Logic and Love
i knew i was in love with her
but we were just friends
i wanted to tell her
just didn't know where to begin
I didn't know how it would end
would she say she felt the same
or we would just be better friends
see my heart was aching
aching for her to love me back
but something in my mind told me i should probably take a step back
but of course I didn't listen to that
i followed my heart
they say it could never steer you wrong
maybe she's what i was missing all along
but of course that feeling didn't last long
I constantly asked myself...

Changing Roles
what if i just left?
just got up and walked out
and not give a damn about how you felt
what if i did you like you do me?
lied to you , cheated on you
like you never meant shit to me
what if the roles changed?
would you still think of me the same?
probably not because you would feel my pain
and finally figure out
the real reason why i act out
and you would finally figure out
the reasons i dont trust you
because its a little more than the basic trust issues
so what if i left like i never gave a damn about you and how you felt

Trayvon's Ballad
The rain fell softly on his head
So he put up his hood
Another young black boy
No one understood
He never knew someone was watching
Sitting in their car
Secretly plotting
So he kept on walking
His hands buried in his pockets
Holding onto his skittles and a sweet tea
To wash it down with
But the man in the car didn't know
He was barely seventeen
Not that he cared
To him, he was the ultimate enemy
Not aware of the steps behind him
Or even of the man at all
He didn't even know that on this day
He would take...

You Win
you win
you have completely broken me within
and i vow to never fall in love again
because i know it will always end up like this
I'll always end up crying until the sun comes up
and you'll always be fine
because i was never good enough
in the first place
so there you go
you win
and now I'm only left with
a shattered heart within
you have completely broken me within
and i vow to never fall in love again
because i know it will always end up like this
I'll always end up crying until the sun comes up
and you'll always be fine
because i was never good enough
in the first place
so there you go
you win
and now I'm only left with
a shattered heart within

It's Over
It's over
I see that now
I never thought i could smile
Without you
But damn I'm so much better
Without you
I realized I had to let it go
Cause you was never gonna show
That you cared
I was always scared of losing you
But I never knew how good it would feel
To be without you
It's over
I see that now
I never thought i could smile
Without you
But damn I'm so much better
Without you
I realized I had to let it go
Cause you was never gonna show
That you cared
I was always scared of losing you
But I never knew how good it would feel
To be without you
It's over

Isolation
Isolation
They say it's the best medication
For any complication
That you have
I guess it's the only option
That I have
Because no one seems
To understand
The pain that I hold in
The tears that I won't let flow
Because I can't show
That I'm breaking down
Yes I'm sensitive and I'm jealous
Because I don't know what happens now
It's getting hard for me to smile
Because I know you're not around
So that's how I ended up here
Alone and isolated
My happiness?
I don't even have the strength
To fake it
I guess the...

The Seams
I grew up in between
The seems of black & white
At home, everyone around me
Was black
But at school, it was different
I never really fit in
At home, I was too smart to be black
And at school, I was too black to smart
No one knew i felt like this
I guess I didn't know how to express it
Maybe I was too young to see
The difference
Or maybe it was already evident to my parents
Maybe they always knew that
Their little black girl
Would be able to change
The opposing view that had set in
Yeah, they knew
