Bea Miller - Not An Apology Album Lyrics

Young Blood

We were making history
Breaking rules and breaking free
Questioning the writing on the wall
Coming from the underground
Laughing as we're falling down
Soaking in the glory of it all

But in dark times when we close our eyes
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
When the sun don't shine we lose our minds
But I swear, we can get there

We've got young blood
Can't destroy us
We make our own luck in this world
We've got young blood
No one chose us
We make our own love in this world

Someday we could run away
See it all before the pictures fade
And bottle up the feeling in a jar
Pass around to all our friends
We can breathe it in and out again
Huddled in the backseat of the car

But in dark times when we close our eyes
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
When the sun don't shine we lose our minds
But I swear, we can get there

We've got young blood
Can't destroy us
We make our own luck in this world
We've got young blood
No one chose us
We make our own love in this world

And the voices will get loud
If you never learn to shut them out
If you're lost you can be found
If you follow me until you hear the sound
Put 'em up, put 'em up now
If you know we're never backing down
We're never backing down, no

We've got young blood
Can't destroy us
We make our own luck in this world
We've got young blood
No one chose us
We make our own love in this world

We've got young blood
Can't destroy us
We make our own luck in this world
We've got young blood
No one chose us
We make our own love in this world
Yeah, cause we've got young blood

Fire N Gold

Like an astronaut that's scared of heights
With a heart that's beating at the speed of light
You've been waiting for this feeling all your life
Sometimes it's just hard to realize

When you're stuck in a moment
And your spark has been stolen
This is our time to own it
So own it

Baby, we were born with
Fire & gold in our eyes, eyes
With fire & gold in our eyes, eyes
Got lightning in a bottle
Hands on the throttle
Even in the dust we shine
With fire & gold in our eyes

There is something different about you and I (about you and I)
And I feel like I have known you my whole life
There is beauty behind every tear you've cried
Sometimes it's just hard to realize

When you're stuck in a moment
And your spark has been stolen
This is our time to own it
So own it

Baby, we were born with
Fire & gold in our eyes, eyes
With fire & gold in our eyes, eyes
Got lightning in a bottle
Hands on the throttle
Even in the dust we shine
With fire & gold in our eyes

There is love inside this madness
We are walking on the moon
Though I don't believe in magic
I believe in me and you
Oo, ooo, oooo...
Oo, ooo, oooo...
I believe in me and you
I believe in me and you

Baby, we were born with
Fire & gold in our eyes, eyes
With fire & gold in our eyes, eyes
Got lightning in a bottle
Hands on the throttle
Even in the dust we shine
With fire & gold in our eyes

Yea, yea, yea
Oo, ooo, oooo...
Yea, yea, yea...
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

I Dare You

I can remember a time when I was so afraid
When even my shadow wouldn't follow me

So I, I, I'm picking up my sword
To shatter all the pieces that I was before
Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, for

So put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no
Throw away the key
I dare you
And I won't let you tear me down, no

I had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind
And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was right

But I'm not that girl anymore
Yeah, I lost the battle but I won the war
Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, for

So put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no
Throw away the key
I dare you
And I won't let you tear me down, no

I just kept on running, running, running
Trying to find out who I was
I would go the distance but it wasn't far enough
But now I'm standing straight and know exactly who I am
Yeah, yeah
I can remember a time when I was so afraid

So put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no
Throw away the key
I dare you
And I won't let you tear me down, no

Paper Doll

Does it make you feel good to make me feel small?
When you're pushing me down, does it make you feel tall?
Pointing out my flaws cause you wanna erase them all
Does it make you feel good to make

Betcha didn't think I knew what I was made of
Thought I would lay down
I wouldn't stand up
Well listen up cause you got it all wrong
This is your song, this is your song

I'm not a paper doll
Can't make me what you want
You just build me up and tear me down
Enough's enough
Go, leave me alone
Cut me down but I won't fall
I'm not a paper doll

Did somebody make you feel invisible?
Is it true hurt people hurt people?
The way you hate and break
It don't make no sense at all
But you're not gonna make me feel invisible

Betcha didn't think I knew what I was made of
Thought I would lay down
I wouldn't stand up
Well listen up cause you got it all wrong
This is your song, this is your song

I'm not a paper doll
Can't make me what you want
You just build me up and tear me down
Enough's enough
Go, leave me alone
Cut me down but I won't fall
I'm not a paper doll
I'm not a paper doll
Can't make me what you want
You just build me up and tear me down
Enough's enough
Go, leave me alone
Cut me down but I won't fall

Oh, you'd love if you crumble me up
In the palm of your hands
Well, I bet that sucks
Cause now you know you can't

Does it make you feel good to make me feel small?
When you're pushing me down, does it make you feel tall?

