I Can Breathe Again

Lyrics, ,

Every night I wake
As the screaming starts
I’m just gasping for air
To slow my racing heart
I try hard to forget
So I’ll play hide and seek
With these feelings inside
I never wish to meet
I’m ok for now
But it just won’t last
These feelings I hide
They won’t stay in the past

I need a future
Where this doesn’t happen
Just waiting for the day
When I can breathe again
I just need to know
Will it ever end
I’m tired of waiting
When can I breathe again

Just below to surface
I can feel those I hide
I still wake up gasping
I’m too tired to fight
People say talking helps
So on the couch I lie
The way things are now
It couldn’t hurt to try
Hiding hadn’t worked
Neither had pretending
This is my last hope
Of this nightmare ending

I need a future
Where this doesn’t happen
Just waiting for the day
When I can breathe again
I just need to know
Will it ever end
I’m tired of waiting
When can I breathe again

Screaming, gunshots, blood everywhere
Things I can’t hide behind my blank stare
Since that day I’ve been quite scared
Maybe it’s time I started to share

I need a future
Where this doesn’t happen
Just waiting for the day
When I can breathe again
I just need to know
Will it ever end
I’m tired of waiting
When can I breathe again

Love

Nowhere

Lyrics, ,

The world keeps spinning
But I’m not really here
There’s a fog around me
It doesn’t seem to clear
Some distant memories
Are clouding my mind
Of a time I can’t place
Of a place to unwind
I’m trying to focus
To find out what’s real
But I’m so far away
I don’t trust what I feel

I watch life go by
From behind my window
Cause I am nowhere
I’m stuck in limbo
I lie in the shadow
They walk in the sun
Cause I am nowhere
And I am no one

I stare off into space
Cause I’ve stopped blinking
Not floating in the clouds
I feel like I’m sinking
The weight on my chest
It’s pulling me down
I can feel the air
Between me and the ground
The lines are now blurred
I can’t tear them apart
Attached to the veins
That surround my empty heart

I watch life go by
From behind my window
Cause I am nowhere
I’m stuck in limbo
I lie in the shadow
They walk in the sun
Cause I am nowhere
And I am no one

What happens to the world
When you close your eyes
What happens to your soul
When your soul dies
If I’m not really here
Can I stop breathing
What happens to your body
When your heart stops beating

I watch life go by
From behind my window
Cause I am nowhere
I’m stuck in limbo
I lie in the shadow
They walk in the sun
Cause I am nowhere
And I am no one

Love Bite

Lyrics, , ,

You’re coming closer
Walking slowly to me
I see it in your eyes
I know you want me
I start running away
Like we’re playing a game
I hope I’m hard to get
Cause you’ll eat my brain

Locked away
We thought we were safe
Now the halls are alive
With the sound of screaming
And there is no escape

Just like in the movies
I tripped over
You gave me a love bite
On my left shoulder
I pushed you away
To find a place to hide
No one is safe from me
Not since the bite

Locked away
We thought we were safe
Now the halls are alive
With the sound of screaming
And there is no escape

I feel myself changing
I’m starting to turn
I’m running a fever
Skin hot enough to burn
The door crashes open
All I can do is stare
And as the lights go out
I see you standing there

Locked away
We thought we were safe
Now the halls are alive
With the sound of screaming
And there is no escape

First he wanted my brain
As I ran for cover
Ever since that love bite
Now we hunt together

Locked away
We thought we were safe
Now the halls are alive
With the sound of screaming
And there is no escape

Love
Roxanne

Without You Here

Lyrics, ,

The story of our first date
Is just like a fairy tale
He’s the guy you meet before
A date destined to fail
The conversation flowed
Just like a frozen lake
Before we got to dinner
I knew this was a mistake
I could feel time ticking by
As we ate in silence
I was glad not to hear more
Of his work in finance

Sometimes I think I’m better off by myself

Dinners for one
Don’t feel so bad
I’m fine on my own
No overnight bag
Without you here
I can feel that spark
And my beating heart
Enjoy my life at last
Without you here
And all that I could do
The truth I never knew
Is that I don’t miss you

I gave us a second chance
Fast forward to next year
With our white picket fence
Life was sitting in first gear
Every night was the same
I’m making lists in my head
Or just lying awake while
He plays with me in our bed
I didn’t know what was wrong
But this didn’t feel right
Shouldn’t I love you by now
Instead I just think you’re nice

