ALBUM:   THIS IS US

This is us (Album This is US)

Got a million reasons to run and hide
I don’t blame you for being scared (for being scared, no)
Bout a novel long, all the pain that he’s caused you
Baby I’m fully aware (I’m fully aware)
I would change the stories ending to me and you
Don’t know the meaning of pretending what to do

CHORUS
I could be the one
Give you all my love
Forget what he has done to you
I’m here now
Open up to me
Love will set you free
If ever you believe it
Please believe in me

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is love
This is love
I’m here now
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is love
This is love
I’m here now

I know everything isn’t meant to last
Box up all those photographs
Your moving on (yeah)
I could flip back over that hour glass
And refill the better half (the better half)

And it’s a miracle how broken hearts can mend
Wont you dry up all those tear drops and start again

CHORUS
I could be the one
Give you all my love
Forget what he has done to you
I’m here now
Open up to me
Love will set you free
If ever you believe it
Please believe in me

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is love
This is love
I’m here now
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is love
This is love
I’m here now

If I could show you there’s no risk of being left alone
Would you let your past go
I’ll take it slow
Cause there’s no need to rush when I know

I could be the one
Give you all my love
Forget what he has done to you
I’m here now
Open up to me
Love will set you free
If ever you believe it
Please believe in me

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is love
This is love
I’m here now
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is love
This is love
I’m here now…

Undone (Album This is US)

Your words burn, they’re melting
What we have, I’m breaking down
No reason, no warning, no love loss
You might as well

Take our pictures off the walls tonight
I don’t wanna see you no more
I don’t wanna feel you no more
Take our memories, throw them all aside
I hope you finally get what you want
Now you know

I didn’t wanna live without ya
I didn’t wanna love without ya
I used to think I’d die without ya
Now it’s killing me
That we can be undone

I can’t feel without ya
You know I can’t deal without ya
And now I got a life without ya
Now it’s killing me
That we can be undone

This constant echoing
In my head,
I’m spinning round
You seem so unaffected
While I go on in this hell

Take our pictures off the walls tonight
I don’t wanna see you no more
I don’t wanna feel you no more
Take our memories, throw them all aside
I hope you finally get what you want
Now you know

I didn’t wanna live without ya
I didn’t wanna love without ya
I used to think I’d die without ya
Now it’s killing me
That we can be undone

I can’t feel without ya
You know I can’t deal without ya
And now I got a life without ya
And it’s killing me
That we can be undone

We can be undone

You’re talking now
and I’m hearin’ everything that you say
And I’m holding on is a real phrase
And it’s dragging me along to my grave
it’s dragging me to my grave

You’re talking now
and I’m hearin’ everything that you say
And I’m holding on is a real phrase
And it’s dragging me along to my grave

I didn’t wanna live without ya
I didn’t wanna love without ya
I used to think I’d die without ya
Now it’s killing me
That we can be undone
I can’t feel without you, You know I can’t deal without you
And now I got a life without you, and it’s killing me
That we could be undone

I didn’t wanna live without ya
I didn’t wanna love with ya
I used to think I’d die without ya
Now it’s killing me
That we can be undone
I can’t feel without you, You know I can’t deal without you
And now I got a life without you, and it’s killing me
That we could be undone

Shattered (Album This is US)



So empty, can’t feel no more,
As I’m left with my tears on the floor
I wait for my heart to mend,
But you keep tearing a hole

Inside, I’m so lost,
In the middle of my heart
It’s a battlefield of love,
I’ve been fighting for too long

And now I’m shattered,
(From the chip in my heart, kept taking it till it broke)
Oh how it hurts
(Felt) it slipped from your hand, hit the ground and now it’s shattered)
I’m so shattered
(Can’t believe it was me, I’m so shattered)
So shattered
(Can’t believe, you and me, ahh)
So shattered
(Can’t believe, you left me, I’m so shattered)
I’m shattered, cut from with-inside, oh

What am I still here for,
Could it be that I’m just waiting
Hoping you’d rescue me,
And put the pieces together again

Inside, I’m so lost,
In the middle of my heart
It’s a battlefield of love,
I’ve been fighting for too long