I'm not a paper doll
Can't make me what you want
You just build me up and tear me down
Enough's enough
Go, leave me alone
Cut me down but I won't fall
I'm not a paper doll
I'm not a paper doll
Can't make me what you want
You just build me up and tear me down
Enough's enough
Go, leave me alone
Cut me down but I won't fall
I'm not a paper doll

Perfect Picture

I can't believe that I ended up here
I can't believe, I can't believe that
Just when I thought that the road was so clear
Had no idea, had no idea

You'd come right out of nowhere
Spin me around
How did you make my world come crashing down

Tonight, you made my perfect picture look like black and white
I know I've never seen my colors so alive
With you around, I know that we're gonna be fine
Tonight, you made my perfect picture come to life

We always think that we know what we want
That's where we go, but where we going?
We always think we have it all figured out
But all we know, we know is nothing
One thing can make it all change
So hold on tight, hold on tight
One thing can make it all change
In just one night, I don't know why

You'd come right out of nowhere
Spin me around
How did you make my world come crashing down

Tonight, you made my perfect picture look like black and white
I know I've never seen my colors so alive
With you around, I know that we're gonna be fine
Tonight, you made my perfect picture come to life, life, life
You made my perfect picture come to life, life
And I don't know why

You came right out of nowhere
Spin me around
How did you make my world come crashing down?

Tonight, you made my perfect picture look like black and white
I know I've never seen my colors so alive
With you around, I know that we're gonna be fine
Tonight, you made my perfect picture come to life
Tonight, you made my perfect picture come to life
Tonight, you made my perfect picture come to life

Enemy Fire

Oh, oh, oh [3x]
Enemy fire!

[Verse 1:]
Who's a friend, who's an enemy
'Cause sometimes they look the same to me
But looks can be pleasing, yet so deceiving
Sweet words from a serpent's tongue
It's like playing with a loaded gun
Who knows what truth is?
How do you prove it?
I swear I see you watching me, well

[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh
Come a little closer
Oh, oh, oh
You could be my soldier
Oh, oh, oh
Keeping me safe from all who conspire
Enemy fire!
Oh, oh, oh
I'm looking for some shelter
Oh, oh, oh
From the helter skelter
Oh, oh, oh
Just keep me away from all who conspire
Enemy fire!
Oh, oh, oh [3x]
Enemy fire! [2x]

[Verse 2:]
Burn a hole through the plastic crowd
'Cause I've been trying to find the way out
It's so confusing but never amusing
Sweet smiles in the aftermath
Turned to whispering behind my back
I need an ally to guard the night time
Someone to keep me from these crazies

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
All around me I hear cries
And bombs are falling from the skies
Can't you help me save my life?

[Chorus]

Force Of Nature

[Verse 1:]
I don't know why but my hands are shaking
I can see you coming and I stand here waiting
Yeah I get tongue tied in the conversation
It's an F'd up, bad, sick situation

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I tried to tie my heart down, board up all the windows
Oh but it's too late now
I let you get too close
I know I should take cover, hide inside these four walls
But baby I surrender, it all

[Chorus:]
'Cause you're a force of nature
Look at what you've done
I can taste the danger but I don't wanna run
So pull me to the ground and I won't put up a fight
I'm a caution taker, but baby you're a force of nature
Baby you're a force of nature

[Verse 2:]
I feel your lips move in and they take me under
You know just what to do, how to make me want you
And I know I'll be broken when it's over
Oh but I can't help but pull you closer

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I tried to tie my heart down, board up all the windows
Oh but it's too late now
I let you get too close

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'll be here 'till we collide
I don't care if I survive
So crash into me one more time
Yeah, yeah, oh

[Chorus]

Baby you're a force of nature [x2]

This Is Not An Apology

I like it loud, you turn it down
You wanna talk, but what about?
I wanna dance, you cut me off
Who falls asleep at ten o clock?

