No One Just Like Me

I wake up in the morning

With a smile on my face

A sweet sadness in these eyes

But I walk out with grace

I’ve been down, been pushed around

But I’m not giving up

I’ll freak out, I’ll flip out

But I’m not breaking down

I breathe out to the ocean,

I sing out to the sea

There’s a whisper in the waves

That says “there’s no one just like me”

I walk to the broken bridge

And I laugh at the irony

There’s a carving in its cracks

That reads “there’s no one just like me”

I dream of my mother, holding her child

Blissful, the innocence, and the way that it feels

I smile, she smiles, there's a twinkle in her eyes

That says “there’s no one just like me”

I walk back home and I don’t feel so low

The girl in my mirror smiles at me

There’s a story in her smile

That reads “there’s no one just like me”

Her hair is always in a perfect mess

And she never wears the perfect dress

This girl, they say, has been through a lot

But this girl is everything they think she is not!

I'm Holding On

I'm going on, I don't know where I belong

But I'm going on, in search of this feeling so strong

As the wind blows on my face, I'm breathing out to space

I need something to believe, anything I could feel

So I look out to the sky

And the rain drops pour into my eye

I know you're there, somewhere, I believe

Holding on to your life for me

One day you'll be here by my side

Holding your arms around me tight

Whispering sweet nothings into my ears

Chasing away all my fears

As the chills run down my spine, I try to open my mind

I'll be waiting beneath the silver moon, hoping I'll see you soon

So I look out to the sky

And the rain drops pour into my eye

I know you're there, somewhere, I believe

Holding on to your life for meOne day you'll be here by my side

Holding your arms around me tight

Whispering sweet nothings into my ears

Chasing away all my fears

Until then, I'm holding on to the pieces of my life

And I'm holding on to the hopes of finding you

One day you'll be here by my side

So close, everything will be alright

Bittersweet Memories

[Verse 1]

3 o’clock in the morning,

I’m tossing and turning on my bed

Came without a warning,

Thoughts of you that fill my head

.

And I tried to figure out what went wrong

If you and I were meant to be

But baby I’m lost and I can’t hold on

To you and your bittersweet memories

.

.

[Chorus]

I remember your smile, the dimple on your cheek,

Sweeps me off my feet…

The way you bite your tongue, when you do something wrong,

My heart just skips a beat…

.

The smell of your skin, flows through my soul,

Makes it hard to breathe…

I remember your smile, and your two bunny teeth,

That sweep me off my feet...

.

.

[Verse 2]

I go to sleep every night,

Wishing I could wake up next to you

When we talk on the phone,

I could spend forever listening to you

.

And I search through my mind for the perfect words

To say what you mean to me

But all I could find in my head

Was you and your bittersweet memories

.

.

[Chorus]

I remember your smile, the dimple on your cheek,

Sweeps me off my feet…

The way you bite your tongue, when you do something wrong,

My heart just skips a beat…

.

The smell of your skin, flows through my soul,

Makes it hard to breathe…

I remember your smile, and your two bunny teeth,

That sweep me off my feet

.

.

[Bridge]

Every time I realize that I don't belong here,

You make me feel as if I belong with you

And I don't know what to say,

And I don't know what to do

.

.

[Chorus]

I remember your smile, the dimple on your cheek,

Sweeps me off my feet…

The way you bite your tongue, when you do something wrong,

My heart just skips a beat…

.

The smell of your skin, flows through my soul,

Makes it hard to breathe…

I remember your smile, and your two bunny teeth,

That sweep me off my feet.

“Just Like Me”

[Verse1]

I never knew it was possible

to find someone like you who is just like me

At first it was all unbelievable

But now we know, this is how it’s meant to be

.

With every twisted step I take,

Having you beside just makes it better

You fix me every time I break

And you’re the world’s best damn smile machine

.

.

[Chorus]

You’re the shining light to my dark,

The torchbearer when I’m falling behind

The saviour of my lost mind,

You’re my shade in the scorching sun

You’re the one person who is always there

When everything around is falling apart,

Every time I’m stuck, you help me kick start

You’re the one I trust, coz I know you care

.

.

[Verse2]

Every time that I feel sad

The sweet sweet things you say make me smile

Every time I lose my head

You bring me back with my feet on the ground

.

Anything that goes wrong with you

Will always get better, you know you’re not alone

I’m going to be standing by you

And if you need to laugh, I will be your clown

.

.

[Chorus]

You’re the shining light to my dark,

The torchbearer when I’m falling behind

The saviour of my lost mind,

You’re my shade in the scorching sun

You’re the one person who is always there

When everything around is falling apart,

Every time I’m stuck, you help me kick start

One person I trust, coz I know that you care

.

.

[Bridge]

It’s funny how we’re always in the same boat

And I bet we always will be, friends forever

Through the ups and downs of life we go together

Together in the ride of this roller-coaster

.

.

[Chorus]

You’re the shining light to my dark,

The torchbearer when I’m falling behind

The saviour of my lost mind,

You’re my shade in the scorching sun

You’re the one person who is always there

When everything around is falling apart,

Every time I’m stuck, you help me kick start

One person I trust, coz I know that you care

.

.

[Break]

I can never be alone till you’re around

I can never be lonely till you’re there for me

You’re the one who sees all the colors of my life

You’re the one who gives my qualities a rise

This is just how it’s meant to be

You’re the ecstasy in my fantasy

.

Hey Cheater

[Verse 1]

Seems like she really loves you

I wonder if she knows what you’re upto

There’s something about the way you hold her

Something about your past that you told her

Makes her believe you’ll never let go

Makes her believe coz she doesn’t know

..

[Chorus]

Hey cheater, I know you better

You won’t stay true to her

You’ll leave her when you find another

You’re only going to break her heart

It won’t be late before she figures it out

..

[Verse 2]

You tell her that you’re in love

Tell her she’s the one, the only one

You kiss her on the lips and wrap her in your arms

It gets hard to breathe; she’s lost in your charm

Makes her want to be with you forever

But there’s no forever for a cheater

..

[Chorus]

Hey cheater, I know you better

You won’t stay true to her

You’ll leave her when you find another

You’re only going to break her heart

It won’t be late before she figures it out

..

[Bridge]

I hope she finds out

The truth about your lies

About the pain in your eyes

The reason behind your sad smile

And I hope that one day she will see

What made you choose her over me

.

[Chorus]

Hey Cheater, I found someone better

And he’s gonna stay true to me

He treats me right, never lets me cry

He holds me tight when I’m falling apart

He fixes the damage you’ve done to my heart

.

Hey Cheater, I found someone better

And he’s gonna stay true to me

But you’ll leave her when you find another

You’re only going to break her heart

It won’t be late before she figures it out

.
