No Destination
Time keeps pulling at the reins
Time for my course to change
New ideas on the brain
So, can’t decide where to go
Set course for the unknown
Proudly step out on my own
Chorus
Blindly I walk forward, don’t know where I’m going
Constantly looking to answer that simple question
Obviously bounded down with the frustration.
Of going forward, without a destination.
So I just look to the sky
Maybe it can answer why
I don’t know where I’m going
Trees are maybe in the breeze
Just give me a signal please
I’m out here on my knees
Chorus
And everyone has expectations of the path they took
And everyone has expectations of how their journey should look
And you can search for the meaning but it may be hard to find
It’s about making sense in your heart not mind.

Dry My Eyes
Smile and wave, I’ve got nothing to say
I realized it just wasn’t our time
No more crying eyes, no more sleepless nights
The truth came around and cleared up my eyes
Chorus
And here I go out on my own
Not gonna run, I got no place to go
I realize I don’t have to cry
All I gotta do is dry my eyes
No more shadows here
No more following,
Gotta retrace my steps
Find out where I’ve been
And who is the girl staring back in the mirror
She shows no remnants of fear
Chorus
I know this is where I’m supposed to be
I can’t believe it took me so long to finally see
No one standing right beside me
For once I’m kind of happy
Chorus
And here I go out on my own
Not gonna run, I got no place to go
I realize I don’t have to cry
All I gotta do is dry my eyes

The World Is Dreamin'
The people around me just sit and stare
Just pretend like I’m not even here
Make it easier for me
Make me not have to think
Chorus
The world is dreaming, but I’m still living low.
Yeah, the world is dreaming, but I’m still living low
The pain still here, it ain’t going anywhere
And I can feel it grow with every single tear
Yeah, the world is dreaming, but I’m still living low
To acknowledge would mean you’re gone
To acknowledge would seem so wrong
And I’ll never see your face again
Except inside of a picture frame

I've Changed
There’s no light following me
Man it’s so hard to see
Where I’m going
And where I’ve come from
There’s no good coming out of this
There’s no insured feeling of bliss
To where I’m going
From where I’ve come from
Chorus
And even if you find me it won’t be the same
I’ve changed everything including my name
Yeah, even if you find me it won’t be the same
I hate to say it…but baby I’ve changed.
And I don’t always have to smile
No, I don’t have to play the wild child
Never knowing where I'm going
And I don’t know if I can look back
I don’t ask questions about the past
Now it’s all about where I’m going
Chorus

Goodbye To Me
It’s the way she says she cares
And the way he says he’ll always be there
Yeah, he’ll always be there
It’s the way she laughs and smiles
And when he says he’ll be back in a little while
Yeah, just a little while
It’s the way she says his name
And promised things would never change
Why did they have to change
Chorus
Cause then he said goodbye to me
I never even saw it coming
But that’s not the only thing that broke me
No, you know what really hurt?
He said goodbye to me
And said hello to her
Now I’m stuck here with this pain
And I was hoping things would never change
Why did they have to go and change?
And I have to see the two
Whispering saying I love you
Girl I thought he loved me, too
Chorus
And I let my guard down
Yeah I let her hang around
Two people I cared about the most
Turned out to hurt me the most
Chorus
Yeah he said goodbye to me
He said goodbye to me
He said goodbye to me and said hello to her

Cause Of You
You are the one that keeps me anchored.
You are the one that keeps me whole.
Never had a question left unanswered
With you there are secrets kept untold
Chorus
Cause of you I now stand taller.
Cause of you I’m not afraid.
Cause of you I’ll always remember.
There’s always a way
There’s always a way
I’m ready for today
There’s always a light at the dark tunnel
Cause you are the one leading me through
Never have I spent a night up wondering,
Are you going to break my heart, too?
Chorus
Can’t have heartache
Or it’s my trust I’ll take
Yes. I’m ready
Heartbeat’s steady this must be fate
Chorus

What Am I Supposed To Do
Every time I try again
It only results in him leaving
Always leaving
Every time I go around
This God forsaken town
I see him, always see him
Chorus
What am I supposed to do when the only guy I ever loved leaves me
What am I supposed to do when the only guy I ever loved doesn’t see me
What am I supposed to do when this so called real thing stops existing
What am I supposed to feel when I figure out our love wasn’t real
It’s just that my heart can’t take
One more fracture or break
I’m done with the lying and the crying
Yeah, I’m done with the lying and the crying
I don’t give a hell, I’m done
With trying to save our love
It’s over, it’s finally over
It’s over, it’s finally done
Chorus
I thought my heart could take it
But never mind you’ll just break it
No wait, you already did,
I didn’t see it coming
I can’t take it anymore
Just walk right out the door
Oh wait, you’ve done that too
Look what you put me through

With Your Name
I walk along these roads, everything has changed
Walk along the roads, nothing feels the same
I tell myself I’m fine, just need to give it time
And I won’t hear your name
It’s when I hear your name
It’s when I hear your name
Chorus
And with your name I remember every single day
And with your name I remember your face in every way
And with your name I remember having my heart break
And with your name
Everything was fine, everything was good
Everything was going fine, like it always should
I told you not to go, told you you should stay
But with a kiss on the cheek, you were on your way
It’s when I hear your name
Vocals, Lyrics & Music: Ariel Andrews
Handle The Truth
Candy coated stories on a Sunday night
Things she heard from her mother about her father’s life
He was a great guy, didn’t want to leave home
War took him away, and now they’re stuck there alone
He was a great guy she always say
I wish he was around so you could meet him today
Chorus
Really can we handle the truth?
For some people it’s the only thing they can’t do
Really can we handle the truth?
For some people it’s the hardest thing to do
She’s eighteen thinks she’s a grown up now
Going down the wrong path, what’s her ma to do now.
Never knowing what her mom went through.
Giving her a hard time like all teenagers do.
Chorus
She’s moved on she’s got her own family now
Her son has joined the army
He is one of the proud.
She now understands the point her mama had made,
The truth ain’t easy, baby, but it needs to be said.

Alone At Midnight
It’s New Year’s Eve who are you with
Is it someone you want to spend your whole year with?
Is it someone you see in your daily life?
Or is it someone you just want to see tonight
And you can run away, away from me
But the pain is obvious to me
Chorus
I don’t want to be alone at midnight
I don’t want to be alone when the clock strikes 12
But it’s all that I can do
Just to sit and think of you
And it’s all that I can say
We’re better off this way
It’s New Year’s Eve, who’d you come with?
Is it that person that you can’t resist?
The clock ticks and 12 comes fast
Who are you going to let come in last
Chorus