And now I’m shattered
(From the chip in my heart, kept taking it till it broke)
Oh how it hurts
(Felt it slipped from you hand, hit the ground and now it’s shattered)
I’m so shattered
(Can’t believe it was me, I’m so shattered)
So shattered
(Can’t believe, you and me, ahh)
So shattered
(Can’t believe, you left me, I’m so shattered)
I’m shattered, cut from with-inside, oh

Tell me what you’re really here for,
If you never really loved me
I gave my all but it still wasn’t enough

‘Cause all you had to say was that you ain’t
Looking for committment
Instead of telling me what I wanted to hear, oh-ho

You took my emotions
and scattered them on the ground
So hard to just pick up,
and move on with life, again

And now I’m shattered (Oooh)
(From the chip in my heart, kept taking it till it broke)
Oh how it hurts
(Felt it slipped from your hand, hit the ground and now it’s shattered)
I’m so shattered
(Can’t believe it was me, I’m so shattered)
So shattered
(Can’t believe, you and me, ahh)
So shattered
(Can’t believe, you left me, I’m so shattered)
I’m shattered, cut from with-inside, oh
So shattered

Can’t believe, you and me, ahh

She’s a dream (Album This is US)

OoohOooh
Oooh ooh ohh yeah
Ohh no
Yeah..

Shorty ain’t got cable,
She don’t even got a radio, way more than able.
What kinda girl should I take her for?
The perfect kind, just what I like,
exactly what I had in my mind, a dream…
She’s a dream… yeah..

Shorty don’t know I’m on the red carpet, almost every night.
And when I’m outta town to go and do work,
I’m first class every flight.
If she takes the time to open her eyes,
she can realize that she’s a dream…
cause she knows me…

Shorty don’t know who I am, she don’t know I’m a celebrity,
cause when I let her meet my fam, ain’t nobody mention my pedigree.
cause every time I take her out, we’re always in the VIP.
Shorty don’t know who I am, but she knows me…
That’s why I make her say: Ooh
Make her say: Aaah
Make her say: Uhhh
Make her say: Aaahh

Shorty don’t know who I am…

And I’m cool with that, if she says so
I even got a lot to her
And when I’m out making pesos?
Aint’ nobody treat her like I do her.
Cause I’m the one that she thinks about,
The only one on her mind,
She’s a dream…
cause she knows me…

Shorty don’t know that I’m on the stage,
like 3 or 4 times a week
she don’t even know I’ve been around the world
and all the different girls and me.
But there’s just one, face that I see
She’s the only one for me
She’s a dream..
cause she knows me….

Shorty don’t know who I am, she don’t know I’m a celebrity,
cause when I let her meet my fam, ain’t nobody mention my pedigree.
cause every time I take her out, we’re always in the VIP.
Shorty don’t know who I am, but she knows me…
That’s why I make her say: Ooh
Make her say: Aaah
Make her say: Uhhh
Make her say: Aaahh

See, shorty don’t know who I am
That’s not good for us, cause I know,
it’s not good to fuss
And I know she loves me, for me
and i love her, for her
but It wouldn’t work if she ever gave
a damn ‘bout who I am but she knows me

she don’t know I’m a celebrity,
cause when I let her meet my fam, ain’t nobody mention my pedigree.
cause every time I take her out, we’re always in the VIP.
Shorty don’t know who I am, but she knows me…
Uuuuuh
Make her say: Aaah
Make her say: Uhhh
Make her say: Aaahh

about me…

Masquerade (Album This is US)

This scene’s so hypnotic
Smoking mirrors, lights and magic
Paper faces in gold
There’s solider boys, beauty queens
Everyone’s a mystery
It’s got me losing control

Yearning, I’m yearning for the one to steal my eyes
Wanna play in this game of disguise

It’s a masquerade, a love parade
So won’t you stay and dance with me
All through the night and day
My masquerade, I need you baby
So stay with me tonight

Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade
Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade

Just like a perfect dream
I don’t ever wanna leave
A thousand freaks in the show
One’s a tiger, one’s a lynx
One’s a king that suffering
Moving high, moving low

Burning, I’m burning, can’t you see it in my eyes?
Wanna play in this game of disguise

