Wrote Chu 02:44
I wrote a song today I can’t remember what I wanted to play My memory has gone away I can’t remember what I wanted to say Can’t remember what I wanna relay I wrote a poem today I can’t remember what I put on the page I draw a blank and it all goes astray I drop my pen cuz I wanna delay Ah ah I wrote chu a new song Turn it up you might wanna sing along Ah ah I wrote chu a new note If it fits I’ll make sure it stays wrote I wrote a script today I can’t remember what the characters say I think of you and all thoughts go away Gave you a hug in my REM state Ah ah I wrote chu a new song Turn it up you might want to sing along Ah ah I wrote chu a new note If it fits I’ll make sure it stays wrote I wrote a verse today I feel the need to contribute a page Oh I remembered what I wanted to say I stand by love I don’t wanna debate Ah ah I wrote chu a new song Turn it up you might want to sing along Ah ah I wrote chu a new note If it fits I’ll make sure it stays wrote Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....

She carries a torch He’s got a long rope She burns a bridge He’s got a short fuse They’ve got a perfect cover Intertwined and into each other A lot of words They think that they’re in love But talk is cheap And words aren’t enough He sees in black and white She’s gearing to pick a fight He’s afraid he’ll let her down She’s afraid she’s losing her crown, crown They’ve got a perfect cover Intertwined and into each other A lot of words They think that they’re in love But talk is cheap And words aren’t enough

If I have the strength To put up with your BS Than I have the strength To cut it loose, to cut it loose If the crazy is toxic Move on with your own life And you’ve got the right To cut it loose, to cut it loose Maintain radio silence ah-ah Maintain beautiful silence don’t call One two three four It’s a give and take But some people just take take take Codependency Toxicity toxicity They’re killing all your dreams And stomping on your self-esteem So you’ve got the right To cut it loose, to cut it loose Maintain radio silence ah-ah Maintain beautiful silence don’t call Une deux trois quatre

Dear Emerald City How you seemed to fit me Gave me permission to be A brand new me It’s ’95 on the hill God I got a new home This town caught my heart Thank god I gotta new start And no one knows me But that’s okay Cause I just want to be Who I am Today hey hey hey hey hey hey Dear Empire State Yeah we took the big bait No job and no pad Feeling crazy but glad Didn’t have to start over Felt the need to renew Flipped my world on its head How bout you? You And no one knows me But that’s okay Cause I just want to be Where I am Today hey hey hey hey hey hey Come back to my town Heart slightly broken I need to rebound Yeah I gotta be found I’m old but I’m new I got a new hue Friends and acquaintances Barely recognize me And no one knows me But that’s okay Cause I just want to be What I am Today hey hey hey hey hey hey

I have the right to express How I feel, what I feel I have the right to believe In what’s real, in what’s free And I choose to be, and I choose to be And I choose and I choose To be you I have the right to obey My own rules, my own way I have the right to try For all the sweat and tears I have dried And I choose to be, and I choose to be And I choose and I choose To be true I have the right to deny What isn’t true in my eyes I have the right to cry For all the suffering and the crimes And I choose to be, and I choose to be And I choose and I choose To be me I have the right to decry All the hatred, all the lies I have the right to fight For a new view and the like And I choose to be, and I choose to be And I choose and I choose To be free
