Shoes Droppin

What have I done to deserve all this
Been brushed by death, ole misery’s kiss
My path not always the straight and narrow
But I’ve kept my eyes upon his ole sparrow
This burden has gotten to hard to bear
Tell me Lord are you still there
Mercy hear my plea x3
Ease up on a sinner x3
Cause I can’t stand no more shoes dropping
What have I done to deserve all this
Payin the devil’s due with some interest
I pray the Lord my pain to take
Forgiveness for the rules I break
But this burden has gotten to hard to bear
Tell me Lord are you still there
Mercy hear my plea x3
Ease up on a sinner x3
Cause I can’t stand no more shoes dropping
What have I done to deserve all this
Burned by hell fire, searing my flesh
I cry and cry - give me relief
My constant friend sorrow and grief
But this burden has gotten so hard to bear
Tell me Lord do you still care?
Mercy hear my plea x3
Ease up on a sinner x3
Cause I can’t stand no more shoes dropping

V1
Just sitting here wondering
How did I get Here
Had to go and fall in love again
Not a week has passed me
Since the last goodbye
And it seems I'm falling for this new guy
It's that get to know you feeling
The mystery gets me tangled twisted can't resist it
Well he seems like a good one so I'll do my best
But his friend has got my heart beating fast
Chorus:
Love Trips me and I'm falling over and over
V2
I'm not a heart breaker
Well, I try not to be
Just can't keep my eyes from wandering
I want my pick of
flavors anything under the sky
Chocolate, cinnamon, or Vanilla chai
I try to hold steady
Love has other plans
Here comes another pretty pretty man
Chorus
Love trips me and I'm falling over and over
Bridge'
Don't judge me
Hear me out please
Give my
philosophy a try
I want to lease with an option to buy
V3
Just sitting here wondering
How did I get here
Maybe I'll keep this one for the year
Turn over a new leaf
Try to behave
He might be the one to change my ways
Chorus:
Love trips me and I'm
falling over and over

Great One
03:59

Can you rise above the rest
Think you’re really that blessed
As you wallow in your mediocrity
Is that all you’ll ever be
Someone once said that you were
good
Why’s that so hard to believe
Can’t listen to a word they said
Over the Demons in your head
Do you even try
Do you even dare to be a great one
To find the how or why that leads you to become one of the great ones
Each time you share some of yoursel
f
Hope it won’t lead you to break
No one can see how fragile you are
Or how little you can take
You set your bar way too high
On that unreachable star
Should just give up and be happy
Never though you would get this far
Do you even try
Do you even dare to be a great one
To find the how or why that leads you to become one of the great ones
Everyone must dream
But some dreams fail
Who are you to think
Your’s isn’t the same tale
Won’t you stop your dreaming x3
And live awake
How many chances do you take
How many gos do you give
Before you realize the settle
Is all that’s left for you my friend
Do you even try
Do you even dare to be a great one
To find the how or why that leads you to become one of the great ones
Do you even
try
Do you think you’ll ever be a great one
For you it’s do or die
Give everything you’ve got
And be a great one

Hard To Let You Go
03:50

V1
Yes I’m glad to know your pain has gone away
But I selfishly wanted you to stay
And I can’
t move beyond all the times we shared
This loneliness is hard to bear
V2
I am powerless to turn back the night
All that’s left in me is a burning need to fight
But his will is done
Another soul on its way
To the other side of day
Chorus
And I know it’s
time to say goodbye
But I find it’s hard to let you go
V3
Time makes you believe you’re its master to obey
Then runs out on you before you’re ready
And you pray for more
Just one more day
But no hands to be won, no bargains to be made
Chorus
And I know i
t’s time to say goodbye
But I find it’s hard to let you go
La la la la la la la la
And you pray for more
Just one more day

Lover's Lullaby
04:09
|

|
Close your eyes, and put everything aside
They’ll be no worries for tonight
And when the sun, beckons for you to rise
again
Maybe some battles you will win
I know the challenges you face
Make it hard to live each day
So Lord I pray
You will find some comfort here tonight
With this lover’s lullaby
Close your eyes, let go the fears that holds you back
You’ll find the cour
age that you lack
And when you dream, think of possibilities
That the future can bring
And I, I will stay right by your side
Through this fight of your life, so as you lie
You will find some comfort here tonight
As I sing this lover’s lullaby
I know this
world seems strange to you
After the pain that you’ve gone through
But just hold on and you will see
In time, you’ll heal just trust in me
And close your eyes, just put everything aside
They’ll be no worries for tonight
You are loved, you can feel it in
my touch
A precious gift from above
And when you start to lose your faith again
Find that strength from within
I know you can
And you will find some courage here tonight
As I sing this lover’s lullaby
You will find some courage here tonight
As I sing th
is lover’s lullaby

Passin Me By
03:12
|

|
Dark Clouds in the sky don’t seem to bother me
I just keep looking for that silver lining
Well the storms may come
They don’t last for long
And though the times get rough
I know
that they’ll be passing me by
And though the rains may fall
I know that they’ll be passing me by
Pass me by Oh
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Every once in a while people try to get me down
But I just tell myself to keep my head up and move along
Well I ca
n’t let them decide
How I should feel or when I can shine
Though the times get rough
I know that they’ll be passing me by
And though the rains may fall
I know that they’ll be passing me by
Pass me by Oh
Dark Clouds in the sky
Know that they’ll be
passing by
I don’t let it get me down
Well if I trust and believe in time
I know that I will find
Troubles won’t last for always
Well the storms may come
They don’t last for long
And though the times get rough
I know that they’ll be passing me by
And though the rains may fall
I know that they’ll be passing me by
Pass me by Oh
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Oh Keep passing me by