It’s a masquerade, a love parade
So won’t you stay and dance with me
All through the night and day
My masquerade, I need you baby
So stay with me tonight

Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade
Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade

I gotta know the girl behind the mask
Let me in, where you’ve been, don’t pretend
Dreamed that I had her alone
Show your face to me, we could be everything

It’s a masquerade, a love parade
So won’t you stay and dance with me
All through the night and day
My masquerade, I need you baby
So stay

A masquerade, a love parade
So won’t you stay and dance with me
All though the night and day
My masquerade, I need you baby
So stay with me tonight

Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade
Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade, Masquerade

PDA (Kevin Borg) (Album This is US)

Intimacy’s
Fresh from my dreams
Over a triple X movie screen
I couldn’t care less about being seen
A higher self esteem if you’re on me?
(Ain’t that the way it’s supposed to be?)
I say baby do you think
Sugar so sweet should rot my teeth
But instead it just rottens me
Spoiled crazy

Public display of affection
(Gotta make ‘em)
Pointing in my direction
(Watch me, watch me)
Public display of affection
Makes them wish they had it this way

We’d be at the club, the restaurant, the grocery store or the movies
Kissing and touching with my hands all over your booty
Wherever it is, we is, I love it truly
Your PDA hey hey
(I want your PDA)
Your PDA, hey hey
(I want your PDA)
Your PDA hey hey
(I want your PDA)

Remember at the beach we brought the sheets
We were harassed by police
Good thing we didn’t go too deep
Everywhere we be the passion in me just screams
I just need you in my reach
Baby your suspense can be intense
It’s got me convinced, oh yeah
You’re the fingers to my instrument

Public display of affection
(Gotta make ‘em)
Pointing in my direction
(Watch me, watch me)
Public display of affection
Makes them wish they had it this way

We’d be at the club, the restaurant, the grocery store or the movies
Kissing and touching with my hands all over your booty
Wherever it is, we is, I love it truly
Your PDA hey hey
(I want your PDA)
Your PDA, hey hey
(I want your PDA)
Your PDA hey hey
(I want your PDA)

Your PDA, hey hey
Your PDA, hey hey
(I want your PDA)

From the lobby to the patio
(Boy you’re so crazy)
And we’re so compatible
From the Starbucks to the Navo
(hmm, nasty)
And we’re so compatible

We’d be at the club, the restaurant, the grocery store or the movies
Kissing and touching with my hands all over your booty
Wherever it is, we is, I love it truly
Your PDA hey hey
(I want your PDA)

Your PDA, hey hey
(I want your PDA)
Your PDA, hey hey
(I want your PDA)
Your PDA ,hey hey
Your PDA ,hey hey
(I want your PDA)

I wanna run
(I want your PDA)
All over your body
(I, I, I want your PDA)
I wanna run
(I want your PDA)
All over your body
(I, I, I want your PDA)

I want your PDA
Public display of affection
I want your PDA

If I Knew then (Album This is US)

Life should be like a game of cards
You make a mistake
Then fold the deck and start over
It should be just like drivin in your car
Get lost and your navigation system
Gets you closer

But there ain’t no handbook
You’re on your own
Got no instructions
When it comes to love
Cuz once you do something
Can’t be undone
Wish I could take back
Letting you go

If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have said
I don’t need you around
Alone in this mess
Silence is so loud
So I would treat you the best
Baby if I knew then
What I know now (What I know now)
What I know now (What I know now)
What I know now (What I know now)
Yeah I would treat you the best
Baby if I knew then
What I know now

Wish I get remote controls
Then I just rewind into
The time it was better
It should have a restart button
So, I could travel right back
To the day that I met her

But there ain’t no handbook
You’re on your own
Got no instructions
When it comes to love
Cuz once you do something
Can’t be undone
Wish I could take back
Letting you go

If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have said
I don’t need you around
Alone in this mess
Silence is so loud
So I would treat you the best
Baby if I knew then
What I know now (What I know now)
What I know now (What I know now)
What I know now (What I know now)
Yeah I would treat you the best
Baby if I knew then
What I know now

Cuz there ain’t no handbook
You’re on your own
Got no instructions
When it comes to love
See once you do something
Can’t be undone
Wish I could take back
Letting you go

