Turn It All On Me
Jack Lindros / Matthew Chinitz
You don’t love me
Like you say you do
When I start to second guess
Expectations always fell right through
Promises you never kept
We had our time
We had our fun
But after all is said and done
I’m so glad this is the last time
You turn it all on me
Turn it all on me
Tearing up my heart
And you went hiding every piece
Turn it all on me
Turn it all on me
Know that when I find them all
I swear I’m gonna leave
Thought you held me closer
Than the rest
Until I saw your second side
It shouldn’t fall on me but
Never the less
You didn’t bring your damn disguise
We had our time
And now it’s done
Feeling better now I’m gone
I’m so glad this is the last time
You turn it all on me
Turn it all on me
Tearing up my heart
And you went hiding every piece
Turn it all on me
Turn it all on me
The only shade I’ll find
Is lying underneath this tree
Turn it all on me
Turn it all on me
Nowhere
Jack Lindros
North born, south bound
I made my way down
Still I don’t know where to go
Moving from town to town
It’s still the same sound
That I’ve always known
I’ve been a stranger
And I think I made a
Man who’s too blind to see
Until I set out to settle my doubt
Nowhere is perfect
For someone like me
I got my problems
I don’t try to solve them
Instead I just run away
I’ll hit the wall and I’ll be a fallen
Soul without a name
I’ve been a fool
Who breaks all the rules
And doesn’t answer his pleas
Soon I will learn
For better or worse
Nowhere is perfect
For someone like me
Suburbia and city lights
Look the same
‘Cause neither one
Seems to call my name
I’ve been a stranger
And I think I made a
Man who’s too blind to see
Until I set out to settle my doubt
Nowhere is perfect
For someone like me
I’ve been a stranger
And I think I made a
Man who’s too blind to see
Until I set out to settle my doubt
Nowhere is perfect
For someone like me
North born, south bound
I made my way down
Better Off Without Me
Jack Lindros
Between you and I
I probably shouldn’t say
How I felt since you left me out
In the cold, in May
Took me by surprise
How you couldn’t stay
You didn’t speak a single word
Just up and walked away
And I try to keep my calm
And I try to not hold on
But are you better off without me
Calling your name
When you decide to cut those ties
Do you still feel my pain
I try not to chase ghosts
So I guess I’ll never know
If you’re better off without me
In all honesty
I can only think
That absence doesn’t bother you
No you don’t even blink
But there’s a part of me
That wants to believe
You’re just a couple miles
From coming right on back to me
And I try to keep my calm
And I try to not hold on
But are you better off without me
Calling your name
When you decide to cut those ties
Do you still feel my pain
I try not to chase ghosts
So I guess I’ll never know
If you’re better off without me
And every time you cross my mind
I walk the trail of your goodbyes
One more time again
Are you better off without me
Calling your name
When you decide to cut those ties
Do you still feel my pain
I try not to chase ghosts
So I guess I’ll never know
If you’re better off without me
Southern Sunset Drive
Jack Lindros
One hand on the wheel
One tapping the dash
I could feel those chills
Up and down my back
I’ll admit it
I was feeling like a nervous wreck
But I didn’t know that I was
In for a night I’d never forget
I pulled in at half past six
And she came to the door
An Alabama beauty
Straight out ‘a movie
Like I’ve never seen before
I couldn’t help but smile
When she sang that George Strait song
Then I put on some Tim McGraw
And we yelled every word
At the top of our lungs
Didn’t have no destination
Got lost in conversation
Used to have a guard on my heart
But with every little word
She made her way in
Found ourselves on a back road off I-65
Couldn’t get no better
On that southern sunset drive
Found an open field
Underneath the stars
Turned on my headlights
Slow danced in front of my car
I’ll admit it
That moment she stole my heart
Cause when we locked lips and fingertips
I didn’t think I’d fall so hard
I pulled out my six string
To sing a song or two
So I played some Randy
And a little bit of Luke
She couldn’t help but smile
When I sang that George Strait song
Then I put on some Tim McGraw
And we yelled every word
At the top of our lungs
Didn’t have no destination
Got lost in conversation
Used to have a guard on my heart
But with every little word
She made her way in
Found ourselves on a back road off I-65
Couldn’t get no better
On that southern sunset drive
I pulled in at half past ten
And walked her to the door
Thought about those foolish doubts
That I left there on that front porch
And how I couldn’t help but smile
When she sang that George Strait song
Then I put on some Tim McGraw and we
Yelled every word at the top of our lungs
Didn’t have no destination
Got lost in conversation
Used to have a guard on my heart
But with every little word she made her way in
Found ourselves on a back road off I-65
Couldn’t get no better
On that southern sunset drive
Give It All To Her
Jack Lindros
I haven't been the type to want to settle down
Haven't been the kind to keep them around
But I think this could be
I think this could be something
Don't know why and I don't know how
But every little thing that she's about
Just reels me in
Just reels me in closer
It's been a cold winter for far too long
And I just can't play it cool
And every time she even says a word
I smile like a fool
I can't keep it in
I got to let it out
Don't want to let her down
I want to give her everything she deserves
I want to say it loud
And say it proud
And give it all to her
Give her my heart
Give her my soul
Whatever it takes I'm sold
I just wish she felt the same
Everywhere I go I see her face
It feels like I can't escape
It feels like there's no way out
Wish I could find just a little
Peace of mind but lately
I don't know how
If I could go back I'd tell myself
Don't get to close
Cause soon enough it'll hurt like hell
