It Was Good... While It Lasted (EP)

"Heartbeat"
 
Verse 1:
Late night whispers
My fears fade away
Sweet sweet elixir
Your heartbeat makes me sway
Your touch, so gentle, sets my soul on fire, 
Holding you close, you know what I desire
With you, baby, everything feels right. 
Make me lost in your love, all through the night.

Chorus:
Feel our hearts beat, your love is so sweet
(yours and mine)
It gets me lost in my mind
(yours and mine)
Feel our hearts beat, hope you never leave
(yours and mine)
Want you to stay in my life
(yours and mine)

Verse 2:
Something ‘bout you
tu es mon centre (you are my center)
You’re my guiding light, 
tu me remplis d'amour (you fill me up with love)
And you bring me peace in life
Je veux de l'amour (I want love)
et tu dis d'accord (you say okay)
You’re the beat to my heart
Never felt something so pure
 
Every tender kiss, makes my whole world stop
Games we play in the dark, always leave their mark
A symphony, to my open heart. 
It's every memory of you that fades to the dark
You say your word is bond
I shouldn’t feel like this
This isn't adding up
It’s something that I missed
Lying to my face
You said it's just me
Should've knew from the start
You’d turn your back on me
 
Chorus:
Feel our hearts beat, your love is so sweet
(yours and mine)
It gets me lost in my mind
(yours and mine)
Feel our hearts beat, hope you never leave
(yours and mine)
Want you to stay in my life
(yours and mine)


Bridge:
Is this is my head, or is it in my face?
Are you in someone else’s bed, instead of my embrace?
Feels like I'm seeing things, the hints I can’t retrace
I’m losing hope baby, just tell me what it takes
To keep you in this love so strong, it cannot not break
I fight for us, in love, but it’s easy for you to replace.

Where’d you go baby?

Outro:
Baby feel our hearts beat yours and mine
Baby your love is so sweet, it’s for me and mine
Baby felt our hearts beat, it was for me and mine (it gets me lost in my mind want you to stay in my life)
Baby your love was sweet, it was for me and mine (it gets me lost in my mind want you to stay in my life)

Verse 1:
Walked through my days, believed we were fine, 
You gave me distant looks, and I missed every sign. 
Now I see, you were never mine, 
Play me for her, or walk the line

I guess you needed more, cause now I finally see, 
You’re treating her better than you ever treated me 
What was it about her, you never saw in me?
Oh I’ll never understand boy, why you would just leave

Chorus:
Lost in lies, no love to find,
Silent cries are a friend of mine 

Verse 3:
Caught a glimpse of you, in her embrace,
Felt your world shift and I grew out of place,
Your heart grew cold, and you lied to my face
So now I fight the urge to put you in your place.
"So here we are," I say to the night, 
"She’s won your heart, and I’ve lost this fight." 
You feel no need to stay and make this right, 
So in the end, out of mind, out of sight.

Chorus:
Lost in lies, no love to find,
Silent cries are a friend of mine  

Bridge:
You looked for escape in someone else's eyes,
Found your solace in her whispered lies.
Now our story’s reached its sweet demise, 
So, I come to terms to say our last goodbyes
Oh I’m lost in lies

Chorus:
Lost in lies, no love to find,
Silent cries are my favorite time

Verse 1:
Looking back, did I lose sight?
Lost in my own world, in my own fight
Could my silence have caused you such strife?
In this mirror of truth, deception in sight.

Chorus:
Mirror of truth, showing our fall,
Nothing but silence, yet I hear your call.
We built a dream, now ashes fall,
The mirror of truth, reflects it all.

Verse 2:
In my silence, he sought escape,
In another's arms, in another’s space.
Wish I had the courage, the truth to drape,
Now we're just a love, bound to break
You walked away, thought you were free
But you’re bound by the shackles that you couldn’t see
Felt my pain, saw I couldn’t breathe
But you were blinded by what you thought you believed.

"So here we are," you say, in the quiet,
"Sorry little love story, can't deny it.”
We both messed up, no use to fight it,
In the end, we just couldn't right it.

Break:
Mirror of truth, showing our fall
It’s silent, but I hear your call
We built dreams, now watch’em fall
Mirror of truth, reflects it all

Bridge:
Now we both sit here, what’s done is done,
Regret and silence, facing what’s become,
Now distant strangers, when we once were one
Words left unsaid, promises undone
Can't rewind, can't ease the pain,
Won't let you go, won't play this game
You try to plea, but it's hard to explain,
That what's left of us, echoes in the rain.

Chorus:
Mirror of truth showing our fall,
It’s silence, but I hear your call.
We built dreams, now watch ‘em fall,
Mirror of truth, reflects it all.

Chorus:
In two minds, what to do,
Stay in the past or start something new?
With each day, our doubts grew,
In two minds, are we in love or confused?
 
