ALL THIS LOVE
(Written by Rachel Williams/Deanna Walker/Rick Beresford)
I HAD TO FACE IT
THE FACT THAT YOU AND I WOULD NEVER MAKE IT
FOR AS HARD AS WE TRIED
WE COULDN'T SAVE IT
COULDN'T BRING IT BACK TO LIFE
ALL THE BREAKUPS AND MAKEUPS WERE WAY TOO COMPLICATED
SO I DID WHAT I NEEDED TO DO
AND I LEFT WHAT WAS LEFT OF ME AND YOU
CHORUS:
ALL OF THIS LOVE
ALL THAT YOUR HEART HAS PUT INTO SOMEONE
HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP
I CAN'T JUST TURN IT OFF
ALL I CAN SEE
IS A FUTURE NEVER MEANT TO BE
I CAN LEARN TO GIVE YOU UP
I CAN CLOSE THE BOOK ON US
BUT WHAT DO I DO
WITH ALL THIS LOVE....
WELL MY TEMPTATION
IS TO PLUG ANOTHER MAN IN THE EQUATION
BUT IT'S WAY TOO SOON
INFATUATION
HELL, IT'S JUST LIKE A DRUG
'CAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S REAL
TIL YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
SO I KNOW I'M NOT READY YET
CAN'T BELIEVE YOU AND ME MADE SUCH A MESS OF
CHORUS
SIT STILL
HARD TO DO WHEN IT GETS THIS REAL
AND I HATE IT 'CUZ BABY I STILL FEEL
ALL OF THIS LOVE
KEEPS RUSHING BACK THROUGH ME LIKE A FLOOD
HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP
I CAN'T JUST TURN IT OFF
ALL I CAN SEE
IS A FUTURE NEVER MEANT TO BE
I CAN LEARN TO GIVE YOU UP
I CAN CLOSE THE BOOK ON US
BUT WHAT DO I DO, WHAT DO I DO
WITH ALL THIS LOVE

SUICDAL HEART
(Written by Rachel Williams & Kim Copeland)
3AM phone vibration nonstop
Messy situation if I respond, so I'm not
Hope my silence ends your confusion
'Cuz I'm so over being your solution
Talk yourself down off the ledge
No, you're not getting back in my head
Chorus:
You're asking me to stand in the line of fire
And trust the bullets to a liar
'Cuz you didn't quite kill me the first time
Somehow you've got yourself convinced
I'll lift the glass and take a sip
When we both know you poisoned the wine
No you ain't that complicated
The decision ain't that hard
You must think that I still have a suicidal heart
4AM new perspective holds strong
Enlightenment like a spotlight comes on
I can't unknow what I know about you
I can't unlearn what I've learned without you
These scars you left are finally my friend
Reminders of the girl I will never be again
Chorus
Hurt me once shame on you
Hurt me twice shame on me
I think I'll quit while I'm ahead
And celebrate the fact that I'm free
Chorus

I'M ONLY HERE 'CAUSE I'M LONELY
(written by Karleen Watt & Rachel Williams)
AT SOME POINT IN MY LIFE I REALIZED
THAT LOVE MAY NEVER COME FOR ME
SO I SETTLE FOR THE NEXT BEST THING
AND HOPE IT'S GOOD ENOUGH
SO HERE I AM AT YOUR DOOR
AND I CAN TELL YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
WELL DON'T WORRY BABY, THAT'S OKAY
I'LL DO THE TALKIN
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT TO ASK
BUT THIS TIME THERE'S NO STRINGS ATTACHED
I'M ONLY HERE 'CAUSE I'M LONELY
I KNOW DAMN WELL YOU DON'T LOVE ME
SO HOLD ME TIGHT AND DON'T JUDGE ME
I'M ONLY HERE 'CAUSE I'M LONELY
REGRET IS GONNA COME UP WITH THE SUN
BUT I'M THE ONE WHO MADE THIS BED
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT
AND IT WON'T BE EASY
BUT I'M NOT THINKIN BOUT TOMORROW TONIGHT
AND I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S NOT RIGHT
I'M ONLY HERE 'CAUSE I'M LONELY
I KNOW DAMN WELL YOU DON'T LOVE
SO HOLD ME TIGHT AND DON'T JUDGE ME
I'M ONLY HERE 'CAUSE I'M LONELY
AND I'M NOT ASKIN YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO FACE THE DARK SOMETIMES
TOMORROW I'LL BE GONE AND YOU'LL BE FREE
I'M ONLY HERE 'CAUSE I'M LONELY
AND I'M NOT ASKIN YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO FACE THE DARK SOMETIMES
TOMORROW I'LL BE GONE AND YOU'LL BE FREE
I'M ONLY HERE 'CAUSE I'M LONELY
AT SOME POINT IN MY LIFE I REALIZED
THAT LOVE MAY NEVER COME FOR ME
SO I SETTLED FOR THE NEXT BEST THING...

