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

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

(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? [...]

More Like You
03:40

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]

When The Sun Is Out
01:09

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
