Dia Frampton Red Lyrics
1.Don't Kick the Chair (featuring Kid Cudi)

Writer:Dia Frampton/Scott Mescudi/Michael Busbee/Julie Frost

Have you ever felt like everybody's watching
Waiting for you to lose
Have you ever felt like you're living in a spot light
Searching for the real you
Tell me have you ever woken up
Just to wish you could close your eyes
Getting hard to find a friend in a city like this
Where you can't even trust a smile

There are lonely nights when you see no hope
And you're feeling short of breathe
Like a whole damn world is a braded rope
In a noose surround your neck

Don't kick the chair
It's gonna get better
Don't kick the chair
It can only get better

Have you ever felt love, really really felt love
The kind I could save a life
But right before you know it you find out in a moment
You're gonna have to say goodbye

There are lonely nights when you see no hope
And you're feeling short of breathe
Like a whole damn world is a braded rope
In a noose surround your neck

Don't kick the chair
It's gonna get better
Don't kick the chair
It can only get better

Yep yep you know
If I can make it through then you can to
Yep yep I'm good focus like always
Feels like I've been hit hit by ten brick walls
Some people like you just sit sit and wait for you to fall
Then bound back way quicker than you fell down
Laugh in their face like what
See nothing can break me
No no no no listen
If you gotta think twice about life
Some really ain't right
You don't need no help
You could be better all by yourself
You could be better all by yourself
You could be better all by yourself yeah
You could be better all by yourself ooh

Don't kick the chair
It's gonna get better
Don't kick the chair
It can only get better

Don't kick the chair
It's gonna get better
Don't kick the chair
It can only get better


2.Isabella

Writer:Dia Frampton/Troy Verges/Brett James

Isabella, Isabella
I heard you crying through the walls
What's the matter, What's the matter
All the neighbors can hear it down the halls

And I didn't wanna be the first to say
Everyone around here thinks you're crazy
And I didn't wanna be the first to say you shouldn't stay

Isabella, run away

All your heroes, all your records
You play 'em loud but I don't mind the noise
Why you hidin' why you stayin
Maybe you don't think you have a choice

And I didn't wanna tell you face to face
That your mom and dad are straight up crazy
It's really hard for me to say that you shouldn't stay

Isabella, run away

Don't you be afraid
It's never too late
You're a sleeping tiger come awake

Isabella, run away

Out the window of your bedroom
Climb on down the firescape
I left some money and a suitcase
For the first time in your life don't be afraid

And baby I will be the first to say
You are stronger than you know you'll find your way

Isabella, run away

Don't you be afraid
It's never too late
You're a sleeping tiger come awake

Isabella, run away

(Isabella, Isabella) x2

Don't you be afraid
It's never too late
You're a sleeping tiger come awake

Isabella, run away


3.The Broken Ones

Writer:Dia Frampton/Ross Copperman/Tom Shapiro

I know they've hurt you bad
Why hide the scars you have
Baby let me straighten out your broken bones
All your faults to me make you more beautiful
I can't help it I love the broken ones
the ones who need the most patching up
the ones who never been loved
never been loved
never been loved enough

Maybe I see a part of me in them
The missing piece always trying to fit in
the shattered heart hungry for a home
no you're not alone
I love the broken ones

You don't have to drive with your headlights off
It's a pocket knife, not a gift from God
Don't you learn of love from the love they kept
I will be your anchor, slowly, step by step

Maybe we can rip off the bandage
Maybe you will see it for what it is
Maybe we can burn this building holding you in


4.Good Boy

Writer:Dia Frampton/Chris Seefried

You're gonna have to take him away, cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
Mamma's crying out, 'Where's he hiding?'
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy.

And now he's sleeping at home in his rocket ship bed
Why does being good feel so damn bad?
He stares at a picture of his run away dad
shines his flashlight steady.
Kid, you're such an easy target, without a rebel bone.
You're so compliant, quiet as a stepping stone.
Did he give you the love you were yearning for? Did he give you
what you need?