GONE
(Written by Rachel Williams & Mark Narmore)
I PACKED YOUR BAGS
LEFT 'EM FOR YOU BY THE DOOR
WATCHED YOUR BRING ON THE TEARS
BUT THEY COULDN'T MOVE ME NO MORE
I DIDN'T PULL BACK THE CURTAINS
TO WATCH YOU BACK OUT THE DRIVE
NO I JUST SAT AT THIS TABLE
AND BARELY TOLD YOU GOODBYE
'CAUSE I KNEW THAT SOMETHING BROKE BETWEEN US
COULDN'T FIGHT THE FEELING WE WERE BEYOND REPAIR
AND I HEART COULD ONLY TAKE SO MUCH
AND WHAT THE HELL IS LOVE WITH A TRUST THAT AIN'T THERE
I CUT THOSE STRINGS ONE BY ONE
BUT SOMETHING'S STILL HOLDIN ON
BOY, I TOLD YOU TO GO
SO WHY AREN'T YOU GONE?
OH I CAN FEEL YOU LIKE A SONG PLAYIN ON AND ON
THEN YOU REPEAT
AND EVERY BASEBALL CAP WALKIN PAST, I STEP BACK
THINKIN IT'S YOU ON THE STREET
HOW COULD SOMETHING SO CERTAIN KEEP HURTIN
AND NOW FEEL SO WRONG
BOY, I TOLD YOU TO GO
SO WHY AREN'T YOU GONE?

I LET YOU
(Written by Rachel Williams)
SUCH A BLACK HOLE
SUCH A DEEP, DARK PLACE
I NEEDED LOVE AND YOU NEEDED SOMEONE TO CHASE
EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID
WHICH LED YOU FURTHER UNDERGROUND
AND I WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH
TO FOLLOW YOU DOWN
YEAH I WAS TRYING TO SAVE YOU
FROM YOUR BOTTOMLESS FEARS
BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR YOU TO MAKE CLEAR
YOU'RE HAPPY HERE
CHORUS:
I CAN'T HATE YOU FOR THE HELL YOU PUT ME THROUGH
I LET YOU, I LET YOU, I LET YOU
CLAWING MY WAY BACK TO THE LIGHT
WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU
IT'S TAKEN ME AWHILE BUT I'M HOLDING TIGHT TO THE TRUTH
YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN
IF I DON'T LET YOU
EVERYDAY YOU WORK SO HARD
TO BURY ALL THE LIES YOU'VE SPUN
IT'S SAD WHEN YOUR MAMA DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
HER OWN SON
NEITHER DOES YOUR LITTLE BLONDE
YEAH, IT'S SICK HOW YOU'VE CONVINCED THEM
THAT IT SHOULD BE OK FOR YOU TO STAY AT THE BOTTOM
BUT YOUR TWISTED MIND CAN'T TWIST ME ANYMORE
'CUZ I'LL NEVER SEE YOU THE SAME AS I DID BEFORE
CHORUS
SUCH A SAD EXISTENCE THAT YOU LIVE
THANK YOU FOR THE WAKE UP CALL
I'M TOO GOOD FOR THIS
CHORUS

ONCE
(Written by Rachel Williams & Angela Kaset)
ONCE I WAS THE QUEEN OF SECOND CHANCES
FORGIVE AND FORGET AGAIN AND
AGAIN, I'M PICKIN UP THE BROKEN PIECES
OF MY FOOLISH, OVERLY TRUSTING HEART
SHOULD HAVE NEVER, EVER LET IT GO THIS FAR
CHORUS:
ONCE
OUGHTA BE ENOUGH
TO TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
NO MORE BREAKIN UP THEN MAKIN UP
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME
DOIN THE SAME OL' THING AND THEN EXPECTIN LOVE TO CHANGE
'CUZ IT DON'T
SO CALL IT DONE
AFTER ONCE
NOW I'M LOOKIN FOR A LOVE THAT'S EASY
TO ROCK ME SWEETLY AND NEVER LET ME DOWN
SOMEHOW I HAVE A STRONG BELIEF THAT
THE RIGHT ONE'S COMIN AND I WILL KNOW HIM
'CUZ I AM SO DAMN SICK
OF MEN THAT I HAVE TO FIX
CHORUS
DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE, DON'T GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT
'CUZ YOU'RE NEVER GONNA MAKE HIM SOMETHING THAT HE'S
NOT
CHORUS

