Yours Everlong by Melodie Yvonne

How do I tell you that you’re going to lose me
When you’re the only one that never abused me
How do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When you’re the only one that never did me wrong

I’ve tried and I’ve tried to give you this warning
I’ve tried and I’ve tried to warn you evil’s swarming
But all I’ve been doing is failing this mission
I just don’t know how to make you stop and listen

How do I tell you that you’re going to lose me
When you’re the only one that never abused me
How do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When you’re the only one that never did me wrong

I’ll tell you my truth there’s no in between my lines
My feelings for you are written all over my eyes
But as much as I want to I can’t stay here with you
My path is so narrow and you’re still hauling two

I wish I could stay with you right by your side
See my heart is all yours and I got nothing to hide
I gutted myself and showed you my insides
But it’s just not enough to match all of those lies

How do I tell you that you’re going to lose me
When you’re the only one that never abused me
How do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When you’re the only one that never did me wrong

How do I tell you that you’re going to lose me
When you’re the only one that never abused me
How do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When you’re the only one that never did me wrong

Oh how do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When my heart will be yours truly everlong

Boomerang by Melodie Yvonne

You’re a dirty coyote that needs kept on a leash
All of that power needs kept out of reach
But just to escape you’d chew off your leg
Then duct tape it on to drag me to my grave

You’re Pinhead and Freddy without as much charm
We both better pray you don’t do any harm
‘Cause I see that boomerang coming back at you
From a hand in the sky that’s about to beget you

Please walk away before this gets really nasty
Or I’ll find you help if only you’ll ask me
But never look back and say I didn’t warn you
When all of your karma finally comes back to swarm you

You’re Pinhead and Freddy without as much charm
We both better pray you don’t do any harm
‘Cause I see that boomerang coming back at you
From a hand in the sky that’s about to beget you.

My Weird Eyes by Melodie Yvonne

The brightness it frightens me most everyday
‘Cause my weird eyes they work in mysterious ways
And sometimes it hurts so bad I’d gouge them out
But I can’t cause then I can’t see what you’re about.

See my weird eyes they work in mysterious ways
But I’ll never tell you the things they might say
And I’ll see all your follies but you won’t see mine
I’ve just been at this longer than you’ve had the time

And yeah sometimes it hurts so bad I’d gouge them out
But I’ll never betray to you what I’m about
Just remember I see when you can’t see yourself
So don’t hide yourself from me like everyone else

The brightness it frightens me most everyday
‘Cause my weird eyes they work in mysterious ways
And sometimes it hurts so bad I’d gouge them out
But I can’t cause then I can’t see what you’re about

No I can’t cause then I can’t see what you’re about.

Oh Nope It’s Gone by Melodie Yvonne

Why should I be sad that, oh nope it’s gone
Because it happens all the time and it doesn’t last long
If I just take a minute to try to stop and listen
I’d think of something else to replace my words that’s missin’

I’d think of words that’s better and maybe somethin’ more
I’d think of words to make you love me and what you adore
I’d think of words that pick you up and sweep you off your feet
And be the everything you want and everything you need

So why should I be sad when, oh nope it’s gone
‘Cause if you left me then I guess you didn’t love me very long
But I’ll just keep on missin’ you for every single day
Until I find those words again to try to make you stay

Sorry, Not Sorry by Melodie Yvonne

Sometimes I’m sorry is just for yourself
Sometimes I’m sorry don’t help no one else
So before you apologize just stop and think
Is this to help them, or relieve my own stink?

Ask yourself if these words will help your friend
Ask yourself why you are making amends
Is it for love that you’re telling this person
Or is it just guilt, ‘cause that shit is your burden

Remember to think before you say I’m sorry
It isn’t enough just to heal your own worry
Just save those two words and learn from your lesson
Then change who you are and don’t be that same person
