1.tattoo

oh oh oh

No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later I get what I'm asking for

No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
The truth is a stranger
Soul is in danger I gotta let my spirit be free
To admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind

I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you (I'll always have you)

Sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I've gotta be strong and leave you behind

I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you (I'll always have you)

If I live every moment
Won't change any moment
There's still a part of me in you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do
oh
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothings broken (yeah)
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back got a new direction (don't look back)
I loved you once, needed protection (no, no)
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo

I can't waste time so give it a moment (i can't waste time)
I realized nothings broken
No need to worry about everything I've done (no need to worry)
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back at got a new direction (don't you ever look
back)
I loved you once and I needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you


2.one step at a time

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough that you can taste
But you just can't touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
You wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind impatient, waiting
We live and we learn to take...
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You're confused and got it all figured out
Everything that you've always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
You wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind impatient, waiting
We live and we learn to take...
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight (When you need to find the strength)
It's your faith that makes you stronger
The only we get there is one step at a time
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time


3.no air (duet with chris brown)

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air.......

If I should die before I wake
Because you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Is there an other way that I can make you understand?

But how
Do you expect me, to live alone with just me?
Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breath with no air
That's how I feel whenever you ain't there
There's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be here without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air

No air,air
No air,air
No air,air
No air,air

I walked, I ran, I jumped,
I took right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down, for real

But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath but I survived
I don't know how but I don't even care

So how do you expect me to live alone with just me?
Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breath with no air
That's how I feel whenever you ain't there
There's no air, no air

Got me here out in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be here without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air

No air,air
No air,air
No air,air
No air,air

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breath with no air
That's how I feel whenever ain't there
There's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be here without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breath with no air
That's how I feel whenever ain't there
There's no air, no air

Got me here out in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be here without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air

No air,air
No air,air
No air,air
No air


4.freeze

Hold the pose
A perfect picture
Just so i remember how you lookin like tonight
Let it go,now the days gone,
Standing in the dark and we turn on the lights
Tonight we will deny
That time is passing by
It's leaving you and I too
freeze...
the moment,
its never been better
freeze...
all over
we won't last forever
you said that you're sorry
for pushing me, but then smiled when i opened my eyes
im gonna freeze the moment while we're together
Keep the peace
Bygones be gone
coming out the rain under the light that weve made
under here, were not so soft
forgiving the feelings that we put up the rain
Tonight we will deny
That time is passing by
It's leaving you and I too
freeze...
the moment,
its never been better
freeze...
all over
we won't last forever
you said that you're sorry
for pushing me, but then smiled when i opened my eyes
im gonna freeze the moment while we're together
Dont stop gotta know what you got
theres not second chances in life,
dont break it, gotta give what you take
when you....
freeze...
the moment,
its never been better
freeze...
all over
we won't last forever
freeze...
the moment,
its never been better
freeze...
all over
we won't last forever
you looked at me
with the truth in your eyes
and you said its okay you can go
i'm gonna
freeze...
this moment,
while we're together
freeze the moment.


5.shy boy

Are you a shy boy
Were in the door, I get a smile from a fly boy
He seen me before and makes his move like a fly boy
I'm sick and tired of them fly boys
It's bye bye boy
I'm in a lounge, I get a wink from a bad boy
He comes around all puffed up like a bad boy
I'm sick and tired of them bad boys
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind be a shy boy
So I gotta know
Are you a shy boy?
I'm by the stage, I get a look from a rock boy
He's got the shades on indoors like a rock boy
I'm sick and tired of them rock boys
It's bye bye boy
Out on the floor, I get the moves from a home boy
Trying to score, his body rocks like a home boy
I'm sick and tired of them home boys
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind be a shy boy
So I gotta know
Are you a shy boy?
Freak boy
Fresh boy
Slick boy
You're messing with a tom boy
Might just know you out like a school boy
Crude boy
Playboy
Cowboy
I heard it all before, boy
I'm going out to get me a shy boy
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind be a shy boy
So I gotta know
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind be a shy boy
So I gotta know
Are you a shy boy?
Shy boy
Shy boy
Shy boy
Shy boy


