Why Can't You Be A Man?
It's a cruel game of cat and mouse,
Like today when I went to town,
You looked so thin and no one knew,
What sort of thoughts go around you,
You looked so tiny and helpless,
You looked exactly like a mess,
I should hate you but I love you,
What are my thoughts on you? no clue,
It's hard to let go of the love that was always there and still is,
It's hard to forget 'bout the pain when life isn't fair and I wish,
Why am I not enough?
Why do you live so rough?
I feel guilty when I feel happy because why do I feel that,
For a minute I'm laughing with my friends but then it comes right back,
Why am I so useless?
Why can't you be a man?
I've heard sorry so many times,
I've thought of a million rhymes,
I am attacked by this one fear,
That when you're gone and not so near,
I will collapse and cry all day,
So what do you want me to say?
They all say it will get better,
But it will only get much worse,
How many games can one man play?
For each game there's a new tear,
How many times can one girl stay?
The letters you send are clear,
Don't say thank you for answering another drunk call,
Don't say thank you for breaking another damn fall,
Don't say I'm sorry for all the pain,
Don't say I'm sorry for all my shame,
I'm sixteen, should be feeling free,
But I'm trapped here with me,

Take Each Step With You
I don't know where I'm headin' down this road,
They say I should know where I want to go,
A new path, more mistakes, keep my head low,
Hide myself from wolf packs, I still don't know,
Who to turn to,
How to push through,
I'm all alone, at home,that's all I know,
Gotta trust my heart,
Even though you break up the dark,
I gotta take on this world alone,
I wanna take each step with you,
The easy and the right,
Aren't always in the same fight,
Is that why I'm all alone at night,
Wishing you were here, my shining light,
What I would wish for you to be here, might take a while,
But someday I'll have you,
Maybe this is a mission,
From my position,
I'm at the front,
I want to run,
But I'll fight for you,
I don't know where I'm headin' down this road,
They say I should know where I want to go,
A new path, more mistakes, keep my head low,
Hide myself from wolf packs, I still don't know,
Who to turn to,
How to push through,
I'm all alone, at home,that's all I know,
Gotta trust my heart,
Even though you break up the dark,
I gotta take on this world alone,
I wanna take each step with you,
The easy and the right,
Aren't always in the same fight,
Is that why I'm all alone at night,
Wishing you were here, my shining light,
What I would wish for you to be here, might take a while,
But someday I'll have you,
Maybe this is a mission,
From my position,
I'm at the front,
I want to run,
But I'll fight for you,
I can't tell you I'm sorry 'cause I'm not,
I can't tell you I'm wrong 'cause I'm not,
But I can say that we are both so lost,
"La sangre llama" I guess you forgot,
Every day I try to prove that I'm right,
I have backbone, won't leave with no fight,
You want me to be somebody better,
How can I be when I think I'm just fine?
There's a fire between us,
We're at war with one another,
Sick of being undercover,
I lie for you,
I've cried for you,
There's a demon in you,
They made you cold, the story's old,
You like the drama to unfold,
I'd help you but,
Your heart is shut,
There's a fire between us,
I'm not to sure what happened here,
One minute we were close,
Now you're no where near,
Smiles are fading,
We're both feeling broken,
And I should avoid saying,
Anything to do with,
The elephant in the room,
Oh oh me and you
We were so close,
But so close we burnt,
The fire between us,
Is making us learn
Right from wrong

Listen To The Bluebirds My Butterfly
Verse
oh sweetie, close your eyes
its a terrible place
you will see outside
the good, the bad and the truth
one day all waits for you
dont believe what everyone says
most of the time
they will be hiccups
to ruin your days
just listen to yourself
dont trust anyone else
but me
oh oh belive
chorus
oh listen sweetie
to the blubirds
you're my butterfly
try to rule the world
my little buttercup
oh one day you will slip up
but busy bee
listen to me
ill help you on that hard day
ill help you on your way
verse
try not to be scared
when you look up
you're my little angel
sent from above
outside its freezing cold
honey dont ever grow old
dont leave my side
dont ever try to hide
oh oh

little hands
reach for the sky
little dreams
make me sing oh my
all the hope
i have for you

and follow your dreams
so they come true
