Don't look up to me Finding the worst company in every unexpected scene Don't look up to me It's always bottles and bottles and wannabe models But still you went and Showed up to my sister's birthday with my momma's favorite wine Don't know how it happened, don't know what I'm s'posed to feel this time Feel this time Can we keep it real this time? I'm changing scenes Don't look up to me Holding my face with her fingers retracing each melody I don't know what she sees When I can't remember these wannabe tinders, But still you went and Showed up to my sister's birthday with my momma's favorite wine Don't know how it happened, don't know what I'm s'posed to feel this time Feel this time Let's both keep it real this time? I'm changing scenes Don't know what it means, don't know what it means But I'm changing scenes Don't know what to think, I don't know what to think But I'm changing scenes Don't look up to me I'm trying to find the man that I wanna be I'm trying to find the words That I wanna speak But who I am's in every single Part of me Wear my heart on my sleeve like it martyrs me Yo Quick indecision moronic like oxy You're sleeping on Sleepless you know you can't stop me I called her my dame, didn't stay for the doxy Goddamn it's a shame, made way for the proxy And now I can't breathe And now I can't sleep And now She's going to leave Cause I'm not What she needs So Sippin champagne really brought all the pain Except I wasn't sipping you know what I'm sayin I kept on forgetting the blame I was taking I've got to do better, these lanes I am changing I'm changing scenes Don't know what it means, don't know what it means But I'm changing scenes Don't know what to think, I don't know what to think But I'm changing scenes Don't look up to me I get head like a guillotine But you're seeing the only "good side", I think Pro'lly wrong, but I know that society Watch me crash with no help from the hell I bring But you helpin' me see a thing How these patterns don't linger I'll play R&B singer If you want her don't bring her Got that thing in the wringer Used to swim through the trenches of hoes in my mentions Get all the attention, but you never listened And now intervention Having snuck through defenses, I'm left here defenseless And you 'bout business of helping me witness 'Bout all of what this was 'Cuz all of what this was was nothing but bullshit Nothing but bullshit, and I tried to push it But you went right through it to get everything that you get And I... Yeah, my heart's in it You played a big part in it There ain't no disregarding it You went really far just to see me escape And I'm honored, but Now the seasons have changed, and no, I'm not the same Don't you call my bluff Don't you call my bluff

Te Encontré 04:09
Solo quiero conocerte mas y mas La gente no me importa, gente no me importa Siento como en el cielo cuando dice te quiero Cuando dice te quiero Porque estoy tan feliz que te encontré, mi amor Porque estoy tan feliz que me encontraste, mi amor Tus labios quiero besar despacio por debajo Gritas por mi toque, gritas por mi toque Quiero, quiero darte todo Me tendrás para siempre, tendrás para siempre Porque estoy tan feliz que te encontré, mi amor Porque estoy tan feliz que me encontraste, mi amor Y ya tu sabes el mundo puede ser tan frio Pero cuando te abrazo, todo esta claro Te necesito al lado de mi Al lado de mi Porque estoy tan feliz que te encontré, mi amor Porque estoy tan feliz que me encontraste, mi amor

Mystery 04:10
I look around this whole dark room And you're the only thing illuminated I can't tell you what I discussed I won't tell you how long I waited You give me all your low-key lust I just want a high-key lady I can't resist your sweetest touch And still you remain A mystery, a mystery, a mystery You are A mystery, a mystery, a mystery You are I tell myself you're not the one I try to make myself believe it But every time I head back home I know you're the only one I needed I'll go 'head and give you a call You gon' act like you don't even hear it So I'll sit here and hold my heart And wonder why you stay A mystery, a mystery, a mystery You are A mystery, a mystery, a mystery You are I can't keep doing this to myself, but I don't want nobody else I can't keep doing this to myself, but I don't want nobody else I can't keep doing this to myself, but I don't want nobody else I can't keep doing this to myself, but I don't want nobody else The lies, the lust, the pain, the trust It's all we have inside of us I'm desperate for another path Trying to find a love that lasts Even now, you've broken down my pride I'm laying right here by your side Can't get away from what we have When it's hurting me so bad But I don't want Nobody No, I don't want Nobody I'm drunk out on this airport floor I thank the guy who bought my whiskey I'm thinking 'bout the time we spent And wondering why you won't stay with me I give you everything that I have And you feel like I can't commit How long's it gonna take before I look you in your eyes and you're not A mystery, a mystery, a mystery You are ... matter what I do, I'll still never understand you It doesn't matter what I do, I'll still never understand you It doesn't matter what I do...

