#1 - NOT A FAIRYTALE
You’re afraid of your past haunting you
And all the things that people say and do
I’m afraid of what the future has to bring
And all the pain that could come and haunt me
You’re afraid of all the violence
And I’m afraid of my own mind
You want to leave and get out easy
But there isn’t always another way you’ll find
Life is not a fairytale
You can’t always get what you want
Try your best, but if you fail
You gotta keep moving on
And on and on and on
Just let go of all of your fear
Don’t look back, the end could be near
Sometimes you gotta live on the edge
To experience what life really is
Just be smart and don’t let yourself down
To the point where you want to leave town
Of all decisions that you’ll have to make
Think of promises you could potentially break
Life is not a fairytale
You can’t always get what you want
Try your best, but if you fail
You gotta keep moving on
And on and on and on
You’re not here just to stay
Go discover your own way
Go to where you want to be
And don’t you agree with me that
Life is not a fairytale
You can’t always get what you want
Try your best, but if you fail
You gotta keep moving on
Life is not a fairytale
You can’t always get what you want
Try your best, but if you fail
You gotta keep moving on
And on and on and on
You’re afraid of your past haunting you
And all the things that people say and do
I’m afraid of what the future has to bring
And all the pain that could come and haunt me
You’re afraid of all the violence
And I’m afraid of my own mind
You want to leave and get out easy
But there isn’t always another way you’ll find
Life is not a fairytale
You can’t always get what you want

#2 - JUST HAVE TO STAY
I just want to walk out the door
I just want to lie and cry on the floor
All I know is all of the pain
Slowly it's starting to drive me insane
All this hurt I'm feeling right now
Takes me up into the clouds
Why am I letting it take control of my life
This big sea of lies
Why would you, how could you
Lead yourself into the darkness
I hope forgiveness will come to me
But that's as hard as flying away
It's not what I want, but I just have to stay
I'm so through with all of the fights
I hardly can sleep at all through the night
Thoughts are stirring around in my head
They tell me to leave, but I stay here instead
I just need some different place
A place where I can be alone with some space
To figure out how I feel
And get rid of the pain, so I live something real
Why would you, how could you
Lead yourself into the darkness
I hope forgiveness will come to me
But that's as hard as flying away
It's not what I want, but I just have to stay
Why would you, how could you
Lead yourself into the darkness
I hope forgiveness will come to me
But that's as hard as flying away
Why would you, how could you
Lead yourself into the darkness
I hope forgiveness will come to me
But that's as hard as flying away
It's not what I want, but I just have to stay
I just want to walk out the door
I just want to lie and cry on the floor
All I know is all of the pain
Slowly it's starting to drive me insane
All this hurt I'm feeling right now
Takes me up into the clouds
Why am I letting it take control of my life
This big sea of lies
Why would you, how could you
Lead yourself into the darkness
I hope forgiveness will come to me
But that's as hard as flying away
It's not what I want, but I just have to stay
I'm so through with all of the fights
I hardly can sleep at all through the night

Lead yourself into the darkness
I hope forgiveness will come to me
But that's as hard as flying away
It's not what I want, but I just have to stay
#3 - UNDERNEATH THE SUN
The sky is all hazy
It's blocking the sun
Can't see where I'm going
Not sure where I've begun
Where will my path lead to
My vision's far from clear
I need to find someplace to hide
Till the light shines through to here
I hope I'm heading in the right direction
In the place that I want to be
And every night I pray to God
That He's looking out for me
He tells me I should keep on going
And the day is not yet done
And one day I'll have everything
Underneath the sun
The fog's almost blinding
I'm stuck in the road
I don't know how much longer
I can bear this heavy load
Step by step, I find my strength
And I know some way, somehow
I'll wind up on a better road
Than the one I'm on right now
I hope I'm heading in the right direction
In the place that I want to be
And every night I pray to God
That He's looking out for me
He tells me I should keep on going
And the day is not yet done
And one day I'll have everything
Underneath the sun
Well there's no time for worrying
That you've gone off way too far
Your heart will lead you back
To who you know you really are
This road has been crazy
I'm still far from done
I've come such a long, long way
Though my race is not yet won
But when you think about it
The meaning's kind of clear
A journey starts with one small step
That's a step away from here
I hope I'm heading in the right direction
In the place that I want to be
And every night I pray to God
That He's looking out for me
He tells me I should keep on going
And the day is not yet done
And one day I'll have everything
Underneath the sun
I hope I'm heading in the right direction
In the place that I want to be
And every night I pray to God
That He's looking out for me
He tells me I should keep on going
And the day is not yet done
And one day I'll have everything
Underneath the sun
Oh someday I'll have everything
The sky is all hazy
It's blocking the sun
Can't see where I'm going
Not sure where I've begun
Where will my path lead to
My vision's far from clear
I need to find someplace to hide
Till the light shines through to here
I hope I'm heading in the right direction
In the place that I want to be
And every night I pray to God

