You'd Rather

you say i tricked you that night
but you liked it
my hands pressed against the door frame
i said you can have it
you called me a sorceress
i didn't like it
i smiled, but it hurt me more than i admit
i won't try to change your ways
cause you'd rather love girls who love cocaine
you say you met her last night
in the city that won't sleep
stumbling home, doing blow
and you say she's the one you wanna keep
trust me, i know we'd never work
i can't stand the taste of whiskey
even though i don't care
i still wanna hear you say that you miss me
i won't try to change your ways
cause you'd rather love girls who love cocaine
you love girls who don't love you
i'm not saying that i do
what if i do?
you say i tricked you that night
but you liked it
i know you liked it

I Knew Better

i can't take the truth
but that's on me, and not on you
i tell myself this will be the very last time
funny how i believe my own lies
i thought i knew better
i thought i knew better
am i past the point of no return?
how many times can i get burned before i know better?
when will i learn to walk away the moment that it starts to hurt?
no matter how hard i try, it always ends the same
haunted by this fear that i won't change
i thought i knew better
i thought i knew better
am i past the point of no return?
how many times can i get burned before i know better?
how much more can i take?
how many more mistakes can i make?
i thought i knew better
i thought i knew better
am i past the point of no return?
how many times can i get burned before i know better?
before i know better
before i know better

Like You Used To

it's been a while since i've seen your face
same smile, but your eyes have changed
you don't look at me the way you did before
we talk like we've never met
i say things that you'll forget
but you don't want to hear it anymore
i can't act like i didn't hope that
you'd ask me if i want you back
you let go, so i'll let go of the past
i know you never think about me
you don't miss me when you're lonely
thought you might come around if we started new
now i've got it figured out
you don't love me like you used to
love me like you used to
it's not about no broken hearts
grew up and grew apart
in the end, there's nobody to blame
you should know that it hurts
when you see me and don't say a word
pretending you don't even know my name
i can't act like i didn't hope that
you'd ask me if i want you back
you let go, so i'll let go of the past
i know you never think about me
you don't miss me when you're lonely
thought you might come around if we started new
now i've got it figured out
you don't love me like you used to
love me like you used to
love me like you used to
love me like you used to

Bad News

i see your name on the front page
it's almost like i never knew you
between the lines are all the lies
like when you told me that you loved me too
you're the story that i can't put down
gossiping all over town
people like to talk, you know it well
you're my daily dose of tittle tattle
believing all the chitter chatter
hoping i might hear those words from you
but you're just bad news
you made your decision
she's your newest edition
selling out, her big debut
but she'll fade away
and into the mic she'll say
she never would've thought that you wouldn't stay true
you're the story that i can't put down
gossiping all over town
people like to talk, you know it well
you're my daily dose of tittle tattle
believing all the chitter chatter
hoping i might hear those words from you
but you're just bad news
you're the story that i can't put down
gossiping all over town
people like to talk, you know it well
you're my daily dose of tittle tattle
believing all the chitter chatter
hoping i might hear those words from you
but i will never hear those words from you
cause you're just bad news
you're just bad news

Good Things
04:12

you can't jump head first into shallow water
cause you'll just end up hitting the bottom
each piece you're given is made to fit
but sometimes you have to wait for it
good things take time
don't race through life
you don't have to know where you're gonna go
good things take time
they take time
the grass may seem greener on the other side
but if you walk over, you might change your mind
you'll regret living in your head
thinking about how to get ahead
good things take time
don't race through life
you don't have to know where you're gonna go
good things take time
they take time
good things take time
don't race through your life
you don't have to know where you're gonna go
good things take time
good things take time
good things take time
good things take time
they take time

Lauren Reiner Los Angeles, California
Lauren Reiner is a singer-songwriter who, for lack of a better term, sounds like seeing an old lover for the first time in years. Something about her voice is warm and familiar, yet unattainable — and sounds even better over a glass of bourbon.
