01. Strength (acoustic version)

Take a breath, take a breath
Hold it deep in my chest
Can’t back down, won’t back down
‘Cause I’ve got nothin’ left
Take a breath, take a breath
Hold it deep down inside
Gotta find strength, find my strength
Everything is alright

Woke up this morning with a new attitude
Open the shutters, let the sunshine through
Now I know what I’ve gotta do 
To make it, make it, make it

Gotta live my life one day at a time
We all make mistakes, but I learn from mine
May not succeed, but at least I tried
To make it, make it, make it

Take a breath, take a breath
Hold it deep in my chest
Can’t back down, won’t back down
‘Cause I’ve got nothin’ left
Take a breath, take a breath
Hold it deep down inside
Gotta find strength, find my strength
Everything is alright 

No longer lookin’ over my shoulder
I’m not a child, I am a little older
So talk to me with the respect I deserve
I’ll make it, make it, make it

It’s been a long time that I’ve been puttin’ up this fight
And I’m won’t stop until I the day that I die
No more excuses, time to swallow my pride
And make it, make it, make it

Take a breath, take a breath
Hold it deep in my chest
Can’t back down, won’t back down
‘Cause I’ve got nothin’ left
Take a breath, take a breath
Hold it deep down inside
Gotta find strength, find my strength
Everything is alright

Woke up this morning with a new attitude
Open the shutters let the sunshine through
Now I know what I’ve gotta do
To make it, make it, make it

Take a breath, take a breath
Hold it deep in my chest
Can’t back down, won’t back down
‘Cause I’ve got nothin’ left
Take a breath, take a breather
Hold it deep down inside
Gotta find strength, find my strength
Everything is alright

Everything is alright

04. Gone Away

Summer is comin’ to an end

Just like the good times, you’ll be gone once again

Out of my life and out of this one horse town
Just like a bird, you fly so high above the ground

But you’re gone away, you left me far behind
You’re gone away, can’t get you outta my mind
You’re gone away, and I am here to stay
Away

Fall is so cold without you here by my side
I’m still in this same damn town,
And hell yeah I’m probably high.
But the clouds are so lonely and they sky, it is so blue
And until you return, my love is still for you 

But you’re gone away, you left me far behind
You’re gone away, can’t get you outta my mind
You’re gone away, and I am here to stay
Away

But you’re gone away, you left me far behind
You’re gone away, can’t get you outta my mind
You’re gone away, and I am here to stay
Away

05. In My Head

You were the best thing I ever had
But I never really had that much…
I gave you everything you asked
And all I wanted was your touch

And if you wanted me to leave
All you had to was say…
You lead me on, let me believe
That what we had was fate

I wanted you to hold my hand
But you just held me back
I want you to understand
You don’t treat your man like that
I thought you loved me with all your soul
If you did, then that love’s dead
I think it’s something we both know…
You only loved me in my head

And after all that you’d put me though
I was still right by your side
There’s nothing, for you, I would not do
And you could never do me right

And if you wanted me to leave
Why’d you always keep me here?
Well, I can’t let you do this to me
So watch me as I disappear…

I wanted you to hold my hand
But you just held me back
I wanted you to understand
You don’t treat your man like that
I thought you loved me with all your soul
If you did, then that love’s dead
I think it’s something we both know
You only loved me in my head

And there’s no turning back for me now
It took me this much to walk out
And you will never see me again
This wasn’t love, and whatever it was, it’s dead

I wanted you to hold my hand
But you just held me back
I wanted you to understand
You don’t treat your man like that
I thought you loved me with all your soul
If you did, then that love’s dead
I think it’s something we both know
You only loved me in my head

In my head
You only loved me in my head
What was I thinking? What was I thinking? What was I thinking?
In my head
You only loved me in my head
What was I thinking? What was I thinking? What was I thinking?
