MOVE ON
Remove your keys from out the door
Don’t know how else to say it but
You’re not welcome anymore
Get gone don’t wanna hear your lies
Cuz you’re making me sick,
Every word that you spit,
Reflects the guilt in your eyes
Now I’m done
And I’m back to where I started
So you've won
Do you think that makes you a better man?
I’ll be gone
And the days will go on like before
But you still have to live with the fact
That you did me wrong
So it’s 'bout time I get my move on, on
My move on
You played your cards close to your chest
Mistook my love for weakness,
Killed all happiness
And I’ll never get the games you play
So I’m leaving behind,
All the pain and the lies
At least I still can walk away
Now I’m done
And I’m back to where I started
So you've won
Do you think that makes you a better man?
I’ll be gone
And the days will go on like before
But you still have to live with the fact
That you did me wrong
So it’s 'bout time I get my move on, on
My move on

WEAK
It’s the same thing,
Over and over again
And I get tired of being used
I keep feelin like you want me to lose
I want to be free
I want to be me
In everything I say,
And what I do
But you give me reason
To never trust you
So why
Why you wanna bring me down?
You got me feelin lower than the ground,
And it’s killing me
And I never feel quite good enough
You are always out for blood
And you’re making me weak
Oh, you’re making me weak
Oh, you’re making me weak
You cut like a knife
Oh, then you try to hold me tight
Cuz you don’t like it when I’m in control
No, you can’t have me,
I’m not yours to hold
And baby I’m feelin inspired
And you lost your fire
So I feel it's time that you let me go
Cuz it’s hurting me more than
You ever know
So why
Why you wanna bring me down?
You got me feelin lower than the ground,
And it’s killing me
And I never feel quite good enough
You are always out for blood
And you’re making me weak
Oh, you’re making me weak
Oh, you’re making me weak

THE SKY
I’m obsessed with the sky
Cuz it’s ever-changing
Is it real or is it fake
Or just clever staging
What is beyond me
What is above us now
I yearn for Your love but
I get lost somehow
Ooooh
I’m obsessed with this place
And how it holds me back
And it’s only by Your grace
I’m able to unpack
All the regrets and
Times that I've fallen down
Throw them away and
Trade it in for a crown
What is it like
To let go and trust
To give yourself over
To One higher than us?
I wanna know
I wanna know that love
I want to know Your love
I want to know Your love
I want to know Your love

FIRE
Somebody else’s words will never be mine
And if I can’t tell you,
I might as well be living a lie
And I have grown used to
Reading between the lines
And past all that we
We cover with smiles
But this ain’t life
This is not our life
Not what I pictured
When I closed my eyes
And I thought of you and
I want a love that’s fire
The kind that will never die
It’s the only way to keep us alive
I still haven’t learned to
Shake the weight off me
And I hate that I care so,
So much that it kills me
It’s not a crime
To lay it on the line
Be downright honest
And done with all the lies
That we hang on to
I want a love that’s fire
The kind that will never die
Oh, I'd give it all
just to prove
My love for you boy
Seems like we hit a wall
But I see the light coming through, ooh
And I want a love that’s fire
The kind, oh that will never
Oh
I want a love that’s fire
The kind that will never die

MAKE YOUR MARK
Some things you just can’t question
Even though you wanna try and find the reasons
Sometimes the road gets so dark,
And impossible to try and make a start
It is a battle, it is a battle
Be proud of your battle scars
It is a battle, it is a battle
Be proud of your battle scars
Make your mark
Take aim, hit hard
Make your mark
Ain’t no shame in who you are
I found a love deep within me
And it’s taken many years to finally see it
What is the point of all your fighting
There ain’t no freedom if you are always hiding
It is a battle, it is a battle
Be proud of your battle scars
It is a battle, it is a battle
Be proud of your battle scars
Make your mark
Take aim, hit hard
Make your mark
Ain’t no shame in who you are
There ain’t no shame in who are oh…