Sometimes I think I’m better off by myself

Dinners for one
Don’t feel so bad
I’m fine on my own
No overnight bag
Without you here
I can feel that spark
And my beating heart
Enjoy my life at last
Without you here
And all that I could do
The truth I never knew
Is that I don’t miss you

I can’t do this anymore
I just can’t live this way
Life shouldn’t be a chore
I want to enjoy each day
Being with you was like
Nails on a chalk board
You aren’t what I want in life
I left your things by the door

Dinners for one
Don’t feel so bad
I’m fine on my own
No overnight bag
Without you here
I can feel that spark
And my beating heart
Enjoy my life at last
Without you here
And all that I could do
The truth I never knew
Is that I don’t miss you

Love
Roxanne

I Should Have Known

Lyrics, ,

It’s late at night when you come home
Staring at a picture of us
Can’t help but think I should have known
You would do this to me again
I see her lipstick on your shirt
And is that Chanel I can smell
It almost doesn’t even hurt
So I ask what happened this time

And this is what he said

The room is dark and hazy
And people are getting crazy
I feel the bass in my bones
And my gaze begins to roam
Then I see her standing there
Though who she is I don’t care
Cause I would show her the world
Even if she’s not my girl

Of course this isn’t the first time
That you found some girl to climb
Like a kid in a candy store
You had me but you wanted more
You always seem to put me last
So now all that is left to ask
As my world begins to shatter
Does this between us not matter?

And this is what he said

The room is dark and hazy
And people are getting crazy
I feel the bass in my bones
And my gaze begins to roam
Then I see her standing there
Though who she is I don’t care
Cause I would show her the world
Even if she’s not my girl

This isn’t something I’ll forget
Unlike your footprints in the sand
Cause even if you feel regret
This can’t just be washed away
So go on now say you’re sorry
It’s what you do when you confess
This time you don’t have to worry
Cause I won’t be taking you back

This is what he said

The room is dark and hazy
And people are getting crazy
I feel the bass in my bones
And my gaze begins to roam
Then I see her standing there
Though who she is I don’t care
Cause I would show her the world
Even if she’s not my girl

This Isn’t High School

Lyrics, , ,

We flirted for months
You said you liked me
We dated for days
It was over in three
But then that’s high school
Girls like me don’t date
We suffer in silence
Through all the hate

But I’m not in high school anymore
Cause now I’m up on stage
Singing to a packed floor
As I dreamt from a young age
I wasn’t cool enough for them
I wonder what they’d say now
If they’d judge me again
But they won’t bring me down

He said he liked me
But they talked him round
So he ended it
Without making a sound
Cause like a coward
He didn’t do it himself
Someone else told me
I’d be by myself

But I’m not in high school anymore
Cause now I’m up on stage
Singing to a packed floor
As I dreamt from a young age
I wasn’t cool enough for them
I wonder what they’d say now
If they’d judge me again
But they won’t bring me down

I look out into the crowd
From my place in the spotlight
When I see him standing there
Please don’t let this be right
I wasn’t enough back then
But now you can see
What you were all missing
You said you liked me

But this isn’t high school anymore
Cause now I’m up on stage
Singing to a packed floor
As I dreamt from a young age
I wasn’t cool enough for you
I wonder what you’d say now
But no matter what you do
You won’t bring me down

Love
Roxanne

Paper Crown

Lyrics, , ,

We’re told when we’re young
That we can be anything
The sky is the limit
But don’t believe a thing
You could wish on a star
You could do all things right
But every star dies
Even those that burn bright
And when you step outside
You might not come home
The evil in this world
Could take you before you’ve grown

There was a young princess
Wearing a pink dress
With a paper crown
To match her pretty gown
She had a little tea party
With all her hopes and dreams
Too bad her paper crown
Will get torn somehow
And all those hopes and dreams
Won’t make it through tea

When did life get so dark
We used to have dreams
But then we grew up and
Life was not what it seemed
What happened to those days
The ones on the playground
Where everyone was friendly
And no evil to be found
Let’s go back to those days
The ones filled with laughter
When we truly believed
In happy ever after

There was a young princess
Wearing a pink dress
With a paper crown
To match her pretty gown
She had a little tea party
With all her hopes and dreams
Too bad her paper crown
Will get torn somehow
And all those hopes and dreams
Won’t make it through tea

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Make a wish you will go far
But then when you grow old
And see the lies you were told
It leaves you feeling cold

There was a young princess
Wearing a pink dress
With a paper crown
To match her pretty gown
She had a little tea party
With all her hopes and dreams
Maybe her paper crown
Won’t get torn somehow
And all those hopes and dreams
Will make it through tea

