The Candace Brooks Band: LYRICS

LYRICS WILL BE BE POSTED SOON

FIGHTING THE INEVITABLE

I wanna wake up inside of your mind.
Pull up a chair, study all that you hide.
Your blood is rushing, it stalls at your skin
You’re so silent, our collide is violent.

Before you know it the tables they turn,
You’ve lost control but still you return.
Your blood is rushing, you’re so strung out
You’re so silent, our collide is violent

I know I know you can’t move
Build walls and my heart will beat through
I need love I need love I need you.
I know I know you feel it
But I’ll wait; I’ll let you say it
I need love I need love I need you

Your tongue is tangled, words caught in your throat
The vowels ricochet and cause you to choke.
Your blood is rushing, it stalls at your skin
You’re so silent, our collide is violent

I slide a hand down, releasing your clutch.
I feel you breathless the moment we touch
Your blood is rushing, you’re so strung out
You’re so silent, our collide is violent

I know I know you can’t move
Build walls and my heart will beat through
I need love I need love I need you.
I know I know you feel it
But I’ll wait; I’ll let you say it
I need love I need love I need you

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

RIB CAGE

I built these walls so high
You fail to see the light inside
Out of darkness I have stumbled,
What a mess, oh how I’ve fumbled
Hanging from my rope you climb,
I push you back to buy sometime
Wearing my emotions like the skin that’s plastered over my bones
Can’t you see I’m foolishly loosing at this battle raging in me?

One look, it took, for this, to start fallin
You walk, right by, don’t look, you got me crawlin x2

Take this beat straight from my rib cage;
This love won’t ever live past this page
I don’t need a broken promise
But faith in it is one thing I’ll miss
Stand up straight, don’t hesitate,
I’ll rest my eyes and lie and wait
Cuz when I dream I’m wide awake
So I can control the bend before I break

As I walk away,I tape the memories tight to my chest
And while I move so slow to the rhythm of each deep breath
I’ll smile from my soul, at all the ones that I like best

One look, it took, for this, to start fallin
You walk, right by, don’t look, you got me crawlin x2

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

DEVOTION

Smoking up looking out the window
Everything I see in you I fix in myself
Promise that I’ll never blame you
Nothing makes the past ok
I’m simply wasting
I’m waiting

This is me
This is where I am now
Setting on solutions just brings my soul down
Coasting on devotions just a former place in my life

If you keep your focus right
You won’t dare to loose your appetite
I won’t need you like this
You won’t need me like that
When people want what they can’t have
They forget to live
They forget to laugh
I won’t need you like this
I’ll be stronger than that

Well maybe this is what it has to be
So go ahead and do what ya think
Cause everything that you think you need
Will all the time be here in me..in me

If you keep your focus right
You won’t dare to loose your appetite
I won’t need you like this
You won’t need me like that
When people want what they can’t have
They forget to live
They forget to laugh
I won’t need you like this
I’ll be stronger than that

INSIDE OUT

Telephone me
When you’re not angry
Turn the light on too oh oh ohhh
Be the one I, hold all night
Turn this inside out oh oh ohhhh

I miss the you I used to know
Walk by me like I was a ghost
And now all I can say is who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
All I can say is who are you?

Come back home when
You’re done finding
There aint no one better than me oh oh ohhh
Be the one I, **** all night
Turn this inside out oh oh ohhhh

I miss the you I used to know
Walk by me like I was a ghost
And now all I can say is who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
All I can say is who are you?


Telephone me
When you’re not angry
Turn this inside out
I miss the you I used to know
Walk by me like I was a ghost
And now all I can say is who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
All I can say is who are you?

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

DON’T MOVE

Am I what you thought I should be?
Am I what you thought I should be?
I have no regrets, holding me down
Holding me down

And it’s your story
But you put it on me
Why can’t you learn?
From every bridge you burn?
Steady now as it grows
Realize what you don’t know
You can’t repair
The damage here

Am I what you thought I should be?
Am I what you thought I should be?
I have no regrets, holding me down
Holding me down

I look around this room
Sleepin inches from you
Pillows still in place
Such an empty space
Well, you love my fragility
But handled me with casualty
Come looking now, you won’t find me

Am I what you thought I should be?
Am I what you thought I should be?
I have no regrets, holding me down
Holding me down

Don’t move and nobody will get hurt
Don’t move and nobody will get hurt
I was more alive before I met you
Now I’m more alive because I let you

Am I what you thought I should be?
Am I what you thought I should be?
I have no regrets, holding me down
Holding me down

