Not Fair 01:48
Love gives you wings so you can learn to fly so watch out dear 'cause you may fall and possibly die. That can't be right 'cause Love kills and life's not fair. Love makes you do stupid things, and you don't even care, well I do. You're not coming back and I can tell you why: you haven't even called or stopped by to say "Hi". Love kills and life's not fair. Even if happiness exists I am nowhere near to being there, but you are. Love kills and life's not fair. I don't want to die alone 'cause I want you to be there when I do.

I don't understand your actions. I don't understand why you have to put me down. Do you honestly think I will give into you? I've been there once and I almost drowned. You don't care about my freedom. You don't even care about how I feel inside. All you know is you can rhyme my name with things. You just hunt me down and shoot my pride. I'll tell you something, my dear, you had me think you weren't what you appeared. You twisted my mind until I wanted to be someone who hates me. I'm not what you think I'm made of. I am not as small as you make me out to be. I'm bigger than you and you know it. It's killing you so you're killing me. I'll tell you something, my dear, your dumb charade isn't something I fear. I'm stronger than you emotionally. You cannot break me. I've dealt with you for years. Now it's time to face my fears. I'm tired of crying. I'm tired of your lying. I'll tell you something, my dear, I'm standing up 'cause I don't want to hear your lousy lying 'cause honestly without you I'm happy. I'll tell you something, my dear, you had me think you weren't what you appeared. I'm stronger than you emotionally. Without you I'm happy. You cannot break me. You're just someone who hates me.

I think you look great all the time. Something about you always gives me butterflies. You tend to take my breath away. You're just the kind of guy I'd love to spend all day with. I have to get this off my chest, out of the whole wide world I think that you're the best. I love that I can make you smile. And when you look at me time freezes for a while. You make my heart skip a beat, see you and I can hardly speak. And boy you're always on my mind I think about you all the time. I love the silly puns you say. But then again I love you in every single way. I always want to hold your hand. You're so attractive that I cannot even stand it. It's like you're something from a dream, a dream so good that I can't sleep. You seem too good to be true, can't keep my eyes off of you. Can't think of anything else clever, but I wish that I could be with you for, like, ever. And one more thing before I go, my dear, I love you more than you will ever know.

1984 02:30
He was just a sad man rewriting the past double plus afraid of rats He hated society just wanted to be free in a fair Democracy But this was 1984 Oceania was at war with Eastasia or Eurasia no one quite knows which but they all know that Goldstein's a bad guy Then he met a stranger At times he hated her then he wanted to mate with her They were totes rebellious and joined a group against Big Brother and the rest But this was 1984 Your old guy friend has busted down your hideout door Big Brother and the telescreens know just what you've done so welcome Winston to Room 101 But this is 1984 get those rats away from him he don't love her anymore 2+2=4, no wait it equals 5 He realizes who he loves and dies

Young 02:11
Hold me near close to you dear. Cheek to cheek. You complete me. The night is young still. The night is young, and so are we. I am blue without you. I can't sleep without your arms around me. You are my dream, boy. You are my dream I'd like to keep. Day and night, been crossing my mind. Your charm and the way you hold me tight. I can't live without that every night. Be with me and don't you leave. Stick around until I'm buried underground. I want your love, you see. I want your love to be for me.

I'm In Love 02:41
When I first saw your face I could tell you'd have a place in my arms. When you spoke my heart did melt. I wasn't sure just how I felt and then you smiled. My knees are growing weaker, my tongue is swelling up. I know it might be early but while we're on the subject I'm in love! Twas no surprise when we first kissed. Let's be real, we could not resist each other's charm. Our lips were getting closer, our hands were holding tight. I wish that we were married so we could cuddle all the time. I'm in love! You make my stomach flutter, you make my soul fly free. I never thought I'd love you, but now I am so utterly in love. When I first saw your face I'll love you and forever. I don't want this to end. The thought it makes me shiver, but then dear I remember I'm in love!

