01. It's Not You

Music & lyrics by Halestorm
I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, Oh yeah
And its not you

Read my finger whatcha gonna do?
See these lips are all done talking to you
I don't mean to bruise your ego
But I've had you nailed down for so long
And I don't see your name on my tattoo
Hope you understand
It's been a long time coming
It's for the best
No Offence

I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, Oh yeah
And its not you

I know who you think you are
Sorry I've turned you on but I'm kissing you off
Your lines are whiskey and cigarettes
They're not enough to make me forget
I've got someone who has raised the bar
I've heard it all before
Stop spinning your wheels
I'll show you the doo
No hard feelings

I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, Oh yeah
And its not you

You've probably never been shot down before
I'll try and make it easier

I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, Oh yeah
And its not you
It's not you

02. I Get Off

Music & lyrics by Hale, Ossof, Sommer, Calitri
You don;t know what I know
You whatch me every night
And I just can't resist the urge
To stand here in the light
Your greedy eyes upon me
And then I come undone
I could close the curtain
But this is to much fun

I get off on you
Getting off on me
Give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It's a give and take
Kind of love that we make
When the line is crossed
I get off
I get off

There is so much left unspoken
Between the two of us
It's so much more exciting
To look when you can't touch
You could say I'm different
Maybe I'm a freak
But I know how to twist you
To bring you to your knees

I get off on you
Getting off on me
Give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It's a give and take
Kind of love that we make
When the line is crossed
I get off
I get off

What you don't know
What you can't see
Is what I do for you
I do for me

I get off on you
Getting off on me
Give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It's a give and take
Kind of love that we make
When the line is crossed
I get off
I get off

I get off on you
Getting off on me
Give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It's a give and take
Kind of love that we make
When the line is crossed
I get off
I get off

03. Bet U Wish U Had Me Back

Music & lyrics by Hale, Huff
It was you and me and one hot summer
Beading up with sweat all over eachother soaking wet
We didn't have the time so we didn't waste much
Finding all the right places you wanted me to touch
And all those memories make it so hard to forget about me

I bet you wish you had me back
Another chance to get it just like that
The best you ever had
And do you close your eyes with her
And pretend I'm doing you again
Like only I can
I bet you wish you had me back

It was you and me it seemed to last forever
The way you taste and I still remember the sounds we made
One day in June I stayed all night
And made love to you like the fourth of July
And all these memories make it so hard to forget about me

I bet you wish you had me back
Another chance to get it just like that
The best you ever had
And do you close your eyes with her
And pretend I'm doing you again
Like only I can
I bet you wish you had me back

I bet you wish you had me back
Every night
Every time
You seem me when you close your eyes
I bet you wish you had me back
Another chance to get it just like that
Like only I can
I bet you wish you had me back
I bet you wish you had me back

04. Innocence

Music & lyrics by Hale, Moody
You see it from the ouitside
You're running toward the wall
Swinging from your blind side
But you don't know me at all
I've been here too many times before
And your tears don't mean a thing
I only come when you scream, I told you

Child, don't follow me home
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay, you'll throw it all away
And I just want to take your innocence

Is this what you wanted?
Did I make your dreams come true?
You're sitting in a corner
Wondering what you got into
And you ache for things you don't understand
That your tears don't mean a thing
And I only come when you scream, and I told you

Child, don't follow me home
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay, you'll throw it all away
And I just wan to take your innocence

There's no such thing as fate
Only yourself to blame you never walked away

Child, don't follow me home
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay, you'll throw it all away
And I just want to take your innocence

05. Familiar Taste Of Poison

Music & lyrics by Hale, Bassett
Drinkt the wine, my darling, you said
Take your time, and consume all of it
But the roses were only to drain my inspiration
The promises were spoiled before they left your lips and...

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison

I tell myself that you're no good for me
I wish you well, but desire never leaves
I could fight this 'til the end
But maybe I don't want to win

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison

I don't wanna be saved, I don't wanna be sober
I want you on my mind, in my dreams behind these eyes
And I won't wake up, no not this time

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison
A familiar taste of poison

06. I'm Not An Angel

Music & lyrics by Hale DioGuardi, Frederiksen
You made a mistake
On the day that you met me and lost your way
You saw all the signs
But you let it go
You closed your eyes
I should've told you to leave
'Cause I knew all the time you couldn't handle me
But you're to hard to resist
When you're on your knees, begging me

I tear you down
I make you bleed eternally
Can't help myself
From hurting you and it's hurting me
I don't have wings so flying with me won't be easy
'Cause I'm not and angel, I'm not an angel

I hate being that wall
That you hit when you feel like you gave it all
I keep taking the blame
When we both know that I'll never change

I tear you down
I make you bleed eternally
Can't help myself
From hurting you and it's hurting me
I don't have wings so flying with me won't be easy
'Cause I'm not and angel, I'm not an angel

I wasn't always this way
I used to be the one with the halo
But that disappeared when I had my first taste and fell from grace
It left me in this place
Now I'm starting to think maybe you like it

