You 04:00
Intro I just want this to be perfect. Verse 1 Baby, I wrote this song for you and every word I have written is true. So true. Every moment we lived still stick to me like glue. I've fallen head over heels for you, like in the storybooks. Please take a look and have a listen. Chorus You're what I'm missing. Don't second guess it. I'm reminiscing. Thinking bout our missions. I can't shake these feelings. You are my blessing. There's no competition cause you'll just keep on winning. And I'd cross any mountain or ocean just to be back by your side. Anytime, any place, anywhere. I don't care. Baby I don't mind. Verse 2 And all these feelings that I keep feeling. They pick me up, make me tough, sometimes it's rough but they still keep me believing. And I could write you thousands of letters about how no one could compare to you and about how no one's ever loved me better. Chorus You're what I'm missing. Don't second guess it. I'm reminiscing. Thinking bout our missions. I can't shake these feelings. You are my blessing. There's no competition cause you'll just keep on winning. And I'd cross any mountain or ocean just to be back by your side. Anytime, any place, anywhere. I don't care. Baby I don't mind. Bridge You're my deepest and darkest and wildest desire. The one who believes in me and keeps me inspired. The one who braved all and saved me from the fires. The one who won't give up on me. The one who'll take me higher, And I can't wait to be in your arms once again. Can't wait to chill under covers making jokes with my best friend. Can't wait to hug you and hold you and squeeze you and please you. De-stress you, release you. Believe me. I need YOU Chorus You're what I'm missing. Don't second guess it. I'm reminiscing. Thinking bout our missions. I can't shake these feelings. You are my blessing. There's no competition you'll just keep on winning. And I'd cross any mountain or ocean just to be back by your side. Anytime, any place, anywhere. I don't care Baby I don't mind. Outro You're what I'm missing. Don't second guess it. Can't shake these feelings. I know you are my blessing. Oh I'd cross any mountain or ocean just to be back by your side. Anytime, any place, anywhere. I don't care. Baby I don't mind. oooh ooooh I said I don't mind. hmm.

Whoooooooo Hook I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me. By making me believe that your love would never leave me. Now I've realized, every word you spoke was lies. You just had a good disguise. I couldn't see it in your eyes. Verse 1 So many days we'd speak about the same things but each time you'd speak, your stories would keep changing. I still don't know why you play this game you're playing. Pretend to love somebody only just to break them oh. Now every day since we don't speak no more my days have gotten darker than they have been before. Feels like I'm broken up right to my very core. Why was I not enough? I'm crying on this floor. Cause. Hook I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me. By making me believe that your love would never leave me. Now I've realized, every word you spoke was lies. You just had a good disguise. I couldn't see it in your eyes. Verse 2 I said, I fell from grace that day I fell for you. Traded my halo and wings for all your darkness and gloom. I saw that shooting star and thought my dreams could come true. But didn't know this was a game, I thought you only told me the truth. How did it still surprise me? If deep down I always knew? I should have left before this started instead I stayed and stuck it out with you. Now as I write all of these memories, I watch the pages turn to books. And all the money or the fame it brings could never give back what you took. OH Hook I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me. By making me believe that your love would never leave me. Oh Now I've realized, every word you spoke was lies. You just had a good disguise. I couldn't see it in your eyes. Bridge I hope you enjoy being alone while scrolling down on your phone and listening to this song aimlessly singing along as if you did nothing cause you were "just having fun". You played the game but I won, still can't believe that I'm gone. I wrote this song with you in mind dear. May it always be a reminder. Although lust has made you that much blinder. It still costs nothing to be kinder. Hook I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me. By making me believe that your love would never leave me. Now I've realized, every word you spoke was lies. You just had a good disguise. I couldn't see it in your eyes. Outro Hidden... Hidden Agenda... You've had a hidden... Hidden Agenda... I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me by making me believe that your love would never leave. Me.

Oooooooooh. Words cannot even express. The way I feel about you. We've built our life and we are blessed. Today's a dream come true. I've never felt such happiness. I need you by my side. I give you me eternally. For the rest of our lives. Please say that you'll stay mine my love. Forever and a day. Hold on to me and don't let go my love. You'll always take my breathe away. I've never felt such happiness. I need you by my side. I give you me eternally. For the rest of my life. The rest of our lives. Oooooooh