I'VE GOT TO HAND IT TO YOU
(Written by Paul Sikes & Rachel Williams)
The smoke's still rising from my being burned
The timing off, as sweet as you were
I had no intention to mind your attention
So I've got to hand it to you
Chorus:
I never thought I'd be
Wanting you here beside me
No one gets to me like you do
I've always kept my heart hidden
It ain't somethin to be given
So I've got to hand it to you
I've got to hand it to you
It's been shaped by storms and lonely nights
So keep it close to you and treat it right
I give you all the credit
I was cold and you could've let it
Keep you down so I've got to hand it to you
Chorus
Ready and willing to do whatever it takes to make it through
And that takes from me, baby
So I've got to hand it to you
I've always kept my heart hidden
It ain't somethin to be given
So I've got to hand it to you

Motown To Muscle Shoals
(Written by Rachel Williams/Mark Narmore/Kim Copeland)
Papa was a rolling stone
Who sang his way to the heart of Dixie
Oh, but Papa only stopped in the name of love
Long enough to make little ol' me
My fate was signed, sealed, delivered
'Cuz he left Motown deep in my veins
And my Mama's heart broke the day this free bird
Opened up her mouth and sang
Chorus:
I've got a bass up in Detroit City
And a Wurley down in Alabam
I've got a song that'll move ya
Make you dance even when you think you can't
And oh Lord knows
Lord knows I've got enough soul
To reach Motown, Motown to Muscle Shoals
My Daddy's footsteps took me
All of the places Mama warned me about
I may never lay down roots
'Cuz I'm addicted to the lights and the crowds
Another one-night stand motel
Down another two-lane road
Hey, my busted ass Buick may get me there
But it's the dream that drives me on
Chorus
This is my song, this is my truth
Hey baby, I'm the bridge between the two
Chorus

FURTHER TO FALL
(Written by Rachel Williams & Deanna Walker)
I KNOW THIS WILL HURT
WHEN I PICK UP THE PHONE
BUT RIGHT NOW NOTHIN SEEMS WORSE
THAN THIS ACHE IN MY SOUL
I THINK THAT I MISS YOU
AND WE'LL MAKE IT RIGHT
AFTER ALL THAT'S GONE WRONG
ON ONE RECKLESS NIGHT I WILL
CHORUS:
THROW AWAY
ALL THE GOOD THAT I'VE DONE
AND I'LL SEE IN YOUR FACE
HOW FAR I HAVEN'T COME
FOR AS HARD AS WE BROKE
AND AS LOW AS WE'VE BEEN
I STILL HAVEN'T HIT THE BOTTOM AFTERALL
GUESS I'VE GOT FURTHER TO FALL
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME
THAT I'D OPEN THIS WOUND
AND LET MY HEART BLEED ONE MORE TIME
JUST FOR YOU
TRYING TO MAKE US WHAT WE'LL NEVER BE
BUT WHEN THE CRAZY IN YOU FINDS THE CRAZY IN ME THEN I
CHORUS
MORE TIME IN HELL
THIS TIME I WONDER IF I'M BEYOND HELP
'CAUSE AS HARD AS WE BROKE AND LOW AS WE'VE BEEN
I STILL HAVEN'T HIT THE BOTTOM AFTERALL
GUESS I'VE GOT FURTHER TO FALL

HAPPY (IF IT KILLS ME)
(Written by Rachel Williams & Angela Kaset)
Oh in my quest for happiness
I wished for the best, but I settled for less
And I fell in love with the idea of
Just being together, someone else would make it better
But that didn't save me
'Cause I lost way more than I found
And slowly but surely, I'm comin back around
Chorus:
And maybe my smile will fool my heart
And work it's way down to the broken parts
I'm holdin' onto hope and hopin' it heals
I'm cryin' my tears down to a few
Forgiving myself for what I've put me through
'Cause I'm gonna be happy
Yeah, I can see me happy
Happy if it kills me
I held tight to my pride, I felt justified
I thought my anger was what kept me alive
Oh but misery stole best of me
I caused my heartache, gotta sweep up what I've let break
And it's not as hard as I made it out to be
So I'm trusting just enough to make believe
Chorus
And I'm finally starting to see a little light
Letting me know I'm gonna be alright
'Cause I'm gonna be happy
Yeah, I can see me happy
I'm gonna be happy
Happy if it kills me

