Alexandre le Grand (Musée du Louvre, Paris)


 

Nightwish - While Your Lips Are Still Red

 
Sweet little words made for silence not talk
Young heart for love not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world

Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour's never a wasted one
The violin, the poet's hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care

Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

 

Asia - Only Time Will Tell

 
You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell
(Only time will tell)
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

(Only time will tell)
You're on your own
Inside your room
(Only time will tell)
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now

(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell... 

 

Chicago - Stay The Night

 
I don't want you to misunderstand me
I just wanna say what's on my mind
No need to hit me with an attitude
Because I haven't got the time
I want you to know one thing's for certain
I surely love your company
And I won't take no if that's your answer
At least that's my philosophy

Stay the night
There's room enough here for two
Stay the night
I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night
Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, nothing is in the way

Have some friendly conversation
And if you still don't have a clue
Unless there's something else you've got in mind
We've got better things to do

Stay the night
There's room enough here for two
Stay the night
I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night
Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, nothing is in the way

Just to have you near me
Here by my side
Just to have you near me
And when I get next to your body
Just to have you near me
One thing I can tell you, perfectly clear
We're gonna have a very good time

Stay the night
There's room enough here for two
Stay the night
I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night
Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us and nothing is in the way

No one can stop us and nothing is in the way
I don't wanna fight

Stay the night
Baby won't you come to stay
Stay the night
Baby won't you stay the night 

 

Stevie Nicks - Stand Back

 
No one looked
I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran

No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand
Take me home

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry

La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, laaaa
La, la, la-la, laaaaa

Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came

So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than you could do
But one man did not call
He asked me for my love
And that was all

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry

La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, laaaa
La, la, la-la, la, la, laaaaa
Too few, too few
Laaaaa
La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, la, laaaa
La, la, la-la, laaaaaa

So I walked, walked down the line
Away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not fall
Well, he asked me for my love
That was all

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I could cry
I need a little sympathy
Well, I need a little sympathy
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Take me home
Take me home
(Stand back)
Don't you take me home
Well, I need a little sympathy
(Stand back)...

Amber Run - Just My Soul Responding

 
Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes
When the stars in the sky fade into one
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
But every day
I found new ways to hurt you
And every day
We took our sides

And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding to the love you took from me

Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes
When the stars in the sky fade into one
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
But every day
I found new ways to hurt you
And every day
We took our sides

And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding to the love, to the love, you took from me
And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding to the love, to the love, you took from me
And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding to the love, to the love, you took from me

 

Silbermond - Leichtes Gepäck

 
Eines Tages fällt dir auf
Dass du 99% nicht brauchst
Du nimmst all den Ballast
Und schmeisst ihn weg
Denn es reist sich besser mit leichtem Gepäck

Du siehst dich um in deiner Wohnung
Siehst ein Kabinett aus Sinnlosigkeiten
Siehst das Ergebnis von
Kaufen und Kaufen von Dingen
Von denen man denkt man würde sie irgendwann brauchen
Siehst soviel Klamotten die du
Nie getragen hast und die du
Nie tragen wirst und trotzdem bleiben sie bei dir

Zu viel Spinnweben und zu viel Kram
Zu viel Altlast in Tupperwaren

Und eines Tages fällt dir auf
Dass du 99% davon nicht brauchst
Du nimmst all den Ballast
Und schmeißt ihn weg
Denn es reist sich besser mit leichtem Gepäck
Mit leichtem Gepäck

Nicht nur ein kleiner
Hofstaat aus Plastik auch
Die Armee aus Schrott und Neurosen
Auf deiner Seele wächst immer mehr
Hängt immer öfter Blutsaugend an deiner Kehle
Wie Geil die Vorstellung wär
Das alles loszuwerden
Alles auf einen Haufen
Mit Brennpaste und Zunder
Und es lodert und brennt so schön
Ein Feuer in Kilometern noch zu seh'n

