Melissa O'Neil Album

Tonight I'm reaching out to you
Cause I can feel the pain you're going through
As if I feel you from miles away
And everything around you turned to grey
Don't you wonder
Where your colours have gone
Take a look outside
Come on

[Chorus:]
Take what's bringing you down
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Who's hurting you now
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Don't take it down with you
Cause you don't really have a clue
Let it go, let it go, let it go

There's a place that I go running to
A space inside of me, inside of you
It's where I feel I'm not alone
And everybody stumbles, don't you know
You're a wonder
You're a miracle, you see
It's no mystery to me
Come on

[Chorus:]
Take what's bring you down
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Who's hurting you now
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Don't take it down with you
Cause you don't really have a clue
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Look around you
It's amazing
Everything you see
Every morning that you wake
There is no such thing as an ordinary day

Let it go, let it go, let it go
Take what's bring you down
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Who's hurting you now
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Don't take it down with you
Cause you don't even have a clue
Let it go, let it go, let it go

I took my chances
I knew that you were trouble
But you're like a magnet
When you get closer, you pull me onnn
You said, we'll never go wrong
A promise you can't keep
Today, my memory's so long
Long gone (could it be that)

[Chorus:]
I'm better off, on my own
Then you kick and you screa and you break me
I'm thinkin' it's time that I'm gone
Then you push and you pull and you string me along
You play these waiting games
But I'm finally tryin' to stake my claim with you
I'm so tired of holdin' on
When you string me along

I might get stuck in
This tangled web you're weavin'
I'm like your puppet
But you're strangling' my breathin'
You said be patient with me
To be honest, I can't hang
Today these chains don't fit me and
I'm not gunna play in your game (could it be that)

[Chorus 2:]
I'm better off, on my own
But you kick and you scream, and you break me
I'm thinkin' it's time that I'm gone
But you push and you pull and you string me along
You keep on playing games
But I'm finally tryin' to break away from you
I'm so tired of holdin' on
When you string me along

A broken heart, a broken promise
That's all you leave behind for me
Lookin' up to you I lost focus
Now I'll bring it back to where it used to be
You make it so hard to do it
And I know you don't want me to leave, Oh-no-no
Nooo..so you kick and scream and you push and you
Pull, and you string me along

[Chorus:]
I'm better off, on my own
Then you kick and you screa and you break me
I'm thinkin' it's time that I'm gone
Then you push and you pull and you string me along
You play these waiting games
But I'm finally tryin' to stake my claim with you
I'm so tired of holdin' on

Stuck in world
No longer turning
Always the girl
Waiting for something
Too many days
Walking around sleeping
Open my eyes
I'm tired of dreaming

[Chorus:]
I wanna run with the reckless emotion
Find out if love is the size of an ocean
Even if I crash down, burn out
At least I'm gunna know what it's like
To feel alive

Sun on my face
Lights of the city
Maybe in love
Or just learning to be
On my two feet
I can only imagine
I'll say the words
And believe it will happen

[Chorus:]
I wanna run with the reckless emotion
Find out if love is the size of an ocean
Even if I crash down, burn out
At least I'm gunna know what it's like
To feel alive

They think they know
But how they know me
I'm getting to know myself
I'm finally ready
To be somebody
With a story to tell

[Chorus:]
I wanna run with the reckless emotion
Find out if love is the size of an ocean
Even if I crash down, burn out
At least I'm gunna know what it's like
I wanna feel til my heat breaks wide open
I wanna blaze like a fire that's growin'
Even if I crash down, burn out
At least I'm gunna know what it's like

I'm not gunna sleep 'til 8 in the morning
Way too many thoughts in my head
I could lie awake and drive myself crazy
Or go back to see you instead
It's late at night we had a fight and I can't sleep
It's not alright

[Chorus:]
I've gotta go by your place so we can make up face to face
Cause I know that nothing's right 'til I get my kiss goodnight

Over thinking rehearsing my lines
Trying to figure out what to say
I missed a few stop signs, it's 3 in the morning
And I don't really care who'se to blame
Cause things we said, stuck in my head
It's time we put this thing to bed

