time
It's been hard on you, but it's been hard on me
Can't you see my point of view?
And every time we speak
It leave me weak
When you're running away 'cause you don't wanna hear what I say
Is it me, is it you, could it all have been a mistake?
But I won't give up
Make it worth my time
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching it wrong and it isn't enough to get by
And I wanna stay
Nobody's fault, but we both feel the pain
It's a shame
And we've talked of change but everything remains just the same
When you're running away 'cause you don't wanna hear what I say
Is it me, is it you, could it all have been a mistake?
But I won't give up
Make it worth my time
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching it wrong and it isn't enough to get by
I wanna stay
You sacrifice, who's wrong or right?
Let's stick together now more than ever
I won't give up
Make it worth my time
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching this wrong and it isn't enough to get by
And I wanna stay
Can't you see my point of view?
And every time we speak
It leave me weak
When you're running away 'cause you don't wanna hear what I say
Is it me, is it you, could it all have been a mistake?
But I won't give up
Make it worth my time
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching it wrong and it isn't enough to get by
And I wanna stay
Nobody's fault, but we both feel the pain
It's a shame
And we've talked of change but everything remains just the same
When you're running away 'cause you don't wanna hear what I say
Is it me, is it you, could it all have been a mistake?
But I won't give up
Make it worth my time
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching it wrong and it isn't enough to get by
I wanna stay
You sacrifice, who's wrong or right?
Let's stick together now more than ever
I won't give up
Make it worth my time
We've been in it so long we forgot how it feels to live life
And I wanna stay
And I won't give up if you make it worth my time
We're approaching this wrong and it isn't enough to get by
And I wanna stay
