Alessia Cara

If there's a God Do you think he's looking down, curled up on his couch right now? As we fail to figure it out, does he turn down the sound? Is he proud? Are we proud? Guess we forgot how to live a life with no filter Making boring people famous Let's pr...

There you are with your college friends You played in their marching band I can't help but wish I knew you then But I guess I know you now It looks as if I've stumbled right into the palm of your hand Hey you, hey Mister knock on my door I'm sorry that...

St. Nick don't exist anymore And Oz was just a lonely man It’s so damn hard to believe in anything again Wise is the optimist But truth is I don't understand Haven't figured out much of anything What a strange world Strange world, strange world ’Roun...

What happens to a flame when it burns out? What happens to a love that's not new? What happens when I'm no longer impressive? Or when there's nothing left to learn about you? See, I used to wonder 'bout you What it would be like to love you Now I've see...

I grew up memorizing all the cracks in the wall Staring up at the ceiling watching particles fall See I prayed every day for a change to be made And I'd wait to be saved, oh no Up at night, hiding under covers found my escape Shut my eyes and let the b...

Never have I ever been someone who's had it all Like, not at all, yeah And, on occasion, I can think too much I get uncomfortable, hide behind my walls And I talk in circles, but at least I say what I mean And I rock my heart on the sleeve of my T-shirt...

"You're on your own, kid You are" Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it But home's looking farther the closer I get Don't know why I can't see the end Is it over yet? Hmm A short leash and a short fuse don't match They tell me it ain't th...

[Verse 1] These days, I'm my own best friend I make my bed to lay in it again Don’t know who to trust And no time of the month can justify this [Chorus] Blame it on the growing pains Just blame it on the growing pains Blame it on the growing pains Or...

[Verse 1] I'm sorry if I seem uninterested Or I'm not listenin', or I'm indifferent Truly I ain't got no business here But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it But really I would rather be at home all by myself Not in this room with people w...

I'm sorry if I seem uninterested Or I'm not listenin' or I'm indifferent Truly, I ain't got no business here But since my friends are here I just came to kick it but really I would rather be at home all by myself not in this room With people who don't...

I've been staring at the edge of the water 'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why I wish I could be the perfect daughter But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try Every turn I take, every trail I track Every path I make, every roa...

[Verse 1] You went and turned the red flag white, darling, and you waved it You've always had a way with words Why can't you explain it then? I see your face in everyone, baby, and I hate it Who would have ever thought I'd have to erase it? Uh [Pre-Chor...

Don't wish it away, don't look at it like it's forever Between you and me I could honestly say That things could only get better And while I'm away dust out the demons inside And it won't be long before you and me run To the place in our hearts where we h...

Some nerve you have To break up my lonely And tell me you want me How dare you march into my heart Oh how rude of you To ruin my miserable And tell me I’m beautiful Cause I wasn’t looking for love no Nobody asked to get me attached to you In fact y...

We were warm and wonderful Once upon a time But now we're frozen, hanging by a thread Can we wait a minute? Or can we just try to try? 'Cause my favorite day is coming up ahead Darling, I know that our love is going cold It's just something 'bout the...

Do you recall the days at your old place? Playing with Troll dolls to scare the kids away My closet was a time machine, yours a stage I wish we told those little girls they're gonna be okay Still picture it all in my mind Making the campfire out of broken...

Tune in to find my peace and solitude These empty rooms spin, and I embrace the flaws of being human The black and white... and sometimes the greys that stay for days The in between times The meantimes that make this song of life sing Play, rest, repeat,...

Choose your weapon, and let's go Who's gonna beat this level? I speed up, you slow down Looks like I'm on your tail now Another round, do we give up? This is taking longer than Zelda Hold on, what I meant was Is it too late to get a 1-up? Baby, baby,...

Someday I won't be afraid of my head Someday I will not be chained to my bed Someday I’ll forget the day he left But surely not today One day I won't need a PhD To sit me down and tell me what it all means Maybe one day it'll be a breeze But surely not...

5 AM, the moon went to sleep Your friend speaking in tongues in the back seat Just one little glance, I know what you mean somehow We're stealing moments, moments away Why are we just not as good in the day? Is it too soon to know if it's too soon to say...

I won't tell you I'm lonely 'Cause it may be selfish I won't ask you to hold me 'Cause that won't mend what's helpless There's not a thing I could say Not a song I could sing for your mind to change Nothing can fill up the space Won't ask you to stay...

Oh and I overdose Boy I want off this rollercoaster You take me high just to bring me down Oh, and you bring me down, down [Verse 1] I'm trying not to take too much I'm in over my head Over love, boy I over trust Give me the chance to pick up the pieces you l...

[Verse 1: Alessia Cara] I think it's safe to say that you will always change New colours day-to-day; my friend, you are a hurricane The look on your face, all the things you say Send me to outer space; my friend, you test my patience [Pre-Chorus: Alessia...

Still got the flowers that you sent And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever I keep them all as evidence In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises I don't know why I keep letting you lie to me Hard as I try It seems I ca...

So much on my mind, I think I think too much Read between these lines, unspoken weight of words But time comes to rest when you are by my side, it blurs And I will follow where this takes me And my tomorrows long to be unknown When all is shaken, be my s...

[Verse 1] In my room, staying up late And I'm planning my escape Cause I know I can't stay In my veins I got the feeling Like there must be something more I've never been so sure [Pre-Chorus] All night and day I dream of a place [Chorus] Somewhere...

It's time I let you go I made the mistake of writing your name on my heart 'Cause you colours showed But it was too late, you left me stained, called it art Do you crave control? I've been your doll That you poke for fun for too long So you should go D...

Poured out my heart last night Wrote a song with some good lines I spill my feelings on you sometimes But at least you know Had a one-way talk with your voicemail Called out, but you weren't there and Now you're back and it's not fair What you're doing...

There's yelling in the hallway I found refuge on a twin bed of this three-star hotel I hear the laughter from the TV Static, Rachel talks to Phoebe about the cat that smells And I know this place is haunted, oh I swear I hear somebody knocking, but I can'...
