When I walk I walk with purpose, knowing each step I take is worth it. I find time alone to complete my thoughts, answer my questions, be my own boss. I walk the avenue like I know where I'm going. There's always a new destination, in this dream we're all constantly chasing. When will I get there? Who will I see? How will they know me? Who will I be? My mind is always wondering, I'm probably looking incomplete. Feeling kind of scared, but I know I'm prepared. Pick your head up high, no need to be shy. Feel strong feel empowered. You got to sing it out in the shower. Sing your song with a feeling you can't explain. Better belt the beauty, fear, love, and pain. Don't be afraid to let your face show. Come on you gotta sing with guts come on baby you gotta let it go. Don't you dare waste another minute, not being in it. Feeling kind of scared. I know I'm prepared. Pick your head up high! No need to be shy. I'm flying high you never know until you try and you just don't stand by. Feeling kind of scared. I know I'm prepared. Pick my head up high! No need to be shy.

Unlike any love song, you did it with your clothes on. Stretched out in the back seat head, under your feet, hands in the air no time to care. Right always feels wrong, like any old love song. You run from the bedroom kissing his head, hands on the wall just can't have it all. Take the ride. Gotta do what you feel inside. When you came, he didn't run. And when you cried out, he'd come. Sky's turning purple, head spinning in circles. You're trying to leave he's pulling your sleeve he's got what you need take what you can. You start to linger, he's pointing a finger. You're laying in bed saying love me instead he's shaking his head don't give a damn. Take the ride, come on. Gotta do what you feel inside. When you came, he didn't run. And when you cried out, he'd come. There's something you couldn't see. Chasing a fantasy not reality. It may be difficult to shake it off. But when it's said and done you're musch better off. Take the ride. Gotta do what you feel inside. When you came he didn't run. When you cried out he'd come.

When things fell out of place, you came in like an angel, and cleared the space. It's not far from what you are, you're just floating above, free as a star. And it hurts me so you'll never know the roots of love that you helped grow. Spread so far through others hearts, your soul with all its playful parts. You cleared a path so I could sing, but no one saw your suffering, I only wish that you held on. Holly how'd things go so wrong. Holly how'd things go so wrong. It's been so hard moving on. Holly how'd things go so wrong. You had hopes for a great tomorrow. you wrote these dreams in a song. As we all played along. I only wish you weren't gone. Oh it's been so hard moving on. And it hurts me so you'll never know the roots of love that you helped grow. It spread so far through others hearts, your soul with all its playful parts. You cleared a path so I could sing, but no one saw your suffering. I only wish that you held on. Holly how'd things go so wrong. Holly how'd things go so wrong. It's been so hard moving on. Holly how'd things go so wrong.

You follow my shadow though I never gave you light. You lead me to lean on you when I stood tall you’d pick a fight. Now you’re claiming my garden though I planted every seed. Stop bringing me water I think I got all I need. I know you can’t resist it but you need to keep your distance. You never leave me you never let me go, you never leave me, alone. You never leave me you never let me go, you never leave me, alone. Always wearing a crown, claiming you’re a queen. And I always believed in you, though your kindness went unseen. Got no choice to stay now. I can’t ignore, can’t ignore my battered heart. But one thing is clear now, yeah, we’re so much better off apart. I know you can’t resist it but you need to keep your distance. You never leave me you never let me go, you never leave me, alone. You never leave me you never let me go, you never leave me, alone. Why won’t you leave me alone. Got got to leave me. Go. I know you can’t resist it but you need to keep your distance. You Never Leave me you never let me go, you Never Leave me, alone. You Never Leave me you never let me go, you Never Leave me, alone.

You take your time to ease on in. I lose control in your embrace but never win. You make my chest feel so damn tight. My heart ain’t even got a chance to put up a fight. Something told me it was right. Would you believe that something told me it was right. Something told me it was right. Oh I can’t believe that something told me it was right, it was right. You chase down every dress in town, but here I am dressed up and waiting for you now. Won’t let no woman pass you by. You taking every chance you get to satisfy. Oh. Something told me it was right. I can’t believe that something told me it was right. Something told me it was right. Would you believe me if I told you it was right. Something told me it was right. I can’t believe that something told me it was right. Something told me it was right. Would you believe me if I told you it was right. It was right.. Oh that up and down feeling, that never knowing when he’s coming home feeling, but when he does feel it, he’s gonna hold you like you never know he’s real, he can make you feel like this is love, this is love. Oh that runaway feeling, the thing that tells you that you should stay reason you give yourself, every day because you keep believing that this crazy feeling is love. Is love oh now baby. That runaway feeling that thing that tells you you should stay reason you give yourself, everyday because you keep believing that this crazy feeling is love. Something told me it was right. I can’t believe that something told me it was right.

I felt good all the time. I got soul I put it into every line. And if there's something that I need to find, why don’t you tell me now? Speak your mind. I put my all and every note, but all you’re trying to do is cut my throat. And if there’s something that I need to find, whu don't you tell me now and stop wasting my time. Woh woh you know you’re always talking, woh woh saying nothing. I got soul, this is the last time. No more, no more making mistakes. I was a fool when I started changing, chasing, chasing your devious ways. I feel angry, I feel betrayed. I feel used and now I wanna turn the page. If you don’t feel me baby that’s ok. Cause all you’re doing can’t hurt me anyway. Woh woh you know you’re always talking, woh woh sayin nothing. I got soul, this is the last time. No more no more making mistakes. I was a fool when I started changing, chasing chasing your devious ways. Pave your way through darkness, until you reach the light. Pave your way through darkness until you reach the light. Solo. Pave your way through darkness until you reach the light. Oh no I ain’t gonna stand here waiting for you to treat me right. I got soul, this is the last time. No more no more making mistakes. I was a fool when I started changing, chasing chasing your devious ways. I got soul, this is the last time. No more no more making mistakes. I was a fool when I started changing, chasing chasing your devious ways. I'm tired of all those things you do to try to bring me down. I've been behind myself so long but now I'm singing loud. I'm tired of all those things you do to try to bring me down. I've been behind myself so long but now I'm singing loud. Tired of all those things you do to try to bring me down.
