There she found me sitting in a parking lot With a 40 in my palm Drinking like I'm trying to forget Or maybe remember how to hold my head high Or maybe remember how to hold my head high Little blonde feel low in a short dress Makeup from her lashes Cutting down her face like a knife We're both thinking the same damn thing We're both thinking the same damn thing Don't give up the night, give up tonight Don't give up the night, give up tonight Don't give up the night, give up tonight Cuz you know better... Cuz you know better... She was young, he was reckless God bless it, made a mess when he left her Feeling helpless she was ready to die He told her that she was never gonna find love He told her that she was never gonna find love I've been selling my soul cheap for a fix Shaking, trying to make sense of everything Believe me, I try We're both thinking the same damn thing We're all thinking the same damn thing Don't give up the night, give up tonight Don't give up the night, give up tonight Don't give up the night, give up tonight Cuz you know better... Cuz you know better... This is some mess we're in We wanna to prove them wrong Just to break even Chin up, kid, go live the dream Chin up, kid, go live the dream Don't give up the night, give up tonight Don't give up the night, give up tonight Don't give up the night, give up tonight Cuz you know better...

Burned 03:01
Make me out to be Make me out to be A monster and a freak A mess at best at l guess That's love Love, love Find yourself in these All these lies we lead In present company Be what you want be That's love When will we learn? When will we learn? This is how we dance around the fire Don't get too close You're gonna get, gonna get burned Careful now you're walking on a wire Don't get to close You're gonna get, gonna get burned You're gonna get, gonna get burned Old world social scene Don't bite your thumb at me I play romance to please Ravage me, savagely Love... Will this tragedy become a masterpiece A pallet of lust and greed Sounds like a recipe for love When will we learn? This is how we dance around the fire Don't get too close You're gonna get, gonna get burned Careful now you're walking on a wire Don't get to close You're gonna get, gonna get burned You're gonna get, gonna get burned This is how we dance around the fire Don't get too close You're gonna get, gonna get burned Careful now you're walking on a wire Don't get to close You're gonna get, gonna get burned You're gonna get, gonna get burned

I've been keeping it together But it's wearing thin, wearing thin This mess we're in, mess we're in Short on patiences, there's no virtue When you’re with him, you're with him Just can't pretend, can't pretend I've been putting up with it far too long Wanna shout your name and I can't it's wrong Temptations at your front door And I'll knock, knock, knock, knock Leave the other man, cuz I don't wanna be Don't wanna be the other man I don't wanna be, don't wanna be The other man, the other man This deceptions in our blood now And it only you, and only you Know what to do, what to do This is vagrance Without shame, don’t lie You’re a criminal, criminal I’m a criminal, criminal I've been putting up with this shit too long Wanna drop your name and I can't it's wrong Knock, knock, knock! Leave the other man, cuz I don't wanna be Don't wanna be the other man I don't wanna be, don't wanna be The other man, the other man Can’t help myself, I’m a selfish one Can’t fool myself, I’m the only one I need you all to myself So... Leave the other man, cuz I don't wanna be Don't wanna be the other man I don't wanna be, don't wanna be The other man, the other man Leave the other man, cuz I don't wanna be Don't wanna be the other man I don't wanna be, don't wanna be The other man, the other man (be the other man) I don’t wanna (be the other man) Can’t only (be the other man) I’m always gonna (be the other man)

This City 03:45
I am just another who's waiting I'm just a crack in the pavement Lights disguise a heartache like make up They drive the dream that will make us Or break us Keep holding on, and on, and on I'll crack before I cave When I close my eyes I shine so bright But these stars are far away Keep holding on, and on, and on I'll crack before I cave, I swear I swear... This city is so unfair The streets are lit up The hope is still there I just need a little love, I swear I deserve a little love, I swear I keep my conscious in paper I live my life like an anchor I'll crumble it when I'm done with it And throw it away Cuz once I hit rock bottom That's exactly where I'll stay I'll crumble it when I'm done with it And throw it away, I swear I swear... This city is so unfair The streets are lit up The hope is still there I just need a little love, I swear I deserve a little love, I swear Turn off these blinding lights Turn off these blinding lights Turn off these blinding lights Turn off these blinding lights Turn off these blinding lights Turn off these blinding lights Turn off the lights, turn off the lights... This city is so unfair The streets are lit up The hope is still there I just need a little love, I swear I deserve a little love, I swear

You don't want this So, don't call me out I'm bad news And everybody knows it, but no one ever says a single word Hands racing To catch up with your pulse We get so close It's gone before you know it like a shiver down the center of your spine Bad, bad, bad habits I'll confess in the weekend Confess on the weekend I may be a mess But confess in the weekend All these bad habits Never stop, stop, stop bad habits There's no shame here But I'm not too proud So reckless And everybody knows it, but no one ever says a single word It's all wrong But it hurts so good Yeah, it hurts so good, good, good, good Bad, bad, bad habits I'll confess in the weekend Confess on the weekend I may be a mess But confess in the weekend All these bad habits Never stop, stop, stop bad habits Oh, how our young blood boils in the heat of the night I'm a big, bad, cold­blooded thriller, let it ride Chase me down like liquor, let it linger on your lips Go to church, born sinner, I ain't even gonna lie Don't be shy just surrender to that hunger in your eyes Feeling vicious on the dance floor, come on let it out, out, out, out, out Come on, let it out I'll confess in the weekend Confess on the weekend I may be a mess But confess in the weekend All these bad habits Never stop, stop, stop bad habits

