Bomb

I could be sitting at the table
I could be watching a commercial
I could be distracted on a phone call
And then you hit me like a brick wall
One text is all it takes
You’re like a bomb
And I’ll never be the same
My heart just blown away
In the middle of the day
You’re like a bomb
Thought I was doing ok
My heart just blown away
In the middle of the day
You’re like a bomb
I bet you’re doing alright
Moving on with your best life
While I’m dreaming about you every damn night
It’s like you’re hiding out in my mind
One text is all it takes
You’re like a bomb
And I’ll never be the same
My heart just blown away
In the middle of the day
You’re like a bomb
Thought I was doing ok
My heart just blown away
In the middle of the day
I’m so angry with the power you hold
I’m trying to move on and let go
I just wanna let down my guard
Without falling apart
One text is all it takes
You’re like a bomb
And I’ll never be the same
My heart just blown away
In the middle of the day
You’re like a bomb
Thought I was doing ok
My heart just blown away
In the middle of the day
You’re like a bomb

I guess I’m lucky that I’m starting where I am
I’ll be ok if I’m not rigid with a plan
I’ll be ok if I don’t listen to a man
Because I’ve learned what matters
God know that we’re all taught that the
Epitome
Of humanity
Looks like youth, and fame, and money
But you come to find
That you can make a life
Just outside the lines
And still be satisfied
If I can’t do it the way I want, then I don’t want to do it all
I guess I’m lucky I got people in my life
I know they they love me even when I’m not alright
They love me when I’m not productive like I’d like
They let me know that matters
God knows we’re taught that worthiness
And happiness
Is based on our success
And there’s just one way to get it
But you come to find
That you can make a life
Just outside the lines
And still be satisfied
If I can’t do it the way I want, then I don’t want to do it all
Somebody once sat me down and said I was being lazy
‘Cause I spent a Friday night at home with my baby
That mentality
It used to work on me, well
It hasn’t been working on me lately
If I can’t do it the way I want, then I don’t want to do it all

A Thousand Ways
03:50

Have I lost my touch?
Do I think too much?
Am I too late, or too old?
Tell me, did I miss the boat?
Am I out of luck?
Gotta remind myself what I know so well
There are a thousand ways to get there
Even if it takes a hundred failed attempts
That hundred and first try
The one that you get right
Oh it feels so good
And maybe there are a thousand ways to get there
And I’ll get there when I should
Still, it’s hard to see
When there’s no one like me
But I’m used to the unknown
And I feel so at home when I’m standing solitary
Gotta remind myself what I know so well
There are a thousand ways to get there
Even if it takes a hundred failed attempts
That hundred and first try
The one that you get right
Oh it feels so good
And maybe there are a thousand ways to get there
And I’ll get there when I should
Oh my memory’s broken
Yeah, it’s telling me lies
Just ‘cause it hasn’t happened yet
Doesn’t mean there won’t be a first time
With a million ways to get there
I know I’m gonna find a bit of happiness
That hundred and first try that’s taken your whole life
Oh it feels so good
And maybe there are a thousand ways to get there
And I'll get there
There are a thousand ways to get there
Even if it takes a hundred failed attempts
That hundred and first try
That's taken your whole life
Oh it feels so good
And maybe there are a thousand ways to get there
And I’ll get there when I should

Wild Woman
03:00

Woke up in January
The whole year laid out for me
Kicked off that month with very lofty goals and bigger dreams
Woke up in late December
Back where i used to be
Still nothing done, I wonder, what’s the missing puzzle piece?
I sit alone at home
Paralyzed by the fear of what could wrong
Too scared to take a chance
Where’s that wild woman?
She used to live inside of me
But that’s in the past
She’s gone and she’ll never come back
Old dresses in the closet
They’re just collecting dust
I worked for years to break down doors
Only to let ‘em shut
Can’t make a plan and
I can’t get it off the ground
Can’t look at pictures from the past without me breaking down
I sit alone at home
Paralyzed by the fear of what could wrong
Too scared to take a chance
Where’s that wild woman?
She used to live inside of me
But that’s in the past
She’s gone and she’ll never come back
Woke up in mid-September
Just shy of 32
Some fucking throwback Thursday
Popped up and killed my mood
That woman in the photo
Feels like a stranger now
She’s so naive, she doesn’t know how much I let her down
I sit alone at home
Paralyzed by the fear of what could wrong
Too scared to take a chance
Where’s that wild woman?
She used to live inside of me
But that’s in the past
She’s gone and she’ll never come back

You Don't Know Who I Am
04:40

Someone else’s coat is keeping me warm tonight
Someone else’s skirt isn’t fitting me right
Someone else’s mouth is saying the things you like
I gotta keep that someone around if I’m gonna live this lie
Is it time to tell the truth
That I’m just not myself with you?
You don’t even know who I am
And you’ll never understand
I’m just performing in a mask whenever you’re around
And I hide everything that I am
In my elaborate plan to keep you happy and content
But you don’t know who I am
Looking at my life, you could divide it up
Draw a line between who I am with you and who I was
How many stifled opinions ‘till I hide ‘em all?
How many lies ‘till I look around, not knowing who I’ve become?
Is it time to break the news
That I’m just not myself with you?
You don’t even know who I am
And you’ll never understand
I’m just performing in a mask whenever you’re around
And I hide everything that I am
In my elaborate plan to keep you happy and content
But you don’t know who I am
Whenever we’d make plans
I dreaded them
I’d spend the night before just crying on the shower floor
Through all that pain
I’m forever changed
I’d make a bet that you’re exactly who you were before
You don’t even know who I am
And you’ll never understand
I’m just performing in a mask whenever you’re around
And I hide everything that I am
In my elaborate plan to keep you happy and content
But you don’t know who I am