I tear you down
I make you bleed eternally
Can't help myself
From hurting you and it's hurting me
I don't have wings so flying with me won't be easy
'Cause I'm not and angel, I'm not an angel
I'm not an angel

07. What Were You Expecting?

Music & lyrics by Hale, Michael, John 5
I know what you must be thinking
But you're not right
You should know I'm not your baby
Not tonight
I never was
The kind of girl to trip and fall in love
I never was
The kind to say enough is enough
I never was
The touchy feely, co-dependent kind
I like the feeling but I'm not on cloud nine
Ya love it ya hate it
Ya think it ya say it
Ya want it ya need it
I tell ya but you don't believe it

What were you expecting?
Another lullaby?
Are you kidding?
You must me high
You must be high
'Cause it was just one kiss
Hey, Hey, Hey

I don't need your flowers they'll just to to waste
I don't want your candy cause I don't like the taste
There never was
A possibility I'd stick around
It never was
My intention just to let you down
I never was
The kind of girl that's good at playin' house
Ya want it ya need it
I tell ya but you don't believe it

What were you expecting?
Another lullaby?
Are you kidding?
You must me high
You must be high
'Cause it was just one kiss
Hey, Hey, Hey

Everything about you makes me scream
Be a man and get up off your knees
I'm trying to say this in the nicest way

What were you expecting?
Another lullaby?
Are you kidding?
You must me high
You must be high
'Cause it was just one kiss
Hey, Hey, Hey

08. Love/Hate Heartbreak

Music & lyrics by Hale, Henriksen, Lukather
Why did I waste my time?
Two steps I don;t rewind
A feeling I can't define
I give back to you (give it all away/take it all away)
I see my demise from behind your eyes
I can't pass you by
I give back to you (give it all way/take it all away)

Between love - between hate
Shake the silence before it's to late
And it haunts you
It's a love/hate heart break

This could be suicide
A kiss with these red knives
Why am I driving blind?
I give back to you (give it all away/take it all away)
Try you on for size
I thought boys don;t cry
You're my perfect lie
I give back to you (give it all away/take it all away)

Between love - between hate
Shake the silence before it's to late
And it haunts you
It's a love/hate heart break

Give it all away
Take it all away

09. Better Sorry Than Safe

Music & lyrics by Hale, Howes, Hanson
I can't even think of one good reason
Whay I'm always thinking of leavin'
It;s not like everything's so horrible
We've been together for a few years now
And you know all my ins and outs
But everything is way to comfortable
From the moment I wake
I plan my escape

I'm not scared
'Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me
And I swear
That I'll find it someday, just wait and see
I don't care
That you call me crazy
I can't stay 'cause I need room to breathe
There's nothing left to say
Better sorry than save

Sometimes I wish you cheated on me
Then leavin' here would be so easy
It's time to take a chance and give you up
In the morning I'll wake
And make my escape

I'm not scared
'Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me
And I swear
That I'll find it someday, just wait and see
I don't care
That you call me crazy
I can't stay 'cause I need room to breathe
There's nothing left to say
Better sorry than save

10. Dirty Work

Music & lyrics by Halestorm
Get on your knees and let the games begin
Bow to your queen and I will crown your head
Cause I can make you every inch a king
Before I do
Tell me what's in it for me

I need someone, young willing and able
You need someone, old enough to know better
I want you to

Do my dirty work, do my dirty work, Oh
Do my dirty work, do my dirty work
Yeah, yeah, c'mon
Do my dirty work, do my dirty work

Let me be your labor of love
My royal garden needs a hired man
Plant your seed, darlin'
my roses are in your hands

I need someone, young willing and able
You need someone, old enough to know better
I want you to

Do my dirty work, do my dirty work, Oh
Do my dirty work, do my dirty work
Yeah, yeah, c'mon
Do my dirty work, do my dirty work

Do my dirty work

11. Nothing To Do With Love

Music & lyrics by Hale, Bassett
You had your hearrt set on angel's kiss
Maybe a taste of bliss
Maybe a long white dress and a fist full of flowers
You wrapped your arms around a murderer
Pretending it didn't hurt
Every time I cut you deeper and deeper

Hey, I'm not the one
I'm not the one
I'm not the one you want to give your heart to

You came
You fell
You thought this was something else
This has got nothing to do with love
(This has nothing to do with)
You beg
You plead
You wanted more then you could keep
This has got nothing to do with love
(This has nothing to do with)

I gave you just enough to paralyze
Thought maybe you could satisfy
Sometimes I get so bored with you, boy


Hey, I'm not the one
I'm not the one
I'm not the one you want to give your heart to

You came
You fell
You thought this was something else
This has got nothing to do with love
(This has nothing to do with)
You beg
You plead
You wanted more then you could keep
This has got nothing to do with love
(This has nothing to do with)

I'm not the one
I'm not the one


You came
You fell
You thought this was something else
This has got nothing to do with love
(This has nothing to do with)
You beg
You plead
You wanted more then you could keep
This has got nothing to do with love
(This has nothing to do with)
