Instrument 03:59
Instrument Our love had the perfect melody a beautiful song stuck on repeat you twisted my words to match the beat But I didn’t see, see, oh Thought you were gonna be the one to keep me safe, yeah but I never really knew the price I’d have to pay, yeah you took all I had for your own gain this ain’t a love song, it’s just your game I don’t wanna be your instrument No, I’m not meant for this oh so stop pretending you’re innocent you’re never gonna play me again ohhh  ohhh ohhh i’m not your instrument ohhh ohhh oo you’ll never play me again And now that you’re gone I’m finally free And I’m not gonna let you pull the strings i’m using the voice you tried to keep away from me, me, oh And I see all the ways you tried to push me so low but I’m done with that n babe i’m goin solo you took all I had for your own gain I’m through with love songs and stupid games I don’t wanna be your instrument No, I’m not meant for this oh so stop pretending you’re innocent you’re never gonna play me again ohhh  ohhh ohhh i’m not your instrument ohhh ohhh oo you’ll never play me again And you can fool Everybody else But you know that deep down you can't fool yourself I'm walking out You're on your own And You can play with yourself all alone

Breathe 03:54
Breathe Maybe we never started, you just caught my heart from the very start. Maybe we're meant to be alone life can feel so cold when we are apart You make me cry, when I'm happiest, and smile, through the hardest times don't leave me alone when you're not there, I feel your presence weather you are around you are my home you make me breathe under water, freeze, when it's warmer you make me feel alive but you can make me wanna die Can't you figure this out cuz I could be the one, Don't you believe in this love, You make me breathe You said you'd never been in love waiting for your turn well baby my heart yearns to show I feel and if, you can't let me in, I deserve much more much more than you can give you've opened up my eyes to everything I kept inside to everything I used to drown you let me let it out I feel i'm falling more but you're still keeping up your walls I never heard a silence feel so loud

I’m Not Giving Up I won’t say that I’m afraid, take my word for it. Name your price, on my words You’ll take ‘em all for what they’re worth. And with all of your sand, I’m gonna make it Make it to glass, but not for you to break it Woah, woah I’m not giving up today Woah, woah I’m not giving up today. I’m not forgetting all the hurt, take my word for it. Seeing through all your disguises I’ve finally found a way around it. And with all of your sand, I’m gonna make it Make it to glass, but not for you to break it Woah, woah I’m not giving up today Woah, woah I’m not giving up today. And I’m headed for disrepair, Oh and I’m halfway there. And with all of your sand, I’m gonna make it Make it to glass, but not for you to break it Woah, woah I’m not giving up today Woah, woah

Wonderland 03:48
Wonderland I woke up without a friend I still see your silhouette frost on the mirror’s edge We’re a shadow in the light clutching to empty words we said hmmmm Can we rewind Let's play pretend that we never felt the walls caving in baby can we breathe the love back into wonderland find the stuff that made you want to spend your life with me wish I could bring us back to early mornings, waking to your eyes falling slowly, back into the night just take my hand Back to wonderland I still see love in your eyes Your touch is still all that makes sense diffusing my defence our love, can we bring it back to your touch, can we bring it back to your smile, can we bring it back to

Weak 04:09
Weak It’s hard to smile at my reflection, when I wake up, I wonder why all I see, are the imperfections. All the proof that i’m not alright. Oh and I confess that none of this makes sense, A new struggle everyday, ohhh But I know sometimes, we gotta be lost to find, to find our way don’t be afraid Even the strong cry, when no one’s looking we try not to be scared on the outside, but I know that there’s strength from the fall, it’s not weak, to be weak at all. behind these eyes, a world is hiding where I feel safe, but so alone all these scars, they keep me fighting for a place I can call my own Oh and I confess that none of this makes sense, A new struggle everyday, ohhh But I know sometimes, we gotta be lost to find, to find our way don’t be afraid Even the strong cry, when no one’s looking we try not to be scared on the outside, but I know that there’s strength from the fall, it’s not weak, to be weak at all.
