01. Acting Out

Up above the surface I was just a perfect child
But underneath it all I was craving to be wild
Don’t you judge by the cover it’s so far from what you see
I’m losin’ all my patience waiting on you to believe

I’m suffocating, I can’t breathe

Let me out this cage, I’m not gonna hold back
Gonna break these chains I’m taking control now
Gonna give you something to talk about
It’s another side of me, I’m acting out
Set me free I’m ready to show you this is what I need
It’s time to get dirty, Imma show you what I’m talking about
It’s another side of me I’m acting out

Welcome to a new beginning, it’s time to start the show
No I don’t think it matters if it’s real or just a role
Once you get a taste of it you’ll be begging me for more
I’ll give ya something to remember once I hit the floor

I’m letting go of what you know

I’ve been waiting just to drive you crazy
Now it’s my time and yes it feels amazing
There’s nothing left of what you’ve seen before
Life’s too short just to do what you’re told

Just to do what you’re told, Just to do what you’re told
Do what you’re told
Just to do what you’re told
Do what… do what you’re told

Life’s too short just to do what you’re told
I’m acting out
Life’s too short just to do what you’re told
I’m acting out
Life’s too short just to do what you’re told
I’m acting out

Yeah yeah, I’m acting out

02. It's Alright, It's Ok

You told me,
There's no need,
To talk it out, cause it's too late,
To proceed,
And slowly, I took your words and walked away
No looking back,
I won't regret, no
I will find my way
I'm broken,
But still I have to say

It's alright, okay
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
alright, okay
So don't you bother what I do
No matter you say
I won't return
Our bridge has burned down
I'm stronger now
alright, okay
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry

You played me,
Betrayed me,
Your love was nothing but a game,
Portrayed a role,
You took control,
I, I couldn't help but fall,
So deep,
But now I see things clear

It's alright, okay
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
alright, okay
So don't you bother what I do
No matter you say
I won't return
Our bridge has burned down
I'm stronger now
alright, okay
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry

Don't waste your fiction tears on me,
Just save them for someone in need
It's way too late,
I'm closing the door

It's alright, okay
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
it's alright, okay
So don't you bother what I do, yeah
No matter you say
I won't return
Our bridge has burned down
I'm stronger now
alright, okay
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry

It's alright, okay
Alright, okay,
Without you,
No matter what you say,
It's alright, okay
Alright, okay,
Without you,
I won't be sorry

03. Masquerade

Hip shaker, dream maker, heartbreaker, earth quaker
I can be anything that you want me to
Coin spender, mind-bender, jet-setter, go-getter
Change up my getup for anything you choose
I don’t mind trying on someone else
I won’t mind seeing just how it felt
I might like changing my disguise
To make you happy

Here’s my formal invitation
You and me go masquerading
Lose ourselves in this charading
Is this love we’re imitating
Do we want what we got?
If not I say so what
Here’s my formal invitation

La la la la
You can be my…

School teacher, dream weaver, mind reader, just be the
One I can count on to play it out with me
Hot waiter, cool skater, trailblazer, pulse raiser
Naughty or nice—whatever you want to be

You wanna try on someone else?
You might like seeing how it felt
Do you mind changing your disguise?
If it makes me happy

Here’s my formal invitation
You and me go masquerading
Lose ourselves in this charading
Is this love we’re imitating
Do we want what we got?
If not I say so what
Here’s my formal invitation

Let’s go
Let’s go masquerading

We’ll make it fun when it’s over and done
I still want you to see the real me
No more disguises, let true love decide if
We should be . . . together

Here’s my formal invitation
You and me go masquerading
Lose ourselves in this charading
Is this love we’re imitating
Do we want what we got?
If not I say so what
Here’s my formal invitation

Let’s go
Let’s go masquerading

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la

04. Overrated

Yeah eh eh eh, oh

I pass my reflection . . .
It’s someone else
I see your invention
And not myself

I turned into your perfect girl
A total stranger . . .
Now I see, and I don’t want to

Being you when it’s all just an act
It’s overrated!
The truth is I’m wanting me back
’Cause I can’t take this
I’ve gotta be who I am underneath
Who I gave up, so you’d believe
Being you when it’s all just an act
It’s overrated!
So overrated!

