I’m Only Human by Melodie Yvonne

I know sometimes I make you mad
And maybe days I make you sad
But know that I am super sorry
I don’t mean to make you worry

I love you with all my heart
And even when we are apart
I think of days when we’re together
And it clears my cloudy weather

So just please forgive my stupid
Understand I’m only human
But I’ll keep tryin’ to be more like you
‘Til one day I’m beautiful too

I Just Get Addicted to Things by Melodie Yvonne

Had so much struggle and strife in my life
It’s hard to keep my head above water
And even in moments I think I can breathe
There’s another thing dragging me under

I take one more hit, one more secondhand breath
‘Til that haze fills my head and I’m drifting
My lips start to part ‘round the barrel of that gun
And now finally again I am living

I can’t help myself I’m a puppet with strings
I’m just tryin’ to be an angel and earnin’ my wings
But I can’t help myself I’m a child on a swing
And I just get addicted to things

Your eyes fill my windows and look in my soul
I can’t breathe but somehow I don’t need to
I forget about the drugs, I don’t want to get high
‘Cause I’m high every moment I’m near you

But now when you’re gone the time drags too long
And I’m craving a glimpse of your face
I know you’ll make right by the end of the night
When I feel my hearts quickening pace

I can’t help myself I’m a puppet with strings
I’m just tryin’ to be an angel and earnin’ my wings
But I can’t help myself I’m a child on a swing
And I just get addicted to things

Well now I’m alone and you’re gone and I’m broke
My cracked achin’ heart is just part of your joke
I take out that needle and pack 80 grams
Then I’m sailing away ’til I’m all high again

I can’t help myself I’m a puppet with strings
I’m just tryin’ to be an angel and earnin’ my wings
But I can’t help myself I’m a child on a swing
And I just get addicted to things

Maybe by Melodie Yvonne

Should I have said you won’t see me again?
Should I have told you that this is the end?
Should I have wrapped my arms tighter ’round you?
Maybe I should’ve but what could I do?

It took me a lifetime to build up the courage
Took me so long to choke down all my nerves
Took every ounce of every spine that I had left
To walk through those doors knowing you couldn’t care less

Maybe I wasn’t as brave as I could be
Maybe if I’d followed you’d have wanted to be with me
But even when you lead I still end up alone
You let snakes fill your house and left me in the cold

Now I can’t compete with that slithery nature
And I won’t bow down to your twin’s siphoned stature
So all that is left is a check you can’t cash
From a piece of my heart that you ground into ash

Should I have said you won’t see me again?
Should I have told you that this is the end?
Should I have wrapped my arms tighter ’round you?
Maybe I should’ve but what could I do?

On Fire by Melodie Yvonne

I’m tryin’ to learn the difference ‘tween distraction
And the path you’ve led me on
But sometimes I get lost
And at what cost?

I’m tryin’ to learn the difference ‘tween my hurry
And selfless worry
But it’s so hard
And I’ve got scars

Maybe they have them too?

I’m tryin’ to learn the difference ‘tween the truth
Without an ounce of proof
But I’m tired
And I’m on fire

I’m tryin to learn the difference ‘tween where I should be
And I should leave
But I’m too far
And it’s so hard

Do they know I’m hurting too?

I’m tryin to learn the difference ‘tween my love
And all my love for you
But you lied
My hands are tied

I’m tryin to learn the difference ‘tween where I should be
And I should leave
But I’m tired
And I’m on fire

Are we all on fire too?

Your Savior by Melodie Yvonne

Never underestimate my love for you
always know I’ll be there if you’re feeling blue
trust me when I say there’s nothing I won’t do
except just give my heart away to someone new

Believe me when I tell you that my heart is breaking
last thing that I wanna see is you get shaken
but most times people have to see with their own eyes
‘cause addictions can be friendships through denial’s eyes

Never underestimate my love for you
always know I’ll be there if you’re feeling blue

I wish I could just give you faith and make you see me
I wish I could just save your soul without you bleeding
salvation’s just a narrow road you walk alone
but I’ll be right here when you turn ‘round to come back home

Never underestimate my love for you
always know I’ll be there if you’re feeling blue
trust me when I say there’s nothing I won’t do
except just give my heart away to someone new

Trust me when I say there’s nothing I won’t do
except just give my heart away to someone new

Taste Life by Melodie Yvonne

She don’t need just a record deal
She needs to get the hell outta here
But all this time she feels she’s wastin’
She don’t know is just a taste of

This whole life that’s ’bout to come
Sometimes it can be so fun
So don’t you think that times a’wastin’
In this life you gotta taste it

She’s not scared to fight her fears
So she can get the hell outta here
But she’s scared her heart’s been wasted
‘Cause she forgets this life’s been fated

And her whole life that’s ‘bout to come
Sometimes it can be so fun
So don’t you think that times a’wastin’
In this life you gotta taste it
