Can I get the real you, shoot me straight up/ I’m so sick of getting lost in your shake ups/ Splitting in two, throw me for a loop/ Make me feel like It’s a dream that I made up/ Tell me is it something real, should we break up/ What you wanna do, What you wanna do/
And it ain’t even hard to see/ It’s clear to me that you don’t really care/ Trying to do what’s best for me/ But honestly, I’m wrapped around your finger/
You don’t even speak, you just lie with your body/ Oh you’re gonna mess around and hurt somebody/ Pull me in close like you know you’ve got me/ Oh you’re gonna mess around and hurt somebody/
Telling me that you miss me/ Then you go and skip our plans for your friend’s thing/ Making me a fool - but baby I’m your fool/ And your body cues keep changing/ Are you leaving are you staying/ Cause I'm just so tired, never get any sleep/ Wondering if you’re mine, and should you ever be?/
And it ain’t even hard to see/ Like obviously - cause you’re not even here/ Trying to do what’s best for me/ Cause honestly I’m lost again - go figure/
Easy to believe when you lie with your body/ Oh you’re gonna mess around and hurt somebody/ Pull me in close like you know you’ve got me/ Oh you’re gonna mess around and hurt somebody/

Lyrics: Freed of the spell/ Slipping loose from the shell/ Start to feel something els/e And let go/
I can run but I can’t run to outrun it/ Something tells me I’m not living a dream/ Nothing’s missing and I don’t wanna miss it/ Cause maybe everything is just what it seems/ That’s just as well to let go/
Ready set go/ Ready set go/ Ready set go/ Ready set, ready set go/
Out from the haze/ I don’t need better days/ This is real, and that’s ok/ So let’s go/
I’ll just slip away to stop me from slipping/ I’ll just give myself some kind of control/ I’m done waiting for a life to start living/ It’s run its course and I’m taking hold/ I’m not afraid to let go/

LYRICS: Tucked away inside a feeling/ Safe cause walls are closing in/ I'll be here, holding onto the promise of day/ And just wait to begin again/
So find me when the night is through/ When the black skies break away to blue/ When dark gives into day, and the shadows rush away/ Find me when the night is through/
When the moon is high above me/ That's when I start to come undone/ It's a cold kind of light when the stars paint the sky/ I'll just wait for sun/
So find me when the night is through/ When the black skies break away to blue/ When dark gives into day, and the shadows rush away/ Find me when the night is through/
LYRICS: I could be talking the news, and you'd still spin it to you/ Because you're that vain/
Turn around, turn around all my words back on me/ Guess you've been keeping the score/ And all the things that I hoped and I thought you would be/ Well I don't think anymore/
Cause all the stupid things you call your quirks/ All start to look a little more like habits running out of control/ And I thought I started seeing things - like those red flags you waved at me/ Now I just guess I'm glad that I know/
It's not about you for once, babe/ I could be talking the news, and you'd still spin it to you/ Because you're that vain/ How'd you get to be so narcissistic?/ I think I figured you out, so sucker somebody else/ With Gaslight Games/
My mistake, I forgot that you just couldn't be/ Anything less than right/ Pick at all my insecurities/ Just the way that you pick fights/

LYRICS: There’s gotta be someone better/ Someone I’d wanna be/ When you think of forever/ Do you really see me?/
As long as I can remember/ Don’t think I ever believed/ in any happily ever after endings/
I’m spiraling, and finally../
Running to you, running to you/ Why can’t I just let myself love/ Somebody new, somebody new?/ And start pushing through/ The voice I can’t hush/ That keeps showing up/ To tell me I’m not enough/ All I wanna do, I wanna do/ Is get to running to you/
I don’t love my reflection/ I’m not a fan of my moods/ Chronic fear of rejection keeps the real me from you/