I'm sorry that your expectations were to high. I'm sorry but with demands like that I can't comply. I'm an imperfect human being. So sue me. I'm sorry that your contradictions threw me off. I'm sorry but as for words I'm at a loss. What makes you think you're so special? That's mental. Tell me how can you live like this knowing full well what you did? Tell me now that you've hurt me bad why should I ever forgive? I'm sorry I wasn't present when you needed help. I'm sorry but boy I cannot even help myself. I guess lousy's the word to describe me. That's funny! Tell me how can you live like this knowing full well what you did? Tell me now that you've hurt me bad why should I ever forgive? Don't make yourself out as the victim. Fool me once but repeatedly trick them. You've won their hearts but broken mine. Your fools gold ain't worth a dime. Tell me how can you live like this knowing full well what you did? Tell me now that you've hurt me bad why should I ever forgive? Tell me how can you live like this knowing full well what you did? Tell me now that you've hurt me bad why should I ever forgive? Tell me now that you've hurt me bad why should I ever forgive?

I once was told to be strong. I once was told to keep my chin up. I once was told to move on. I once was told to try and cheer up. But they were wrong. They were wrong. I once was told I'd be fine. I once was told that I could do it. I once was told things take time. I once was told that I'd get through it. That was a lie. A big lie. You don't know what you're talking about. You don't know my pain. You have no clue how I'm feeling right now. You and I, we're not the same. I am so tired of being strong. I have no strength to keep my chin up. It's hard to want to live on. It hurts so much can't help but tear up. I've been sad for too long.

Tell Lindsey 04:03
I'm gonna sit here for a while and think about how things used to be. I'll let my mind wander for miles 'til I've found a familiar place for me. I don't know where on earth I'm going, or what I'll do when I finally know. There is no sign that is showing where in the blazes I should go. Tell Lindsey that I can't come home. Tell Lindsey I am far too gone. As far back as I can remember she was the one who kept me sane. But when she left back in December I might as well have lost my brain. Tell Lindsey I have lost my way. Tell Lindsey that she should have stayed. I didn't think that I could do it, couldn't make it through the night, but I think that I'll get through it. Everything will be alright. I'm gonna sit here for a while, think about how things are gonna be. Tell Lindsey I will be just fine. Tell Lindsey I finally see the light. Tell Lindsey I will be okay. Tell Lindsey I am on my way.

Coco Chanel that handbag you gave me, I read the card it said "To My Baby" You know my taste and you know my style. You know my shoe size and my favorite aisle. You treat me nicer than boys ever have. You buy me things when I didn't ask. You pull me close and squeeze me like you do. But I'm not sure if I'm ready to love you. You've got a type of class I've never seen, Your face, your voice, your laugh, you're something from a dream. You treat me nicer than boys ever have. You buy me things when I didn't ask. You pull me close and squeeze me like you do. But I'm not sure if I'm ready to love you. Wise men say you can't buy me love I guess they never met you. You may think that you're not enough but Baby, all I need is you. You treat me nicer than boys ever have. You buy me things when I didn't ask. You pull me close and squeeze me like you do. But I'm not sure if I'm ready to love you. You treat me nicer than boys ever have. You buy me things when I didn't ask. You pull me close and squeeze me like you do. But I'm not sure if I'm ready to love you.

(Original lyrics) Times are getting hard with every passing hour. My mind is running wild with thoughts of us together. And oh, what now? I'm never one to fight I'm always one to tremble. But I cannot back down for I fear I'll disassemble your heart. Will I wait for you? Will I promise to be true for all time? Will I never let you go and tell you more than before I love you? I cannot read your mind so I guess you'll have to tell me, am I just flying blind or are we really something? Let's hope we are. Will I wait for you? Will I promise to be true for all time? Will I never let you go and tell you more than before I love you? I know I'm not perfect, at least not like you. But I know, you're so worth it and I hope you know too. Times are getting hard but I know we can do it. Alone we're not that strong but together we'll get through it. I know. Oh, I will wait for you. And I promise to be true for all time. I will never let you go, I'll tell you more than before I love you.