I let you control me
Or so you thought
Don’t think that you’re perfect
Just all messed up
I hid away the best of me
Too scared to notice
Now I do, and I’m not going to . . .

It’s overrated!
(Changing for a guy . . .)
Overrated!
(Living in a lie . . .)
It’s overrated!
(Always asking why . . .)
So overrated!

Oh whoa oh

The mirror, is shattered . . .
I’m finally free!

Overrated, yeah
Overrated, yeah
So overrated, yeah
Overrated

Oh oh, yeah

05. Hot Mess

I’m a mess when it comes to you
I’ve got no inhibitions whatsoever it’s true
I’m not the kinda girl who runs around like this
Caught up in a kiss . . . best friends with benefits, no

But you’re so racy . . . you’re my favorite guy
So unruly . . . so uncivilized
Cupid got me right between my eyes
You know you got bit real bad
Doin’ things that you never did

Oh oh whoa, oh oh whoa oh
You wake up in your bra and your make up
Oh oh whoa, oh oh whoa oh
Car’s in the driveway parked sideways
Yeah I know this is killing me
I’m leaving every piece of my conscience behind
Oh oh whoa, oh oh whoa oh
I’m such a hot mess
I’m such a hot mess
I’m such a hot mess with you

With you, I never knew lovin’ you could be so fun
It’s true I was such a good, good girl
Before you came along

But you’re so racy . . . you’re my favorite guy
So unruly . . . so uncivilized
Cupid got me right between my eyes
You know you got bit real bad
Doin’ things that you never did

I’m getting speeding tickets, I’m acting just like a misfit
I’m lettin’ my mail pile up to the ceiling
You’re makin’ me irresponsible
’Cause I just wanna be with you
Act rambunctious and see what I do

Go hard . . . hit that gas
Live your life like it’s all you have
Push, push harder make it last
All this love is worth the mess . . . hot mess

06. How Do You Love Someone

Mama never taught me how to love
Daddy never taught me how to feel
Mama never taught me how to touch
Daddy never showed me how to heal

Mama never set a good example
Daddy never held mama’s hand
Mama found everything hard to handle
Daddy never stood up like a man

I’ve walked around broken, emotionally frozen
Getting it on, getting it wrong

I was always the chosen child
Their biggest scandal I became
They told me I’d never survive
But survival’s my middle name

I’ve walked around hopin’, just barely copin’
Gettin’ it on, gettin’ it wrong

It’s hard to talk . . . to say what’s deep inside
It’s hard to tell the truth when you’ve always lied

How do you love someone without getting hurt?
How do you love someone without crawling in the dirt?
So far in my life clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love someone and make it last?
How do you love someone without tripping on the past?
So far in my life clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love, how do you love someone?
Someone

07. Tell Me Lies

It’s in your eyes
Feelings can’t be disguised
’Cause the truth makes me want you
To tell me lies

My biggest fear
Is crying oceans of tears
I would rather you not be so sincere
How cold could you be
What would you do if you were me
I’m better off
If it’s a mystery

’Cause I don’t want to know
If I’ve kissed your lips for the last time
Please don’t say
If it’s so
Tell my heart
It’s not goodbye
And do this one thing for me
Make up some stupid story
Tonight
It’s alright
Keep your truth and tell me lies

Something’s not right
Love is nowhere in sight
I’m not ready to let go
It’s not time
How cruel could you be
Don’t say we’re through
Least not to me
I’m better off
Leave it a mystery

Don’t tell me
You’re leaving
There’s only so much I can take
It’s easier if you’re faking

Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh whoa

’Cause I don’t want to know
If I’ve kissed your lips for the last time
Please don’t say
If it’s so
Tell my heart
It’s not goodbye
And do this one thing for me
Make up some stupid story
Can we keep pretending
This is not the ending
Tonight
It’s alright
Keep your truth and tell me lies

