It Was Alright

You make me feel alive when I think of you
This whole thing was a little duller before you
And I don’t think I could ever stand to be without you girl
I’d lose my mind, as sure as can be
It was my fault
That you ever loved me
No good could come
From any of it
But I knew I had
To have you the first time
I saw you
I saw you
And it was alright
It was alright
I don’t know what to say
I guess that you’re stuck with me
But I guess I’m hoping that that’s not so bad
Because we both know
That it never seemed all that likely now
That this would end up amounting to much
It was my fault
That you ever loved me
No good could come
From any of it
But I knew I had
To have you the first time
I saw you
I saw you
And it was alright
It was alright

I Love You Baby

I love you baby
But I really need to know
Is this the real thing
Or do you think that I
Should let it go?
‘Cause I couldn’t stand it if
I get too attached and then you
Leave me here all alone
If you need me I’m there
Anything for you
Tell me darling
Does it matter?
Or is my time worth a damn?
Cause I need you
Yeah I need you
I love you baby
But I really need to know
Is this the real thing
Or do you think that I
Should let it go?
‘Cause I couldn’t stand it if
I get too attached and then you
Leave me here all alone
It's enough to make you crazy
It's enough to make you lose your mind
Feeling fine
Feeling fine
I love you baby
But I really need to know
Is this the real thing
Or do you think that I
Should let it go?

It Is Gone

Let it go
It doesn't need to occupy your mind
It’s alright
Just come with me
And we’ll lose track of time
And it won’t be long
It won’t be long
It won’t be long
Until it’s gone
Some days you are muddy water
And my throat’s parched and dry
Others, I don't mind that you are keeping me alive
And it won’t be long
It won’t be long
It won’t be long
Until it’s gone
Let it go
You’re more than just the sum of past mistakes
It will be alright
I know that you will find your place

It’s not so hard to tell
I’ve been unhappy lately
Ever since I saw your face again
And I shouldn’t even
Say your name
But I can’t help myself
I’ve moved on my darling
Don’t you pity me now
Because
You don’t owe me anything
Oh, you don’t owe me anything
I used to think you were my destiny
But I was younger then
And now I know the truth
It doesn’t matter
Who we end up with
As long as it’s somebody
Someone who will keep you warm at night
And I have that
So now
You don’t owe me anything
Oh, you don’t owe me anything

Through The Night

I lost my heart
You night you left
And I’ve not found a shred of it yet
But I’ll survive
I’ll be alright
If I can just make it through the night
Oh, if I can just make it through the night
Remember when
You’d sing to me
And it felt like I could finally breath
But my breath is gone
And I just can’t fight
Yeah I don’t know if I’ll make it through the night
Oh, if I can just make it through the night
I don’t know
Just when it all went wrong
But I can’t seem to shake this
Feeling any longer
And every year
The same old song
When the days get short
The nights get so long
And I start to feel
Like I could die
But I know that I’ll make it through the night
Oh, if I can just make it through the night
