Outsider

I come from afar
Wishing on a shooting star
That I could just get by
Same job no equal pay
But still, I work in hopes that I may
Find a better chance

You still stare
Straight through my heart and I
Can’t say a word
Kindness hides within
Beneath my coffee-colored skin
My skin

I’m an outsider
An outsider
No, I don’t wanna be
But that’s all that you can see
Same blood beneath my skin
Heaven forbid we’d ever be kin
Cause I’m an outsider
Cause I’m just an outsider

I come from afar
Hoppin onto buses and cars
To live the American dream

You still stare
Straight through my heart and I
Can’t say a word
Kindness hides within
Beneath my coffee-colored skin
My skin

I’m an outsider
An outsider
No, I don’t wanna be
But that’s all that you can see
Same blood beneath my skin
But heaven forbid we’d ever be kin
Cause I’m an outsider
Cause I’m an outsider

I know, all you see is my color
I know, I’m an imposter and intruder
But my heart still beats the same
still loves the same
But I guess it’ll just take time
Time, time

I’m an outsider
An outsider
No, I don’t wanna be
But that’s all that you can see
Same blood beneath my skin
But heaven forbid we’d ever be kin
Cause I’m just an outsider
Just an Outsider, I’m just an Outsider
Cause I’m just an outsider oooh

Moonlight

Let me steal away your heart for the night
To a place, I know where you cannot go alone

The neon energy, a shiny new reality
Take my hand, we’ll fly into the moonlight
Drunk and wasted you and I
Empty-handed, hearts aligned
Live or die, you and i
Under the moonlight

Pull me closer as the lights go dim
Let’s sway along to this foreign hymn
Sweet sounds laced with vibrations of the past
Let’s make it last baby underneath the moonlight

Drunk and wasted you and I
Empty-handed, hearts aligned (under the moonlight)
Live or die, you and i
Under the moonlight

When our eyes meet
Purple lights invite a romance
One-touch
Can’t get enough
Flying euphoria

Moonlight,

Drunk and wasted you and I
Empty-handed, hearts aligned
Live or die, you and i
Under the moonlight

Moonlight,

Drunk and wasted you and I
Empty-handed, hearts aligned
Live or die, you and i
Under the moonlight

Bet you thought, you were done, done with the past
Bet you thought that I was through,

Picking up the pieces that you lost along the road
We don’t do no second chances,
Boy you got to go

And boy, I’ve had enough
Baby you want more more
I was on the shore
Baby you want more more
Well then listen to my roar
Woah, woah woah, oh oh oh oh oh, woah
I’ve been running through the dark
Holding nothing but a spark
Won’t let you take my heart
Oh you’re too late
You’re yearning for the easy way
Dream of that another day
I won’t let you take my place
Oh you’re too late
I’ve been always there for you
When the world pushed ya down
But ever since day 1 you been eyeing my crown
Oooooooo
Get lost, be gone
Cause I know how, to bring it on
Baby you want more, more
I was on the shore
Baby you want more, more
Well then listen to my roar

Oh oh oh!
I’ve been running through the dark
Holding nothing but a spark
Won’t let you take my heart
Oh you’re too late
You’re yearning for the easy way
Dream of that another day
I won’t let you take my place
Boy you’re too late
Woah, woah woah,

I’ve been running through the dark
Holding nothing but a spark

Holding nothing but a spark
Won’t let you take my heart
Oh you’re too late
You’re yearning for the easy way
Dream of that another day
I won’t let you take my place
Boy you’re too late

Heartless

You stole my heart
Left me shattered; broken parts
The neon energy, a shiny new reality
But you’re not that smart
Now I see through your game
I’ll put your whole act to shame
I’ve only come to claim
It haunts me
To know that you still want me
I can’t find the words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry oh baby
It hurts me
To be under your curse, please
I can’t find the words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry oh baby
I’m heartless, heartless, heartless, yeah
Icy touch to the bone
You’ve turned me stone cold
All I’m aiming for is gold
It haunts me
To know that you still want me
I can’t find the words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry oh baby
It hurts me
To be under your curse, please
I can’t find the words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry oh baby
Late-night drives in your 69
Bedhead cruising down the 405
Words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry baby
One look at the blonde from across the room
All of a sudden I lost hold of you
Now you see what I came to do
It haunts me
To know that you still want me
I can’t find the words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry oh baby
It hurts me
To be under your curse, please
I can’t find the words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry oh baby
It haunts me
To know that you still want me
I can’t find the words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry oh baby
It hurts me
To be under your curse, please
I can’t find the words to say I’m sorry
The words to say I’m sorry oh baby
I’m heartless, heartless, heartless, yeah.

Don't Want U Back

Why was I never taken out to a dance
Someone who loves me enough to hold my hand
Try to distract myself with lies and mind games
But I still wait for your text anyways
Now I’m at your doorstep
I’ve debated once before that
Should I stay, or should I go
All the things you’ve done to me
But still my one and only
Got me hooked on you
I don’t want you back
No ma’am
My friends already blocked your number
Cause I got attached
And you didn’t show up
Left me crying in the midnight club
I was the player
You were the game
Until you twisted up my aim
Now I have nothing
You have stacks
But baby I still don’t want you back
Bet you didn’t know I used to read our old words
Try to find comfort in the way you made me hurt
But now my eyes are red and my tears are dry
Guess I shoulda known to let you go so I could try
All the things you’ve done to me
But still my one and only
Got me hooked on you
But I don’t want you back
No ma’am
My friends already blocked your number
Cause I got attached
And you didn’t show up
Left me cryin in the midnight club
I was the player
You were the game
Until you twisted up my aim
Now I have nothing
You have stacks
But baby I still don’t want you back
Woah oh
Baby I still don’t want you back
Woah oh
Woah
I don’t want you back
No ma’am
My friends already blocked your number
Cause I got attached
And you didn’t show up
Left me crying in the midnight club
I was the player
You were the game
Until you twisted up my aim
Now I have nothing
You have stacks
But baby I still don’t want you back
Woah oh
Baby i still don’t want you back.
