Adam's songs

(Verse one)
This water keeps rising up
I'm under pressure to perform
Wading through this life
Storm after fucking storm

This can't go on forever
That's what I tell myself
But neither can I 'cause
This shits bad for my health

(Chorus)
I need to see some sunshine
God, I need to catch a break
Not recover from one storm just
For another to come in it's wake.

(Verse two)
Lightning flashes across the sky
Another bolt draws near
Is this what life's supposed to be?
Surviving out of fear?

It's hard to keep my head up
Whilst I'm drowning in the mud
There's still water in my lungs
From the most recent flood.

(Chorus)
I need to see some sunshine
God, I need to catch a break
Not recover from one storm just
For another to come in it's wake.

(Verse three)
I've got nothing left in me
For any more rainy days
So once again I'll pray to you
In the hopes I'll be okay

Send me a rainbow
Or give me some sort of sign
That I can make it through this
Cause right now
It's feeling like the end of the line

(Chorus)
Yeah
I need to see some sunshine
God, I need to catch a break
Not recover from one storm just
For another to come in it's wake.

(Outro)
God I need you to answer me
I'm sinking in my seat
Life's been too cruel
And it seems it has me beat

You tell me to act normal
But strange is what I got
I don't try put on a facade
Pretending to be something I'm not

Maybe to you I might seem crazy
Maybe to you I'm not all that well
Maybe I'm just a free thinker
I'm sure that time will tell

I wasn't born to please people
Wasn't born to be no fake friend
My will is stronger than most
It's hard to get it to bend

I like what I like.
But Hey that's just me
You do you and
I'll just keep on being me

You tell me to act normal
But strange is what I got
I don't try put on a facade
Pretending to be something I'm not

It doesn't matter what you tell me
Cause It's water off a ducks back
You can try your best to derail me
But me, I'm going to stay on track

I'm true to myself and my beliefs
There's nothing you can say or do
Instead of pointing your lense at me
Perhaps you should point it back at you.

I shouldn't have to sing this
To get it through your head
Now go on, get gone
And think about what I said

Yeah
You tell me to act normal
But strange is what I got
I don't try put on a facade
Pretending to be something I'm not

Waiting with this hammer
For the room to go dead
Going to hit this nail
Right on its fucking head

You say you've done nothing
It's everyone else who's wrong
Don't know if you're delusional
Or if the medicine's too strong

Everywhere you go
Trouble follows you around
Now correct me if I'm wrong
But, how does that sound?

Yeah, you've run up the tab
Your credit's run out
Used to believe every word
But now I'm quick to doubt

The wolf who cried wolf
A snake in the grass
Listen to one more word?
No, I think I'll pass

You lie through your teeth
To any listening ear
You should probably just go
Before my next beer

I've had enough of you
Yeah the bullshits finally sticking
So you better just leave
Or your ass I'll be kicking

Yeah, you've run up the tab
Your credit's run out
Used to believe everything
But now I'm quick to doubt

The wolf who cried wolf
A martyr to your cause
Bitching about others
while ignoring your own flaws

How do you mend a broken heart
What's the best thing I can do
I don't want to get back in the saddle
If it means I'm losing you

You're all I ever wanted
It's crazy but it's true
As I sit here in reflection
My thoughts are all of you

I wish I could give you up
But I'm just not ready to quit
My word is my bond
When I commit, I commit.

You said we'd be together
And I never had a doubt
But now you've got cold feet
Why? Well, I can't figure it out

Thought I treated you well
Yeah, sure we've had some fights
But they were nothing in comparison
To all of those glorious nights

You're all I ever wanted
It's crazy but it's true
And as I sit here in reflection
My thoughts are solely of you

I wish I could give you up
But I'm just not ready to quit
My word is my bond.
When I commit, I commit.

You said we'd be forever
Were those words just a lie?
Were you playing with my heart?
Or are you willing to try?

Please just pick up your phone
Over you. I'm afraid I'm obsessing.
Just put me out of this misery.
Don't leave me guessing

It's been three weeks
Since you left me
Things have gotten worse
Another sleepless night
Feels like I've been cursed.

Like a candle without a flame
I'm just sitting collecting dust
And I know it's all my fault
I betrayed your trust.

Ever since you left me
This world seems so black
And I know you can't help me
But I just want you back

I fall to my knees
Calling out your name
Knowing that my life
Will never be the same

Like a raging hurricane
You charged out that door
And left everything we had
Strewn across the floor

Ever since you left me
This world seems so black
And I know you can't help me
But I just want you back

I've had plenty time to think
And it's driving me demented
If I hadn't taken all that drink
This could have been prevented.

I'm not saying we can fix it
I just want you to know
I'll be sorry til the day I die
That I ever let you go.

Ever since you left me
This world seems so black
And I know you can't help me
But I just want you back

I just want you back

Candles in the window
There was silence in the air
A young girl cries out
In the middle of the prayer

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His body cold and lifeless
Along with all the rest

Another fallen soldier
Struck down by a shell
Another shattered home
Descended into hell

Her mum consoles her
She tries her very best
But her daughter knows
She's now fatherless.

She had so much to tell him
About when he was gone
Her mother holds her tightly
Telling her to be strong

She can't understand
Why he went to war
What was the cause?
What was it all for?

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His body cold and lifeless
Along with all the rest

Another fallen soldier
Struck down by a shell
Another shattered home
Another sad farewell

Feelings overwhelm her
She can hardly believe
Her chest it tightens
Now, she can hardly breathe

She stands up at the coffin
Tears rolling down her face
She looks down at her father
Knowing he can't be replaced

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His memory will live on
But he'll forever be laid to rest

Boss don't pay near enough
Struggling to make ends meat
Trying to figure out some stuff
In a world that's got me beat

My bills, they are mounting
I'm waiting to cash my cheque
I'll be left counting pennies
Seems I'm slipping into debt

Maybe I should just say fuck it
Pack up for the day
Tell the boss where he can shove it
And go about my day

Trying to watch my spending
Am I supposed to buy no food?
Not interested in lending
Though still considering if I should

Seems the game is rigged
The rules are no longer fair
We're all circling the drain
And no one seems to care

Maybe I should just say fuck it
Pack up for the day
Tell the boss where he can shove it
And go about my day

I'm sick of being broke
Supposedly I have a good job
But everytime I get paid
It feels like I've been robbed

The money ain't stretching
I need to find something new
Who am I telling? No doubt
The same things happening you

Maybe I should just say fuck it
Pack up for the day
Tell the boss where he can shove it
And go about my day

Couldn't see it coming
It caught me by surprise
Seems I've grown accustomed
To your little white lies

But when does a white lie
Do more damage than good
Seems you were thinking of yourself
A little more than you should

Empathy isn't your strong suit
But I thought we were in this together
It seems your allegiance changes
Like a shift in the weather.

Yeah,
Couldn't see it coming
It caught me by surprise
Seems I've grown accustomed
To your little white lies

Have I been played the fool
Thinking you really loved me?
Thought we were in this together
But it seems you think you're above me.

I've stuck with you for this long,
But you come first at every turn
Seems like a good way for you
To make our love burn

Couldn't see it coming
It caught me by surprise
Seems I've grown accustomed
To your little white lies

I just can't take it anymore
What you're doing to me isn't fair
If you want to be in my life
Then you'll have to show you care

Open up your heart
Tell me what it is I've done wrong?
Am I really the one you love?
Or are you just stringing me along?
