There’s something ‘bout the way the street looks when it’s just rained
I’m trying so hard not to get caught up
I don’t know how it gets better than this
With you I’d dance In a storm in my best dress
You pull me in and I’m a little more brave
Take a deep breath and walk through the doors
Try to stay out of everybody’s way
You know, I haven’t seen you around before
When you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them
When someone tells you they love you, you’re going to believe them
We’ll be outta here as soon as we can
All you wanted was to be wanted
All I wanted was to be wanted
Back then, I swore I was gonna marry him someday
I realized some bigger dreams of mine
I’ve found time can heal most anything
I didn’t know who I was supposed to be
I didn’t know who I was supposed to be at fifteen
We were both young when I first saw you
I’m begging you, please don’t go
Take me somewhere we can be alone
All there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story, baby just say yes.
They’re trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
My faith in you is fading
I keep waiting for you but you never come
I don’t know what to think
You’ll never have to be alone
I love you, and that’s all I really know
Go pick out a white dress
I know looks can be deceiving
I know I saw a light in you
I didn’t say half the things I wanted to
You might have me believing I don’t always have to be alone
I can’t help it if you look like an angel
I wanna kiss you in the rain
Come feel this magic I’ve been feeling since I met you
I can’t help it if there’s no one else
I’ve been holding back this feeling, so I got some things to say to you
I never seen nobody shine the way you do
I’ve seen it all, so I thought
I think you and I should stay the same
Why aren’t you here tonight?
I could give you fifty reasons why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well, they’re beautiful but would they write a song for you?
That face of an angel comes out just when you need it to
I honestly believed in you
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Maybe I was naive, got lost in your eyes
I didn’t know to be in love that you had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me
I’m gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
She’s going off about something that you said
She doesn’t get your humor like I do
What you’re looking for has been here the whole time
Why can’t you see that you belong with me?
I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be
You’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
You say you’re fine but I know you better than that
I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
All this time how could you not know?
Have you ever thought just maybe you belong with me?
BREATHE (FEAT. COLBIE CALLAIT)
None of us thought it was gonna end that way
People are people and sometimes we change our minds
It’s killing me to see you go after all this time
I don’t know what to be without you around
We know it’s never simple
You’re the only thing I know like the back of my hand
I can’t breathe without you, but I have to
I never wanted this, I never wanna see you hurt
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out
It’s 2 A.M, feeling like I just lost a friend
You might think I’m bulletproof, but I’m not
You took a swing, I took it hard
Down here from the ground I see who you are
I’m sick and tired of your attitude
I’m feeling like I don’t know you
You tell me that you love me, then cut me down
You know you got a mean streak
I remember what you said last night
I know, that you see, what you’re doing to me
You could write a book on how to ruin someone’s perfect day
I’m sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me, then push me around
Why do you have to make me feel small?
Why do you have to put down my dreams?
I’ve been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down
It’s taken me this long, baby, but I’ve figured you out
You’re thinking we’ll be fine again, but not this time around
You don’t have to call anymore
I don’t wanna hurt anymore
You can tell me that you’re sorry but I don’t believe you, baby, like I did before
I might believe you if I didn’t know
I could’ve loved you all my life if you hadn’t left me waiting in the cold
You’ve got your share of secrets and I’m tired of being last to know
You used to shine so bright, but I watched all of it fade
I couldn’t ask for anything better
You look beautiful tonight
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It’s 2AM and I’m cursing your name
I never knew I could feel that much
You’re so in love that you acted insane
He can’t see the smile I’m faking
My heart’s not breaking cause I’m not feeling anything at all
I don’t feel welcome anymore
You feel so low you can’t feel nothing at all
I was there when you said forever and always
Did I say something way too honest?
I thought I knew you for a minute, now I’m not so sure
Did you forget everything?
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
You’re not scared of anything at all
I know I had the best day with you today
How my friends could be so mean?
I don’t know who I’m going to talk to now at school
I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger
You’re the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
I didn’t know if you knew
I believe in whatever you do
I’ll do anything to see it through
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
The time will come for us to finally win
So we’ve been outnumbered, raided, and now cornered
It’s hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair
They might be bigger but we’re faster and never scared
There’s something in your eyes says we can beat this
I like the way you sound in the morning
Your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard
All I can think is we should be together
Don’t be afraid to jump then fall
I’m never gonna leave you
The time is gonna come when you’re so mad you could cry
I’ll hold you through the night until you smile
Every time you smile, I smile
Every time you shine, I shine
I’m reaching out and I just can’t tell you why
When you’re close, I feel like coming undone
Say that we’ll be together
I won’t wait here all day
I want to feel you by my side and standing next to me
I don’t wanna go there anymore
I know all the steps up to your door but I don’t wanna go there anymore
I’ll leave my window open
I’m too tired at night to call your name
Just know I’m right here hoping that you’ll come in with the rain
I could stand up and sing you a song but I don’t wanna have to go that far
I’ve got you down, I know you by heart and you don’t even know where I start
I don’t know what else I can say
I’m too tired at night for all these games
This is wrong but I can’t help but feel like there ain’t nothing more right
I can’t help but wish I could see your face
I knew from the first note played I’d be breaking all my rules to see you
I’m no one special, just another wide-eyed girl who’s desperately in love with you
Loneliness comes around when I’m not dreaming about you
I knew when I saw your face I’d be counting down the ways to see you
I’m invisible and everyone knows who you are
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR
In the heat of the fight I walked away ignoring words that you were saying
This time I’ve had enough
I’m so mad I might tell you that it’s over
All I need is on the other side of the door
I keep going back over things we both said
If you know everything tell me why you couldn’t see when I left, I wanted you to chase after me
I don’t need you, but I do
There’s nothing you can say to make this right again, I mean it
I used to be a damsel in distress
Time slows down whenever you’re around
Can you feel this magic in the air?
I fell in love when I saw you standing there
It’s getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense 'til the time I saw your face
YOU ALL OVER ME (FEAT. MAREN MORRIS)
I lived, and I learned, had you, got burned
Swore that I’d get out of here
No amount of freedom gets you clean
I’ve still got you all over me
The best and worst day of June was the one that I met you
Don’t you wish you had me?
Every breath of air I breathe reminds me of then
I watched a part of myself die
I’ve been waitin’ for you all my life
Every single day until the end, I will be by your side
It takes everything in me just to get up each day
Hello Mr. “Perfectly fine”, how’s your heart after breaking mine?
It’s wonderful to see that you’re okay
Everything revolves around you
Well, I thought you might be different than the rest, I guess you’re all the same
'Cause I hear he’s got his arm 'round a brand-new girl
I never got past what you put me through but it’s wonderful to see that it never fazed you
When it was good, baby, it was good
No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark
Goodbye’s so much harder 'cause we were happy
I hate those voices telling me I’m not in love anymore
THAT’S WHEN (FEAT. KEITH URBAN)
Need some space to think about all of this
All this playing, did you ever think of me?
I’ll be waiting at the front gate
I did you wrong, made mistakes and put you through all of this
I knew I’d run into you somewhere
I’m sure she’ll make you happy
Don’t smile at me and ask me how I’ve been
Don’t say you’ve missed me if you don’t want me again
You don’t how much I feel I love you still
Sometimes I really wish that I could hate you
I swore I wouldn’t do this
It wasn’t just like a movie
This is the last time I’ll drive this way again
I still love you but I can't
I was so sure of everything we thought we’d always have
Seems like I’m becoming part of your past
There’s so much that I can’t touch
You’re all I want but it’s not enough this time
I can feel you like you’re slipping through my hands
I’m so scared of how this ends
I want you back but it’s coming down to nothing