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me, tell me…

08. What If

Don’t speak, I can’t believe this is happening
Our situation isn’t right
Get real, who you playing with
I never thought you’d be like this
You were supposed to be there by my side

When you say that you want me
I just don’t believe it
You’re always ready to give up
and never turn around

But what if I need you baby
Would you even try to save me
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true
What if I said I loved you
Would you be the one to run to
Or would you watch me walk away without a fight

I’m so sick of worrying that ya
gonna quit over anything
I could trip and you’d let go like that
And everything that we ever were
seems to fade but not the hurt
’Cause you don’t know the good things from the bad

When I say that I want you
You know that I mean it
And in my hour of weakness
There’s still time to try

Every time I speak you try and stop me
’Cause every little thing I say is wrong
You say you’re noticing but you never see
This is who I really am that you can believe
Make me wanna know right now
Is it me you’ll live without
Or would you change your mind

What if I need you

Oh baby what if I need you

Yeah, yeah

What if I need…
what if I need you

Oh what if I need you

If I need you, you you

09. Erase & Rewind

I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t want to, I don’t want to
I don’t wanna freak you out, but I

I think I might have said too much
Didn’t mean to, didn’t mean to
Think I might have said it’s you and I

Guess I should leave this behind
Guess I should erase and rewind
But somehow I can’t seem to stay away
I don’t wanna sound desperate
But I am, so say that
You’ll come around
Guess I should erase and rewind
Erase and rewind

I don’t wanna stand in line
Like I used to, like I used to
I don’t wanna have to scream and shout

’Cause I’m the kind of girl that sticks
Like a tattoo, like a tattoo
Yeah, I’m the kind of girl that wears you out

You never do return my calls
Just like we’ve never met at all
No matter what I’ll always wait for you
I’ll wait for you, I’ll wait for you

I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t want to . . .

Yeah eh eh eh eh

10. Hair

I’m in disarray, I’m unkempt and I love it sugar, yeah this is what you do
When you run your fingers through my hair in the morning
I’m feeling like a sexy superstar

Whoa, whoa you rock my party, wanna make me say who who
You’re the only one that keeps me singing la la la
I love to smell your t-shirt, I like the way you are
But most all I like it like it

I like what you do to my hair
Who knew that looking a mess could feel so good
I like what you do to my hair
Tousle it, tease it, run your fingers through it, oh how you do it
Now go and mess it up, mess it up baby, mess it up, mess it up, mess it up
Do it till I can’t get enough oh oh

I like what you do to my hair
Who knew that looking a mess could feel so good

I’m un-perfect so un me but I love it sugar
See this is what you do, you get my ponytail to sag
My bangs are laughable but I don’t mind ’cause I think it’s kinda super cool

Whoa, whoa you rock my party, wanna make me say who who
You’re the only one that keeps me singing la la la
I love to smell your t-shirt, I like the way you are
But most all I like it like it

I like what you do to my hair
Who knew that looking a mess could feel so good

Tonight I’m gonna fix it up real nice, my Shirley Temple curls
I want you to mess it up, I’ll put on a bow ’cause I want you to know
That you got your name on my heart
You’re wicked bad and I like the way that you do it baby

I like what you do to my hair
Who knew that looking a mess could feel so good

11. Delete You

It’s not time to give us one more try
(I don’t think so)
Last night you said your one last lie
I can’t let you wreck my plans
I’m planning to let you go
Oh, only one thing is true
Only one thing to do - time to delete you

Burnin’ up all your pictures
Tearin’ up all your letters
Rippin’ up all your sweaters
This is, this for the better
Slashin’ up all your tires
Smashin’ up all your flowers
Grabbin’ back all my power
Press the button that says, “I don’t need you”
Delete you, oh, wo, oh

It’s not time to say how much you care
(I don’t think so)
I don’t want you
I want you not there
I’m done, I think that the time’s come
To bring this thing to an end
I think this could be goodbye
Think you’ve run outta time
Time to delete you

