ALONE

Questions linger on my mind
Why I’m quick to love, so quickly blind
To the truth elusive, the hurt inside
I am meant for more than you provide

That’s why I call your name
And search in vain for another soul that feels the same
I pressure you to love me too
My heart is not enough for you

[Chorus]

I find myself in love with you
I know I find myself longing to be with you
I know I find myself wanting to make it true
I know I find myself alone

I find myself in love with you
I find myself longing to be with you
I find myself wanting to make it true
I find myself alone

The answer’s held up in my head
It’s so petty all those things we said
I know I don’t deserve your lies
I need more inside
I just can’t control this heart’s divide

Between the one-way flame, it burns insane
I trusted you to feel the same
I’m talking out my ass to you when I’m not enough

BE STRONG

Mother lay down
Won’t you rest your head now
Go to sleep
The Lord will keep
Your pleasures for when you wake
You burdens He will take
He put His trust in you
To show me how to
Hold my head high
Wipe down those tears I’ve cried
You’ve helped me shed light on what I’ll find

[Chorus]

In life, times have been known to be all wrong (wrong)
I know, traveling that road to paradise can be long
But you’ve got to win
You’ve got to learn to be strong

Sister smile now
Don’t you bow your head now
You’re so wise
You lift me up
And I want to get through to you
That you’re smart and pretty too
Conquer the world now girl it’s yours to claim
Don’t look behind you
That was then, this is not you
Trust as you climb you’ll learn to find

[Repeat Chorus]

Paralyzed

I’m paralyzed but no one hears my cries
My tears, they flow inside; they never leave my eyes
I don’t know what to do
My pain is a wall that surrounds me; I can’t move
Why can’t I decide to fight, to fight, to beat, to win this war that’s been waged on me

As I’ve known to walk I’ve learned to talk (about it)
The pain that fills me up it eats me up (it’s growin’)
And when I turn to you the pain comes too (there’s no end)
I’m paralyzed inside

[Chorus]

Why can’t I just move on
Ignore the pain and feel strong
Or tell myself that this is all wrong
I’m paralyzed inside

Tell myself that this must end
I need to feel and begin
Anew with joy that comes from within
But I’m paralyzed inside

Now I’ll decide to fight myself
And though I’m paralyzed, I’ll still try
Try as I might; I’ll give it all I’ve got within me
But this pain feels victory and I defeat
Don’t you worry; don’t you worry about me
The hurt, the pain, won’t last for long

As I’ve known to walk I’ve learned to talk (about it)
The pain that fills me up it eats me up (it’s growin’)
And when I turn to you the pain comes too (there’s no end)
I’m paralyzed inside

[Repeat Chorus]

As I’ve known to walk I’ve learned to talk (about it)
The pain that fills me up it eats me up (it’s growin’)
And when I turn to you the pain comes too (there’s no end)
I’m paralyzed inside

Where you at, where you at
Where you at, where you at
I’m paralyzed inside

[Repeat Chorus 2X]
