I Watched You Fall

I tried so hard
To be there for you
I tried so hard to be
I tried so hard
To care for you
I tried so hard to reach
But the storms were just too strong
And I reached for you
But you were gone

CHORUS
It was so hard
To watch you drowning
Reaching for everything
But I couldn't reach you
I watched you fall

VERSE #2
I tried so hard
To be near you
When consequences came
I tried so hard
Not to fear you
When the anger came
But the storms were just too strong
I reached for you
But you were gone

CHORUS
It was so hard
To watch you drowning
Reaching for everything
But I couldn't reach you
I watched you fall

BRIDGE
It took everything
To follow you
To hold your hand
It took everything  to love you
And who you've become
It took all of me to release you
When the waves were just too strong

CHORUS
It was so hard
To watch you drowning
Reaching for everything
But I couldn't reach you
I watched you fall

ENDING
It took everything
To follow you
It took all of me
It took everything to love you
And who you've become
It took all of me to release you
When the waves were just too strong
When the waves were just too strong
When the waves were just too strong

Don't Put Me In A Box
(I Won't Fit)

VERSE #1
This just isn't working out
She said she said she said to me
You're not who I thought you were
But I tried to tell her
Yeah I'm different
Don't be led astray
I might not react in the exact same way
You're used to
(Used to)
But I'm worth the confusion
It's not an illusion
Just a different mind
I'm still the one you went for
The one you fell in love with
Inside

CHORUS
Yeah I'm different
Don't try to put me
Inside your box
I won't fit
I won't fit
I won't fit

VERSE #2
What about all we shared before
Doesn't that mean a thing
What about the way I cared before
When you were venting
I was just listening
What about the times we had
Does it mean anything
Or are you just gonna believe
The judgments inside your head
And forget everything

BRIDGE CHORUS
Yeah I'm different
Don't try to put me
Inside your box
Yeah I'm a mystery
But don't try to solve me
You better not
I'm not something
You can fix
Because I'm not broken
To begin with
I'm just me
It's just the way I am
The way God made me
And some would say crazy
But what is that
In the end

CHORUS
Yeah I'm different
Don't try to put me
Inside your box
I won't fit
I won't fit
I won't fit
I won't fit
I won't fit
And I don't want to

BRIDGE
We're all broken
But we don't need to be fixed
It's ok to be open
I won't judge you
Or try to put you
Inside my box
I want you to be you
And no one else
Don't even try
You're meant to be who you are
But I understand
When you see it through your eyes
It can be a bit
Scary
Not knowing
Where to place me
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
But I won't fit

ENDING
Don't try to put me
Inside your box
Don't try to fix me
I'm not broken
Like you think
I'm just me
And that's who I wanna be
So take me
Out of your box
And face me
For who I am
Free me from
Your thoughts
And just take me as I am
I won't put you
In a box
And I know I can't
I know I can't
I know I can't

Leaving You Behind

VERSE #1
So i told myself
If i could be better than you
Everything would be fine
And in time
I broke the connection
And left you behind
And it wasn't your choice
It was mine

CHORUS
There's no room for you
Only room for me
No one else
I can keep
Am i helping
Or am i just too blind
To see the connection
I'm leaving you behind

VERSE #1
Hello yeah it's been a while
I can't wait to see you smile
But i know it's gonna take some time
I'm not sure what we can do
But I've been thinking about what to say to you
There's so much left unsaid
I just wanna know what's in your head

VERSE #2
Hello yeah it's been a while
I can't wait to see you smile
But I know you're still in a dark place

But I know I've been there before
But you have to choose to walk through the door

I'm worried about you

INTRO
I want everyone to see
To see
What this world has done to me
To me
I want everyone to see
To see
That there's nothing left of me

VERSE #1
Dig a little deeper
It's been a hard day
Close your eyes
And feel the sting
Try to forget
Everything

Crimson red
Come to life
Far beneath me
Pain and strife
Touch and reach me
Come to life

Push a little harder
There's so much to forget
Feel the tears
And bloodshot eyes
Let the fear
Become the knife

Every wound
A separate lie
Far above

Taint me
Break me
Pull the curtain from my eyes

Bleeding
For the ones who've forgotten how to scream
Pleading
For the ones pushed away from reality
Breaking
For the ones who've had too much
Escaping
For the ones who can't feel the love
Sometimes it's just a knife
Sometimes it's just a line
Sometimes it's just life
And sometimes it's not fine
You're not fine
I'm not fine
You're not fine
I'm not fine
Draw one more line
And watch the wide eyes
Of those who were supposed to fight
For me
For you
But instead what they chose to do
One more time
Dig as deep as you can

ENDING CHORUS
I want everyone to see

What this world has done to you

Dig
A little deeper
One more line
Maybe this time
They'll listen
Maybe this time
They'll open up their eyes
All I want is their attention
Affection
And reasons to lie
Maybe they'll see me this time
Maybe they'll see me this time

Until I Saw Your Ugly Side

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting. But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
(Proverbs 31:30)

VERSE #1
You think your words will
Save me once again
But what about all those left behind
Those that you've forsaken
(You never let them in)

You think your touch will
Make me forget everything
But i just need to tell you
I still hear the screams
(Deep inside you, deep inside me)

CHORUS
It all makes sense now
There's nowhere left to hide
It all makes sense now
Digging deep enough
I see your ugly side
And now I need to say goodbye

VERSE #2
You thought you were helpless
You thought you were inept
But your brain still works
And so do your legs
(Lest you forget)

The voices inside you
Were painting a picture
And i was captivated
But still not sure
What if this beautiful face
Was merely a mask
What if the chase
Has never looked back
(And you're not satisfied yet)