My Darlin My Dear
04:47

|
You call me late at night
And I run to you like I always do
But in the early light
I’m left feeling just like a fool
I know you don’t see me that way
But I’d love it if you’d call me
My darlin My dear x3
I’d give
anything to hear you call me
My darlin My dear
I always thought that I
If given time, I could change your mind
But I’ll never win your heart
Cause I’m that girl, the girl on the side
I know It won’t change a thing
But I’d love it if you’d call me
My
darlin My dear x3
I’d give anything to hear you call me
My darlin My dear
Can you pretend that you love me
Hold me in your arms and call me
My darlin My dear x3
I’d give anything to hear you call me
My darlin My dear

Biggest Mistake
03:17
|
|||
|
I really thought I could win your heart
But I guess the game was always rigged
You were hers from the start
I was a momentary fix
But I still think of you each night
And as the sun begins to rise
But you grow colder and more distant
every day
Cause for you I'm your biggest mistake
The demons warring inside your head
I calmed the fighting every night
While I dreamed of kissing you again
You dreamed of holding her tight
Even though things have changed
My love for you still remains
But
you treat me like a stranger in your way
Cause for you I'm your biggest mistake
You thought you'd come clean, tell her the truth
Now she doesn't want a thing to do with you
I thought we'd be together now you're free
But you'd rather be alone than be with
me
I guess I'm just not worth the company...
It's bound to fail when you let yourself
Be a sorry consolation prize
Cause he'll never see you as the best
He lost that when he gave you a try
And as he fights to win her back
And be a better man at that
He doesn't care about your heart left in his wake
Cause for him, you'll always be his biggest mistake
Yes, I know, I'm your biggest mistake

Caretaker
04:06
|
|||
|
I know I said that I’d be there for you baby
But does that mean I have to give up all my needs and be a
Caretaker, Deal breaker, Why won’t someone take care of me
I tried to do the right thing for you baby
But does that mean to forget about my dreams and be a
Caretaker, dream breaker, why won’t someone take care of me
So bottom dropped out and our lives go
t flipped, turned inside out
Now the whole world sits upon my shoulders
Can I keep it balanced until further notice
I’m so used to getting by with a smile and the wink of an eye
But when faced with life and death decisions
Who can blame me if I’m slightly
off the hinges
This was not in the plan
Get the job, get the man
Live happily ever after
My ruined storybook with the ripped out chapters
I know I said that I’d be there for you baby
But does that mean I have to give up all my needs and be a
Caretaker,
Deal breaker, Why won’t someone take care of me
I tried to do the right thing for you baby
But does that mean to forget about my dreams and be a
Caretaker, dream breaker, why won’t someone take care of me
One day everything is fine and the next day you’re
losing your mind
How do you keep up when you don’t know what’s expected
Where’s the manual for life when it gets hectic
Never know how much you’ll take till you’re pushed to the point where you break
Troubles piling up left and right around me
It ain’t yo
ur fault but at you I get so angry
Accidents happen to the strongest of men
But the ones left picking up the pieces lose a little of themselves trying to find a reason
I know I said that I’d be there for you baby
But does that mean I have to give up all my needs and be a
Caretaker, Deal breaker, Why won’t someone take care of me
I tried to do the right thing for you baby
But does that mean to forget about my dreams and be a
Caretaker, dream breaker, why won’t some
one take care of me
I’m losing myself
I’m locked in this hell
I’m so ashamed cause he needs me
But sometimes I can’t help the way that I’m feeling
I know I said that I’d be there for you baby
But does that mean I have to give up all my needs and be a
Ca
retaker, Deal breaker, Why won’t someone take care of me
I tried to do the right thing for you baby
But does that mean to forget about my dreams and be a
Caretaker, dream breaker, why won’t someone take care of me
Caretaker, dream breaker, why won’t someon
e take care of me

Waiting for your call
So easy to fall in love with you
Can’t wait to say I do, I do
You got me under your spell now

As long as you’ll be there by my side
I’m gonna love you for the rest of my life
Let’s love till the end of time
Let’s love till the sun don’t shine
I’m yours, your forever mine
I’m gonna love you, love you till the end of time

What You Get
03:39

V1
Sorry dad, I really wish I knew
That when I grew up, I’d be so much like you
I know I wasted time not knowing where to begin
But now we’re going from strangers to the closest of friends
Sorry sis, I know that I should call
But of common interest we have
little at all
But I love you so much and of it more I should say
and soon we'll have a conversation that lasts all day
Chorus
I'm so sorry
I'm not the best I could be
I'm still trying
But what you get is what you see
V2
Sorry mom, I should listen more
Bu
t you pay attention least to the ones you care most for
I'll be good I swear, no more scares ok
I couldn't handle it if cancer took you away
Sorry love, I'm just a pain in the ass
I know sometimes I'm withdrawn, but the moments pass
I'm selfish and sad, b
ut then so are you
But in the end I'm so lucky to be stuck with you.
Chorus
I'm so sorry
I'm not what you want me to be
I'm still trying
But what you get is what you see
V3
Sorry God I didn't pray much today
//And there's no tithe cause I had rent to pay
In you, I still believe
-
but I feel lost sometimes
And to the answers I need it seems you turn a blind eye
Chorus
I'm so sorry
For not keeping the faith I need
But Lord I'm still trying
But what you get is what you see
I’m so sorry
I’m still working on
me
And I’ll keep trying
But what you get is what you see