Und eines Tages fällt dir auf
Dass du 99% davon nicht brauchst
Du nimmst all den Ballast
Und schmeißt ihn weg
Denn es reist sich besser mit leichtem Gepäck
Mit leichtem Gepäck

Ab heut
Nur noch die wichtigen Dinge
Ab heut
Nur noch die wichtigen Dinge
Ab heut
Nur noch die wichtigen Dinge
Ab heut
Nur noch leichtes Gepäck

Denn eines Tages
Fällt dir auf
Es ist wenig was du wirklich brauchst
Also nimmst du den Ballast
Und schmeißt ihn weg
Denn es lebt sich besser
So viel besser
Mit leichtem Gepäck

All der Dreck von gestern
All die Narben
All die Rechnungen die viel zu lang offen rumlagen
Lass sie los, wirf sie einfach weg
Denn es reist sich besser
Mit leichtem Gepäck

 

Sigrid - Strangers

 
Just like in the movies
It starts to rain and we
We're the broken beauties
Blindfolded minds collide and we fall

When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our story's after the end

Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I

Memories in photos
Too easy to rewrite
Left as lonely shadows
Holding each other tight and we fall

When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our story's after the end

Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I

Think we got it, but we made up a dream
Cause we've got a pretty look of what we could be, woh
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
Cause we've got a pretty look of what we could be, woh
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies

Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Strangers

L'ironie

Le vainqueur ignore l'ironie, arme dérisoire du vaincu.

François Cavanna, La hache et la croix

 

Chris Stapleton - Fire Away

 
Honey load up your questions
And pick up your sticks and your stones
And pretend I'm a shelter for heartaches that don't have a home
Choose the words that cut like a razor
And all that I'll say is

Fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I'm not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away

Well, I wish I could say
That I've never been here before
But you know and I know
That I'll always come back for more
Your love might be my damnation
But I'll cry to my grave

Fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I'm not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away

Fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I'm not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away

Kygo & Ellie Goulding - First Time

 
We were lovers for the first time
Running all the red lights
The middle finger was our peace sign, yeah
We were sipping on emotions
Smoking and inhaling every moment
It was reckless and we owned it, yeah, yeah

We were high and we were sober
We were on and we were over
We were young and now I'm older
But I'd do it all again

Getting drunk on a train track
Way back, when we tried our first cigarettes
Ten dollars was a fat stack
I'd do it all again
Bomber jacket and a snapback
Your dad's black Honda was a Maybach
"Re: Stacks" on the playback
I'd do it all again

We were lovers on a wild ride
Speeding for the finish line
Come until the end of our time, yeah
Started off as a wildfire, burning down the bridges to our empire
Our love was something they could admire, yeah, yeah

We were high and we were sober
We were on and we were over
We were young and now I'm older
But I'd do it all again

Getting drunk on a train track
Way back, when we tried our first cigarettes
Ten dollars was a fat stack
I'd do it all again
Bomber jacket and a snapback
Your dad's black Honda was a Maybach
"Re: Stacks" on the playback
I'd do it all again

Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh...
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh...

 

Enrique Iglesias ft. Descemer Bueno, Gente De Zona - Bailando

 
Yo te miro y se me corta la respiración
Cuando tú me miras, se me sube el corazón
(Me palpita lento el corazón)
Y en un silencio, tu mirada dice mil palabras
La noche en la que te suplico que no salga el Sol

Bailando (bailando)
Bailando (bailando)
Tu cuerpo y el mío, llenando el vacío
Subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando)

Bailando (bailando)
Bailando (bailando)
Ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo
Me va saturando

Con tu física y tu química, también tu anatomía
La cerveza y el tequila, y tu boca con la mía
Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)

Con esta melodía, tu color, tu fantasía
Con tu filosofía, mi cabeza está vacía
Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)

Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo
Bailar contigo, tener contigo
Una noche loca (una noche loca)
Ay, besar tu boca (y besar tu boca)

Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo
Bailar contigo, tener contigo
Una noche loca
Con tremenda nota

(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)
(Oh, oh, ooh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