#4 - GIVE ME ONE DAY
I'm done with all the games
Life is trying to play on me
I'm tired of tripping over obstacles
That won't set me free, yeah
Some time to just let loose is
Time where we're all trying to find
Just give us some leeway
and let us party like we feel so alive

The weight of the world can be lifted off our shoulders, and
Give me one chance, maybe 24 hours, where
We can forget about everything and celebrate

One that sure looks good to me
Yes, for once we can all feel
Set free, yeah
For a little while, we can
Escape all of life's trouble, yeah

#6 - NEW GIRL
I'm tired of sittin' around and watching this clock turn
I really wanna get out and do something wild
Get some money and some new tight jeans
A head that's full of crazy dreams
Oh I've had enough of living like a child
Oh I'm the new girl in town
All wild and set free
I'm doing anything I wanna do
Nobody's stopping me, cause
I'm running restless in this little town
That's all new to me
Everywhere I've been before today is just a blur
Now I gotta run wild and I gotta be free
No fear and no regret
Oh you ain't seen me out there yet
But when you do, I promise you
You won't believe it's me
Oh I'm the new girl in town
All wild and set free
I'm doing anything I wanna do
Nobody's stopping me, cause
I'm running restless in this little town
That's all new to me
Yeah you're gonna see a different side of me
But you know, even if you don't, I'm only here temporarily
No time for looking back, no cause to look ahead
And I got no reason to look away
Some people talk and other people look
My life ain't something from a storybook
I'm just a girl who lives her life her way
Oh I'm the new girl in town
All wild and set free
I'm doing anything I wanna do
Nobody's stopping me, cause
I'm running restless in this little town
That's all new to me
Oh I'm the new girl in town

#7 - LOOKING BACK
Watching the sunset go down at the beach
Singing with my family
Crazy flag football, and then poker at night
I wish I could stay, Cause everything felt so right
Those were the best times
Singing our favorite songs when they came on the radio
Those summer nights, they'd all pass by
Looking back, wanting to stop the clock
And live in that moment some more
All of us felt so secure
Going down to Texas to visit that ranch
With my cousins, uncles and aunts
Even when we all had to watch out for snakes
We always had fun anyway
Those were the best times
Singing our favorite songs when they came on the radio
Those summer nights, they'd all pass by
Looking back, wanting to stop the clock
And live in that moment some more
All of us felt so secure
Hanging out with all of my friends after church
We went on some adventures
Walking down the highways, dancing in the rain
Yeah, we did some crazy things
Those were the best times
Singing our favorite songs when they came on the radio

#8 - ROLLERCOASTER
They don't know who you are
But they think they do
Sometimes, certain things
They just can't seem to see through
They play their games, they call you names
They want to see your anger
But they can't change who you are
And that's what you need to remember
Rollercoaster of life
Hang on tight for the ride
Stay true to yourself even when you feel like you're
Falling again
Sometimes you can't speak
And you don't understand anything's meaning
Who cares if they're right or wrong
The point is that you will stay strong
Rollercoaster of life
Hang on tight for the ride
Stay true to yourself even when you feel like you're
Falling again

#9 - SHE COULD BE YOU
Every morning she wakes up
Just to walk to work
So she can help her family
Nothing, not even a complaint comes from her
Because she knows they need her
She could be me
She could be you
And if she is, here's to you
Keep up the fight
And I know you'll get through
I wish I was as strong as you
Every night when she says her prayers
She thanks God for her day
All I know is it must take a big person
To put it that way
She could be me
She could be you
And if she is, here's to you
Keep up the fight
And I know you'll get through
I wish I was as strong as you
And when need to lift her up
On higher ground
People like her
Need to be found
She could be me
She could be you
And if she is, here's to you
Keep up the fight
And I know you'll get through
I wish I was as strong as you
She could be me
She could be you
And if she is, here's to you

#10 - FOOTSTEPS
So many memories here in this place
Like all the fun games that we used to play
There's so much we left behind in this town
Our footsteps might as well be engraved in the ground
All our footsteps behind, footsteps behind
Those moments in our life make me want to cry
So many memories here you can find
I never want to have to say goodbye
All of the places I went when I was younger
Pass by in the blink of an eye
I can't explain all the friendships I built
And I'll love them til' the day that I die
All our footsteps behind, footsteps behind
Those moments in our life make me want to cry
So many memories here you can find
I never want to have to say goodbye
But some enough some of us will split up
All our footsteps behind, footsteps behind
Those moments in our life make me want to cry
So many memories here you can find
I never want to have to say goodbye
But some enough some of us will split up, but
Only to come back in the end
To reunite with those footsteps we left behind
So many memories here in this place
Like all the fun games that we used to play
There's so much we left behind in this town
Our footsteps might as well be engraved in the ground
All our footsteps behind, footsteps behind
Those moments in our life make me want to cry