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

HARDEST GOODBYE

Someone break the news to my heart
That you’re not coming home this time
And I wonder will you think of me
Or will I be outta site, outta mind.
Are you holding back your tears?
I swear this is the hardest goodbye

One last thing before you go
Release my heart its all I know
One last thing before you leave
Place my heart back on my sleeve

Someone put this fire out
It’s smoldering the best of me
From morning to midnight
I’m wishing you were missing me
Are you holding back your tears?
I swear this is the hardest goodbye

One last thing before you go
Release my heart its all I know
One last thing before you leave
Place my heart back on my sleeve

One last thing before you go
Release my heart its all I know
One last thing before you leave
Place my heart back on my sleeve

Are you holding back your tears?
I swear this is the hardest goodbye

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

I’M NOT SORRY

I’m not sorry
Which way you pulling me this time?
And all your worries
Have got you trapped in your own mind
I’m not sorry
You can’t find your way back to the start
But I will always
Miss you asleep under my heart

I’d love to see you cry
What kind of fool am I?
To think this could ever be pulling you under
I’d love to see you cry
What kind of fool am I?
To think this could ever be pulling you under

I’m not sorry
To watch you drown in your own guilt
I can forgive but this is one bridge I won’t build
I’m not sorry
That now you’re just merely a memory
And un break what’s broken
There’s an empty ocean inside of me
.
I’d love to see you cry
What kind of fool am I?
To think this could ever be pulling you under
I’d love to see you cry
What kind of fool am I?
To think this could ever be pulling you under

Where are you now? I feel your eyes penetrate my skin
Where are you now? I feel you rush, feel you rush right in
Where are you now? Who’s to blame as you wear this thin?
Where are you?

I’d love to see you cry
What kind of fool am I?
To think this could ever be pulling you under
I’d love to see you cry
What kind of fool am I?
To think this could ever be pulling you under

Need you no more
Where are you now?Where are you?

I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR HEART

I’M GONNA BREAK YOUR HEART
GONNA TEAR IT APART
AND WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
I’LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO REGRET X 2

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET
I’M GONNA BLAME IT ALL ON YOU
IT’S SO DANGEROUS I AM CONTAGIOUS
WANNA KNOW MY MOTIVATION
BEHIND A DESTRUCTIVE SOUL
I DON’T MEAN TO INJURE OR RAILROAD

I’M GONNA BREAK YOUR HEART
GONNA TEAR IT APART
AND WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
I’LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO REGRET X 2

I’M BREATHING AT A FASTER PACE NOW
PLEASE DON’T COUNT ME OUT
HOLD ON TILL I’M SO OLD AND WORN OUT
THIS CITY JUST DRIVES ME CRAZY
I’VE BEEN SO UNGLUED
STEAL THE BLUEPRINTS OF MY MIND AND VIEWS

I’M GONNA BREAK YOUR HEART
GONNA TEAR IT APART
AND WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
I’LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO REGRET X 2

1 I DIDN’T MEAN IT
2 HOW COULD I MEAN IT
3 PLEASE FORGIVE ME MY HANDS ARE TIED NOW

I’M GONNA BREAK YOUR HEART
GONNA TEAR IT APART
AND WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
I’LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO REGRET X 2

RIGHT THRU

AND I ALWAYS RUN TO YOU

JUST LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE DONE
TEARIN ME TO PIECES TILL I CAN NOT EVEN RUN

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

GONE MISSING

WE WENT AND FELL OFF TRACK
A THOUSAND TIMES BUT I FEEL IT IN ME
I JUST CAN’T COME BACK
I’M LOOSING SANITY THESE MEMORIES
I FEEL SO EMPTY DON’T LEAVE ME EMPTY

REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID YOU’D NEED ME FOREVER
WHO THOUGHT IT'D EVER BE SO HARD TO STAY HAPPY
IT FALLS ON ME NOW IT’S ALL ON ME NOW
I CANT SIT STILL SO YOU WANNA SHOW ME HOW

I CHECKED THE LOST AND FOUND
STILL I CANT FIND YOUR HEART ITS MISSING
OH ITS GONE MISSING
NO MATTER HOW I TRY CANT FIND THE PASSION
IN YOUR EYES
GOD IN MISS YOUR EYES

REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID YOU’D NEED ME FOREVER
WHO THOUGHT IT'D EVER BE SO HARD TO STAY HAPPY
IT FALLS ON ME NOW IT’S ALL ON ME NOW
I CANT SIT STILL SO YOU WANNA SHOW ME HOW

