LYRICS | Alessia Cara 'River Of Tears'

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 can't break away I thought that you would be the hero Come and save the day But you're a villain Your sins unforgiven I'm going down, and you have watched me drown In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream Under the waves, I've found the strength to say The river of tears has washed me clean Go 'head and wish me well I'll cry a wishing well I'll fly before I fall I'll set sail and drift away So I won't need you here Love sinks and hope floats In a river of tears In a river of tears I catch your scent in every wind And I recall the love we had I can't pretend that I don't miss you Every now and then But the hurt is for the bet...

LYRICS | Alessia Cara 'Stars'

Knock on my door, boy come home You stay in my head Lay in my arms, why won't you? It's been way too long What you waiting on? Cause I've been laying here Learning what the memories won't do See I need you and baby I need to Let down my guard and give you my scars Open up my heart We could be stars... We could be stars... We could be stars... Rap on my window, come home It's been a while, so stick around Why don't you? 'Til the end of time Say that you'll be mine An uphill climb fighting what the heart Really wants to do See I need you And sometimes we need to Shed our facade and be just who we are All broken and torn, then we could be stars Oh we could be stars... We could be stars... We could be stars... Piercing lights in the dark Make the galaxy ours Kingdom right where we are Shining bright as a morning You'll never be lonely Just promise you'll love me I'm never ...

LYRICS | Alessia Cara 'Overdose'

Oh and I overdose Boy I want off this roller coaster You take me high just to bring me down Oh, and you bring me down, down 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 left me in Why did I let you in? Overzealous, I'm over this Oh I'm over us Over and over I let you under my skin and it's over I promise never again you'd come over Something takes over me I can't control this hallucinogen Oh and I overdose Boy I want off this roller coaster You take me high just to bring me down Oh, and you bring me down Oh and I overdose Boy I want off this roller coaster You take me high just to bring me down Oh, and you bring me down We fight, we laugh Detox, rehab Letting go of what we had Ohh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Over trying Over lies Over crying Over-traumatized Over-worked and moreover I'm done Over and over I...

LYRICS | Alessia Cara 'Wild Things'

Find table space to say your social graces Bow your head, the pie is here, but you and I, we're pioneers We make our own rules, our own room, no bias here Let 'em sell what they are sellin', there are no buyers here So gather all the rebels now, we'll rebel rouse and sing aloud We don't care what they say no way, no way And we will leave the empty chairs to those who say we can't sit there We're fine all by ourselves So aye, we brought our drum and this is how we dance No mistakin', we make our breaks, if you don't like our 808s Then leave us alone, cause we don't need your policies We have no apologies for being... Find me where the wild things are We'll be alright, don't mind us, yeah Find me where the wild things are We'll be just fine, don't mind us, yeah Find me where the wild things are I lose my balance on these eggshells you tell me to tread I'd rather be a wild one instead ...

LYRICS | Alessia Cara 'Four Pink Walls'

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 bass buzz into my brain See I knew I was destined for bigger and better but never said a thing I assumed there was only room for My dreams in my dreams so I'd sleep and repeat 'til the moon went home And I didn't know where it'd take me but made me so crazy in love with it Then the universe aligned With what I had in mind Who knew there was a life Behind those four pink walls? Now I wake up to a different bedroom everyday Living up in the clouds thinking of how it all changed Used to sit and watch paint dry Amazed by the limelight I can't ever be afraid I assumed there was only room for My dreams in my dreams so I'd sleep and repeat 'til the moon went home A...

LYRICS | Alessia Cara 'I'm Yours'

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 you to get me attached to you In fact you tricked me And I wasn't trying to fall in love but boy you pushed me So all that I'm asking Is that you handle me with caution Cause I don't give myself often But I guess I'll try today Cause I've had my heart Broken before And I promised I would never let me hurt anymore But I tore down my walls And opened my doors And made room for one So baby I'm yours Oh baby I'm yours Oh baby I'm yours Oh baby I'm yours Oh baby I'm yours But I tore down my walls And opened my doors And made room for one So baby I'm yours I'm mad at you For being so cute And changing my mood And altering my rude What's wrong with you ...

LYRICS | Alessia Cara 'Outlaws'

Run, run like the devil’s behinds us Run to where no one can find us Be my accomplice to my crime Oh baby Run, run cause we’re guilty as sin Run cause we know we won’t win We know together we kill time You’ll never face a judge without me You’ll never battle the gavel alone And if they lock us away Then I’ll be still here Proudly waiting to kill more time, with you… We’ll be Outlaws We’ll take on the world We’ll be Outlaws Run, run like you never did Cause they found the evidence And they found your fingerprints All on me and baby run Run like your life depends on it Let’s make forever in this moment Tell me you love me again, Oh again And I would waste away without you  You’re the shine into my star I’d be searching till I found you Wherever you are… You are We’ll be Outlaws Partners in crime We’ll take on the world together I’m Bonnie you can be Clyde We’ll be Outlaws You and me They’ll never understand the ...

LYRICS | Alessia Cara 'Seventeen'

Ohh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Ohh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh My daddy says that life comes at you fast We all like blades of grass We come to prime and in time we just wither away And it all changes My view with a looking glass won't catch the past Only photographs remind us of the passing of days Oh nothing stays the same from yesteryears See I recall being afraid of the dark And holding on to teddy bears I'd wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears That was then and now I'm here And the night is mine So hear me scream I was too young to understand what it means I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen Ohh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh I'm Seventeen Ohh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Seventeen Ohh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Seventeen Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen My mother sa...