If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have said
I don’t need you around
Alone in this mess
Silence is so loud
So I would treat you the best
Baby if I knew then
What I know now (What I know now)
What I know now (What I know now)
What I know now (What I know now)
Yeah I would treat you the best
Baby if I knew

If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have said
I don’t need you around
Alone in this mess
Silence is so loud
So I would treat you the best
Baby if I knew then
What I know now (What I know now)
What I know now (What I know now)
What I know now (What I know now)
Yeah I would treat you the best
Baby if I knew then
What I know now

Bye Bye love (Album This is US)

Yeah, yeah, oh,
Yeah, yeah,

You should be right here laying next to me
But baby you chose to love the hard way
You could be right here getting the best of me
But baby you decided he was your man

And now that you’re finding out
He’s playing little games, you calling me again
You say you want me around
But I’m not sure now if I wanna be down
Soooo..

I think I wanna stay single
Maybe we’re better apart
See I don’t want a girl
That, only wanna come back
Cause, some other man broke her heart

So Bye Bye Love
Bye Love
So Bye Bye Love (Bye Love)

It wasn’t long ago that you turned your back, no.
Saying there’s no way that we can work (We can work)
And you were quick to move on to the next day

He’s playing little games, you calling me again
You say you want me around

Bigger (Album This is US)

First off I cant keep a promise
I’m no one to count on at all
Add on that I’m a coward
To scared to return your calls

Chorus
But you don’t care
You keep sticking around
While I’m acting a clown
You’re bigger
Lalala
Cuz you’re still here
Your feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds
You’re bigger
Than me
Lalala

Its known that I’m a liar
Often I’m blacker than white
Add on my uncanny ego
No ones less humbled than I

Chorus
But you don’t care
You keep sticking around
While I’m acting a clown
You’re bigger
Lalala
Cuz you’re still here
Your feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds
You’re bigger
Than me
Lalala

All the messed up things I do
Yeah I swear I’ll make’em up to you
Before you’re going heaven knows
Just let me make it better
I’ll try to measure up
I’ll try to measure up to you

I’ll make it up to you

Chorus
But you don’t care
You keep sticking around
While I’m acting a clown
You’re bigger
Lalala
Cuz you’re still here
Your feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds
You’re bigger
Than me
Lalala

Straight Through my heart (Album This is US)

In the heart
Of the night
Where its dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest noise
A gunshot on the floor
Ohhhh Ohhhhh

I looked down
And my shirts turning red
Im spinning around
Felt her lips on my neck
And her voice in my ear
Like I missed you
want you tonight

Chorus:
Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I cant stop the bleeding
Ohhhh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just cant believe it
Ohhhh
No I cant resist
And I can’t be hit
I just cant escape this love
Straight through my heart
Soldier down(my heart)
Soldier down(my heart)

Thought I moved
More than on
Thought I could
Fool her charm
I really wanna go
But I cant leave her alone
Ohhhh ohhhh

Hear the sound
Of a love so loud
I just cant, I just cant
Ignore this feeling
Said she misses me
And she wants me
Wants me tonight

Chorus

In the heart
Of the night
When its dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest noise
A gunshot on the floor

Chorus

As Long As You Love Me

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I’m leaving my life in your hands
People say I’m crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can’t get you out of my head
Don’t care what is written in your history
As long as you’re here with me

Chorus:
I don’t care who you are
Where you’re from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you’re from
Don’t care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it’s deep within me
Doesn’t really matter if you’re on the run
It seems like we’re meant to be

Chorus

Bridge:
I’ve tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you are comin’ from
I don’t care, as long as you love me, baby.

Chorus

Who you are
Where you’re from
Don’t care what you did
As long as you love me
(Repeat to fade)

Show me the meaning of being lonely

Show me the meaning of being lonely
So many words for the broken heart
It’s hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I can feel the sun
Your every wish will be done

They tell me…

CHORUS
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can’t be there where you are
There’s something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze if only…
Guilty roads to an endless love
There’s no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

CHORUS – repeat

There’s nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be you’re asking me to feel the things you nevershow

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can’t be there where you are

CHORUS – repeat

Incomplete

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can’t find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I’d try to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I’d try to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Incomplete