Ain't got no sympathy
Don't wipe your tears on me
I hate to be so mean
But I just have to say

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, ay
This is not an apology

I was the girl lain in the dirt
Rather ripped up jeans than a mini skirt
Don't need two hours to get out the door
You're supposed to be the guy, who do you need more?

Ain't got no sympathy
Don't wipe your tears on me
I hate to be so mean
But I just have to say

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, ay

And I never will be the girl who says sorry
And you should have known right from the start
I needed a hero, and I got a zero, so pack your bags
And take your broken heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, ay

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, ay
This is not an apology

Dracula

Here is my story, I've got my type
Tattoos and skinny jeans, black boots and piercings
A public enemy

Not Cinderella, still got my shoes
I like the animal, the supernatural
Maybe I'm crazy but

If you were Dracula
I'd be letting you take that bite
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite

Yeah I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah I love, I love the tragically beautiful

I am a night owl, I come alive
I'll make the sun go down so I can see you out
Straight to the underground

I like the broken, imperfect rules
That's why you're wonderful, it's undeniable
I might be crazy but

If you were Dracula
I'd be letting you take that bite
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite

Yeah I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah I love, I love the tragically beautiful

Only one kiss, only one
Only one kiss, you'll be k-k-k-k-killing me
Only one kiss, only one
Only one kiss, you'll be k-k-k-k-killing me

Hey! Hey!

If you were Dracula
I'd be letting you take that bite
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite

Yeah I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah I love, I love the tragically beautiful

We're Taking Over

This is to the ones who broke our hearts
This is to the ones who played a part
In making our lives a living hell
This is to the voices in our heads
This is to the ones who always said

And so what, we know we're worth it

Listen up, here's our song
For the young, the lost and the underdogs
We're taking over
We're taking over
We get it right and we get it wrong
But we got used to staying strong
We're taking over
We're taking over now, now, now, yeah

This is for the ones who you walk by
This if for the ones who took their lives
It gets better, give it time
This is for the girls who like chicks
And this is for the guys who like chicks lips
Baby, the world is yours and mine

So what if we're not perfect
And so what, we know we're worth it

Listen up, here's our song
For the young, the lost and the underdogs
We're taking over
We're taking over
We get it right and we get it wrong
But we got used to staying strong

We're taking over now, now, now, yeah
We're taking over now, now, now, yeah
We're taking over now

Rich Kids

After school I always had to work,
It kinda left me feeling like a jerk.
Cause I never got to talk to the guy I liked,
And that ain't right.

And then he met another type,
Made him buy her all the things she liked.
I learned a lot about life,
When she jumped in his convertible.

Singin' oh la da da da, without a care in the world,
Oh la da da da I'm not that kinda girl.

Rich kids got a lot to say,
Rich kids never have to pay.
Everything's funny when you're young with money,
And mommy and daddy will pay the way.

Rich kids never go to jail,
Rich kids never buy on sale,
Rich kids always have the most fun.
Man I wish that I was one.

A little later on in life,
When I finally get my money right,
It's still never enough,
For the stuck up types.

They say my money's new,
And she's got a better view,
As they sail away on their fathers yacht,
This is what I got.

Oh la da da da, without a care in the world,
Oh la da da da, I'm not that kinda girl.

Rich kids got a lot to say,
Rich kids never have to pay.
Everything's funny when you're young with money,
And mommy and daddy will pay the way.

Rich kids never go to jail,
Rich kids never buy on sale,
Rich kids always have the most fun.
Man I wish that I was one.

Maybe he's not for me,
Maybe he did me a favor.
Maybe he saved me some trouble down the line,
But maybe they're just like me.
Baby it's what they mean,
Don't judge a book by the cover.

Rich kids got a lot to say,
Rich kids never have to pay.
Everything's funny when you're young with money,
And mommy and daddy will pay the way.

Rich kids never go to jail,
Rich kids never buy on sale,
Everything's funny when you're young with money,
And mommy and daddy will pay the way.

Rich kids never go to jail,
Rich kids never buy on sale
Rich kids always have the most fun.
Man I wish that I was one.