LYRICS: Come on and tell me - what did I do wrong?/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/
You keep saying to me what I've heard before/ How no, it's not me - how I'm not the reason/ You let me down easy, but I can't ignore/ My part in the things that led to the tailspin/
So come right out and say now/ All the things you left out/ Go ahead and spread the blame/ And tell me.../
Tell me what I/ Tell me what I/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/ Cause I don't wanna/ I don't wanna/ Chalk it up as one to none/ Quit pretending that I'm blameless/ And tell me what I/ Tell me what I/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/
Come on and tell me - what did I do wrong?/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/
You're protecting me from things that I've done/ Yeah, you're treating me like I've been the victim/ And I wanna hear you say it/ Bring me back to mistakes I already know/ Cause it isn't you or me, it's you and me, so.../
So come right out and say now/ All the things you left out/ Go ahead and spread the blame/ And tell me.../
Tell me what I/ Tell me what I/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/ Cause I don't wanna/ I don't wanna/ Chalk it up as one to none/ Quit pretending that I'm blameless/ And tell me what I/ Tell me what I/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/
Come on and tell me - what did I do wrong?/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/
Blameless.../
So come right out and say now/ All the things you left out/ Go ahead and spread the blame/ And tell me.../
Tell me what I/ Tell me what I/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/ Cause I don't wanna/ I don't wanna/ Chalk it up as one to none/ Quit pretending that I'm blameless/ And tell me what I/ Tell me what I/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/
Come on and tell me - what did I do wrong?/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/
Blameless.../
Tell me - what did I do wrong?/ Cause I don't wanna/ I don't wanna/ Chalk it up as one to none/ Quit pretending that I'm blameless/ And tell me what I/ Tell me what I/ Tell me - what did I do wrong?/

LYRICS: Can’t seem to get used to being alone/ Still beats the worst times with you though/ Sworn off of us and finally let you go/
And I feel you creepin’ a little closer/ But my chip says I’m six months sober/ And I don’t think it’s you that I want/ What harm could it do to see your/
Shadow floating in the corner/ Replaying nights you came over/ Leaving out all the things I hate most/ I think I’m in love with your ghost/
Blind spots I leave in the rearview/ Hide all the worst things about you/ So whats wrong keeping a thing or two?/
And I feel you creepin’ a little closer/ But my chip says I’m ten months sober/ And I don’t think it’s you that I want/ So what harm could it do to see your…/

LYRICS: Checking out of my hotel/ Ok...motel/ What's the difference anyway? Just a couple places I won't tell you what I wanna say/
Are we just your distraction/ Or do you see a future happening?/ We get so scared of making plans/
We're passing out at 6:02/ As the sun breaks between the trees/ Our elephant is bursting through the walls/ Shouting, 'what are we?'/ I know I don't belong to you/ And I know you don't belong to me/ But even if it's not quite love/ It's half-past casually/ And we're living in the in-between/
Hanging out with my boyfriend/ ...I mean 'just friend'/ What's the difference anyway?/ Our tongues are tied, and I'm not saying what I wanna say/

Lyrics: Only like me in the night time/ Only like me in the night time/ Now it’s the day/ Point your finger at me like I’m.../ Point your finger at me like I’m.../ Someone to blame/ Tell me to move in closer/ Tell me to take things slower/ Wish you’d tell me that you’re not mine/ So I could get you out of my mind/
Cause I can’t seem to shake/ That time, your place/ I can’t escape/ The feeling that I’m going under/
Hands are to the sky as I surrender/ You’re the reason why I keep pretending/ Why’d you go and do it Yeah, you put me through it/ Left me to chase/ Throw my hands up to the sky/ Oh, I surrender/ 2
What you give is what you got now/ What you give is what you got now/ Take it away/ If I had you with me right now/ If I had you with me right now/ Yeah, I would stay/
Our love is so bipolar/ I hate you, come on over/ I know that I'd be better without/ But I'm hanging here in lockdown/MAKING A SONG - Hands with Alaina Cross (PART 3: Artwork)REDDER2021-07-07 | Here's how artwork plays a role in helping my songs tell their stories.