Tú me miras y me llevas a otra dimensión
(Estoy en otra dimensión)
Tus latidos aceleran a mi corazón
(Tus latidos aceleran a mi corazón)
Qué ironía del destino no poder tocarte
Abrazarte y sentir la magia de tu olor

Bailando (bailando)
Bailando (bailando)
Tu cuerpo y el mío, llenando el vacío
Subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando)

Bailando (bailando)
Bailando (bailando)
Ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo
Me va saturando

Con tu física y tu química, también tu anatomía
La cerveza y el tequila, y tu boca con la mía
Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)

Con esta melodía, tu color, tu fantasía
Con tu filosofía, mi cabeza está vacía
Y ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)
Ya no puedo más (ya no puedo más)

Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo
Bailar contigo, tener contigo
Una noche loca (una noche loca)
Ay, besar tu boca (y besar tu boca)

Yo quiero estar contigo, vivir contigo
Bailar contigo, tener contigo
Una noche loca
Con tremenda nota

(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)
(Oh, oh, ooh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)
(Oh, oh, ooh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

(Oh, oh, oh, ooh) bailando, amor
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh) bailando, amor
(Oh, oh, ooh, oh) es que se me va el dolor
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

 

Shakira & Rauw Alejandro - Te Felicito

 
Por completarte, me rompí en pedazos
Me lo advirtieron, pero no hice caso
Me di cuenta que lo tuyo es falso
Fue la gota que rebalsó el vaso

No me digas que lo sientes
Eso parece sincero, pero te conozco bien y sé que mientes

Te felicito, qué bien actúas
De eso no me cabe duda
Con tu papel continúa
Te queda bien esе show

Te felicito, qué bien actúas
Dе eso no me cabe duda
Con tu papel continúa
Te queda bien ese show
Te felicito, qué bien actúas

Esa filosofía barata, no la compro
Lo siento, en esa moto ya no me monto
La gente de dos caras, no la soporto
Yo que ponía las manos al fuego por ti

Y me tratas como una más de tus antojos
Tu herida no me abrió la piel, pero sí los ojos
Los tengo rojos de tanto llorar por ti

Y ahora resulta que lo sientes
Suena sincero, pero te conozco bien y sé que mientes

Te felicito, qué bien actúas
De eso no me cabe duda
Con tu papel continúa
Te queda bien ese show

Te felicito, qué bien actúas
De eso no me cabe duda
Con tu papel continúa
Te queda bien ese show
Te felicito, qué bien actúas

(Ey, dice, Ra-Rauw)
Hablándote claro, no te necesito
Perdiste a alguien auténtico
Algo me decía por qué no fluiamo'
Te va a picar cuando recuerde' cómo nos comíamo'
Como ante' (ey)
Tú de espalda apoyándote del volante (ey)
Quemando el tranquilizante
No te bloqueé de las rede' pa' que vea' la otra en la mercede'

No me cuente' más historia', no quiero saber
Cómo es que he sido tan ciega y no he podido ver
Te deberían dar un Oscar, lo has hecho tan bien

Te felicito, qué bien actúas
De eso no me cabe duda
Con tu papel continúa
Te queda bien ese show

Te felicito, qué bien actúas
De eso no me cabe duda
Con tu papel continúa
Te queda bien ese show
Te felicito, qué bien actúas 

 

Skinny Living - Let Me In

 
Deep rooted connections
When I look into your eyes
I can see there's something blooming
Bubbling up inside
Screaming to get out, yeah
But you're too scared to let it
The past still ties you down
You're struggling to breathe

'Cause he left scars, I'm here to heal for you
And I know where you are 'cause I've been there before

Open up your heart and let me in
Break free from these shackles and let me begin
To show you how I love you
I'm begging for us

Look into my eyes
And trust me when I say this
What you mean to me
Will never ever die

Yeah, he left scars, I'm here to heal for you
And I know where you are 'cause I've been there before

Open up your heart and let me in
Break free from these shackles and let me begin
To show you how I love you
I'm begging for us

Yeah, he left scars, that I'm here to heal for you
And I know where you are 'cause I've been there before