Have you heard the headlines on Blackberry street
There lived a kid out there in number 523
He came home smelling of old shaving cream
He began to act out.
He became a little devil, BB gun to the birds
and he spit out the F! and the S! and D! words
His mamma asked the priest and the priest replied,
'He used to be an angel, mam, Ya, I don't know why.'

You can keep a secret right? Right. I can trust you with my
life? Right.
I don't get no sleep at night, Night. You can keep a secret
right?


5.I Will (featuring Blake Shelton)

Writer:Dia Frampton/Michael Busbee/Tom Shapiro

If you forget the reason that you're singing
and it's hard to find the song of your soul
just remember how you helped me start believing
anytime you're feeling down, I hope you know

Whose gonna always have your back
Whose gonna be a friend like that
I will, I will
whose gonna try to make you laugh
remind you life ain't all that bad
I will, I will

If you're feeling like the queen of nothing's working
and you question every choice you make
When you're sick and tired of being so uncertain
and everything you thought was right is lost along the way

Anytime, anyplace, I don't care
No questions, no judgements, I'll be there

When all your wells are running dry
and nothing's really going right
who's gonna help you fight the fight


6.Billy the Kid

Writer:Dia Frampton/Mark Foster/Isom Innis

Now once upon a time when the west was old
A ma saw her son was a sight to behold
he could shoot his daddy's gun like a straight arrow
He wrestled with the rattlesnakes before he walked
Ya, He grew up fast with a hardened grit
and he had the pluck and he had the wit
Ya his mamma called him William till he up and quit
and in these here parts he's known as Billy The kid

I've had you in my sights, my arms for so long.
Where did you go? I didn't know.
I've been around here waiting for so long, so long
And I'll wait for you.

He was as tough as nails, barging in the saloon
missing an eye, gun glowed in the moon
he called out to the crowd, 'I don't want no fuss.
See, I'm looking for a runaway, who looks like this!'
And he slammed the paper down, it was covered in dust,
but the crowd kept silent, sure, he looked real tough,
but they knew the portrait well, and they knew not to,
mess with Billy the kid and his gang of thugs

The sheriff knocked on the door of a pretty girl
tipped his hat, said, 'We gotta have a look around.
We'll give you cash if you tip off the fugitive.'
She bit her lip, she was in love and acted clueless.
He grabbed her arm and said, 'We heard you been a harborin'.
Give him up, I give my world I'll keep your name clean.'
She steered 'em clear of the cracks in the floorboards and
said, 'You'll never find him, you'll never find him!'


7.Daniel

Writer:Dia Frampton/Toby Gad/Lindy Robbins

Do you still sleep without your pillows in the house on Cherry
street?
Do you hear the sea?
And we promised we would meet back up in Autumn,
But next spring came crawlin' on its knees.
You couldn't fit inside my suitcase,
And I didn't wanna be slowed down.
Sometimes I wish that I could turn the clock around.
Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and
thick
Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed.
I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lying.
You stood there with your palms out, your crying was silent
Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then.
Why'd you let me win?
I remember when we spoke of flying North to Paris, France,
Just to feed the birds
And do you still have that old napkin you took home from the
cafe,
Where I wrote those 3 words?

You couldn't follow me to LA
I should have never took that job
Now three years have passed and I still feel so robbed
Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and
thick
Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed.
I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lying.
You stood there with your palms out, your crying was silent
Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then.
Why'd you let me win?
Have you settled down with someone since I gave you time to
grow?
Do you ever think about me, was it easy to let go?
I was such a foolish soul.
Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and
thick
Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed.
I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lying.
You stood there with your palms out, your crying was silent
Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then.
Why'd you let me win?
Why'd you let me win?


8.Walk Away

Writer:Dia Frampton/Jimmy Harry/Fran Hall

Looking back on younger days, the time has passed, and nothing
stays the same.
She was such a pretty girl, with glowing eyes and yellow curls.
Hey!
Stars are in a summer night, She's wishing that they'd fall down
through the atmosphere, for a souvenir.
She's waiting for her Superman, her Never land, cause He can
show the way.
Where's her missing piece her mind's been chasing, chasing?