LYRICS: You are something better in my head/ And all the flags are turning red, but I keep pulling at the thread/ Cause it’s like oh ah - playing straight into your games/ While I keep losing all the same, but I can’t keep myself away/ So baby/
Tell me where, tell me where does this lead to/ I’ll be there, I’ll be there, sticking like glue/ I don’t care, I don’t care - waiting by you, I’ll just wait for you/
To send me home/ Tear my heart out and make me go/ Just send me home/ Tell me you’d rather be alone/ And send me home/
We are something different in my head/ I always dig through what you said to find the signals I misread/ And I don’t know what you want from me/ I guess I just thought we could be something more than this/ Cause I don’t know what this is/
Tell me where, tell me where does this lead to/ It ain’t fair to leave me here, looking for clues If you don’t care, just don’t care - don’t pretend to, cause I’m here waiting for you/
To send me home/ Tear my heart out and make me go/ Just send me home/ Tell me you’d rather be alone/
Cause baby/ You’re not just anybody/ And I wanna be somebody/ To you, so you’ll have to/ Just send me home/ Tell me you’d rather be alone/ And send me home/
Tell me where does this lead to/ I’ll be there sticking like glue/ I don’t care - waiting by you/ I’ll just wait for you/
To send me home/ Tear my heart out and make me go/ Just send me home/ Tell me you’d rather be alone/

LYRICS: Thinking up brand new ways to fake it/ While laying new bricks up top the walls that we created/ But I’m still running the scripted lines, and picking how to say 'em/ But whenever the lights come up, can’t keep myself from hesitating/
Working up different ways to stage it/ Taking a bow before a theater that’s vacated/ Like our empty connection that we keep on cultivating/ Watch the awards from home, pretending we got nominated/
So baby we’ll act out the scenes, and I’ll keep on playing along/ But when you’re right next to me, I can’t help but feeling alone/ So we’re gonna fake up some feelings, on with the show/ Just like all good actors do/
We take any chance to talk around it/ Cause we’d rather just push it down than ever talk about it - all the/ Fake smiles, fake love, fake happy/ Post this, post that, post sappy/ And play it convincing, so no one ever gets the chance to doubt it/
We’re co-stars in make believing/ We wonder just who we’re being/ We’re over love that’s pretending/ So let’s stop pretending/

LYRICS: It started with a kiss and it rushed along/ A quarter after 6 when I found you gone/ I said it wasn’t comin, I guess I said wrong/ But a girl can dream/ A record on repeat, we’re heels over head/ Without skippin a beat, say you want me dead/ It’s how it always goes, and I’m fine with that/ But a girl can dream/
So take your clothes and baby take your love/ Why don’t you take it all/ I’m gonna forget every word you said/ I’m gonna screen your calls/ And I don’t think I’ll be missing what we had/ Cause you make me feel so bad/
Always pickin fights, you’re still lovin me/ At least that’s what you try to get me to believe/ You blow all my money, things you didn’t need/ I guess a boy can dream/ But now I don’t wanna be, no I don’t wanna be/ A part of anything that’s got a thing to do with you/ It’s how it’s gotta go, and I’m good with that/ But a girl can dream/
So take your clothes and baby take your love/ Why don’t you take it all/ I’m gonna forget every word you said/ I’m gonna screen your calls/ And I don’t think I’ll be missing what we had/ Cause you make me feel so bad/
It started with a kiss and it rushed along/ A quarter after 6 when I found you gone/ I said it wasn’t comin, I guess I said wrong/ But a girl can dream/