Verse:
Every laugh we shared caused every tear I shed,
Would’ve gone to war over you, but it’s ‘cause of you that I’ve bled
I have to go, but want you near
My mind is conflicted, can’t control it my dear
 
Chorus:
In two minds, what to do,
Stay in the past or start something new?
With each day, our doubts grew,
In two minds, are we in love or confused?
 
Verse:
Now I’m standing here, looking stupid, ‘cause I can't decide,
Whether I should stay or I should leave this life?
In your arms, somehow my heart felt safe and light
But right now, I’m feeling conflicted, I gotta pick a side.
 
We used to shine baby, shine so bright,
The darkest times have come and now our days turns to night.
I’m asking myself, what we had, was it right?
Baby our story is getting lost in the light.
 
Chorus:
In two minds, what to do,
Stay in the past or start something new?
With each day, our doubts grew,
In two minds, are we in love or confused?
 
Alternate Chorus:
In my mind, leaving is for me to choose
To break the shackles that have bound me to you
In my mind you’re guilty of singing lonely blues
Oh about a life of regretting losing me too
 
Chorus:
In two minds, what to do,
Stay in the past or start something new?
With each day, our doubts grew,
In two minds, are we in love or confused?
In two minds, what to do,
Stay in the past or start something new?
With each day, our doubts grew,
In two minds, are we in love or confused?
 
Outro:
Fight for an answer but with me ya it’s clear
That our hearts have chosen different paths
And you have yet to shed a tear
Decision's very clear

Chorus:
I’m not your baby (I’m not your baby)
We'll talk when your tears
I’m not your lady (I’m not your lady)
It’s too late to play the good guy

Verse:
Took me awhile to figure out that you just weren’t for me
Took me even longer to figure out how I could get free
Free of your excuses, free of your lies
Free of your phony, lame, and fake alibis
I’d rather be alone and respected than yours and neglected
Or connected with a man who lies and says, “You understand?”

Pre-chorus:
Years, you took away from me
Oh, I gave you years, and got in too deep

Chorus:
But now I’m not your baby (I’m not your baby)
We'll talk when your tears
I’m not your lady
It’s too late to play the good guy
I’m not your baby
We'll talk when your tears
I’m not your lady
It’s too late to play the good guy

Verse:
Ohh, I gave my love at a cost
‘Cause I’d be better off
Better ‘cause I grieved without
I’d breathe without
Take care, and maybe I’ll heal without you
They say love don’t cost a thing, but I had to pay my whole life
Cause look at where we are
Judging by the tears in my eyes
Thought we’d get past this part
Guess my love was the price

Pre-chorus:
Years, you took away from me
Oh, I gave you years, and got in too deep

Chorus:
But I’m not your baby
We'll talk when your tears
I’m not your lady
It’s too late to play the good guy
I’m not your baby
We'll talk when your tears
I’m not your lady
It’s too late to play the good guy

Outro:
So you can take your charm
Pack that **** up and go
Take your pride, don’t get hit by the door

Verse 1:
Walked out that door and left my past behind,
Found what I was looking for, got myself some peace of mind.
No turning back, no I'm not that kind,
Got my sights set on my future, and I’m leaving you behind.

Chorus:
I'm breaking free, can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)
Make my own light, find my own crown (Can’t tie me down)
No more waiting, I'm homebound (Can’t tie me down)
On my way up, you can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)

I'm breaking free, can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)
Make my own light, find my own crown (Can’t tie me down)
No more waiting, I'm homebound (Can’t tie me down)
On my way up, you can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)

Verse 2:
So many lessons learned, I’m finally I'm moving on,
What we had is gone, I’m leaving, I'm done.
I’m stronger now, and I've finally won,
My life has so much in store and it’s only just begun.

Here I stand tall, climbed that hill and feeling proud,
My heart is light, cause you no longer weigh it down.
I'm moving fast, but you’ll never lose my face in the crowd,
Cause I’m finally living my dream out loud.

Chorus:
I'm breaking free, can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)
Make my own light, find my own crown (Can’t tie me down)
No more waiting, I'm homebound (Can’t tie me down)
On my way up, you can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)

I'm breaking free, can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)
Make my own light, find my own crown (Can’t tie me down)
No more waiting, I'm homebound (Can’t tie me down)
On my way up, you can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)

Bridge:
My past was a testament of my future
My strength is clear now I’m no longer with ya
Love was blinding, but I finally see

Chorus:
I'm breaking free, can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)
Make my own light, find my own crown (Can’t tie me down)
No more waiting, I'm homebound (Can’t tie me down)
On my way up, you can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)
I’m breaking, I’m breaking, Can’t tie me no
I’m breaking free

Chorus:
I'm breaking free, can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)
Make my own light, find my own crown (Can’t tie me down)
No more waiting, I'm homebound (Can’t tie me down)
On my way up, you can't tie me down (Can’t tie me down)