6.now you tell me

Is there anything that can make you happy?
I don't know what to say to make it better
Seeing you like this down and hurt so badly
when you have been so kept together
What's this
All this time I thought you didn't need me
Now I've gone from you and now you tell me
You're in love but that was not what it was
All those times that pass by
When those times and now you're telling me
You miss me boy I couldn't I see and my heart don't
agree with what you tell me
You were nonchalant, strong and unaffected
and you never wanted me to be there
I never saw your heart that's how close you kept it
So right now I'm so unsure how to care
What's this
All this time I thought you didn't need me
Now I've gone from you and now you tell me
You're in love but that was not what it was
All those times that pass by
When those times and now you're telling me
You miss me boy I couldn't I see and my heart don't
agree with what you tell me
You're in love but that was not what it was
All those times that pass by
When those times and now you're telling me
You miss me boy I couldn't I see and my heart don't
agree with what you tell me
No attention was given
no affection from you to heal the hurt
I was hoping
I was wishing just to listen and to hear those words.
You're in love but that was not what it was
All those times that pass by
When those times and now you're telling me
You miss me boy I couldn't I see and my heart don't
agree with what you tell me
You're in love but that was not what it was
All those times that pass by
When those times and now you're telling me
You miss me boy I couldn't I see and my heart don't
agree with what you tell me


7.next to you

Two o'clock and I wish that I was sleeping
You're in my head like a song on the radio
All I know is I gotta get next to you
Yeah I gotta get next to you


Sitting here turning minutes in the hours
To find the nerve just to call you on the telephone
Cuz you don't know that I gotta get next to you

*Maybe we're friends, maybe we're more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby, call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I, just gotta get next to you


Asked around and I heard that you were talking
Told my girl that you thought I was out of your league
What a fool, I gotta get next to you
Oh, yeah
It's five in the morning and I can't go to sleep
Cuz I wish, yeah I wish you knew what you mean to me
Baby, let's get together and end this mystery



Whatcha gotta say
Watcha gotta do
How you get the one you want
(To wanna get next to you
Watcha gotta say
Watcha gotta do
How you get the one you want
(To wanna get next to you

Watcha gotta say
Watcha gotta do
How you get the one you want
(To wanna get next to you
Watcha gotta say
Watcha gotta do
How you get the one you want
To wanna get next to you, yeah yeah
To wanna get next to you

Maybe we're friends, maybe we're more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder

So baby, call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
So baby, call me crazy
But I know you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I, just gotta get next to you

Oh, oh
Yeah
Oh, oh
Next to you
Oh, oh
Yeah
I gotta get next to you


8.just for the record

I can't help myself if I don't wanna be with nobody else
I don't wanna leave my baby's side
And I don't wanna kiss nobody else
And I'll pass any test 'cause nothing in this world or in the
next
Could make me second guess
Could make me change my mind
Could make me not protect what I'm feeling inside
Because I'm smart enough to know that this is a good thing
Please believe it, please believe it
And I'm smart enough to stay right where I belong
And I'm faithful enough to know that this is meant to be
And if it's not, then don't speak
Don't ruin it, let me dream
Hear me, hear me
This is for my baby
There will never be another
There's so many ways I love you
And that's just for the record babe
I need you, need you
I can't wait to see you
I so love when were together
Can't nobody do it better
And that's just for the record babe
I can't be perfect
No one is flawless
But rest in mind
I'll be there through the good and the bad and the ugly and
worse
So if it's something that you're lacking, go and tell me first
Because I'm smart enough to know that this is a good thing
Smart enough to stay right where I belong, oh, no, no, no
And I'm faithful enough to know that this is meant to be
And if it's not, then don't speak
Don't ruin it, let me dream
Hear me, hear me
This is for my baby
There will never be another
There's so many ways I love you
And that's just for the record babe
I need you, need you
I can't wait to see you
I so love when were together
Can't nobody do it better
And that's just for the record babe
So if there's any way to cheat
dont tell me cause I don't wanna know
And if there's any way to leave
don't tell me cause I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go to sleep 'cause I don't wanna miss you
This is my team and I love my position
Lead me anywhere, I'll go with you there
I'll go with you there
Hear me, hear me
This is for my baby
There will never be another
There's so many ways I love you
And that's just for the record babe
I need you, need you
I can't wait to see you
I so love when were together

9.permanent monday

Falling leaves like a blanket at my feet
There's a canopy of stars
And I just miss you like crazy
Suddenly the world's too big
And the hours move too slow
And I just wish that you were holding me near
Seven days, it feels like a year
You whisper through the line
You know I miss you like crazy
So baby can you steal a plane
A boat, the fastest train
You know it just don't feel the same when you're gone
'Cause everytime you go away
The sunshine starts to fade
Frozen by the hands of time into a
Permenant Monday
Take me back into your arms
And don't ever let me go
'Cause when I see you walk through that door
I'm not lost anymore
I'm home
I'm home
I won't sleep until you're finally next to me
Can't wait to breathe you in
Don't wanna waste my time dreaming
I just wanna treat your name like a whisper on my skin
And never have to say goodbye again
'Cause everytime you go away
The sunshine starts to fade
Frozen by the hands of time into a
Permenant Monday
Take me back into your arms
And don't ever let me go
'Cause when I see you walk through that door
I'm not lost anymore
I'm home
'Cause when I feel you right here close to me
Everything is where it's supposed to be, baby
'Cause everytime you go away
The sunshine starts to fade
Frozen by the hands of time into a
Permenant Monday
Take me back into your arms
And don't ever let me go
'Cause when I see you walk through that door
I'm not lost anymore
I'm home
I am home
Yes I am
And I miss you like crazy