LYRICS: I need to be better to myself/ But I want you instead of someone else/ And my issue is so easy to see/ I love what’s bad for me/
Cause it feels so good in the moment/ But the moment always ends/ Then it’s back to me just waiting/ For the text you’ll never send/ Are you always gonna vanish when you say you’re gonna stay/ And why do I pretend that it's okay?/
And it’s been 24 missed calls drenched in alcohol/ A nightstand’s worth of souvenirs/ You got me driving coast to coast, out to catch your ghost/ Cause you don’t get to disappear/
No you don't get to disappear/
I ought to catch onto red flags/ A blind eye to your disappearing act/ Got all my friends saying move along, go do better, but I…/ But I love what’s bad for me/
Cause it feels so good in the moment/ But the moment always ends/ Then it’s back to me just waiting/ For the text you’ll never send/ Are you always gonna vanish when you say you’re gonna stay/ And why do I pretend that it's okay?/
And it’s been 24 missed calls drenched in alcohol/ A nightstand’s worth of souvenirs/ You got me driving coast to coast, out to catch your ghost/ Cause you don’t get to disappear/
No you don't get to disappear/
It’s so good for a moment/ But the moment always ends/ Then it’s back to me just waiting/ Til the moment comes again/ Is it my attempt to bring you closer that keeps on pushing you away?/ And why do I pretend this is okay?/
And it’s been 24 missed calls drenched in alcohol/ A nightstand’s worth of souvenirs/ You got me driving coast to coast, out to catch your ghost/ Cause you don’t get to disappear/

LYRICS: Got all the covers on my side but I’m still freezing/ Wide awake without the sound of you here breathing/ I'm missing pillow talk with ya/ I just wanna talk to ya/ I just wanna hear your voice again/ I’m not thinking 'bout the bed where you’ve been sleeping/ And I’m not drinking 'bout the company you’re keeping/ Just wishing it was me with ya/ I still wanna be with ya/ I just wanna feel the warmth again/
Ooh/ I didn’t know it was all gonna feel so/ Cold/ Ice to the heart when I had to watch you go/ So wait a minute, just wait a minute/ I’ve frozen over you/
Don’t wish for Summer til you’re in the dead of Winter/ Looking back those stupid fights feel so much simpler/ I'm thinking we could talk through it/ I just wanna talk to ya/ I just wanna hear your words again/ And I didn’t know what I was letting myself do/ When I just stood still and watched the door close behind you/ Should've never let you leave/ Because now I wanna be with ya/ I just wanna feel the heat again/
Ooh/ I didn’t know it was all gonna feel so/ Cold/ Ice to the heart when I had to watch you go/ So wait a minute, just wait a minute/ I’ve frozen over you/ Ooh/ Just like a dream and I’m stuck running in slow../ Mo/ I’m calling out, but I’m never gonna reach you/ So wait a minute, just wait a minute/ I’ve frozen over you/

LYRICS: I never listen/ Whenever my heart starts telling me to break some distance/ I drop the call/ Keep playing the victim/ Whenever I’m caught red-handed loading ammunition/ Cause after all/
I don’t let them/ Get too close and take my weapon, yea/ Keep em guessing/ One more step towards retrogression, yea/ When my affection/ Starts to feel more like aggression, yea/ My twisted-up love free-for-all/ Sabotage/
Oh oh oh oh, love/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ Lock up my heart behind the walls/ Sabotage/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ My twisted-up love free for all/ Sabotage/
My good intentions/ They always get lost along the way, or I keep them hidden/ My fault again/ And I always filter out the parts of me/ They might not like, so they only see/ A market-tested shell of who I am/
Oh oh oh oh, love/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ Lock up my heart behind the walls/ Sabotage/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ My twisted-up love free for all/ Sabotage/
I don’t let them, yeah/ I don’t let them, yeah/ Keep em guessing/ One more step towards retrogression, yeah/ When my affection, yeah/ More like aggression, yeah/ My twisted-up love free for all/ Sabotage/
Oh oh oh oh, love/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ Lock up my heart behind the walls/ Sabotage/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ Oh oh oh oh, love/ My twisted-up love free for all/ Sabotage/