BEYOND THIS HEARTACHE
I NEVER WANT TO WAKE UP WITH OUT YOU

REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID YOU’D NEED ME FOREVER
WHO THOUGHT IT'D EVER BE SO HARD TO STAY HAPPY
IT FALLS ON ME NOW IT’S ALL ON ME NOW
I CANT SIT STILL SO YOU WANNA SHOW ME HOW

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

REIGN OF MY HEART

I'M LIVING ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN YOUR EYES
MY HEART IS SORE FROM WANTING MORE
AND THOUGH YOUR SCREAMS GREW LOUDER
STILL YOU PULL TIGHTER
YOUR HEART IS SORE FROM WANTING MORE
I’M CASTING SIGNS AND SIGNALS IN YOUR DIRECTION
A SOUL CONNECTION FROM YOU NOW
I WANNA BREAK YOU IN NOW MOLD YOU AND PIECE YOU
TEACH YOU THE METHODS OF MY MIND

WHILE LIFE IT STEALS YOUR BREATH I PUMP THE OXYGEN
INTO YOUR CHEST I ALREADY CAUGHT YOU FALLIN

YOU’RE LIVING ON THE OUTSIDE
OPEN YOUR CLOSED EYES
SOLVE ALL THE SORROWS IN YOUR THOUGHTS
I WANNA HOLD YOU HIGHER SO YOU CAN FEEL IT
AS I CAN SEE IT WHERE I STAND
COME ON AND SHOW ME PASSION
MAKE ME BREATH HARDER
I WANNA FEEL YOUR FATAL BLOW.

WHILE LIFE IT STEALS YOUR BREATH I PUMP THE OXYGEN
INTO YOUR CHEST I ALREADY CAUGHT YOU FALLIN

LATELY BABY I’VE BEEN CRAZY WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU I ADORE YOU

RECKLESS

NO MATTER WHERE I SEEM TO GO
DENIALS GOT ME BY THE THROAT
AND I’M RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO HOLD ON
TO LEAN ON
AND I LOVED YOU SO HARD I COULD DIE
BROUGHT TEARS AND INNOCENCE TO LIFE
I WAS TOLD TO LOVE UNTIL IT HURTS
WELL IT HURTS


HOW AM I TO MOVE PAST THE LIES
AS I CHOKE ON YOUR ALIBIS?
ARE WE RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO FIGHT FOR
TO BREATHE FOR


BURY IT NOW RESCUE ME NOW
DON’T LET THIS LOVE FADE
RECKLESS YOU ARE HOLDING MY HEART
MAKE ME NOT AFRAID


I MISS YOU TANGLED IN MY SHEETS
I MISS THE TIMES I USED TO SLEEP
TELEVISIONS SO LOUD BUT IT WONT DROWN MY THOUGHTS OUT
I DREAM OF ONE LAST GOOD NIGHT KISS
AT A TIME BEFORE ALL OF THIS
I WAS TOLD TO LOVE UNTIL IT HURTS, WELL IT HURTS

BURY IT NOW RESCUE ME NOW
DON’T LET THIS LOVE FADE
RECKLESS YOU ARE HOLDING MY HEART
MAKE ME NOT AFRAID

HOW LONG X4
FEEL IT IN MY HEART WHEN ITS PUMPING BRAVERY
FEEL IT IN MY LIPS WHEN MY SOULS AT ITS KNEES AND I
I WANNA BREAK DOWN
HOW LONG X4
FEEL IT IN THIS VOID SLEEPING DEEP BETWEEN EACH BREATH
FEEL IT IN MY LUNGS BEFORE THEY CAVE INTO MY CHEST AND I
I WANNA BREAK YOU DOWN
HOW LONG X 4
FEEL IT IN THIS WORLD IN THIS LIFE IN THIS DREAM
FEEL IT IN THE TIME WHEN WORDS MEANT WHAT YOU MEAN
AND I, I WANNA BREAK THIS DOWN
HOW LONG X4

BURY IT NOW RESCUE ME NOW
DON’T LET THIS LOVE FADE
RECKLESS YOU ARE HOLDING MY HEART
MAKE ME NOT AFRAID

MY WEAKNESS

IT'S LATE AT NIGHT AND IT SEEMS I CAN'T GET TO SLEEP
THE DAWNING OF YOUR LIGHT HAS BROUGHT ME TO MY KNEES
CAN YOU FEEL ME STANDING THERE INSIDE YOUR MEMORIES
I CAN FEEL YOU DROWNING CAUSE THIS TIME YOU WENT TOO DEEP