10.young and in love

I didn't ask your opinion, whatcha talkin' 'bout?
Too quick to jump to conclusions, 'cause we're hangin' out
There ain't no issues, ain't no fuss
When it's just you and me, you and me
What makes you think that you can know me, babe?
What's gonna stick, what's gonna blow?
So let him know
Don't they know what it means
To be young and in love like that
Who are they to decide
If it's wrong, if it's right
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love
If people offer a ----
I can't remember the questions were ever asked
It's a free world lookin' down
But you don't bother me, bother me
One of those days when we're old
I'll stop and say, 'I told you so'
So let him know
Don't they know what it means
To be young and in love like that
Who are they to decide to decide
If it's wrong, if it's right
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love
It don't matter what they say
Too late to walk away
'Cause I need it much too strong
I've waited for someone to feel all the things that I feel
So I gotta hold on
So let him know
Don't they know what it means
To be young and in love like that
Who are they to decide to decide
If it's wrong, if it's right
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love like that
Like that, like that
Like that, like that
To be young and in love like that


11.see my side

I've been trying for days to think of a way
To find the words to make sense of how we behave
This might take a while
so please just hear me out
You know how things can get crazy when we go ablaze
We just get carried away
Believe me, I know
Don't even say a word
now please just hear me out
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better
Sometimes the stunts that we pull don't even make sense
But I was never the one to feel the resent
This ain't 'bout who's to blame
so please just hear me out
When the scene gets intense
it's hard to prevent
From going all crazy again
Believe me, I know
Don't even say a word
now please just hear me out
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better
We'll get right back
On the right track
We'll get right back on
We'll get right back on
On the right track
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better


12.god loves ugly

You said that I wasn't pretty
so I just believed you
You said that I wasn't special
so I lived that way
with critical gazes and brutal amazement
at how my reflection could be so imperfect
with all of my blemishes
how could somebody want me
But God loves ugly
He doesn't see the way I see
oh, God takes ugly
and turns it into something that is beautiful
apparently I'm beautiful
cause You love me
I tried to clean up the outside
all shiny and new
worked overtime to thin up and look right
but inside I knew
that deep in the bottom were secrets I thought I could try to
ignore
old ghosts in my corridors never get tired of haunting the past
that's in me
But God loves ugly
He doesn't see the way I see
oh, God takes ugly
and turns it into something that is beautiful
apparently I'm beautiful
cause You love me
help me believe why you love me
when I know you see
you see everything
help me believe why you love me
when I know you see inside and you still say I'm beautiful
you're telling me I'm beautiful
you're screaming out, so beautiful
and I'm finding out I'm beautiful
you're making me so beautiful
and I can see I'm beautiful
'cause you love me


13.worth the wait (bonus track)

Ooh
I feel what I've been feeling for you
Means I am falling for you
Something's opened up inside of me
And I dream
In shades that only can be
The colors of you and me
I think we both know what that means
I stand inside this promise I made to myself
That I was meant for you

If I fall
If I break
If I lose myself in someone
If I give all I am it'll be with you
When I'm ready to take
All that you want me to give
It will be worth the wait
Worth the wait
It will be worth the wait

My heart
I wanna save it for you
Don't want it broken into pieces
I need myself to be whole
And could we just sit and talk a while
Just wanna see you smile
Feel your sunlight
Shining over me

If I fall
If I break
If I lose myself in someone
If I give all I am it'll be with you
When I'm ready to take
All that you want me to give
It will be worth the wait
Worth the wait

Worth all the long nights dreaming of forever
Someday we will be together
I know it will have been so worth the wait
Ooh
Please wait for me

If I fall
If I break
If I lose myself in someone
If I give all I am it'll be with you
When I'm ready to take
All that you want me to give
It will be worth the wait
Worth the wait
It will have been so worth the wait, yeah
I will be worth the wait


14.this is my now

There was a time I packed my dreams away.
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid.
I thought I'd reached the end,
Baby that was then
I am made of more than my yesterdays.
This is my now,
and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me,
gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.
Had to decide
was I going to play it safe
or look somewhere deep inside
try to turn the tide
and find the strength to take that step of faith
This is my now,
and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me,
gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.
And I have the courage like never before, yeah.
I've settled for less
but I'm ready for more,
Ready for more.
This is my now.
I am living in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me,
gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.
am breathing in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me,
gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.
This is my now.