Love
Roxanne

Please Don’t

Lyrics, , ,

I just want it to stop
Kids can be so cruel
I thought they’d like me
But I was just a fool
They wouldn’t talk to me
And I was laughed at
They called me a freak
And not behind my back
I couldn’t take it no more
I was losing control
So I did what I had to
To climb out of this hole

If only someone would say

Please don’t hurt yourself
I need you to fight
Don’t let their darkness
Takeover your light
Please just hold on
It’s not always this hard
It does get better
Don’t let this day be your last

I can’t do this anymore
With internet these days
Not even home is safe
Cause on my screen it stays
They can’t see how it hurts
Not from behind their keyboard
Now I long for those days
Where I was ignored
And it only got worse when
They found out I’m a bleeder
They had friendly advice like
I think you should cut deeper

If only someone would say

Please don’t hurt yourself
I need you to fight
Don’t let their darkness
Takeover your light
Please just hold on
It’s not always this hard
It does get better
Don’t let this day be your last

I’m drowning in a sea of darkness
There’s no escape its endless
As the blood runs down my hand
I promise this won’t happen again

Please don’t hurt yourself
I need you to fight
Don’t let their darkness
Takeover your light
Please just hold on
It’s not always this hard
It does get better
Don’t let this day be your last

Love
Roxanne

I’ve Had This Dream

Lyrics, ,

I’m up on stage
The crowd is screaming
I love it up here
It feels so freeing
They call out to me
With their hands out reaching
And when the bands starts
The crowd starts singing
I give them my all
To keep them cheering
I need this more
Than the air I’m breathing

There is no better feeling

Ever since I was little
I’ve had this dream
Where I’m in the dark and
Then the lights gleam
The crowd is cheering
Screaming my name
The room is so alive
And it’s energy aflame

There’s a meet up
Outside after my show
The number of fans
Continues to grow
I’d be there for them
Wherever I have to go
Even if it feels like its
Above freezing or below
I give them my time
Even take it slow
Because I love them
And they need to know

I watch as their faces glow

Ever since I was little
I’ve had this dream
Where I’m in the dark and
Then the lights gleam
Connecting with people
Fans liking my songs
Give us both a place
Where we feel we belong

My album just dropped
And it hit number one
I never imagined
This when I had begun
I was just a kid
It was just a bit of fun
But It’s gone beyond
My expectations outdone
And so now today
Is my day in the sun
I fought for this life
And I’ve finally won

Number one at twenty one

Ever since I was little
I’ve had this dream
Where I’m in the dark and
Then the lights gleam
After walking around for
Most of my life unseen
I finally made my mark
On the music scene

It’s awards night
And I’m dressed to the nines
The dress I picked
Changed a million times
Everyone is seated
The starting bell chimes
The show must go on
As everyone dines
They called my name
So I start to rise
And walk to the stage
To collect my prize

This is for you guys

But I looked at my life
And what it was instead
I hated to think
This is all in my head

Ever since I was little
I’ve had this dream
Where I’m in the dark and
Then the lights gleam
But when I wake up
I just want to scream
If only it were real
I’d stop having this dream

Love
Roxanne

I Love You Anyway

Lyrics, , ,

We need to have a talk
And I need to do it today
You might wanna take a seat
Cause I got a lot to say
I hate the way you cut your hair
Always stylish and neat
Or how when we’re in a fight
You end up caving in defeat
And how dare you offer to pay
When we go out to dinner
But some how I still think
I’ve picked a real winner

Cause I love you anyway
Even though you annoy me
Each and everyday
Yeah I love you anyway
I couldn’t get rid of you
Even if I wanted to
Not now you’re under my skin
Just like an ugly tattoo

Why are you always on time
When you know I won’t be
And we always have to cuddle
Just to make you happy
You open doors for me
Like you think I need help
As if that type of thing
Should make my beating heart melt
I hate the way you look at me
And the way you say my name
I hate the way you love me and
That you aren’t playing any game

But I love you anyway
Even though you annoy me
Each and everyday
Yeah I love you anyway
I couldn’t get rid of you
Even if I wanted to
Not now you’re under my skin
Just like an ugly tattoo

You like me best when
I’m in your sweatshirt
You always make me smile
And never treat me like dirt
For these reasons and more
I loved you from the start
The day you bumped into me
You poked my heart

And I love you anyway
Even though you annoy me
Each and everyday
Yeah I love you anyway
I couldn’t get rid of you
Even if I wanted to
Not now you’re under my skin
Just like an ugly tattoo

Love
Roxanne
