overshare

Momma says, that I never met a stranger
Strange thing is everybody's strangers
Guess, I've just been walkin' around with my foot in my mouth
Most of my life
Truth is, conversations make me anxious
Even if we're on a first name basis
Same story for the hundredth time and they roll their eyes
Cause it's TMI

I overshare, because I over-care
About the person over there, who's completely unaware that
I overthink, then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah, I know, there's moments that I'm missin'
If I'd just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare

Like that time, I was overserved on Broadway
Outside the bathroom, cryin' in the hallway
Tellin' every girl that walked by, never date a guy whose name starts with A'
Or the night, that I met somebody famous
I acted a fool, so they'll remain nameless
I showed Instagrams of my dog
Aired all of my laundry
Now I'm just the girl that overshared

I overshare, because I over-care
About the person over there, who's completely unaware that
I overthink, then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah, I know, there's moments that I'm missin'
If I'd just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare

I'm over overanalyzin'
Over all this, over-tryin'
Maybe I should just stay quiet
But I can't
Over overanalyzin'
Over all this, over-tryin'
Maybe I should just stay quiet
But I can't

I overshare, because I over-care
About the person over there, who's completely unaware that
I overthink, then I overdrink to overcompensate
Yeah, I know, there's moments that I'm missin'
If I'd just shut up and listen
But silence makes me scared
So then I overshare

So then I overshare
So then I overshare
So then I overshare

Club

Yeah I like my friends, yeah I like tequila
I like puttin' on a dress and dancin' with my feelings
I could be the life of any party
I can play along with anybody
But sorry

I don't wanna go to the club
I don't wanna watch everybody around me try to hook up
And say stuff they don't mean
And get drunk and get cheap
So what's wrong with me
Cause I don't wanna go to the club

I already know it ain't worth it in the morning
And yeah I like the high, I just don't like payin' for it
I'm stressin' over conversations
But now that's anxiety that I'm erasin'
Cause lately

I don't wanna go to the club
I don't wanna watch everybody around me try to hook up
And say stuff they don't mean
And get drunk and get cheap
So what's wrong with me
Cause I don't wanna go to the club

I don't wanna wake up on the floor of a bathroom
Lookin' at the stamps on my hand like a tattoo
Say I'm never doin' that again if I don't have to
And I don't have to go to the club

So I don't wanna go to the club

I don't wanna go to the club
I don't wanna watch everybody around me try to hook up
And say stuff they don't mean
And get drunk and get cheap
So what's wrong with me
Cause I don't wanna go to the club

I don't wanna wake up on the floor of a bathroom
Lookin' at the stamps on my hand like a tattoo
Say I'm never doin' that again if I don't have to
And I don't have to go to the club

The Other Girl

(with Halsey)

I bet you're from out West somewhere
Hazel eyes and dark brown hair
And everything you wear fits you just right
I bet you drink martinis dry
And never let him see you cry
I bet you're more promiscuous than I

I bet you're bold
I bet that's why
You seem to occupy his mind
I bet you're smart
But do you know about me?

Is it me, is it you?
Tell me who
Who's the other girl?
Who's the first?
Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond?
Who's the pearl?
Are you mad?
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you?
Who's the other girl?

Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlett letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl

Are you the one he's talkin' to
When he gets up and leaves the room
And comes back with a distance in his eyes?
Maybe I should be the one to leave?
But damn when he starts lovin' me
Makes me think I'm all that's on his mind

Is it me, is it you?
Tell me who
Who's the other girl?
Who's the first?
Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond?
Who's the pearl?
Are you mad?
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you?
Who's the other girl?

Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlett letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl

I bet you're cool
I bet that's why
You seem to occupy his time
I bet by now
You know about me
You know about me

Is it me, is it you?
Tell me who
Who's the other girl?
Who's the first?
Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond?
Who's the pearl?
Are you mad?
Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me, is it you?
Who's the other girl?

Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlett letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl

Love Me Like A Girl

Sometimes I don't like what's in the mirror
Uncomfortable standin' in my skin
Yeah, sometimes I feel a little broken
Doesn't mean I need to be put together again

So, when I'm cryin'
Baby let me cry
Don't fix it
Don't try to make it right

I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
Cause my friends, they don't hurt me, baby, not like you
Yeah, I wish you could know me, baby, like they do
I wish you could get inside my head
Baby, maybe then you'd understand
Why I wish you could love me like a girl

I know, you don't mean to be insensitive
And I know, you're never tryin' to brush me off
The truth is me and you, we're wired different
So it makes sense sometimes we get crossed

So when I'm cryin'
Baby pour some red
When you want to kiss it better
Listen instead

I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
Cause my friends, they don't hurt me, baby, not like you
Yeah, I wish you could know me, baby, like they do
I wish you could get inside my head
Baby, maybe then you'd understand
Why I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl

I love the way you make me feel like I'm safely
In the palm of your hand
And I love the way you hold me, in the dark, babe
Yeah, just like a man

But I wish you could love me like a girl
I wish you could love me like a girl
Cause my friends, they don't hurt me, baby, not like you
Yeah I wish you could know me, baby, like they do
I wish you could get inside my head
Baby, maybe then you'd understand
Why I wish you could love me like a girl