Open up your heart and let me in
Break free from these shackles and let me begin
To show you how I love you
I'm begging for us

Amber Run - I Found

 
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as a focal point
So I don't lose sight of what I want
And I've moved further than I thought I could
But I missed you more than I thought I would
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge
Of how much to give and how much to take
Oh I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

Oh and I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me 

 

Ronisia - Doucement

 
Aimer, j'avais plus le goût avant
C'est différent depuis qu'j'suis avec toi
T'es mon meilleur ami, mon confident
J'laisserai personne m'éloigner de toi
On fera l'tour du monde, j'ai plus de temps à perdre
Là, j'veux tout effacer, dans tes bras j'veux me perdre
Oh, c'est pas la joie, ah, pos pa ladu
Pos pa ladu

Prends ma main, ferme les yeux
Demande-moi c'que tu veux
Demande-moi c'que tu veux
Écoute-moi, ah, mon âme sœur

Et si tu m'as prise pour cible
J'suis prête à tous les faire plier
On va bâtir un empire, eh, eh, eh, eh
Et tu veux qu'on le fasse doucement (doucement)
Et je veux qu'on le fasse doucement (doucement)
Donc on va le faire doucement, eh, eh, eh

J'sais qu't'es têtu, moi-même, j'suis entêtée
Y aura d'la casse, on pourra pas l'éviter
J'sais qu'c'est dur, ouais, j'sais qu'c'est dur
Ah nan, c'est pas la peine de penser aux autres
Dans ma tête, y a que toi, j'connais pas les autres
Paraît que l'amour, ça fait mal, viens on teste
On leur montre qu'ils ont tort

Prends ma main, ferme les yeux
Demande-moi c'que tu veux
Demande-moi c'que tu veux
Écoute-moi, ah, mon âme sœur

Et si tu m'as prise pour cible
J'suis prête à tous les faire plier
On va bâtir un empire, eh, eh, eh, eh
Et tu veux qu'on le fasse doucement (doucement)
Et je veux qu'on le fasse doucement (doucement)
Donc on va le faire doucement, eh, eh, eh

Tu veux le faire doucement
Je veux le faire doucement
Donc on va le faire doucement (eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
Tes défauts, j'ai pas l'temps d'm'y arrêter
Tu sais, j'ai passé la nuit à penser
Quand tout l'monde était là-bas, t'es resté

Je sais qu'tu m'as prise pour cible
J'suis prête à tous les faire plier
On va bâtir un empire, eh, eh, eh, eh
Et tu veux qu'on le fasse doucement (doucement)
Et je veux qu'on le fasse doucement (doucement)
Donc on va le faire doucement

Et tu veux qu'on le fasse doucement
Donc on va le faire doucement 

 

Lea & Majan - Beifahrersitz

 
Noch 'ne Runde um den Block in deinem Beifahrersitz
Steig noch nicht aus, damit es bleibt wie es ist
Wir müssen nicht reden, denn du weißt wie es ist
Weißt wie es ist

Hab kaum noch geschlafen seit 2010
Doch wenn du mich fragst, weiß ich nicht was mir fehlt
Ich weiß nur bei dir bin ich ein bisschen okay (Okay)

Die Welt dreht sich weiter, aber heut nicht mit mir
Mal alles vergessen, geht am besten mit dir
Es fängt an zu regnen, ich will noch nicht gehen (Nicht gehen)

Und das Grau (Das Grau) wird zu Blau (Wird zu Blau), die Sonne geht gleich auf

Noch 'ne Runde um den Block in deinem Beifahrersitz
Steig noch nicht aus, damit es bleibt wie es ist
Wir müssen nicht reden, denn du weißt wie es ist
Weißt wie es ist

Noch 'ne Runde um den Block in deinem Beifahrersitz
Nur du und ich und das Scheinwerferlicht
Ich steig noch nicht aus, damit es bleibt wie es ist
Bleibt wie es ist
Damit es bleibt wie es ist, bleibt wie es ist