I never knew a pain like when you hurt me So I refused to let you have of what's left I know you had a mission just to do me dirty But that's when you thought there there could be someone else You broke the throne and cut my hair So deep within your eyes I stared I saw you want me with your whole heart Now I gotta wonder if I'm goin' crazy My chest inside feels so heavy Has she earned all my mercy from the start? Could this be love? What is this thing I'm feeling You got my heart revealing all Ooo girl, you gotta be a demon 'Cuz somehow you're all I wanna hold Remember that time you said you hate me? Well, it's really hard for me to hear something else You never had to do much to persuade me I can't invalidate the things always felt You're the answer to my life's question My mourning and my rising sin Without you, I don't wanna even try But you make me feel like I'm crazy My chest inside feels so heavy I wanna really keep this thing alive Could this be love? What is this thing I'm feeling You got my heart revealing all Ooo girl, you gotta be a demon 'Cuz somehow you're all I wanna hold Uh I ain’t never felt like this before you Something bout you just makes me adore you I ain’t really sure what it is, but You could be my wife and we could have kids Sorry if that’s jumpin too far ahead I’m just writin’ down the thoughts that’s goin’ through my head Yeah But let me slow down I’m just sayin’ that I hate it when you not around You make me feel like I ain’t never felt So I wanna show you things that you never seen Girl, yo’ love a drug and I’m feelin’ like a fiend These feelings really got me questioning, yeah Are you an angel or a demon? I don’t know, yeah I just know that you the one I wanna hold, yeah Let me hold you tight Let me hold you tight, girl Could this be love? What is this thing I'm feeling You got my heart revealing all Ooo girl, you gotta be a demon 'Cuz somehow you're all I wanna hold

Montevallo 04:44
We were both connected when your eyes caught mine My heart losing all its protection on that 8th glass of wine We were both cheated, we knew we were wrong But with every kiss of your lips, the temptation was far too strong Left in our messes, I'm trying to hold on But I can't seem to hold onto Montevallo You were good to me Montevallo There's so much more of you to see The only eclipse that ever mattered was the one where I gave you my heart Can we go back to the start, Montevallo? We were just mirrors reflecting ourselves The glass in us shattered to pieces with me holding what's left I gave it my best, but I could've been wrong Sometimes I just feel like you drug me along But I know I'm free from your misery Still I come running But I can't seem to catch up to Montevallo You were good to me Montevallo There's so much more of you to see The only eclipse that ever mattered was the one where I gave you my heart Can we go back to the start, Montevallo? Laid in mama's arms is where you can find me Pour more jagerbombs I don't need reminding I know what it feels like to be hated for nothing that's in your control They just let you go Despite what I know I still try to hold on But I can't seem to hold onto Montevallo You're no good for me Montevallo There's so much more I'll never see The only eclipse that ever mattered is the one where I lost my heart We'll never get back to the start Montevallo

I'm sorry that you feel this way But I'll try my best to make you feel comfortable Comfortable I never thought you'd have a place in my mind Until that time we talked 'til sunrise I was lost in your eyes Too close for comfort can't be good So I push you away like I think I should Like you knew I would I don't mean to disappoint you, but I like where we are right now We're so very much the same But so on a different page You know, I may not feel the same But I do... I still think of you I still think of you Here's this song that I do When I think of you

Ships 07:54
Ships docked in harbor, sailing into sea I sometimes wonder if that's you and me We tried and tried for it, but we just couldn't meet Right there in the middle Oh... Why, oh why can't we ever be okay? The lies and the fights always getting in the way Why, oh why must it always end this way, Like it's just another day? Just another day Ships docked in harbor, sailing into sea I always wonder if that's you and me I gave her all my love, and you waited for me By the time I was ready, oh, you left me to weep So I have to wonder Why, oh why can't we ever be okay? The lies and the fights always getting in the way Why, oh why is it happening this way? Guess it's just another day Just another day Sailing out to sea at different times You know I tried to catch you You know I tried to catch you Sailing out to sea at different times You know I tried to catch you You know I tried to catch you Sailing out to sea at different times You know I tried to catch you You know I tried to catch you Sailing out to sea at different times You know I tried to catch you You know I tried to catch you
