GAME 03:38
It must have been easy For you to get your way I must have been crazy to let you Walk all over me You know I don’t care What you gotta say to my face But don’t go talk behind my back yeah When you’re talking is fake No one ever taught me how to see myself in a different light No one ever told me I had to love myself to get it right You can play it how you wanna Try to get in my brain Go ahead and use me baby I‘m gonna beat you at your own game I‘m not a fighter I’d rather just take the pain But now I‘m getting so much wiser I‘m gonna beat you at your own game You think I don’t know What you’re all about yeah You crave the control You can’t live without it No one ever taught you how to see yourself in a different light No one ever told you ya gotta love yourself to make it right You can play it how you wanna Try to get in my brain Go ahead and use me baby I‘m gonna beat you at your own game I‘m not a fighter I’d rather just take the pain But now I‘m getting so much wiser I‘m gonna beat you at your own game Come out and play come out Ready whenever you are baby Come out and play come out I’m gonna beat you at your own game You can play it how you wanna Try to get in my brain Go ahead and use me baby I‘m gonna beat you at your own game I’m not a fighter I’d rather just take the pain But now I‘m getting so much wiser I‘m gonna beat you at your own game Come out and play come out Ready whenever you are baby Come out and play come out I’m gonna beat you at your own game

FANTASY 02:50
Running, running, my mind it can’t stop running. Always looking for something that ain’t coming. Sometimes I don’t even know what’s real and what’s not, yeah. Always looking for something that ain’t coming. It was just a fantasy. It was just a fantasy. And I get myself in trouble, cause I don’t know what real love is. It was just a fantasy. Awake or sleeping, my mind it’s always dreaming. Always chasing after the high I’m feeling. I’ve convinced myself of things that are not real, yeah. Always chasing after the high I’m feeling. It was just a fantasy. It was just a fantasy. And I get myself in trouble, cause I don’t know what real love is. It was just a fantasy. Awake or sleeping, my mind it’s always dreaming.

LYING 03:28
Sometimes you gotta make the biggest mistake to get to where you need to go Sometimes you gotta travel miles away to realize you need to grow Iʼve been dying and dying to get myself out this place Iʼve been trying and trying to right the wrongs that I made People just donʼt wake up unhappy one day Itʼs something that happens over time I would be lying to you If I said I was still in love too Cause Iʼd rather be in bed alone Than lying next to you Sometimes you gotta realize you are the same as the ones who raised you were Gotta ask yourself are you gonna go or stay admit that itʼs over Iʼve been dying and dying to get myself out this place Iʼve been trying and trying to right the wrongs that I made I didn't just wake up wanting to hurt you one day It was something I did to feel alive I would be lying to you If I said I was still in love too Cause Iʼd rather be in bed alone Than lying next to you I, I would be lying I would be lying I would be lying Lying next to you I would be lying to you If I said I was still in love too Cause Iʼd rather be in bed alone Than lying next to you I, I would be lying I would be lying I would be lying Lying next to you

VILLAIN 03:08
So sick of people pointing fingers where they shouldnʼt be. Lying lips whispering what you should believe. Suspicious eyes wandering everywhere I see. I can feel it coming, coming to get me. Iʼll be the villain in your story if you need one, but donʼt forget that I am human I still bleed some. You couldnʼt be more wrong about the things that Iʼve done, but Iʼll be the villain in your story if you need one, need one. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. There ainʼt no one to take the fire. There ainʼt no way to clear my name. Iʼll play the part and take the blame. How do you sleep at night? How do you sleep at night? Laying there knowing everythingʼs a fucking lie. How do you sleep at night? How do you sleep at night? Laying there knowing everything is a fucking lie Iʼll be the villain in your story if you need one, but donʼt forget that I am human I still bleed some. You couldnʼt be more wrong about the things that Iʼve done, but Iʼll be the villain in your story if you need one, need one. I know my crimes, I know my sins. I see it all for what it is. You think what you want to believe. I know the truth will set me free. Iʼll be the villain in your story if you need one, but donʼt forget that I am human I still bleed some. You couldnʼt be more wrong about the things that Iʼve done, but Iʼll be the villain in your story if you need one, need one. You think what you want to believe. I know the truth will set me free.

QUIT IT! 2.0 02:58
I woke up without you, my heart was beating fast. Wonder where you are, I knew this wouldn’t last. And I can’t get you back even if I try to make up and deny it. And you think I’m a fool, but I see right through, and I’m not gonna buy it. Drive up to my house, but I don’t if I’ll let you in, until I’m ready to go again. And I can’t get you back even if I try to make up and deny it. And you think I’m a fool, but I see right through, and I’m not gonna buy it. I can’t quit you. You know it’s killing me that baby you’re no good for me. I can’t quit you. ‘Cause every time you leave I feel like I can barely breathe. I can’t quit you. You got me running around chasing down a memory. You’re no good for me and I’m no good for you, but it’s the danger that keeps pulling me right back to you. I can’t quit it, I can’t quit it yeah, I can’t quit it, quit it, I can’t quit it yeah. I can’t quit it, I can’t quit it yeah, I can’t quit it, quit it, I can’t quit it yeah. I can’t quit you.

SHADOW 03:01
I canʼt go to sleep when I close my eyes. 'cause I know youʼre waiting in my dreams at night. Canʼt let go of this, even if I try 'cause I left you waiting, I left you behind. Your shadowʼs so far away. I see you right in front of me, I know, I canʼt let you go. Shadow Shadow Shadow Your shadowʼs so far away I canʼt escape it, I know, it's everywhere that I go. Yeah I can feel it follow, Thereʼs no use in running anymore. Never be like it was before. I see you right in front of me. Youʼre just too far outta reach. I see you right in front of me. Youʼre just too far. Your shadowʼs so far away. I see you right in front of me, I know, I canʼt let you go. Your shadowʼs so far away. I see you right in front of me, I know, I canʼt let you go. Shadow Shadow Shadow Your shadowʼs so far away

LET YOU GO 03:51
How did I not see it? When itʼs so obvious Everything I did always leads right back to this Cause Iʼve been spending time with ghosts living in my head Been feelin' like I died the day you did. but now I wanna live Trying to make sense of it all As the clouds move down below High up, hoping I donʼt fall I canʼt live unless I let you go Let you go Now Iʼm in the sky flying away from the mess I made I donʼt like the person Iʼve become, no way The person I am today I didnʼt realize I was broken Trying to make sense of it all As the clouds move down below High up, hoping I donʼt fall I canʼt live unless I let you go Let you go All this time I let this define who Iʼve grown to be, who I am inside Not this time I choose to define who I grow to be, who I am inside Trying to make sense of it all As the clouds move down below High up, hoping I donʼt fall I canʼt live unless I let you go Let you go All this time I let this define who Iʼve grown to be, who I am inside Not this time I choose to define who I grow to be, who I am inside
