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
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
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
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.