[Chorus:]
I've gotta go by your place so we can make up face to face
Cause I know that nothing's right 'til I get my kiss goodnight

It's a little thing with you and me
But it means everything
It's all I need to find my peace of mind
And dream

[Chorus:]
I've gotta go by your place so we can make up face to face

Put all the past in a box and seal it with shrink-wrap
Send it away to a place you'll never go
Smash all the glass that is keeping you trapped in a bottle
Take your first cold breath of hope
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus:]
Starting over, again - oh
I know there's something waiting
And I'm changing
Just like January
I'll start, over again - oh
Just when I thought I faded
You saved me
Just like January

Trash everything that has ever crashed your system
Forget all the days that you've ever cried for help
Shelf all the words that have ever been used against you
Take the time to trust yourself
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus:]
Starting over, again - oh
I know there's something waiting
And I'm changing
Just like January
I'll start, over again - oh
Just when I thought I faded
You saved me
Just like January

And I'm changing
January
And I don't know what's coming
Or what lies ahead for me
Just when I thought I faded

Selective memory conveniently drops by
When you're up in the club and some girls caught your eye
What, you don't think I hear rumors?
My friends don't have eyes?

I know your mind's like a computer
But you turn if off sometimes
I wonder what you're doing to me
What you're doing, boy
I remember

[Chorus:]
Don't play dumb
Cause I know what you're thinking
Forget about it
Back it up
Cause you now that I
Won't forgive you, won't forget the
Damage done
And I won't take you back
Forget about it

You remember science books
The French you took last year
Every single sports statistic but you still don't get it, dear
I wonder are you really with me?
Are you really, boy?
Just remember

[Chorus:]
Don't play dumb
Cause I know what you're thinking
Forget about it
Back it up
Cause you now that I
Won't forgive you, won't forget the
Damage done
And I won't take you back
Forget about it

Boy, I know this one thing
You ain't forgetting nothing

[Chorus:]
Don't play dumb
Cause I know what you're thinking
Forget about it
Back it up
Cause you now that I
Won't forgive you, won't forget the
Damage done
And I won't take you back
Forget about it

Don't you forget about it

You held me up when I was down
Said everythig without a sound
Yeah, you're beautiful
Now you fill me up like a ghost
When you're far away, you're always close
Our chain is unbreakable
Whatever happens, whereever I go
I want you to know

[Chorus:]
That I'm driving blind
And I'm half-alive
Spinning around
When you're not here my feet don't touch the ground
Day and night
What's left is not right
I'm upside down
Losing you is turning me inside, turning me inside out

And all the words I might have said
Got twisted up instead and I
I wish you were here tonight
It feels so cold inside this pace
So alone, surrounded by your space
I'm empty now
Whatever happens whereever I go
I want you to know

[Chorus:]
That I'm driving blind
And I'm half-alive
Spinning around
When you're not here my feet don't touch the ground
Day and night
What's left is not right
I'm upside down
Losing you is turning me inside, turning me inside out

If you could see me now
Would you save me
But I crash to the ground
Can you hear me?

[Chorus:]
That I'm driving blind
And I'm half-alive
Spinning around
When you're not here my feet don't touch the ground
Day and night
What's left is not right
I'm upside down
Losing you is turning me inside, turning me inside out

Turning me inside, turning me inside out

I find I get lost for words around you
Overwhelmed by your presence
I feel the same, I hear the words you won't say
Echo through your eyes
Nothing more for me to say
Silence understand some things
What it meant to be, will be

[Chorus:]
Sometimes it's the words we don't say that get in the way
Time will break down the walls that we've built between us
I won't ever be speechless

This feeling takes me just like a painted sky
how do I describe all these colours inside
Nothing left for me to say anyway

[Chorus:]
Sometimes it's the words we don't say that get in the way
Time will break down the walls that we've built between us
I won't ever be speechless

I wanna know you inside out
I want to know you without a doubt
And though we're shy
Would it be easier just to say goodbye
I want to learn to read your mind
I want to say the words but my tounge gets tied
And don't feel shy
Would it be easier just to say goodbye