Betrayed 03:35
Verse 1 I opened up my heart to you and I told you things no one else knew. You still make me smile like no one could every single time I was next to you. You know it's true. The way you kissed my hand and held it tight. The way you hugged and held me on that night. Although something was wrong it still felt so right. But now I gotta fight to get you off my mind and press rewind. You know it's true. Chorus I wish I hadn't stayed. I wish I could forget your name. Because I was just a game you played. You had no right to treat me like your slave. I feel betrayed. Verse 2 You barely opened up at all. Your heart is black and you have no soul oh. Still I could make you smile. I was THAT girl. The one who could've broken down that concrete wall. You know it's true. I know you liked the way your hands felt on my skin. I know you like that I accepted you and your life of sin. Maybe we can go back to the beginning and start again. But next time we'll be better off as friends till the end. Chorus I wish I hadn't stayed. I wish I could forget your name. Because I was just a game you played. You had no right to treat me like your slave. I feel betrayed. I feel betrayed. I wish I hadn't stayed. (The way you kissed my hand and held it tight.) I wish I could forget your name. (The way you hugged and held me on that night.) Because I was just a game you played. (Although something was wrong it still felt so right.) You had no right to treat me like your slave. (But now I gotta fight to get you off my mind and press rewind) Bridge I feel betrayed it's true. I feel betrayed by you. Outro I wish I hadn't stayed. (Oh yeah) I wish I could forget your name. (I said I wish I could forget your name) Because I was just a game you played. (I was just a game you played. You had no right to treat me like your slave. (I feel betrayed.) I feel betrayed.

Verse 1 They say time is a healer but man I can't believe it. Cause there's not enough time that could pass to mend these cracks inside my heart. They say " one day you will find true love, so have some faith, just don't give up." Forget love man and forget you too. Don't act like you know what I've been through. It's been a constant struggle since I reached this earth, I dunno what I've done to you to deserve all of this, I don't know who I'd be if my life was just a breeze. But I know I can do anything and I can do it with such ease. Chorus So you went looking for love and money always lies. I was your one, I was your one. And every morning, early morning I was down to ride. I was your one, I was your one. Verse 2 At first we started on the same team and on those days we shared the same dreams. A time we wanted all the same things up until this madness started happening. Right now we stand divided. Our relationship's one sided. And I try not to be reminded. How I feel left too undecided. Oh it's me against you, and you against me. The good versus the evil. Since you see no in between. Chorus So you went looking for love and money always lies. I was your one, oh I was your one. And early morning, every morning I was down to ride. I was your one, I was your one. Bridge Please just stop what you are doing soon and then come to your full senses too. For the longer this continues you are the one who will regret it. Oops, I said regret, wait, what I mean is please end this. It's so hard to keep pretending. Do you know what my friends think? Do you know what my friends think? They think you're crazy. ooooooh. yeah Don't you know Don't you know Don't you know boy, Don't you know boy. I was the one for you. Don't you know boy. Don't you know boy. I was the one for you. It's true.

Samael 05:02
Intro Low (repeat 16 times) Verse 1 Listen, you broken my heart into bits. Remember my words for the sins you commit. And to think I used to call you Mr Legit. But now I call you Samael, I think you know that it fits. You're as cold and as cruel as the punisher of hell. So go back and stay there I hope they lock you in a cell. In the cell I hope you feel all of the pain that you have caused. I hope they throw away the key. I hope your pain is never paused. Chorus I got to keep on walking. There's no use in trying. You've got to stop your talking. Baby, I know you've been lying. You just keep ignoring. But I can't keep denying. Now this is our story. I'm the only one who's crying. Verse 2 I turned my emotions off. I went M.I.A. I wondered how you could just give up. How could you throw all my love away? I should have know it from the very start. I'm just a game that you would play. And now I've always known you were very smart. So I'm left with nothing more to say. Except.. Chorus I got to keep on walking. There's no use in trying. You've got to stop your talking. Baby, I know you've been lying. You just keep ignoring. But I can't keep denying. Now this is our story. I'm the only one who's crying. ooooooooooohhhhhh whoooooooooooooo Ah Verse 3 You think you're a rebel. I think you're the devil. You said I was special. I felt so sentimental. Then you showed me pure evil. So I gave up on people. You said: " Baby, I need you." I should have known it was too good to be true. I said... Chorus I got to keep on walking. There's no use in trying. You got to stop your talking. Baby, I know you've been lying. You just keep ignoring. But I can't keep denying. Now this is our story. And I'm the only one who's crying. I got to keep on walking. There's no use in trying. You got to stop your talking. Baby, I know you've been lying. You just keep ignoring. But I can't keep denying. Oh,now this is our story. And I'm the only one who's crying Bridge I've been sitting missing someone on a mission. I still can't believe it, I'm not the one you're kissing. You said I was your best friend now I know that you were kidding. So before you break my spirit more, I believe I must be leaving. Chorus I got to keep on walking (walking walking) There's no use in trying. (trying trying) You got to stop your talking. (talking talking) Oh baby, I know you've been lying. (lying lying) You just keep ignoring. (ignoring ignoring) But I can't keep denying. (denying denying) Now this is our story. (our story our story) And I'm the only one who's crying (crying) I said, I'm the only one who's crying. Outro Got to keep on I got to keep on walking I said I got to keep on I got to keep on walking I got to keep on I got to keep on walking You got to stop your talking. You got to stop your talking.
