Break Out
04:41
|
|||
|
verse 1:
confidence is wearing thin
lack of trust barely lets anyone in these days
walls are built with roots so deep
it's impossible to see what's right underneath your nose
–
pre-chorus:
you close your eyes
so we can't see what's inside
–
chorus:
break out
break out
of the shell that you're in now
there is a place where trust can be found
break out and know the truth
there is a love waiting for you
take a leap of faith
–
verse 2:
trust is growing ever faint
rather than take a chance you sit and watch paint dry
your heart has grown so cold
now you're growing old and you're still along
–
pre-chorus:
you open your mouth
but no real words come out
–
bridge:
empty handed still
you never felt like you belonged
i know how it feels to be along
to walk alone
empty handed still
you never felt like you belonged
i know how it feels to be along
to walk alone
you're not alone
you're not alone
you're not alone

Mirrors
04:48
|
|||
|
verse 1:
objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear
the curves warp the source and create the illusion of change
view different angles the input remains but the output's not the same
so i wonder when people look at me, what do they see
in me
in me
in me
–
chorus 1:
do they see a man that's been changed from the inside out
who's just like them, trying to figure like out
am i a reflection of my maker, or do they see
another human claiming the name, but not living it out
–
verse 2:
look at the world we live in, doesn't it break your heart
souls searching for answers in all the wrong places
we have the chance to be the change, that we wish to see
but when the wind blows, will our mark remain
remain
remain
remain
–
chorus 2:
do they see someone that's been changed from the inside out
who's just like them, trying to figure life out
are we reflections of our maker, or do they see
another human claiming the name, but not living it out
–
outro:
i wanna be a reflection of my maker
i wanna be the change i wish to see
i've spent my whole life trying to figure it out
love god, love people
that's what it's all about
love god, love people
that's what its all about
love god, love people
that's what it's all about

Courtesy of Your Pride
04:37
|
|||
|
verse 1:
i've seen your type before
you think that you're so smooth
so quick witted with your tongue
you think that you've everyone fooled
–
chorus:
so go on living your self-centered life
hope that it gets you by
when your world starts to crumble around you
and you so called friends have passed you by
courtesy of your pride
i hope that you are still happy
–
verse 2:
change your shirt, comb your hair
now no one is aware of the foolery you've been handing out
stab my back, stab me good
but it's ok because i knew you would
–
bridge:
will you still be happy
when your walls begin to fall down
your pride will bring you down
pride comes before the fall you know
who you really are will be shown
who you really are will be shown
–
outro:
take it from me
this is not how you want to be living
take it from me
cause who you are is who i used to be

Stacy
03:58
|

|
verse 1:
you sit in the parking lot, waiting for stacy
late on a sunday night
you tried calling, but never got out
to go knock on her door
–
chorus:
and it's ok to wait
just know that she may never show
and you might get left out in the cold
so be ready
be ready
–
verse 2:
mid november
has brought you together
on no certain terms
you've no guarantee
of what she wants
or if you'll ever be more
–
bridge:
and if you're like me
you're sitting on the sidewalk
and you've been waiting for what seems like forever
and you're trying so hard to hold on
but you feel like you've lost what you never had
to begin with

Goodbye
05:19
|
|||
|
verse 1:
i think i finally get it
i think i do
i think i finally understand what i have done to you
and though i can't take back all the stupid i've done or said
i try
memories play like a montage in my mind, we can't back
this is goodbye
–
chorus:
this is goodbye
goodbye
this is goodbye
–
verse 2:
are you happy it's over
i think you are
no more hearing stupid songs i wrote for you
on my guitar
i'll bet you're sleeping sound now that you're out of the hell
i put you through
given the chance, i know you won't come back to me
that much is true

|
verse 1:
trust
so easily broken
trust
deeper than words spoken
trust
not so easily mended
trust, me
breaking it's not recommended
–
chorus:
this is my ballad for the broken hearted
the victims of thieves
courageous soldiers with their hearts on the line
trust seems to get broken every time
oh i know
i know what it feels like
–
verse 2:
grace
is something i have been given
hope
it's one reason i'm living
love
is something everyone is needing
life
is only truly found in jesus
–
bridge:
i've been in your shoes before
given myself away
next thing i know i'm on the floor
wishing a friend would come my way
in need of some encouragement
a shoulder i could cry on
oh how much that would've meant
just wanting the pain to be gone
hear the words of my song
though you've been treated wrong
all hope is not gone
