The grass ain't always greener on the other side. Its been pale shades of grey since you ain't been around. Its just that things things got so serious and it really made me curious if I made the right choice when I said you are the one. I never realized how much i love you but I know that some day I'll get through. I'm going to find a way, I'm going to find my way back to you. Back to you. Back to you. You don't know how it pains me to know what I know. To think of how you love me and how I let you go. I'm reviewing all of my mistakes and every time I do my heart just breaks. Was I right all along when I said you are the one? I never realized how much i love you but I know that some day I'll get through. I'm going to find a way, I'm going to find my way back to you. Back to you. Back to you. Be careful. Be careful what you wish for. Cuz' you might just receive. Yeah you might just receive.

I’ve never been one to believe in a higher power greater than me But you wouldn’t even believe the inexplainable things that I have seen with my own eyes. I’ve seen ghosts, fear and pain. I’ve seen love conquer and reign with my own eyes. Now I believe in the moon, in the sun, in the laughter of a child to guide me home. Guide me home. At first I didn’t realize that I’ve been on a journey but then I was given a light that allowed me to see in the darkness with my own eyes. I’ve seen ghosts, fear and pain. I’ve seen love conquer and reign with my own eyes. Now I believe in the moon, in the sun, in the laughter of a child to guide me home. Guide me home.

Honey 03:43
Honey I'm leaving. And I know that you don't care but I'm letting you know in case you find me in your heart. Hush now, don't say it. Lets pretend for a moment that you'll try to stop me from giving up on love. What am I without love? What are you without trust? What are we to each other? You go ahead and forget me and I will regret, but you won't find another who will be just as insane. Who will be just as dirranged. Who will be just as crazy about you. Honey I hate you. Let me say it one more time then maybe I'll believe it. I hate you. I hate you so much. I need some kind of sign to tell me where to go next on this bullshit journey that I've have going on. What am I without love? What are you without trust? What are we to each other? You go ahead and forget me and I will regret, but you won't find another who will be just as insane. Who will be just as dirranged. Who will be just as crazy about you. I am leaving. Honey I am leaving.

I thought that by now I'd have it all figured out. The pieces of my life would fall into place. But I'm starting to see it begins with me. I have to do more than just dream. That's why I'm leaving. Gotta follow my heart, pack my bags and go far. I am meant to do more. I am meant to. See something. Do something. Feel something new. See something. Do something. Feel something new. Say what you want to say. It won't stand in my way. I finally know what I want. For the first time in my life I'm not looking for advice. I'm doing what's right for me. That's why I'm leaving. Gotta follow my heart, pack my bags and go far. I am meant to do more. I am meant to. See something. Do something. Feel something new. See something. Do something. Feel something new.

Don't Go 03:04
To be perfectly honest. I am scared to be honest when it comes to you. Its just that the way that I feel has made me reveal things I wish weren't true. That everytime I find you, I am losing all of me. And I do not have you I feel so incomplete. Don't go. If you knew just how much I care then you would not dare not feel the same for me. You'd forgive all my choices, fill my world with roses and pancakes late at night. Cuz' everytime I find you, I am losing all of me. And I do not have you I feel so incomplete. Don't go.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I was raised under the Dominican sun sipping on papaya milk shakes. My mama told me we're moving to America to join your sister and your dad. That is how I ended up with my American Dream. That is how I ended up with my American dream. I just want to sing. I just want to sing. I just want to sing. Its my American dream. I come from a long line of bodegueros, yea you know how that goes. All we ever talk about is food and taxes. My brother took over the family business and my sisters, well they're all set, married with kids and their own white picked fence. That is how I ended up with my American Dream. That is how I ended up with my American dream. I just want to sing. I just want to sing. I just want to sing. Its my American dream. Let me tell you a little about myself, I was raised under the Dominican sun.

