Don't Know Me at All

Sometimes I lose my mind with all the time I have on my hands
It isn't easy living life especially without a plan
I'm pacing back and forth inside the cage that is in my head
The work is easy but the hours are long and I'm bored to death
I'm on the third season of breaking bad and I'm bored to death
If the apocalypse is here then maybe this is the end
Chorus:
You sleep beside me but you don't know me at all
We eat together but you don't know me at all
You think you love me but you don't know me at all
And I can't help you cuz I don't love me at all
Is it Monday or Friday
I don't know I think I lost track
Who knew the new playstation
Was the straw that broke her back
She loves the way I kiss her but she hates the way I detach
And never come back
We all have contradictions
Some of us have more than the rest
She does what gives her pleasure
And I do what I think is best
My memories are faded
But her mind is sharp as a tack
She never forgets
Chorus:
You sleep beside me but you don't know me at all
We eat together but you don't know me at all
You think you love me but you don't know me at all
And I can't help you cuz I don't love me at all

Watch Out
02:35

You try to leave me again and again
You say that you'll tell your friends
All your friends
You crocodile you've got tears with no end
You've got tears with no end end end
What do you want tell me now
Tell me now
Can't read your mind
Tell me how
Tell me how
Can't feel the pull of your strings
I'm not a puppet I'm a real real boy
Watch out
She's a real great pretender
Watch out
She's a real great pretender
Why do we have to play games
Yes play games
We love each other the same
Yes the same
Your ammunition is my honesty
You've become a part of me
Don't fight yourself now
I need a moment to think
You need another drink
I am the king of petty
You're a drama queen
If you are so afraid of being loved
Then find a new hobby
Because pretending just isn't for me
Watch out
She's a real great pretender
Watch out
She's a real great pretender
Watch out
She's a real great pretender
Watch out
She's a real great pretender

Under the lights
I'm feeling so cold
I've not held your body in what feels like so long
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
I know you were right
And I was so wrong
But I get so defensive when I feel that you're gone
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
It's true it's true now
I was a fool now
For ever thinking
I can do anything without you
I was so mad
Was blind and deaf
I couldn't understand now
That just because we fight doesn't mean we're broken
Under the lights
I'm feeling so cold
I've not held your body in what feels like so long
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
I know you were right
And I was so wrong
But I get so defensive when I feel that you're gone
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
Another cycle
Here we go again
And for that pride
Let it slide
And let's try this again
Cuz just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
I know that you've been hurt before
I promise that you will hurt no more
Under the lights
I'm feeling so cold
I've not held your body in what feels like so long
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
I know you were right
And I was so wrong
But I get so defensive when I feel that you're gone
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
Just because we fight it doesn't mean we're broken
That's the one
That's the one
That's the one
That's the one
That's the one
That's the one
That's the one
That's the one

Heart Matters
04:55

Romance isn't more than a game
I already know
Cuz there's something about the chase
That feels so irresistible
I've been burned alive at the stake
So many times before
So I'll take one for the team
Wacha nifungue roho
I like Martha's neck
I like Olive's little pretty feet
I like Wanja's hair
I like Fridah's lips and pearly teeth
For great conversation I call up Kerubo
Anne gives great massages
And Faith's a freak on the low
By suppertime I hate myself and swear I will stop
By the morning I am groaning and I need me some love
My validation is flirtation
It's never enough
Called you a cab
While you called me names
And deep down inside
I said never again
The truth of the matter is love matters no more
I've got questions galore
And they're bugging me like
Do we break up at your place
Break up at mine
Should I call
Should I text
Should I do it online
Do I give you space or hold you tight
when you start to cry
When it comes to heart matters
Woah
I don't know how to act
When it comes to heart matters
Woah
I don't know how to act
Hey I've got a problem I'm so insecure
I follow my impulses like I'm immature
I always take my chance with someone beautiful
And brag about it later cuz I'm boastful
Hey there sister with the old soul
Come a little closer
Tell me what you know
What does that tattoo mean and where does it go?
Some wine with conversation helps the words flow
Hey señorita
It's really nice to meet you
Unless we've already met before
I've been looking at the time
And I've called an Uber ride
Cuz it's late I really need to go
Here's the thing
If you finish up your drink
We could leave this place and go explore
All the mysteries of the night
All the corners of your mind
No one has made me feel this way before
By suppertime I hate myself and swear I will stop
By the morning I am groaning and I need me some love
My validation is flirtation, it's never enough
Called you a cab
While you called me names
And deep down inside
I said never again
The truth of the matter is love matters no more
I've got questions galore
And they're bugging me like
Do we break up at your place
Break up at mine
Should I call
Should I text
Should I do it online
Do I give you space or hold you tight
when you start to cry
Woah
When it comes to heart matters
Woah
I don't know how to act
When it comes to heart matters
Woah
I don't know how to act

I'm addicted to your smile
Woah oh
I haven't seen for a while
Woah oh
I'll give you a call
Just to hear you answer in that dreamy voice
But I don't wanna be your boyfriend
No no
No no
I see your face up in the moon
Woah oh
I smell your scent when flowers bloom
Woah oh
And when I want to kiss your skin
Woah oh
Just don't know where to begin
Woah oh
I'll give you a call
Just to hear you answer in that dreamy voice
Ah
But I don't wanna be your boyfriend
No no
No no
I don't want to be your
Boyfriend
I don't want to be your
Boyfriend
I don't want to be your
Boyfriend
I don't want to be your
Boyfriend
I'll give you a call
Just to hear you answer in that dreamy voice
Ah
But I don't wanna be your boyfriend
No no
No no
I don't wanna be your boyfriend
No no
No no
