Help!

Verse 1
Can someone help me?
Is that too much to ask for?
I cause no trouble, I bring no harm
I am respectful
When I'm told to leave, I go
My cries for help go unheard
To save my life, I will have to change
But I don't know how

Verse 2
I beg and plead for any kind of assistance
I try to do my best where my life is concerned
I have learned from most of my mistakes
But that doesn't mean I can do everything on my own
I need guidance
I deserve one more chance

Bridge
I'm shouting from the rooftops, at the top of my lungs
No attention is paid to me
I feel like I'm invisible
Someone out there can help me
I'm sure of it
Help me, please
I'm already on my knees
I'm certainly worth the effort

Chorus
I need someone who is willing to help me
I'm just trying to do the right thing
I'm racing against time
But there are clocks without hands
And what happens next is everything

Accidental Superhero

Verse 1
You held me while I was n-a-k-e-d
That's when I was most vulnerable
I felt the coldness of modern society
You warmed me up with love and understanding
You shielded me from ridicule and judgement
You never once left me all alone
My fears were soothed, my tears wiped away
I depended on you to survive
I depended on you to be my guiding light

Verse 2
I thought about being six feet under
I thought of an easy way out of my pain
But you gave me the will to continue to live
Now I know what joy and happiness are

Verse 3
How can I thank you for supporting me?
How can I repay you for your gratitude?
Words are never enough, neither is money
I'll let my actions speak for themselves

Bridge
Death was within reach
Life was becoming extinct
I did not know who I was
Somehow in between the chaos and confusion
You became my superhero

Chorus
You're my accidental superhero
You never set out to be one
But you turned into one when I needed you the most
You saved my life time and time again
No words can express the love I have for you

Outro
Superhero, that's what you are to me
Thank you

A Kiss To Remember

Verse 1
It was a kiss to remember
Lips were soft, the time was right
There was no point in denying our feelings
It was obvious we had chemistry
Sparks flew, my heart beated faster
The moment was perfect
I'm able to recapture the essence of it
In many ways it felt more than a kiss

Verse 2
When I think if the kiss, I begin to smile
It was pleasant
The blissful moment continues to be with me
After all these years it feels even more real
It can never be imitated
Like many things, it was unique
I don't have to turn back time to experience it
The kiss is planted in my mind

Bridge
There wasn't a single interruption
It's like time stood still for that brief moment
I'm sure the kiss was meant to be
Now it lives on in me

Chorus
It was a kiss to remember
It was hot and spicy
Our breaths smelled so good
I will never forget the perfect moment
It was simply beautiful

Showdown

Verse 1
This is a showdown
I may be in the face of danger
Oddly enough, I'm not afraid
I know you have a problem with me
And you just said it to my face
It dealt with my race

Verse 2
This could be my basic nightmare
I have to make split decisions
I must know what I'm going to do next
In this situation, time is of the essence
I just can't run and hide

Bridge 1
It's a showdown
I'm going head to head with someone I don't like
And who hates me
All because of the colour of my skin
May the best man win
Ready, set, go!

Chorus 1
Showdown - this is a big event
I will stand up for what I believe in
You will get a piece of my mind
No one will stop me from giving it to you
Showdown - things are unpredictable
You always have to be on your feet
I know when to back down
And when to step up to the plate

Chorus 2
Showdown - I know I can win this
I'm smart and strong enough
Showdown - it's not to be taken lightly
I know who my opponent is
Let's begin!

Underneath I'm Different

Verse 1
My eyes are windows to my hidden soul
They are like two doorways to my mind
I look into the unknown
Then I discover information that I could not find
I'm different from many people
Occasionally I feel like I don't belong
Nobody knows who I truly am
On the outside, I'm plain and simple

Verse 2
Love is meant to be felt
From the heart so deep and true
I don't give myself enough of it
My self-esteem takes a hit
If stars are meant to be wished upon
I could make my dreams come true
I'd stay up every night
Search for ones that are bright
Hopefully I'll find my guiding light

