Alright, you know it's Bleed These Colours No, never in the laundry way 'Less you talking interracial couple And some lingerie You might not know it yet But y'all need me in your face today 'Cause, honestly, tell me the last time A kid this colour graced the stage And I'm not talking 'bout this black stuff But these white tunes too Making all types of girls kiss chase Like we in primary school Sorry for offending, I'm an artist I only write what I feel Words are my weapons, I'm a disaster If I don't say what's real

She Don't 04:56
Baby girl, I get now's not the right time But I hope to see you soon 'Cause if there's one thing to know It's that I'm stuck on loving you, on loving you And wasting space As these last three years flew on by With a fate to choose Forgive and forget, or surrender and die And I know Life tends to turn plans on their heads But that didn't make it hurt any less To watch you grow up and go And maybe if I said Press your lips against mine, would you decline? In the end, I don't mind No more tears left to cry behind But Y-O-U-R L-O-V-E, that's all I need Y-O-U-R L-O-V-E, to be happy Y-O-U-R L-O-V-E, that's all I need Y-O-U-R L-O-V-E, but you don't want me No oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh, mama mama Why ay ay ay, ay ay ay, mama mama No oh oh oh, whoa oh oh, mama mama Why ay ay ay, ay ay ay Baby girl, I get there's probably never a right time But I'm hoping when I hit the stage And make a name You'll come running from a mile, from a mile And waking the neighbours at 3 a.m. With the same ol' songs With the same four chords writing to work out Where we went oh-so wrong I know Life tends to turn plans on their heads But that didn't make it hurt any less To watch you grow up and go And maybe if I said Press your lips against mine, would you decline? In the end, I don't mind No more tears left to cry behind But Y-O-U-R L-O-V-E, that's all I need Y-O-U-R L-O-V-E, to be happy Y-O-U-R L-O-V-E, that's all I need Y-O-U-R L-O-V-E, but you don't want me No oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh, mama mama Why ay ay ay, ay ay ay, mama mama No oh oh oh, whoa oh oh, mama mama Why ay ay ay, ay ay ay Mama mama, no no, she don't want me Mama, no no, she don't need me Mama, does she even miss me? Mama, you're meant to know these things You're meant to know these things [x3] These things These things These things now Mama, mama, mama, mama [x4] Mama

Say This 04:14
(Oh) I could say this I could say that But I know it will never make a difference That's a matter of fact Put the truth on the track 'Cause you've got a new man, a new man [x2] Hey! Posting happy times on your timeline – stop that I was your first love, you cannot ever top that I'm the best you'll ever have, let's face it You can search the world over, but you'll never find a better Replacement, I'm jaded, memories are fading Kept every gift you gave in a box with no labels Loving you used to be so simple, now look at us We use our hands on other people, it's ridiculous I'm sick of this, lost in the world without this music thing But thanks to you, I'mma make it big I'mma be a king, blasting to the stars When I sign on dotted lines and break some charts Ayo, celebrating with a bubble beverage Standing proud like my name's Everest Mounting all these plaques on my wall, yeah For now I'mma start out small, yeah Keep it real, hold it down, stay humble I could say this I could say that But I know it will never make a difference That's a matter of fact Put the truth on the track 'Cause you've got a new man, a new man [x2] Hey! Tell me, tell me Will you ever remember my name and face? 'Cause I know you no longer think of me Anymore [x2] Da doo da doo Does he ever sing songs for you? Da doo da doo Like I do? Da doo da doo Does he ever sing songs for you? Da doo da doo (Oh) I could say this I could say that But I know it will never make a difference That's a matter of fact Put the truth on the track 'Cause you've got a new man, a new man [x2] Hey! Tell me, tell me Will you ever remember my name and face? 'Cause I know you no longer think of me Anymore [x2] Da doo da doo Does he ever sing songs for you? Da doo da doo Like I do? Da doo da doo Does he ever sing songs for you? Da doo da doo -- oooh I could say this I could say that Oh, I could say this I could say that [x2] God knows I could say this [...] I could say this I could say that Don't you know? [...]

And I still remember everything that you said Burned in my eyes, straight to the back of my head And I can't help but think of you and him in that bed Screaming out "Love me! Love me!" And I wish I was more like you instead Moved on in six months with no regrets And I can't help but think of you and him in that bed Screaming out Yo, we moved on with our lives But you moved on and in While I wait for the van to arrive I know this furniture won't fit That's why I'm writing these rhymes At what point do I quit? How about when the cash rolls They grow too thick (thick, thick) To keep locked in my pockets I'm like a young rocket Aiming among the stars Landing on boulevards But first I gotta work real hard Fame's the only game Suited to fade these scars You painted in glow-in-the-dark No one escapes a broken heart 'Cause you can use tape or glue But cracks remain under Like this stained glass In my mind reserved for ya To share this story first-hand Of this first world complaining You're a part of me, it's true Even if a part of me's no longer in you Now that's a task upheld by someone else Can't get over the fact You still went and chose someone else I'm super great Lookie at me here doing my thing Got groupies moving While the rest of the crowd sing Show-stopping, eyeballs popping Here's a marker, you keep score Blood pumping, close the curtain Is this really what you take me for? Better than the rest, I took the test Know I didn't fail, I gave it all I got Dressed to impress, surely nothing less A single silver bullet gave it, my best shot And I still remember everything that you said Burned in my eyes, straight to the back of my head And I can't help but think of you and him in that bed Screaming out "Love me! Love me!" And I wish I was more like you instead And I wish I was more like you instead Oh, I wish I was more like you instead

Hushed Cries 04:34
I get it's best just to move on But you're real good for a sad song Yet another pop hit in the mix Played back to back, pistols at dawn You've been Swifted, now tell me Is such a normal thing that wrong? Sincerely, not really 'cause I clearly Loved you so dearly for so long (Bass) I try to avoid the idea That if I wrote to you sometime A simple hello, hey or hi Just might have turned the tide So I would no longer be waking With weary eyes, staring at night skies Hushed cries in my pillow People ask how I stay so calm I simply remind 'em to breathe But our memories never fail To bring the anger out of me Listen, I'm happy that you're happy But I hate that you're laughing Seeing red lights like in traffic Drives me psychopathic – back it up Back it up now I try to avoid the idea That if I wrote to you sometime A simple hello, hey or hi Just might have turned the tide So I would no longer be waking With weary eyes, staring at night skies Hushed cries in my pillow Remember when you gave me your all Right there on my bedroom floor Everything made sense way back then Now you're someone else's friend Quick, I need a paper and pen now To process this the only way I know how But there's no space on the page I try to avoid the idea That if I wrote to you sometime A simple hello, hey or hi Just might have turned the tide So I would no longer be waking With weary eyes, staring at night skies Hushed cries in my pillow [x2] Hushed cries in my pillow [x4]

Even when the sun is out I still feel so cold I still feel so cold I thought that you ought to know Even when I scream out loud I can't help but feel alone Maybe I should give up hope Or maybe I should just go home When the sun is ah ah ah out Ah ah ah out Yeah
