I’m gon’ stand on trial for playing the field of love (of love) What’s the point of falling love Lonely hearts will always come Wrote this line for both of us It’s way harder than it seems Give me no time let me find my pace Made me go shy, made me go insane And I can't see in the light of day Made me go blind, made me go blind I wonder if I can’t escape it I wonder if you called my name would I follow would I fight it, would I take it I’m gon’ stand on trial for playing the field (of love) There’s a little red demon calling Got me sippin’ up when I’m touring It’s a bad time to be involved in Any games we play Said she liked the way I’ve been sounding Now she wanna drink out of my fountain You don’t wanna get closer like lightning Can you hear me say I wonder if I can’t escape it I wonder if you called my name would I follow would I fight it, would I take it I’m gon’ stand on trial for playing the field of love I’m gon’ stand on trial for playing the field of love (I won’t stand on trial) Your honour my apologies I’m wanted for the robberies Stole a couple of hearts, women think they hit the lottery I love em and I leave em Ain't got time to be your property My Mi amora, I was blinded by your aura You might be the anomaly, I risk it all for thee Lose the plot of thee, you fell in love and fell into the deep (uh!) Lonely-hearted fellow in the field like I’m Melo Still running from my crimes and the cupid’s arrow I’m gon’ stand on trial for playing the field of love I’m gon’ stand on trial for playing the field of love (of love) There's a field of love

Blessed 03:57
Told myself you're not leaving But I'm afraid I can't say it no-more Brought doubt and stress on my corner Oh the time, how the time goes Super high, super slow I'll be falling It's fair to say that I'll be staying here Blaze will rise in the core of frustration, but it's not my fault I'm blessed when I'm fine, fine, wine and dining Look back and those time, time, times be flying I know that I'm gone, gone, gone be happy one day But still I'm holding my black and bruised heart Still I'm chasing you all the time Held my patience, paid my dues lord Let me hold these tears inside Said I'm blessed, said I'm fine Never call me, call me home I don't care and I don't share Said I'm blessed, I'm fine I said that I'm blessed, I'll find you easy on my arm I said that I'm blessed, I'll find you easy on my arm Hold me close and I'll tell you why you got my heart Because I said that I'm blessed, I'll find you easy on my arm And I'll go deep, to the end of time Where the black holes creeping, until I see 445 Said I'm blessed on a side note, called me cold like It's all my fault I said you're a special one, you said you left me alone Why won't you see my pain Why won't you let me in Why won't you hear me out But you said bye, said I said that I'm blessed and I'll find you easy on my arm I said that I'm blessed and I'll find you easy on my arm Hold me close and I'll tell you why you got my heart Because I said that I'm blessed and I'll find you easy on my arm I said that I'm blessed oh lord I said that I'm blessed oh lord I said that I'm blessed oh lord I said that I'm blessed oh lord I said that I'm blessed, I'll find you easy on my arm I said that I'm blessed, I'll find you easy on my arm Hold me close and I'll tell you why you got my heart Because I said that I'm blessed, I'll find you easy on my arm I said that I'm blessed oh lord I said that I'm blessed oh lord I said that I'm blessed oh lord

In My Head 03:47
Walking with no title Can’t believe my faith was wrong about you You’re way out of view Thought I had enough I can’t escape my feelings love I want you, you’re way out of view And I Wonder if I could take you home And stay all night I got you in my head and I wanna Get you out my mind for a moment Got you in my sight I’ve been hoping You’d be by my side I’m on your street, on the corner side You’re making dreams feel so alive Can’t you see I will be your light Let the fire blaze inside your grace We’ll make it out in time When I get home I’ll call We can talk through Oh I know you’ve been deceiving But that’s nothing new But I stayed alone Gave it two or three But now it’s time to leave I got you in my head and I wanna Get you out my mind for a moment Got you in my sight I’ve been hoping You’d be by my side I got you in my head and I wanna Get you out my mind for a moment Got you in my sight I’m begging for my heart to break (I got you, got you) (got you, got you) (I got you) Girl you know that you’re a star (got you) You ain't gotta play a part, babe (got you) Will you ever take a chance on me (got you) I got you in my head and I’m hoping You’d be out my mind by the morning out of sight my darling Can’t you be all mine I got you in my head Got you on my mind Don’t want you out of sight my darling Won’t you be all mine

I Can See 04:06
I’ll hold it down any time of the day Can’t feel no one, I’m trying to pray I found, I’ve been feeling closed, right now Way down, feet cold but I couldn’t drown And I can see the rain upon the cloud's oh no And I can be the rain I’m falling down Don’t wanna start it You’re making my heart break Taking it one step at a time Darling, I want it all I couldn’t partake You know that we won’t make it Oh, in time I wasn’t waiting for love Prayed to the lord up above Begging him for All of your heart That's all I’m fighting for I ain't got time to be wasting Tell me it's mine for the taking Pulling me in, taking me out Playing your game And I can see the rain upon the cloud's oh no And I can be the rain I’m falling down so slow Please don’t take my lover away Please don’t take my love no more Please don’t take my lover away Please don’t take my love no more

If you think we’re all alike Please look deep into my eyes Set the tone and set it right Let's not read between the lines When we shine, all you see is Violent crimes It’s so cold in the wintertime Always cold winds It’s evolved (In time, you’ll know) you need some time alone (In time, you’ll know) you’ll never be alone (In time, you’ll know) that all you need is patience (In time, you’ll know) that you could be the one But after all, we won’t stand alone But after all, we won’t stand alone Walking away from, shadows of lost sins I’m taking a back seat, letting it all out I’m Waking away don’t you say that it’s cold-hearted I couldn’t stay there I’m getting away, getting away time wouldn’t wait for me, I couldn't wait for sleep felt like nobody could stop me** Working and moving in silence Maybe I’m just too impatient Maybe it’s my generation I couldn’t wait, I couldn’t wait I couldn’t wait up But after all, we won’t stand alone But after all, we won’t stand alone But after all, after all, after all But after all, after all, after all But after all, after all, after all But after all, after all, after all But after all, after all, after all But after all, after all, after all
