Awkward 03:04
Maybe I’m a little bit awkward I try to use my words but I just end up in a jumbled pile and Maybe I can’t walk in a straight line I trip when I say hi to you and who put that tree in the way? Yeah I don’t always know what to say / so I’m keeping it easy CHORUS: All I wanted was a “hi, hello, I’m good and how are you?” Is that too much to ask? I only want a simple hi, hello, I’m good and how are you? But all you gave me was, all you gave me was goodbye. Oh oh oh oh How does she always know what to do? She doesn’t even have to try and everyone wants her around And I cant even get out a word or two Unless I’m with my safety crowd but they’re not always gonna be around When I don’t know what to say / nothing wrong with keeping it easy CHORUS I don’t get what you’re saying Can you speak a little louder cause you’re mumbling again And all I need you make it better Is just a smile and a not from my best friends And I’m ready to try again CHORUS 2: All I wanted was a “hi, hello, I’m good and how are you?” Is that too much to ask? I only want a simple hi, hello, I’m good and how are you? But all they gave me was, all they gave me was goodbye. Oh oh oh oh / oh but you give me a hi, a hello, so I’m good.

Underdogs 03:30
You can push me you can pull me down But there’s no way I’m staying on the ground Cause I am something you will never be I am stronger than I may seem You don’t see us when we’re at our best You’re too focused on your flawlessness But when we fall we’re stronger than before We’re not raindrops we’re the storm So call us what you want / just wait for the long run CHORUS: We are the underdogs / we’re not afraid of you and / we will come out on top So go and give it your best shot (whoa oh oh) Don’t try to mess with us / we’ll blow your mind when / we come out #1 So give up while you can cause we are the underdogs You can call me all those stupid names But that is not enough to cause me pain Cause I am proud of who I’ve always been It took some time but now I love who I am So call us anything / just wait til the day we win CHORUS No, your words will never hurt my pride / I’m standing tall and I will be alright Yeah, I know just how the saying goes / but sticks and stones will never break my bones No, your words will never hurt my pride / I’m standing tall and I will be alright Yeah, I know just how the saying goes / but sticks and stones will never break my… CHORUS

You made me who I am you brought me where I’ve been I’d never change the way we’ve been through everything together You know me inside out and you stay by my side And words can never really show you how much I thank you for being my friend through thick and thin CHORUS: I’ve had the time of my life just being with you All the ups and downs that we’ve been through You’ve seen me cry and I’ve seen you I’ve got your back and you’ve got mine I’ve had the time of my life I’ve had the time of my life Some people come and go sometimes they let you down And they say BFF but they don’t really mean it at all We’ve travelled through the world you’ve opened up my mind And words can never really show you how much I thank you cause through thick and thin you’ll still be my friends CHORUS Oh and I need you now / to believe in me like I believe in you Oh and I need you now / nobody brings me up like the way that you do Oh and I need you now / more than ever right by my side CHORUS 2: I’ve had the time of my life being with you You always know the best way to help me through The problems I face, I face ‘em with you And you carry me through that’s why I’ve had the… CHORUS

Destroy Me 03:45
So this is how it always goes / you act like you want me / but it’s a joke And no, no I’m not crazy / you put on a good show / and I’m sold You grab me by the heart and you don’t let go Dangle me around so that everybody knows I’m your next victim CHORUS: Cause you destroy me / you control me Let me go please / I’m on my own You lead me to believe / that you want the best for me But in reality / I’m on my own And I should know better by now / so many examples / that I ignore But each of you seem so brand new / and I know you’re not all the same / but sometimes it seems that way / when you… Grab me by the heart and you don’t let go and You dangle me around so that everybody knows When you strike again CHORUS I don’t wana get hurt again / you’ve had your chances / and there’s nothing left now / One day I’ll find someone who / treats my heart like its supposed to / be treated CHORUS x2

Sometimes 03:47
There are days when you just have a lot to say But think about it does anyone really care You can go on and on And they say that they’re listening / but you know better than that CHORUS: sometimes / I want to let it out / but they’ve go their own problems So I think I’ll figure this one out on my own We all have those moments of defeat Tough crowds can be so hard to please No one wants to go on and on When they say that they’re listening / and they’re not listening CHORUS 2: sometimes / I want to let it out / but they’ve go their own problems / but I know / that I’m not / usually the one to / see the glass half empty So I think I’ll figure this one out on my own / don’t get me wrong I realize that I am not alone in this world I know that you will hold my hand when I need you the most As long as you are here tonight you know that you can count on me too CHORUS 2 I think I’ll figure this one out / I think I’ll figure this one out on my own

You 03:00
You walk up to me / and tell me how you are and I / I can’t help but smile Oh you are barely four feet tall / and you think you know it all and I / I can related to you CHORUS: But you are just learning / about how the world works and There’s nothing wrong with that / but I’m just trying to show you that You don’t have to grow up too fast / no matter what they’re telling you cause You are just learning / and I’m still learning too You tell me that you’re sad / you want me to help out and I / I don’t know what to do. But I, I put a smile on / cause I’ve been there too and I / I know you’ll make it through / cause CHORUS Too many thoughts are sneaking into my mind When I’m just trying to get a little bit of shut-eye A little bit of shut-eye is all I need in my life And one day you will see but for now CHORUS 2: You don’t have to grow up too fast / no matter what they’re telling you cause You are just learning / and I’m still learning too / oh / oh And we’re gonna make it through :)