Damit es bleibt wie es ist, bleibt wie es ist, es bleibt wie es ist

Damit es bleibt wie es ist

Drück aufs Gas und halt meine Zeit an
Durch die Nacht, so als wären wir Geister
Brauch nichts zu sagen, nein ich weiß, du weißt das
Niemand den du opferst, ist so einfach
Kopffick, es ist geht nur nach vorn
Alles so schnell da und dann wieder gone
Alles wegwerfen, niemals wiederkommen
Linke Spur, Reifen drehen durch, fahr lieber ran

Noch 'ne Runde um den Block in deinem Beifahrersitz
Steig noch nicht aus, damit es bleibt wie es ist
Wir müssen nicht reden, denn du weißt wie es ist
Weißt wie es ist

Noch 'ne Runde um den Block in deinem Beifahrersitz
Nur du und ich und das Scheinwerferlicht
Ich steig noch nicht aus, damit es bleibt wie es ist
Bleibt wie es ist
Damit es bleibt wie es ist, bleibt wie es ist

Damit es bleibt wie es ist, bleibt wie es ist, es bleibt wie es ist

Damit es bleibt wie es ist

Die Welt dreht sich weiter, aber heut nicht mit mir
Mal alles vergessen, geht am Besten mit dir

Und das Grau wird zu Blau, die Sonne geht gleich auf

Noch 'ne Runde um den Block in deinem Beifahrersitz
Steig noch nicht aus, damit es bleibt wie es ist
Wir müssen nicht reden, denn du weißt wie es ist
Weißt wie es ist

Noch 'ne Runde um den Block in deinem Beifahrersitz
Nur du und ich und das Scheinwerferlicht
Ich steig noch nicht aus, damit es bleibt wie es ist
Bleibt wie es ist
Damit es bleibt wie es ist, es bleibt wie es ist
Damit es bleibt wie es ist, bleibt wie es ist, bleibt wie es ist
Damit es bleibt wie es ist 

 

G-Eazy & Post Malone - Heart Scars (Jerome The Prince & Elijah Kyle - Hell & Back cover)

 
Yeah
I really wish someone told me life was this hard
I really wish I didn't feel this pain in my heart
I can't believe I really even made it this far
You can tell I been through hell and back, you can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Lately, it's been hard to breathe, It's like my lungs collapsed
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Tell 'em that

I ain't giving up, that shit ain't in my blood
I've been judged, I been told that everything I do sucks
I've abused this alcohol, I keep refilling my cup
I seen them stab me in the back but come around like it's love
Been through the ringer, and life just keep on tryna fight me like it's Jerry Springer
But you know I never back down, I'ma keep on swinging
I've been searching for my purpose, I've been looking for my meaning
Maybe I'm here to teach the people to chase what they been dreaming
Yeah the journey been crazy, I ain't gon lie about it
Lost a lot of people on the way, I cried about it
I got my woman's love, I think I would die without it
I was at the bottom, had to fight to get the hell up out it

Yeah
I really wish someone told me life was this hard
I really wish I didn't feel this pain in my heart
I can't believe I really even made it this far
You can tell I been through hell and back
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Lately, it's been hard to breathe, It's like my lungs collapsed
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Tell 'em that

I can't believe this platform that I gained
I've been battling my demons since a really young age
And all I ever wanted was to help somebody with pain
Never think you are alone, way too many feel the same
Can't lie, often wonder how I made it this far
Thought I'd be dead by 21, I've been hiding the scars
I'm a closed book who only opens up through the art
Never question my intentions, only spoke from the heart
I'm just a small-town kid holding onto my dreams
Since day one, I never talk, only let the music speak
Dark nights, bright days, but there's no going back
The top really means more when you been through hell and back

Yeah
I really wish someone told me life was this hard
I really wish I didn't feel this pain in my heart
I can't believe I really even made it this far
You can tell I been through hell and back, you can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Lately, it's been hard to breathe, It's like my lungs collapsed
You can see the scars on me, I been through hell and back
Tell 'em that