I'M NOT SORRY
(Written by Rachel Williams & Mark Narmore)
OH I'LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT
ALL THE SKELETONS
I ACQUIRED IN RECORD TIME
MY CLOSET GOT A LITTLE TOO SMALL
TO FIT THEM ALL
SO THEY WALKED OUT IN THE DAYLIGHT
MIGHT NOT BE PROUD OF IT
BUT I'M NOT RUNNIN
CHORUS:
ANYONE CAN SEE WHERE I MIGHT'VE WENT WRONG
(Did what I wanted, every misstep I own it)
EMBRACING WHERE I'VE BEEN INSTEAD OF DRAGGING IT ALONG
(Everyone has it, I'm not bound by my baggage)
I DON'T NEED TO REHASH THE PAST
I'M HAPPY RIGHT WHERE I AM
BUT IF ANYONE ASKS ME
I TELL 'EM I'M NOT SORRY
YOU CAN GO AND RUN YOUR MOUTH
GO AND RUN IT LOUD
JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO
HATE ON ME BECAUSE YOU CAN
AND IT'S EASIER THAN
PUTTING ANY BLAME ON YOU
OH BUT I'VE DROWNED YOU OUT
SO WHO LOOKS STUPID NOW?
CHORUS
YES I TOOK THE LONG WAY AROUND
REBUILT MYSELF ON STRONGER GROUND

I DON'T WANNA WASTE IT
(Written by Rachel Williams & Paul Sikes)
There's a sunrise crawlin' on my face
I feel more hope than I did yesterday
I put both feet on the floor
I kinda smile, but I don't know what for
I can't quite place it
But I don't wanna waste it
Been anchored to my yesterdays
But I'm unhooking myself from that place
So the next time heartache comes around
I won't let it bury me in that cold ground
I'll embrace it
I don't wanna waste it
Chorus:
There's only so much time
And I hate to say that I
Let too much fall through the cracks
But this is now and that was then
And it's a good day to begin
Making up for what I can't get back
'Cause it sure knows how to disappear
My grandma turns 86 this year
So I will cling to her words like a child
And every chance I get to hold her hand in mine
I'm gonna take it
I don't wanna waste it
Chorus
'Cause I've got this gift, I've got this plan
This ol' heart and these two hands
Yeah life may have it's twists and turns
But I'm grateful for the big picture
'Cause God gave it
I don't wanna waste it
I'm not gonna waste it

SING ME HOME
(Written by Rachel Williams/Jim "Moose" Brown/Paul Sikes)
TEMPTATIONS ON VINYL
LITTLE CAREFREE CHILD, DANCIN ROUND THE KITCHEN FLOOR
WHENEVER I HEAR "MY GIRL"
IT TAKES ME BACK TO A SWEETER WORLD
GUESS THAT'S WHAT A MEMORY'S FOR
CHORUS:
SO LET THE GROOVE BE THE ENGINE
THE WORDS BE THE WHEELS AND
ROLL ME TO WHERE I'M FROM
COME ON RADIO NOW, PLAY ME SOMETHING MOTOWN
PUT THE SWAY BACK IN MY SOUL
SING ME HOME
I'M THE UNDERDOG TRYIN
WITH THE HEART OF A LION
SCRATCHIN AND CLAWIN MY WAY
IT CAN BE TOUGH-GOIN
BUT IT DON'T HURT KNOWIN
HOME IS JUST A SONG AWAY
CHORUS
IT'S A FAST AND CRAZY LIFE
AND SOMETIMES I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM MINE
THREE MINUTES AT A TIME
CHORUS

YOU'LL NEVER LOVE ME
(R. WILLIAMS/JIM BROWN)
You hook my heart when you hold my hand and you pull it close
And just as fast you pull me under when you let it go
I open up and hope that it's enough to stir something inside of you
But nothing ever reaches back at me but the truth
I know that you'll never love me
Goodbye hits so hard, so we stay as we are
I know you don't wanna lose me
But in the end I never win your heart
I know it's time to admit that I've gotta let you go
But it kills me 'cause when I leave here, I leave alone
Wish I could find a way to somehow change
What you don't feel for me
But the truth is, I can't make you feel...anything
I know that you'll never love me
Goodbye hits so hard, so we stay as we are
I know you don't wanna lose me
But in the end I never win your heart
Yes, I know that you'll never love me...
