lyrics

Julia, you make me want to be better at what I do
When most things are said and done, but most are just said
Oh I wish I was in love, I wished I cared at all
But I'm too, busy in my own head. Too busy to care at all

i'm fooling myself, play kisses with the boys
But it's not the same as it ever was, or ever will be
Oh Julia, you make me want to better at what I do

(Rhyan)
I'm speaking from a place in my heart
Pitch black though i'm running not afraid of the dark
I got the vision like I'm chasing a spark,
I don't expect you to know it I feel the hate from afar,

You people misunderstand it I'm doing me now,
Trynna work a dream out
Playing on the downbeat so others get beat down,
I'm confident, I'm breaking ground in my accomplishments
I'm surprised you don't follow it honestly you're a part of it

I mean it's probably nothing I'm trynna speak to a group
of people that thought I was bluffing I cut them off when I come in
My heart's into something you never loved,
I need to be what I know, instead of what I become,

And look at what I was, listening to sounds
that I never heard before, while I'm sitting on the couch
In the middle of the room in the centre of the house,
I'm not singing this for you, this was written for the crowd

You're in love with a boy, because of the pain he brings
There's nothing more, terrifying
You want a man because of the way he sings, aren't you immune to fire that he brings
Stay away from people like that, i'll be here for all your pain
But it hurts my heart
Oh Julia, you make me wanna be better at what I dooooooo

(Maddy)
She said "don't worry, we'll figure it out eventually. Can't you see there's hope and everyone's screaming at me to believe it"

(Rhyan)
"Believe it" I can hear them say, screaming in my face
and I think in a different way, it was never fate
no matter what the people say, don't wanna change
heart's gotta stay the same

(Maddy)
Oh I love you, but I love myself more
Can't keep asking how can you afford me and not lose what I'm worth

(Rhyan)
This is my scene, and I never wanna leave
Yes I know I'm on the ground, I can get back on my feet,
Oh well, at least I got more time to myself
and I'm not doing this alone, I can find me some help, and I don't

I don't write songs like this
I don't ever feel like this
I don't like anything about this, but i'm glad that you're alive