I find I get lost for words around you
Overwhelmed by your presence

[Chorus:]
Sometimes it's the words we don't say that get in the way
Time will break down the walls that we've built between us

Tell me what are you hiding, under the stairs
Tell me what's in your closet, what's got you scared
Cause I've come so far, to know who you are
And you always leave me waiting

[Chorus:]
I'm so tired of standin here at your door
It's not what I wanted I want more
I wish I knew what was inside but I've always been
On the outside looking in

Feels like I've know you forever but what do I know
You never answer my questions, only the door
So I wait for you to show me who
You are, but I'm still waitin'

[Chorus:]
I'm so tired of standin here at your door
It's not what I wanted I want more
I wish I knew what was inside but I've always been
On the outside looking in

Do your secrets keep you warm at night or do they keep you lonely?
Do the brick walls keep you safe from hamr, is that why you won't get to know
me?

[Chorus:]
I'm so tired of standin here at your door
It's not what I wanted I want more
I wish I knew what was inside but I've always been

An ordinary girl in a boring world
Is that what you're lookin' for?
A girl who follows trends
Dresses like her friends
Who'd do anything to fit in
So you measure me, cause you need to be sure I'll look good on your arm
I'm not a doll, not packaged at all
What are you looking for?

[Chorus:]
I was trying to be myself
All you want is someone else
An unoriginal girl
What you get is what you see
All you're gonna get from me
Is an original girl

I'm a quirky girl in an offbeat world
I'm up close and personal
I do the weirdest things
I'm not too shy to sing
So, la la la la la la
Got my own things that give me style
No warranty, can you handle that?
Cause you know you can't take me back

[Chorus:]
I was trying to be myself
All you want is someone else
An unoriginal girl
What you get is what you see
All you're gonna get from me
Is an original girl

I think you watch too much TV
Cause you got no idea what a girl's supposed to be
And I'm gunna be myself

[Chorus:]
I was trying to be myself
All you want is someone else
An unoriginal girl
What you get is what you see
All you're gonna get from me

I saw you hanging on Saturday night
You didn't even know I was there
Holding her hand in the parking lot
I know I shouldn't care

I wanna feel loved for a minute
Don't wanna be taken to the limit
But it feels like you keep pushing me there

[Chorus:]
Don't think that you're better than that
Don't even think you're the only one on my map
I know it's cool when you're there
If you're playing a game then I swear
In a heart beat
I won't take you back

Don't think that I can't see it
When you're looking at her
It doesn't take a genius to know

That I wanna feel love when I'm around ta
I wouldn't give up unless I found you
In the arms of someone else

[Chorus:]
Don't think that you're better than that
Don't even think you're the only one on my map
I know it's cool when you're there
If you're playing a game then I swear
In a heart beat
I won't take you back

Even if you're begging on your knewws
I'm not the kind of girl to be that weak
Don't think I'm kidding
(It feels like you keep pushing me there)

[Chorus:]
Don't think that you're better than that
Don't even think you're the only one on my map
I know it's cool when you're there
If you're playing a game then I swear
In a heart beat

I know
That it has been hard for you
It must be killing you
And I can feel
How it pulls at you
It pulls at me too
I would run away to the world I lef behind
I will find away back to you

[Chorus:]
And when you've got no where to turn
And you're all alone
When your walls a breaking yet there's no escaping
And I, I'd fly through the night
To get back to your side
I will be your safe place to hide

I was, always there for you
Always cared for you
And I'm still
Right here guarding you
Watching over you

Though I'm miles away
From the world I left behind
I will find a way back to you

[Chorus:]
And when you've got no where to turn
And you're all alone
When your walls a breaking yet there's no escaping
And I, I'd fly through the night
To get back to your side
I will be your safe place to hide

I'll be there by your side
The safe place that you hide cause nothings really changing
I'm just a few more miles away

And when you've got no where to turn
And you're all alone
Your walls are a breaking
Yet there's no escaping and
I, I'd fly through the night
To get back to your side
To be your safe place to hide
