Thank you for taking my call when I wasn't feeling well Thank you for talking to me when I needed to talk to you I trusted the wrong people and they fought to bring me down Thank you for being so kind when you clearly didn't have to Thank you for being my friend when you could have said goodbye I trusted the wrong people and they fought to bring me down But with you in my life I won’t fail anymore With you in my life I won’t fail anymore You're like a blanket A moth-worn blanket of stars Thank you for making me laugh when all I could do was cry Thank you for holding me up when I couldn't take a step I trusted the wrong people and they fought to bring me down But with you in my life I won’t fail anymore With you in my life I won’t fail anymore You're like a blanket A moth-worn blanket of stars Your love has carried me across the universe Your love has carried me across the universe Thank you for accepting me when I was a little insecure Thank you for not taking me when I was vulnerable I trusted the wrong people and they fought to bring me down But with you in my life I won’t fail anymore With you in my life I won’t fail anymore You're like a blanket With you in my life I won’t fail anymore With you in my life I won’t fail anymore With you in my life I won’t fail anymore You're like a blanket A moth-worn blanket of stars Yeah a moth-worn blanket of stars Oh a moth-worn blanket of stars

Confusion topples my heroism Drowned desires sink my ship Others live without these worries I long to be like them but I can’t I was not made for this world I was not I was not made for this world I was not made I was not made I was not made for this world Push me over I bend like willow Why nothing suits me I don’t know Ancient herbs smooth my surface But what can cure this disappointment I was not made for this world I was not I was not made for this world I was not made I was not made I was not made for this world Choices made now regretted Find the strength to carry on My spongy skin soaks up too much Heavy with these graven ills Birds replace this techno hum Trees to comfort and protect Oh God let me destroy them all So I can’t hear this culture roar I was not made I was not made I was not made for this world- (I was not) I was not made I was not made I was not made for this world No I was not made I was not made I was not made for this world I was not I was not I was not made for this world I was not I was not I was not made for this world

I had a vision I poured it out for you What do I do to make you mine I started thinking I wanted to be pure What do I do to make you mine I ripped my heart out and I held it out for you What do I do to make you mine I told you secrets I opened up my soul What do I do to make you mine I never wanted to be cruel I only wanted to be kind I listened to you I took your life inside What do I do to make you mine I studied hard to teach you how to live What do I do to make you mine I traveled and I showed you what I found What do I do to make you mine I did a bad thing and I asked you to forgive me What do I do to make you mine I only wanted to be beautiful I only wanted to be love I gave you joy I gave you happiness What do I do to make you mine I gave you love that you have never had What do I do to make you mine What do I do to make you mine What do I do to make you mine

He's Not Gay (He Just Doesn't Like You) 03:39

So you’ve been slighted Love unrequited He’s beautiful and clean A gentleman your dream With lips you long to kiss He’s perfect but the dis Honey he’s not gay he just doesn’t like you I know you think he lives a lie Honey he’s not gay he just doesn’t like you I’m sorry if that makes you cry Oh I saw you flirting And now you’re hurting You were hoping for a fling But your heart has felt a sting Yeah he put you in your place Handle it with grace Honey he’s not gay he just doesn’t like you I know you think he lives a lie Honey he’s not gay he just doesn’t like you I’m sorry if that makes you cry Well yeah it’s true the boy can shop And he looks good And he turns all heads In our neighborhood But there’s nothing you can do If he’s not calling you Though you’re broken up inside Honey pull back on your pride He’s not gay he just doesn’t like you I think that I could clarify Well honey he’s not gay he just doesn’t like you I know ‘cause I’m his alibi

She’s going away Like the setting sun There will come a day Like the setting sun She won’t shine anymore So go down by the water’s edge She’s going away Like the setting sun There will come a day Like the setting sun She will light up the sky Don’t turn your back on her now Stay and hold her hand That’s all you can do It’s a beautiful part of the day And dying is a part of life so they say You can’t ask why Why doesn’t change a thing It just comes anyway Like the setting sun Say goodbye To the setting sun Shining her light On everyone And when she’s gone May her memory remain Like the setting sun Shine on momma Shine on for me Like the setting sun Shine on momma Shine on for me Like the setting sun Shine on momma Shine on for me Like the setting sun Shine on momma Shine on for me Like the setting sun Shine on momma Shine on for me Like the setting sun Shine on momma Shine on for me Like the setting sun Like the setting sun

We both know how it is When you can’t say what’s so I can try to pretend But I think that you know How I feel about you When I’m with you it’s great How I long for your love How much more can I take If you were my boyfriend I’d shower you with kisses so fine If you were my boyfriend I’d cover you with kisses all mine You’re the one that I want The one I care about It’s your love that I need And I can’t live without If you were my boyfriend I’d shower you with kisses so fine If you were my boyfriend I’d cover you with kisses all mine We’d walk down the street Holding hands for everyone we see Tranquility Cause you’d be with me And I’d be with you endlessly You can see what you want to see It’s easy You can be who you want to be It’s easy But when you’re sitting around Your life is slipping away If I knock on your door Will you come out to play If you were my boyfriend I’d shower you with kisses so fine If you were my boyfriend I’d cover you with kisses all mine If you were if you were if you were if you were If you were if you were if you were if you were If you were if you were if you were if you were If you were if you were if you were if you were mine

Hush now go to sleep I will greet you in the morning Day is done night is come I will greet you in the morning Lay your head in your bed I will greet you in the morning Close your eyes to lullabies I will greet you in the morning Every day I see your face Shining like the sun Another day time to play I will greet you in the morning Go to sleep soul to keep I will greet you in the morning I will greet you in the morning I will greet you in the morning I will greet you in the morning