CHORUS
It all makes sense now
There's nowhere left to hide
It all makes sense now
Digging deep enough
I see your ugly side
And now I need to say goodbye

BRIDGE
Your words cut me so deeply
And your touch just tried to keep me
But i couldn't ignore the truth
Shallow and flattering
Judgmental dividing
This was the real you
(And i had to let go)

I saw the monster
Right after the beauty
Ones in control
One barely knew me
Ones after my soul
One just wants to see me
Every single battle
Just ended in more wounds
Then you called me back
The moment i tried to leave you
You got on your knees
Every time i would leave
Tried to convince me
With a heartfelt apology
But fool me once twice thrice
Shame on you
Fool me four five
Ah $## it
(SCREAMING)
Shame on me

CHORUS
It all makes sense now
There's nowhere left to hide
It all makes sense now
Digging deep enough
I see your ugly side
And now I need to say goodbye

ENDING
It all makes sense now
A side of you you never wanted me to see
It all makes sense now
That part of you was just in too deep
It all makes sense now
One minute you were for me
The next my enemy
It all makes sense now
One last thing to say
I hope you learn who you really wanna be
I hope you learn who you really wanna be
I hope you dig deep enough
So you can finally see
I hope you become who you wanna be
But it's too late for me

Until I Saw Your Ugly Side

Settle For Less

VERSE #1
There she was
So beautiful
But i couldn't bring myself to say a word
Angels seem to never see me
Angels aren't what i deserve
Looking deep inside myself
I see the darkness coming through
Standing beside myself
The reflection shows the truth
I was never meant for you

CHORUS
And so I'll fall
And ill find
Someone else
Far from divine
A broken soul
With no control
Unpredictable
But finds me irresistible
Yet never feels quite like home
And I'll call out
For the one who will never show

VERSE #2
Rewind the clock
To see me younger
And all those beauties stop and wonder
But never spare a glance
I'm just a friend
I'm just an ear
I'm just a heart
I'm not here


CHORUS
And so I'll fall
And ill find
Someone else
Far from divine
A broken soul
With no control
Unpredictable
But finds me irresistible
Yet never feels quite like home
And I'll call out
For the one who will never show

BRIDGE
This is what I deserve
Don't cry for me
I'm already burned
They're so beautiful
I'm sure id lose control
They deserve the very best
And I'm just one who failed life's tests
And how dare I
Even watch them smile
It was never meant to be
There's only one for me
The one who betrays
And plays with me all the games
And never ever ever sees

Who I am
And who I'm not
What I can
And what I've got
All my gifts
Given from above
And all the times that I've learned
I am enough
But all I see in her eyes is hate
And I just can't look away
But I still see the ones
In the distance
Come on please just wait
I know I can make you love me
Yeah I know you're above me
But I can't help but see that light Shining behind your eyes
I wanna get to know you
All your truths
And all your lies
But I don't expect you to waste your time
So just go
Before I try
(SCREAMING)
Just go
Just go
Just go

ENDING CHORUS
(SOFT)
And so I'll fall
And I'll find
Someone else
Far from divine
A broken soul
With no control
Unpredictable
Yet finds me irresistible
Yet never quite feels like home
And so I'll call out
For the one who will never ever show
I'll call out
For the one who will never ever show
I'll call out
For the one
Who never ever showed

To see
That there's nothing left of you
Of you
There's nothing left of me
Of me

I want everyone to see
To see
What this world has done to you
To you
What it's done to me
To me
I want everyone to see
To see
That there's nothing left of you
Of you
There's nothing left of me
Of me

ENDING
Dig
A little deeper
One more line
Maybe this time
They'll listen
Maybe this time
They'll open up their eyes
All I want is their attention
Affection
And reasons to lie
Maybe they'll see me this time
Maybe they'll see me this time

Until I Saw Your Ugly Side

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting. But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
(Proverbs 31:30)

VERSE #1
You think your words will
Save me once again
But what about all those left behind
Those that you've forsaken
(You never let them in)

You think your touch will
Make me forget everything
But i just need to tell you
I still hear the screams
(Deep inside you, deep inside me)

CHORUS
It all makes sense now
There's nowhere left to hide
It all makes sense now
Digging deep enough
I see your ugly side
And now I need to say goodbye

VERSE #2
You thought you were helpless
You thought you were inept
But your brain still works
And so do your legs
(Lest you forget)

The voices inside you
Were painting a picture
And i was captivated
But still not sure
What if this beautiful face
Was merely a mask
What if the chase
Has never looked back
(And you're not satisfied yet)

CHORUS
It all makes sense now
There's nowhere left to hide
It all makes sense now
Digging deep enough
I see your ugly side
And now I need to say goodbye

BRIDGE
Your words cut me so deeply
And your touch just tried to keep me
But i couldn't ignore the truth
Shallow and flattering
Judgmental dividing
This was the real you
(And i had to let go)

I saw the monster
Right after the beauty
Ones in control
One barely knew me
Ones after my soul
One just wants to see me
Every single battle
Just ended in more wounds
Then you called me back
The moment i tried to leave you
You got on your knees
Every time i would leave
Tried to convince me
With a heartfelt apology
But fool me once twice thrice
Shame on you
Fool me four five
Ah $## it
(SCREAMING)
Shame on me

CHORUS
It all makes sense now
There's nowhere left to hide
It all makes sense now
Digging deep enough
I see your ugly side
And now I need to say goodbye

ENDING
It all makes sense now
A side of you you never wanted me to see
It all makes sense now
That part of you was just in too deep
It all makes sense now
One minute you were for me
The next my enemy
It all makes sense now
One last thing to say
I hope you learn who you really wanna be
I hope you learn who you really wanna be
I hope you dig deep enough
So you can finally see
I hope you become who you wanna be
But it's too late for me
