Unintentional Love Songs

This Is Real

Ask me if it’s real
Tell me you don’t believe me
Make me scream it to the sky
I’ll beg you to believe me
You can see it in my eyes
Yes, this is real

Roads are hard and tangled webs
Prevent the light from shining through
When I’m bent and broken
When you need more than just the dream
Make me prove it… prove everything to you

Ask me if it’s real
Tell me you don’t believe me
Make me scream it to the sky
I’ll beg you to believe me
You can see it in my eyes
Yes, this is real

Life gets in the way sometimes
The grind makes truth so hard to find
But you know we’ll make it
If you dish, dear, I can take it
Make me prove it… prove everything to you

Ask me if it’s real
Tell me you don’t believe me
Make me scream it to the sky
I’ll beg you to believe me
You can see it in my eyes
Yes, this is real

Tell me that it’s real
Make me believe you see it
Scream until the angels cry
I’m begging you to see it
You can see it in my eyes
Yes, this is real

Black Shades

Black dress, black boots, black shades
I got it made
When she’s wearing that
Black dress with those black boots
I can’t behave
When she’s wearing those
Black shades

Girl, I watch you getting out of that car
I see you in those boots and I know you’ll go far
In that black dress showing off what you got
Girl, you’re so cool how you get me so hot
In that…

Black dress, black boots, black shades
I got it made
When you’re wearing that
Black dress with those black boots
I can’t behave
When you’re wearing those
Black shades

Girl, I see you coming and I nearly beat you there
You’re sporting those dark glasses framed by silky hair
In that black dress showing off just for me
Girl, your blinding but you’re the only thing I see
In that…

Black dress, black boots, black shades
I got it made
When you’re losing that
Black dress with those black boots
I can’t behave
When you’re losing those
Black shades

Not Tonight

Yeah, I’m floating again
An inch above the floor
And in the distance there’s a light
That I want much more than more
And in the sky I feel an angel
Watching over me
But I’m not safe… no not tonight

Yeah, I’m losing again
Just like I’ve done before
And in my past there’s nothing right
Because my future’s so unsure
And in my soul I feel a demon
Beckoning to me
And I’m not safe… no not tonight

When it’s all or nothing and up to me
My heart is full but I can’t breathe
My world is spinning and I can’t see
You’re everything so I can’t leave
There’s nowhere if you’re not here with me
I bite my tongue and beg to bleed
I need you now and my soul believes
It’s all or nothing and up to me

Yeah, I’m in love again
It’s harder than before
And it’s impossible to fight
When I’m dragged down to the floor
And in my mind I see a goddess
Staring back at me
But I’m not safe… no not tonight

Yeah, it’s you, my love
Staring back at me
And you’re not safe… no not tonight

Yes, it’s love, it’s love
Beckoning to us
And we’re not safe… no not tonight

Something Called Love

I used to believe
That love was only once a lifetime
I used to believe
It could never happen twice
But now I can see
I may just have another chance
And now I can see
My wrongs can turn to rights

So I send you this gift
Straight from heaven above
And I send you this gift
It’s something called love

I now understand
What happens to a broken heart
I now understand
Love can happen once again
Please take my hand
Trust me not to hurt you
Please hold my hand
For true love never ends

If you take this, my gift
And don’t shove it away
If you take this, my gift
I’ll love you everyday

I cannot explain
Exactly why I found it
I cannot explain
The beauty that it holds
But if you have pain
An aching in your heart
And if you have pain
I’d like to ease your soul

So I send you this gift
Straight from heaven above
And I send you this gift
It’s something called love

Something called love
