Lyrics

Chasing Dreams

Get that money yeah get that cash

Get that mansion so you can flash

All the material goods and create envy

But in the end, is that our dream?

Acquiescing to society?



We're all chasing dreams

We're all chasing dreams

But are we really?

We think the treasures on earth will be fulfilling

But when we die

What are we really chasing?



They say work, work, work until you die

But I think there's so much more to life

Live in the moment and bathe in sunshine

Gain perspective and appreciate what's mine

Don't let your dreams pass you by



We're all chasing dreams

We're all chasing dreams

But are we really?

We think the treasures on earth will be fulfilling

But when we die

What are we really chasing?



How about I dream to be a good parent?

Make a home my kids can thrive in

Impacting my community

Hunting the good stuff and

Grateful for what I have



We're all chasing dreams, we're all chasing dreams

But are we really, are we really?

We think the treasures on earth will be fulfilling

But when we die

What are we really chasing?



We're all chasing dreams

We're all chasing dreams

But are we really?

We think the treasures on earth will be fulfilling

But when we die

What are we really chasing?

False Promises

I feel stabbed in the back

Why did you make a promise you couldn't keep?

You turned my world upside down

Why can't things turn out the way they're supposed to be?



We had a bright future

One I looked forward to

If you weren't ready

Why did you agree to uniting us two?



False promises, uncommitted

I should have known better

Immaturity, no loyalty

You lied when you said forever



I know I need to work on some issues

Yet you found them unworthy to fight through

I never wanted to surrender

But you rejected me and my heart dismembered 



You fed me false promises

and disingenuous reassurance

I'm not sure how I'm going to

ever, ever recover from this



False promises, uncommitted

I should have known better

Immaturity, no loyalty

You lied when you said forever



My heart is in my stomach, I feel drained

You could have avoided causing so much pain 

How can you move on so quickly?

Did you not love me?



False promises, uncommitted

I should have known better

Immaturity, no loyalty

You lied when you said forever



False promises, uncommitted

I should have known better

Immaturity, no loyalty

You lied when you said forever



Oh, oh, you lied, I cried

Oh, oh, you were a fraud



False promises, uncommitted

I should have known better

Grateful

I'm imperfect, but you love me anyway

I'm imperfect, but you show me grace

Your forgiveness, I aspire to emulate

Anywhere with you is my favorite place



I'm grateful for you

I'm grateful for all that you do

'Cause all that I do is because of you

I'm grateful for you



Your sacrifice, you don't think twice, I am blessed

Your compassion, your patience, your benevolence

I have so much to learn, how did I earn someone as loving as you

Thank you for making my dreams come true



I'm grateful for you

I'm grateful for all that you do

'Cause all that I do is because of you

I'm grateful for you



When I feel low, when I feel down, you make me whole

When I am anxious, when I'm overwhelmed, you console

When I am lonely, when I'm despondent, you are there

I'm so grateful that you care



I'm grateful for you

I'm grateful for all that you do

'Cause all that I do is because of you

I'm grateful for you



I am so grateful for you

I'm grateful for

I'm grateful for

I'm grateful for you

I Know Better

The pain you've caused me is immeasurable

The damage you've done is irreparable

My body's been through a crash

Why do I keep coming back?

Right into your arms I drown

Craving comfort, but devastation's all I've found



I know better

I know my worth

So why do I continue to endure

Your verbal lashings and nasty words

I should know better

do I know my worth?



I go against all common sense

Logic's out the window when you promise recompense

I've never been a masochist

So why am I putting myself through this?

I'm aware of what I deserve

So why do I return to 

someone so insecure?



I know better 

I know my worth

So why do I continue to endure

Your verbal lashings and nasty words

I should know better

do I know my worth?



The extremes you've put me through are exhausting

The pain I've have had to endure has been costly

The scars on my heart provide the hard evidence

That you have torn it up over and over again

I loved you



I know better

I know my worth

So why do I continue to endure

Your verbal lashings and nasty words

I should know better

do I know my worth?



I know better

I know my worth

So why do I continue to endure

Your verbal lashings and nasty words

I should know better

do I know my worth?



I know better

I know my worth

So why do I continue to endure

Your verbal lashings and nasty words

I should know better

do I know my worth?



Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Oh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh



I know better

I know my worth

So why do I continue to endure?

Life in the Burbs

I prefer having a community

Where my kids can safely run free

Riding their bikes in a cul-de-sac

I want to live in a place like that



Life in the burbs gives you more space

More room for your kids and dogs to chase

Knowing my neighbors and having a yard

Life in the burbs is where the families are



It's not walkable but I have a car

No nightlife, no karaoke bars

But when do I have time for that?

I prefer family time and that's a fact



Life in the burbs gives you more space

More room for your kids and dogs to chase

Knowing my neighbors and having a yard

Life in the burbs is where the families are



To some it may be boring

Old fashioned and dull

But for me this is where life begins

An idyllic neighborhood with lots of kids



Life in the burbs gives you more space

More room for your kids and dogs to chase

Knowing my neighbors and having a yard

Life in the burbs is where the families are



Life in the burbs gives you more space

More room for your kids and dogs to chase

Knowing my neighbors and having a yard

Life in the burbs is where the families are



I want to live my life in the, in the burbs

Live Out Loud

When I live in the past, regrets

When I live in the future, anxiousness

When I live in the present, I'm at peace

So that's where you're gonna find me



You can't control everything, life isn't fair

Just rise above the noise, no need to compare



Thoughts can be debilitating, it's hard not to care

But I'm gonna do what I can, others won't define who I am



I want to live out loud, I want to scream and shout

That I'm going to embrace my time

I want to live in the present, be thankful

That I get to live my, that I get to live my life



Life is not a meritocracy, grant yourself grace

Sometimes it's just a lottery, find your own pace



Freely chasing my dreams, I feel alive

Time for me to spread my wings, so I can take flight



I want to live out loud, I want to scream and shout

That I'm going to embrace my time

I want to live in the present, be thankful

That I get to live my, that I get to live my life



Worrying's unproductive, so destructive

Gonna focus on the positive, be more cognitive

Gonna smell the roses and live in the now

My glass is half full and there's only up when I am down



I want to live out loud

I want to scream and shout



I want to live out loud, I want to scream and shout

That I'm going to embrace my time

I want to live in the present, be thankful

That I get to live my life



I want to live out loud, I want to scream and shout

That I'm going to embrace my time

I want to live in the present, be thankful

That I get to live my, that I get to live my life
