lyrics

Off & On Again:

Verse 1

Girl, we've been together for some time
and things were fine
but now they're in a slow decline
I feel I could die
I need to let it out but I can't cry

How, could things become so wrong
when they were so right?
and we're off more than we're on
I can' t fight
I don't want this to end
though I fear it might

I know that I've messed up in the past
but that don't mean
that the punishment should last
indefinitely
my heart has grown so numb
I can't feel it beat

You, are not the picture of perfection
but I don't judge
even with our imperfections
girl, why the grudge?
I pray for compromise,
but you won't budge


Chorus 1:

I...
love you...
if you opened your eyes
for a second
you would see
I do...

I...
am not your enemy
I'm the best friend
you have in this world
why do you hate me??



Verse 2

Girl, you know my love will never wane
but that don't mean
I couldn't live without the pain
killing me
you want me to give in
but that can't be

We, have to make it work
'cuz I don't need
either one of us to hurt
I just want peace
please try to understand
your words cut, I bleed

You, have to get it through your head
that I'm no cheat
and I just want love, instead
girl, you give me grief
your suffocating me
I can't breathe

Love, I only want to love you
when I'm away
I'm only thinking of you
your my life
the mother of my children
and my wife


Chorus 2:

I...
love you...
if you opened your eyes
for a second
you would see
I do...

I...
am not your enemy
I'm the best friend
you have in this world
why do you hate me??

Why can't you trust me,
like I trust you?

Why can't you love me,
like I love you?

O pain!!!
I can't shake it
the stress is killing me
so heavy
I can't take it


Outro

We, have to make it work
'cuz I don't need
either one of us to hurt
I just want peace
please try to understand
your words cut, I bleed

Love, I only want to love you
when I'm away
I'm only thinking of you
your my life
the mother of my children
and my wife

about

Yellow Journalism Houston, Texas

Colin passed a CD and an invitation to Brandon to form a group. Listening to the concepts Colin had developed, Brandon was compelled to join. After working together for several months, Michael was brought on to complete the trio. Since then, the music has grown into a collaborative effort that reflects the different personalities of all three members, yet is as cohesive as the band. ... more