Turn You On 03:58
These sharp words have two sides, two sides To cut my skin while severing new ties, new ties Tell me, is that the way you like it? Tell me, is that your game? Tell me, is that the way you like it? Tell me, is that your game? Tell me... Does this turn you on, love? Does this turn you on, love? To see me suffer, to suffer, to suffer (don't stop) I need your body, your body, your body So bad... I've held those hands, damn baby, they're so cold, you're so cold But we do this for the chill, trust me, I’ve been told, been told Tell me, is that the way you like it? Tell me, is that your game? Tell me, is that the way you like it? Tell me, is that your game? Tell me... Does this turn you on, love? Does this turn you on, love? To see me suffer, to suffer, to suffer (don't stop) I need your body, your body, your body So bad... It’s quite likely I’m the one you need You just might be more fucked up than me Hold on tightly, leave some room to breathe Either way you’ll squeeze the life from me Does this turn you on, love? Does this turn you on, love? To see me suffer, to suffer, to suffer (don't stop) I need your body, your body, your body So bad...

Reflections 02:54
Shoo girl, don't bother me I’ve got the recipe For disaster tried and truly faltering Caked under fingernails that bleed backs When we’re far too frail Truth, I need jesus more than you could ever know Yeah, need jesus more than you could ever know Caked under fingernails that bleed backs When we’re far too frail Maybe girls don’t like when their boys don’t talk But we sure won’t mind I lost my reflection I need some reflection Some time to reflect on Keeping it together, I feel like I am falling apart Stone; I am shallow got a thing for Pretty bones; quite hollow with a case of Porous skin, don't lie when you can't hide the demons That are wrapped inside Maybe girls don't like when their boys don't talk But we sure won’t mind I lost my reflection I need some reflection Some time to reflect on Keeping it together, I feel like I am falling apart I've been doing it alone I've been doing this for too long For too long And my heart aches Breaks like glass from the mirror Stuck in the soles of our feet Our souls and our feet Our souls and our feet I lost my reflection I need some reflection Some time to reflect on Keeping it together, I feel like I am falling apart

Lord knows this vicious tongue Don't make the best impression But I got it and you need and I won't be taking that back Your stare could stop my heart Shame was our only child If I have to drink to keep it alive I'll consume the whole damn night Cuz you got it and I need it and I won't be taking that back Bring your love to me, bring your love to me We're not dead yet, this souls a bit lonely Put me down softly, bring your love to me Show me your precious skin I'll form a new religion We don't make love you and I This worship this so damn divine Cuz you got it and I need it and I won't be taking it back Bring your love to me, bring your love to me We're not dead yet, this souls a bit lonely Put me down softly, bring your love to me I'll be your man on the cross Just keep warm in the midnight hours I'll write your name on the walls You bring the passion I will lay down my life Bring your love to me, bring your love to me We're not dead yet, this souls a bit lonely Put me down softly, bring your love to me

Lowlife 03:15
Keep keep up with thIs endeavor I'll sin first, make you feel better Stringing me along, I know what's going on Got caught near the back of a bottle You fell hard now swear you're a martyr I'm seeing through it all, it's on the bathroom wall Let's pretend you're not The one I'll find under my sheets despite I know you'll be under my sheets tonight Now it's all my fault, now it's all my fault If it wasn't for the lowlife's like us You wouldn't have anyone to blame Let's hear for the lowlife's like us Let's hear it for the lowlife's like us Love love This role that were playing I call it sex, you call it dating Your shifting the blame, we're sharing the shame Maybe that's what makes me the monster So unsure, but such a big talker When you split your lips If it wasn't for the lowlife's like us You wouldn't have anyone to blame Let's hear for the lowlife's like us Let's hear it for the lowlife's like us Even if you're not The one I'll find under my sheets tonight You're always under someone's sheets in school spite To put me to shame If it wasn't for the lowlife's like us You wouldn't have anyone to blame Let's hear for the lowlife's like us Let's hear it for the lowlife's like us

Pray Tell 03:30
Keep it together we're preparing for the fallout Under the weather, over­zealous, and it's all down Hill from here, pills and heels Do hinder grace, protect your knees when all the shit drops Respect the trends, and buy new friends While you're still on top Above the curve, you'll never learn Go ahead get, girl Get, get down with yourself Pray tell, did you ever find that life you were searching? While you’re a hot mess drown in a cold sweat out on the ballroom floor You shivered so hard that you made the windows shake I said, you shivered so hard that you made the windows shake Hold down the beat you're gonna need some time to reflect On everything that led to this, no need hold back Don't push repeat, keep it unique There has to be someway to put this all in context Perhaps a melody that fell apart and left you so flat You missed the note that mattered most Go ahead get, girl Get, get down with yourself Pray tell, did you ever find that life you were searching? While you’re a hot mess drown in a cold sweat out on the ballroom floor Go ahead get, girl, get down with yourself Go ahead get, girl, get down with yourself Pray tell, did you ever find that life you were searching? While you’re a hot mess drown in a cold sweat out on the ballroom floor