Bridge
I would be like a kite and go on a flight
Forgetting about my strife is always nice
But I must live in the present
Try my best not to stand out
It's not going to be easy
I'm aware of that
But how am I suppose to live my life?
I always have to be cautious of who I am
I must be strong, I must be brave
That is key to my survival

Chorus
Underneath I'm different
I finally realized it
But I don't want to be this way
Changing who I am may be impossible
But that won't stop me from trying to be the same as others

Obsessed

Verse 1
You were once content living a simple life
But things are complicated now
The ones who claimed to be your friends are gone
They didn't stay for long
I watch your life unravel before my eyes
I'm becoming more intrigued
I pay attention to everything you do
To everything you say

Verse 2
I just cannot get enough of you
I have to see you every day
And when I get the chance to
It's hard for me to turn away
It's not easy for me to know that you're alone
No one's there for yo when you're scared
No one's there when you're confused

Chorus 1
I must admit that I'm obsessed with you
I can't think of anything else to do
That makes me not to think about you
So what am I supposed to do
When I want you, when I need you

Chorus 2
I desperately want to be in your life
Unfortunately, I don't know how
So for now I'll keep my distance
But my obsession with you will not end

Outro
I must admit that I'm obsessed with you
I desperately want to be in your life

Why Did I Ever

Verse 1
Why did I ever let you in my life?
The only thing you did was cause pain and strife
I felt used, felt betrayed
I finally realized you won't change

Verse 2
Why did I ever let you in my life?
You broke my heart
It's like you pierced it with a knife
You hurt me, I cried
I finally realized who you really are

Verse 3
Why did I ever let you in my life?
I didn't like anything about you
I thought I could
I finally realized I was wrong

Verse 4
Why did I ever let you in my life?
That was a mistake
One that I will not make again
I learned the hard way
I guess that's all I can say

Chorus
Why did I ever want you that bad?
Maybe because I was lonely
Maybe because I was sad

Always Let Me Go

Verse 1
Always let me go
whenever I say so
What's this thing between us?
I don't know how to define it
Is it a relationship? Is it an affair?
Is it a fling that will soon come to an end?

Verse 2
Secrets I tell you shouldn't be told to anyone
Whatever we do or don't do in private stays between us
I deserve to know the truth
Whatever it may be
Whenever I want to be alone
Respect the choice I make

Chorus 1
I will not be held as a prisoner or a slave
I will not be anybody's prize or conquest
If you ever treat me that way
You'll have no choice but to always let me go

Chorus 2
Don't force me to do anything I don't want to
Whenever I make mistakes, don't judge me
You'll never be perfect either
If you ever treat me that way
You'll have no choice but to always let me go

Blue States

Verse 1
You may not know it
But inside I am blue
This feeling never completely goes away
It's like I don't know how to be happy
It's like I'm always crying inside of me
The only passengers that come along with me
Are ones that I've been trying to get rid of

Verse 2
In the north I was bored
In the south I was scared
In the east I was overwhelmed
I thought my lucky break was in the west
But it turned out to be like the other places

Bridge
I'm always in new territories
Trying to leave each of them
The frustration I feel never ends

Chorus 1
I'm travelling through blue states
I don't know how far I can go
Because I'm running on empty
And I need to fuel up to get me through this life

Chorus 2
I'm travelling through blue states
With only one destination in mind
I need to get there before I die
If I don't, this life of mine would have been a waste
I'm travelling through blue states
Losing myself along the way

Waiting For My Rocket To Come

Verse 1
Every night I look at the stars
Thinking about my life and all the painful scars
I feel like starting over
I've made a lot of mistakes
Venturing out into the unknown
Is what I have to do to become whole
Sometimes I get impatient
I want to leave right now
I know I should be patient
I'll be better off if I am

Verse 2
Every night I look at the stars
I feel like starting over
I've made a lot of mistakes

Verse 3
Every night I look at the stars
Thinking about my life and all the painful scars

Chorus
I'm waiting for my rocket to come
It's going to take me away from here
I just can't wait to leave this place
You can tell by the expression on my face
I know that it's not going to be late
When I enter it I won't look back
Nothing and no one will stop me from getting on board
