Letting You Go
When you miss something so bad you can feel it in your chest
Talk it out, take a drink
Still Can't put those thoughts to rest
You weren't that invested, I always knew it
In the past before I fell in love
I knew I always blew it
I always got what I wanted and I never had to fight
Party on, move along
I knew one day I’d get it right
Didn't think I'd be here in the corner by myself
It gets pretty lonely I pretend to be someone else
I'm letting you go x4
Yes you were my muse but don't let that confuse you with something that mattered to me
You were a f*** a party a song and it's so funny that you just can't see
The ACT you put on is often so wrong but I'm done making you feel like it's okay
Family comes first even at your worst you never made me feel that way
I'm letting you go x4
You wanted me but you couldn't admit
Now you're poking fun for the hell of it
I can promise you one thing
I am great at games
And if that's what you want there's no doubt I'm gonna play
But you better be ready for the uncertain outcome
Havent you learned in life not all games in life are made to be won
Im Letting You Go

Smaller Things
Singin for the church
It’s all you’ll ever do
That’s what the preacher said
Now he’s leaving too
I’ll be something bigger
Just you wait and see
Greatness from a small town girl like me
Sometimes it aint always what it seems
Sometimes towns too small for these big dreams
This life isn’t easy
No one said that it would be
You have to remember
Greatness comes from smaller things
So I packed up my car and filled up the tank
Don’t know where I’m going6 but I emptied out my bank
I know that I’m leaving
I won’t be coming back again
And no I don’t wanna be your friend
(CHORUS)
They say the towns not big enough to fit us both
They say we’ll never be ok without feeling broken
I know what can cure you
it’s a good long toke
Don’t let those dreams go up in smoke
Under these bright lights
I can tell you now I know
I had to leave my small town to find a place called home
(CHORUS X2)

PEACHES
Courtney Bowles / Ben Livingstone
Take me down this path you lead
Knowing not how much I will have to bleed
Still adventure on into the sun
Seeing how far these little legs can still run
If I'm such a sad tragedy
Take your things
Please up and leave
I never asked you to do anything
There was no promise
Casting a thought in to the blue
Hoping that something gets through to you
Bridges from past memories will someday fall
Watching the world with my back to the wall
Yah I’m Watching the world with my back to the wall
Wanting to get away and sometimes hide
Floating down a river of tears I have cried
Looking to the horizon as far as my view reaches
Would you come join me and eat a lot of peaches
It wouldn't take long at all
To find someone
And then To fall
In love and want to start a family
When that happens he will Never leave
What a twisted fantasy
Casting a thought in to the blue
Hoping that something gets back through to you
Bridges from past memories someday fall
I’m Still Watching the world with my back to the wall
Boy just stop watching the world with your back to the wall
Pour me a glass or make me a pie
Whatever you do please darling don’t lie
I picked em fresh lets explore these beaches
While eating and drinking everything peaches
I don't ask for much You still don't care
Now you'll see my face everywhere
Down at the Pub Across the street
You'll see me in every girl you'll ever meet
Cause you wont just forget
The one who changed everything
You'll always regret
Not saying anything
The worst you'd expect
Means better thing ahead
So U turn or reroute
Loves not a handout
Deep breath and breathe out
No love is worth a Handout
Casting a thought in to the blue
Hoping that something gets back through to you
Bridges from past memories someday fall
I’m Still Watching the world with my back to the wall
Boy just stop watching the world with your back to the wall

So Cold
It used to be just you and me
But lately I feel hurt
All the nights you come home late
with perfume on your shirt
telling me that your just friends
the texts don’t mean a thing
give it a year 6 months and then
she’ll be wearing his mommas ring
So Cold, the empty corners
I came before her, but now she wins
So Cold, the natural gaze
The games he plays, the way he left me
So Cold
Things don’t change
They never do
Its fucking lonely in your bed
Stumble back home round 5 am
Still expecting head
I Push him back
He sits down
Asleep in almost 10
Another night a different fight
were still back here again
Chorus
I can still remember your face,
Like I saw it yesterday,
Broke my heart,
But we had to break,
Ripped me apart,
But the strength I gained,
Was,
Incredible,
Made me invincible,
But at the same time,
So cynical,
Cold as an icicle,
But you're fucking psycho,
If you think imma stand on a tight rope,
For some ass hole,
And I tried my hardest,
But you kept your walls guarded,
I was always the target,
Staying out late partyin,
Feelin disregarded,
But,
Every moment alone,
Felt so cold,
I'm calling you're phone,
But cant get a hold,
Oh well,
This ain't home,
I gotta go,
Can't dispel doubts,
Packin my shit,
& Hittin the door,
Cause Im out,
Chorus
So Cold.