Waiting 03:08
This isn't the way I thought that it would be. I thought that he would always love me. But when his smile began to fade and fighting lead the way. I knew that things were going to change. But its only time and it will go by. And there's really no reason to cry. Because love is only love. And you will rise above. Its only a matter of waiting now. No this isn't the way I thought that it would be. You see love didn't come to me that easily. And I didn't want to let go because I didn't want to be alone. Misery does love company. But now I see. That its only time and it will go by. And there's really no reason to cry. Because love is only love. And you will rise above. Its only a matter of waiting now. Waiting Waiting waiting...

You Make Me 03:08
You make me feel sick to my stomach. And every time you laugh my heart plummits. You give me butterflies and I swear I'm going to die. I guess that's how you know I like you. What if I asked you to be mine? What if I asked you to be mine? Would you say yes? Would you say yes? What if I asked you to be mine. You make me want to be a vegetarian. You make me more nervous than anything. You make me want to hide from all the truth I hold inside. I guess that's how you know I like you. What if I asked you to be mine? What if I asked you to be mine? Would you say yes? Would you say yes? What if I asked you to be mine. You make me forget that time is moving. Should I take a picture so I don't lose it? You make me want to be nobody else but just me. I guess that's how you know I like you. I guess that's how you know I like you.

Sometimes 03:46
Geoff called me a tornado. Joe called me a forest fire. Rick says that nothing makes me happy. I don't mean to be a natural disaster. Its just that my love can be sharper than a knife. Tell me that you love me and I will break your heart because that is what I do sometimes. Or teach me how laugh and I will give you everything because that is what I do sometimes. I have kissed you with my lies. Smiled at you with innocent eyes. I watched you fall for me, I watched you crumble. Warm enough to make you burn, sweet enough to make you return. I wish that for once I could love me too. Tell me that you love me and I will break your heart because that is what I do sometimes. Or teach me how laugh and I will give you everything because that is what I do sometimes. I don't want to make you cry. But I can only give you what I feel inside.

I have broken your heart too many times while you have opened mine. Every time you try to walk away. I know just what to say. But the truth is I don't know how to love you the way that you want me to. But I do, I do, I do. I love you, you, you. More than myself. I don't know if this will last but I know I'm not ready to give up. And yes I see that we've been here before and maybe you don't want to go back. But the truth is I don't know how to love you the way that you want me to. But I do, I do, I do. I love you, you, you. More than myself. Maybe you will find another reason why I am not the one for you. But I do, I do, I do. I love you, you, you. More than myself.

Crash & Burn 03:52
I've been waiting for you to fall harder than ever before. I want you to crash and fall for me harder than I've ever seen. Cuz' I forgot to forget it all. And my heart won't let you go. Time hasn't changed, time hasn't changed a thing. I want you to break down. I want to break down. I want to break down and love me, love me. love me. I've been dreaming of that single kiss, that two second moment of eternal bliss when I can say that the wait is over because I just can't stand your cold shoulder. The worst kind of pain is unrequited love. To realize just how alone you are. Time hasn't changed, time hasn't changed a thing. I want you to break down. I want to break down. I want to break down and love me, love me. love me.

So Long 03:31
You say that you love me. I love that you love. You say that you want me. I want you to want me. Because I'm just so scared that our love ain't there. We've been searching so long, but "so long" is what keeps us togehter. I'm not really sure that this is worth the fight. And I know that you can't stand to see me cry. I don't want to hurt you. I just don't know how to love you. Hurry, catch me. This is an emergency. Sometimes I wish that you would break up with me. So that I don't have to be the one to blame for why this came to an end. I am so afraid of being lonely but I can't remember being happy. I've been waiting so long to see you smile. I've been waiting so long. You say that you need me, but do you think that you actually need me? Because I think we both know you're better off without me. Because I'm just so scared that our love ain't there. We've been searching so long, but "so long" is what keeps us togehter. I'm not really sure that this is worth the fight. And I know that you can't stand to see me cry. I don't want to hurt you. I just don't know how to love you. Hurry, catch me. This is an emergency. Sometimes I wish that you would break up with me. So that I don't have to be the one to blame for why this came to an end. I am so afraid of being lonely but I can't remember being happy. I've been waiting so long to see you smile. I've been waiting so long.