All I want from you is for you to disappear
All I need from you is for you to not be here
I guess it’s time you got the news
Gonna replace you
Erase you, delete you

Oh, oh delete you
Whoa oh oh, oh delete you

Time to delete you
Whoa oh, delete you

12. Me Without You

It’s just you and me
And there’s no one around
Feel like I’m hanging by thread
It’s a long way down

I’ve been trying to breathe
But I’m fighting for air
I’m at an all-time low
With no place to go
But you’re always there

When everything falls apart
And it seems like the world is crashing at my feet
You like me the best when I’m a mess
When I’m my own worst enemy
You make me feel beautiful
When I have nothing left to prove
And I can’t imagine how I’d make it through
There’s no me without you
No me without you, no no

You hear what I say
When I don’t say a word
You are the rising sun
You’re the place I run
You know how it hurts

And when you say ‘baby, it’s gonna get better,’ I believe you
And I wish that somehow I could see me the way you do
With my imperfections you think I’m perfect
When it’s not easy you make it worth it

13. Crank It Up

Th-th-th-this beat is hypnotic
I wanna ride it like a chauffeur
The sound of the sonic’s
Controlling me just like a robot
I go bionic so d-d-dj put it on
I’m losing logic and cruising deeper in the zone
It’s so cinematic charismatic, it got me frozed up
This acrobatic beat is something I need a dose of
I’m systematically moving every single bone
There’s no mechanic that can understand what
I’m on

Let’s crank it up
Crank it up
Till the walls cave in
Just crank it up
Crank it up
Put that record on spin
’Cause I am ready to party
Gonna get my girls and get naughty
Just crank it up
Crank it up
Till the walls cave in
Just crank it up

Ha ha oh yeah, boom ha ha oh yeah
Boom ha ha oh yeah, boom ha ha oh yeah

Th-th-this beat is melodic harmonic
Got me striking poses
I get up on it electronically
Feeling so fresh
It’s so erotic my body’s
Like a cyclone
I’m like a puppet, can’t stop it
Dropping like a stone
It’s so cinematic charismatic, it got me frozed up
This acrobatic beat is something I need a dose of
I’m systematically moving every single bone
There’s no mechanic that can understand what
I’m on

Turn it up (louder), turn it up (louder)
Turn it up

DJ turn it up (louder), turn it up (louder)
Turn it up (loud)

DJ turn it up (louder), turn it up (louder)
Turn it up (louder), turn it up (louder)
Turn it up (louder), turn it up

Turn it up louder!

I systematically move every bone
So crank it up I wanna get in the zone
I systematically move every bone
So crank it up I wanna get in the zone

14. Switch

Switch it, switch it

You’re out of this world – I’m sure of that
A crazy intuition . . .
You’re off and on, you’re here then gone – come back
A curious condition . . .

And then you switch right over
It’s weird yeah I know but
Just can’t get a hold of myself

(Hey, hey)
So strange – you switched in front of me
(Hey, hey)
You’ve changed – not like you used to be . . .
’Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I’m here, you’re there – we’re worlds apart
So reverse your words – go to the start
And switch back, to my world . . .
(Hey, hey)
You’re just – talking like a machine
(Hey, hey)
I’m stuck – on every word in between . . .
’Cause you get in my head and hold my heart
When I’m here, you’re there – we’re worlds apart
So reverse your words – go to the start
And switch back, to my world . . .

You’re out of this world – I’m sure of that
A little more than different . . .
And you keep locking, blocking, turn your back
It’s you that I’m missing . . .

And then you switch right over
It’s weird yeah I know but
Just can’t get a hold of myself

Wonder where you are – how can I find you?
Staring at the stars falling behind you
Across the universe – hope you’ll be back soon
I got a feeling our planets will be rearranging . . .

Open your heart
Yeah, we’re back to the start
Open your heart
Yeah, get back to the start
Open your heart
Yeah, we’re back to the start
Open your heart
Yeah, get back to the start
Open your heart
Yeah, we’re back to the start
Open your heart
Yeah, get back to the start