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade, you better run
away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do, no matter
what you say.
She's tellin' tales through telephone that make you cry, chill
to the bone. Hey!
It's lock and key, electrified, hide and seek from dirty eyes
Driving in the rain to somewhere far, but they've got tattoos
stamped upon their arms, of her name in hearts
She doesn't understand that love is what you give, not given up.
Hey!
Where's her missing piece her mind's been chasing, chasing?
Yeah you better not sleep, because she's waiting, waiting.
She knows all about you. You're in her aim.


9.Bullseye

Writer:Dia Frampton/Isabella Summers

We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna save you
We're rolling up our sleeves, got our fingers curled
for the bad, for the good, for the evil,
they got it out for me, for me

We're tripping hard, gotta hit it on the bullseye
we gotta check our traps, gotta sneak out late
for the girls, and the boys, for the broken
they got it bad for me, for me

We gotta run, gotta run, who will save me
we're rolling up our sleeves
We're trippin hard gotta hit it on the bullseye
they got it out for me

Baby, it's the chain reaction, you'll see.
It's a lonely, lonely world, at a crazy, crazy speed
and you don't need no more distractions from me
it's a lonely lonely world, at a crazy, crazy speed

Ya hit a groove, hit a groove on your back road
You walk the boulevard looking for a change
in your eyes, in your hands, at your young age
They're looking low for you, for you

They got it out for me. They got it out for me.


10.Trapeze

Writer:Dia Frampton/David Hodges/David Harris

I'll never tell you what I saw
or how it made me breathe.
I'll never repeat what I heard
how long it took me to leave.
I'll never tell you what I saw
or how it made my smile freeze
Cause this world is a whirlwind, but I'm holding that trapeze
and I'll never tell you what I saw

I'll never tell you who I loved
or how they made me free
I'll never tell you how I slept
back when I was 15
I thought that I could just forget
the bricks that have built me
but this world is a whirlwind and I'm holding that trapeze
and I'll never tell you who I loved

but If I could tell you one thing
I would tell you I'm not leaving
If I could show you one thing
all my mistakes have shaped me
into who I am
and who I am just wants to make you home

I'll never tell you why I drive
into the night and back again
I hardly speak of my home town
My little hands in the cement
I'll never tell you what I saw, close the door, swallow the key
but this world is a whirlwind and I'm holding that trapeze
Ya this world keeps on turning, love is carried in a sling
Ya this world is a whirlwind and I'm holding that trapeze.
So I'll never tell you what I saw


11.Homeless

Writer:Dia Frampton

Walking along the streets of New York with a bag full of old
memories but I'll follow you.
And I always thought that home was up the stairs to space 11B
but time can change things too.

Red, yellow, red, green
Traffic in the city, reflects light in your eyes.
Hands touch, eyes meet, I remember perfectly the night we fell
in love.

Everywhere we go is home baby home, home is you're with me
Everything we touch is love, baby love, love is all we need
Is all we need. Is all we need.

I don't need a roof over my head while I've got your hands to
shade the sun away from my face
I don't need a space to call my own, to scatter records on my
floor, you're my secret place.

Red, yellow, red, green
Traffic on a side street, the corner where we met
Lips touch, you breathe, right into the soul of me, I haven't
come down yet

You're all I'll ever need, You're all I'll ever need


12.Hearts Out to Dry

Writer:Dia Frampton

It's too late, you're too late
reach for the window pane
look to our childhood for screws that are loose, don't we?

We all know ourselves well
winter has dug in its heels
living like all love we worked for was something we stole.

How does the wind sing so sweet
even after all this time
How the lights dim, heavenly
taking back what was mine
you should have seen the way you loved me
leaving our hearts out to dry
you should have seen the way you left me
leaving our hearts out to dry

How did we come to this?
Chips in the paint that we missed.
Hard to put my finger down on the day it turned cold.

June turned into July.
Oh how the time will fly by
We were so careless to run from the words that we spoke