AND MY WEAKNESS ALL ALONG IS THAT I'VE BEEN SO STRONG
BUT NOW THIS BATTLEFIELD I BUILT IS SADLY GONE
AND MY HEART IS BLISTERED FROM HOLDING ON SO LONG
IT COULD BE SO SIMPLE ONLY IF YOU WEREN'T SO WRONG

MY HEAD IS ACHING AND MY SOUL IS CRYING OUT
I LIVE AND DIE FOR ALL THE THINGS I DREAM ABOUT
AND I DON'T CARE HOW FAR YOU THINK THAT YOU'VE GOT TO RUN
YOU CAN SHARE YOUR TRUTHS NOW BABY WHEN YOU THINK YOUR DONE
I'VE DOWNED SO MANY SHOTS OF LIFE I TEND TO SLUR
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO TRAGIC THINGS I'M NOT AN AMATEUR
I WANNA RAISE YOU LIFT YOU HIGH ABOVE THIS MESS
TAKE MY LOVE AND PLANT IT DEEP INSIDE YOUR CHEST

AND MY WEAKNESS ALL ALONG IS THAT I'VE BEEN SO STRONG
BUT NOW THIS BATTLEFIELD I BUILT IS SADLY GONE
AND MY HEART IS BLISTERED FROM HOLDING ON SO LONG
IT COULD BE SO SIMPLE ONLY IF YOU WEREN'T SO WRONG

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

HERE AND NOW

YOU'RE ASKIN WHERE IVE BEEN, WHERE IVE BEEN
AND WHAT IVE BEEN DOIN
YOU'RE ACTING LIKE YOU LOVE, LIKE YOU LOVE
LIKE YOU MAY LOVE ME
BUT WHEN I GIVE IN, GIVE IN
YOU JUST STAND CLEAR
FROM ACTUALLY, EVER ACTUALLY GIVING INTO ME
SO I HAVE A SEAT, POUR A DRINK
LET THE FUCKING PHONE RING
I FEEL SO UN INSPIRED SO UN DESIRED BY YOUR WAYS

I'M SO LOST HERE
IN YOUR WARFARE
I SURRENDER I SURRENDER TO YOU NOW
I'M SO LOVE SICK
ARE YOU WORTH IT
I SURRENDER I SURRENDER TO YOU NOW

ITS AN AUTOMATIC SO DRAMATIC FUCKED UP WORLD
THE NOISES IN MY HEAD,IN MY HEAD
I CAN'T GET TO SLEEP
I JUST WANNA BE A BETTER ME THAN WHEN YOU LEFT ME
SO I POUR ANOTHER DRINK MORE I THINK AND MY HEART STEPS IN
CAUSE I DON'T WANNA TELL WANNA TELL YOU THAT I MISS YOU

I'M MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU TAKE ME FOR
AND I'M MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU BLAME ME FOR

I'M SO LOST HERE
IN YOUR WARFARE
I SURRENDER I SURRENDER TO YOU NOW
I'M SO LOVE SICK
ARE YOU WORTH IT
I SURRENDER I SURRENDER TO YOU NOW

(WRITTEN BY CANDACE BROOKS)

JADED

WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO COMPLICATED
WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO FUCKING JADED
WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO BEAUTIFUL?

IN THE MORNING LIGHT AND THE SKY ABOVE
I REMINISCE ON WHAT IT IS I AM MADE OF
AND WHAT I FIND IS OUT OF LINE
AND MY BEATING HEART IS AT YOUR DOOR
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I AM NOT HUNGRY
YEAH, YOU'RE WHAT I'M STARVING FOR

WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO COMPLICATED
WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO FUCKING JADED
WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO BEAUTIFUL?

AND THE DAYS GO BY
AND STILL I TRY TO CAREFULLY REVISE ALL OF ME
THE THINGS I WANT AND THE THINGS I NEED
ALL INTERTWINE WITH MY RHAPSODY
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I AM NOT HUNGRY
YEAH,YOU'RE WHAT I'M STARVING FOR

WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO COMPLICATED
WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO FUCKING JADED
WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO BEAUTIFUL?

IF YOU GO TAKE MY HEART WITH YOU
IF YOU LEAVE TAKE MY PRIDE WITH YOU
WHEN YOU'RE GONE I WONT HAVE NO NEED
FOR THE THINGS I WENT AND LENT YOU

WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO COMPLICATED
WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO FUCKING JADED
WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO BEAUTIFUL?

I FALL APART EACH TIME
YOU UP AND LEAVE ME
I GOT IT SO BAD
PLEASE BELIEVE ME