And even heaven knows
I can't keep it in
I got to let it out
Don't want to let her down
I want to give her everything she deserves
I want to say it loud
And say it proud
And give it all to her
Give her my heart
Give her my soul
Whatever it takes I'm sold
I just wish she felt the same
I see her
I look back
To what we could have had
But I have to understand
She has other plans
But I can't
I can't keep it in
I got to let it out
Don't want to let her down
I want to give her everything she deserves
I want to say it loud
And say it proud
And give it all to her
Give her my heart
Give her my soul
Whatever it takes I'm sold
I just wish she felt the same
You Are Not Alone
Jack Lindros
Do you feel like there’s
No place you belong
In this crazy world
Do you feel like your house is not a home
And there’s nowhere left to turn
Your spirit’s broken
Your eyes deceive
Lost all hope
In fighting this disease
Each day I walk
That same road
You are not alone
Do you feel like
Your rivers have run dry
You’re drowning in your sorrows
With no tears left to cry
Do you feel as your life is just a maze
Running from yourself
You’ll never win that race
Your heart’s been broken
Too many times
And you fear
To put it on the line
Even though it might seem so
You are no alone
Your spirit’s broken
Your eyes deceive
Lost all hope
In fighting this disease
Each day I walk
That same road
You are not alone
Off My Chest
Jack Lindros
About three years ago
You gave me that necklace
How many have come
And gone since then
For me it's been
Just a few worried women
For you
It seems I've lost count
The wires been rusted
I had to replace it
I'd rip it right off
If I just found the strength to
Cause often I find that
The weight of this chain
Just holds me down
Months go by
Without ever hearing
A sentence fly
From those lips
I keep kicking myself
Over that goodbye kiss
I can't just take the pain
Of putting my trust in a
So-called saint
So now I need to put this all to rest
And finally get it off my chest
How have I lived
With the constant reminder
Of what could have been
And how you left it behind you
With every new man
I'd watch from right beside you
Biting my tongue
Letting you fall
For somebody new
When you said no ones
Made you feel like I do
But you have a talent
For twisting the truth
That's second to none
Months go by
Without ever hearing
A sentence fly
From those lips
I keep kicking myself
Over that goodbye kiss
I can't just take the pain
Of putting my trust in a
So-called saint
So now I need to put this all to rest
And finally get it off my chest
Is it worth holding words
In the face of a lie
Collect my concerns
And set them aside
If I silently slip away
Like those ghosts I always chase
Would I be the one
You can blame
Months go by
Without ever hearing
A sentence fly
From those lips
I keep kicking myself
Over that goodbye kiss
I can't just take the pain
Of putting my trust in a
So-called saint
So now I need to put this all to rest
And finally get it off my chest
All She Wrote
Jack Lindros
Woke up from another night
Too drunk to shut the lights
Often it seemed to be the case
That she'd wake up in this bed
With a kiss for my head
But she left with hardly any trace
Couple years, and some change
All went down the drain
I didn't even know why
Every thought she never spoke
Sits there folded with the clothes
Underneath the burning light
It wasn't written in the stars
When the pen was in her hand
I never knew we'd be apart
Guess we were written in the sand
All that changed from the past
Is one little note
But that doesn't change the fact
That's all she wrote
Usually, I try to find, some kind of silver line
Like the one around her neck that bore my name
But calling this a blessing or a hidden lesson
Wouldn't be a truthful thing to say
Just the like the cigarette she smoked
It seems we've reached the end I know
But I still got something left to hold
A few broken promises, broken down in to a list
Laid there on the nightstand double-fold
It wasn't written in the stars
When the pen was in her hand
I never knew we'd be apart
Guess we were written in the sand
All that changed from the past
Is one little note
But that doesn't change the fact
That's all she wrote
Some people get a sentence
That lasts their whole life
But I got two or three
That nearly ended mine
It wasn't written in the stars
When the pen was in her hand
I never knew we'd be apart
Guess we were written in the sand
All that changed from the past
Is one little note
But that doesn't change the fact
That's all she wrote
She Ain't You
Jack Lindros/Adia Marie Fuller
I see the way you’re
Putting on your lipstick
And fixing your hair
Thinking I don’t even notice
Thinking I don’t even care
And you feel you should
Address the elephant in the room
But she’s none of my concern
It’s just you
She ain’t gonna make me
Want to kiss her slow
Grab her hands and pull her close
Rip the t-shirt off my shoulder
Girl you know I’m coming over
No such thing as second guessing
Only look in your direction
There’s so many things
I ain’t gonna do
‘Cause she aint you
I see the way she’s trying
To put on a show
Planting some seeds
And hoping that they’ll grow
And she probably thinks
She’ll find a way to win my heart
But she’s just running
Circles ‘round this bar
She ain’t gonna make me want
to kiss her slow
Grab her hands and pull her close
Rip the t-shirt off my shoulder
Girl you know I’m coming over
No such thing as second guessing
Only look in your direction
There’s so many things I ain’t gonna do
‘Cause she aint you
I know you’re probably thinking
I’m sitting right here wishing
She’d be the one I’m bringing home
No no no
I know you don’t believe me
I swear it drives me crazy
I’m never letting go
She ain’t gonna make me want to kiss her slow
Grab her hands and pull her close
Rip the t-shirt off my shoulder
Girl you know I’m coming over
No such thing as second guessing
Only look in your direction
There’s so many things I ain’t gonna do
‘Cause she aint you
She ain’t you