Love and Hate

There's a thin, thin line between love and hate
Between a heart that's whole and a heart that breaks
Between ending the world or saving the day
There's a thin, thin line between love and hate

We used to be so happy, didn't we
We used to say that forever'd be easy
But the day that you lied, I felt it all change
I crossed that thin, thin line between love and hate

Now there's a thin, thin line between you and me
Between what this is now and what we used to be
The one that you choose to the one that you cheat
Now there's a thin, thin line between you and me

We used to be so happy, didn't we (We used to be happy)
We used to say that forever'd be easy (Forever'd be easy)
But the day that you lied, I felt it all change
I crossed that thin, thin line between love and hate

We used to be happy

Now there's a thin, thin line between love and hate
Between a heart that's whole and a heart that breaks
We used to be so happy, didn't we (We used to be happy)
We used to say that forever'd be easy (Forever'd be easy)
But the day that you lied, I felt it all change
I crossed that thin, thin line between love and hate

We used to be happy
Forever'd be easy
We used to be happy

bragger

He's got the look
He's got the touch
He's got the eyes that make me crush
And he's not one to make a scene but he deserves the spotlight
He ain't from 'round
This side of town
But he fits into every crowd
And he knows how to do my body and my heart right

I know a lady should always be modest
But I'm just bein' honest

I don't wanna be a bragger
But my man's a heart attacker
Like McConaughey and Jagger
Hotter than a Saturday night
I can't help it that I flaunt him (All the time)
I understand why you would want him (I don't mind)
And you can keep up all the chatter 'bout my happy ever after
'Cause all that really matters is he's mine

I've got his nights
I've got his name
There ain't no shame in this girl's game
If he were yours, you'd do the same without apologizing

And he'd never tell you he don't want attention
But he's just too damn good not to mention

I don't wanna be a bragger
But my man's a heart attacker
Like McConaughey and Jagger
Hotter than a Saturday night
I can't help it that I flaunt him (All the time)
I understand why you would want him (I don't mind)
And you can keep up all the chatter 'bout my happy ever after
'Cause all that really matters is he's mine

If he were a wine, he'd be the shelf at the top (Top)
If he were a house, he'd be the end of the block (Block)
Walked up to my heart and went knock, knock, knock
So I've got to show him off

I don't wanna be a bragger
But my man's a heart attacker
Like McConaughey and Jagger
Hotter than a Saturday night
I can't help it that I flaunt him (All the time)
I understand why you would want him (I don't mind)
And you can keep up all the chatter 'bout my happy ever after
'Cause all that really matters is he's mine

hole in the bottle

It ain't my fault
So don't blame me
I swear I just came here to unwind and have one drink
The way it looks
Ain't what you think
This cabernet has a way of vanishin' on me

There's a hole in the bottle
Leakin' all this wine
It's already empty and it ain't even suppertime
Honey, no, I don't miss him
In fact, it slipped my mind
There's a hole in the bottle of wine

I keep my cool
Play by all the rules
I swear ten minutes ago that bottle was full
I won't cry
About love gone wrong
'Cause tears would water down this ruby red I'm sippin' on

There's a hole in the bottle
Leakin' all this wine
It's already empty and it ain't even suppertime
Honey, no, I don't miss him
In fact, it slipped my mind
There's a hole in the bottle of wine

I went and got a new one
'Cause the other one was broken
Now this one's halfway gone
And it's barely even open

There's a hole in the bottle
Leakin' all this wine
It's already empty and it ain't even suppertime
Honey, no, I don't miss him
In fact, it slipped my mind
There's a hole in the bottle of wine

You may ask me where it's goin'
But I can't even find
The hole in the bottle of wine

half of my hometown

(feat. Kenny Chesney)

Half of my high school got too drunk
Half of my high school fell in love
With the girl next door
In their daddy's Ford
Half of my main street's mini skirts
Half of my main street's dressed for church
It could use some rain
And a fresh coat of paint

Half of my hometown's still hangin' around
Still talkin' about that one touchdown
They're still wearin' red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown they all got out
Some went north
Some went south
Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown

Half of our prom queens cut their hair
Half of them think that it ain't fair
The quarterback moved away and never came back
Half of my family is happy I left
The other half worries I'll just forget
Where I came from
Same place where they came from

Half of my hometown's still hangin' around
Still talkin' about that one touchdown
They're still wearin' red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown they all got out
Some went north
Some went south
Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found
So stay or leave
Part of me will always be
Half of my hometown
Half of my hometown

Backroads raise us
Highways they take us
Memories make us wanna go back

To our hometown, settle down
Talk about that one touchdown
Raise some kids in red and black
Go Bobcats, while the other half
Of my hometown was in the crowd
They knew the words
They sang them loud
And all I wanna do is make them proud
Cause half of me will always be
Knoxville, Tennessee
My hometown
My hometown

the way I used to

(In the way, in the way)
In the way I used to, yeah

Friday night I'm paranoid
Faded out, like Polaroids
Liquid courage in my veins right now
I always hit you up when
There's too much in my cup, yeah
That's when those memories start gettin' loud

I didn't mean to write a song about you
But a couple shots and all the words pour out
I swear, I'm doin' better off without you
So I don't know why, but I wanna find out

Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
Does somebody touch you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
I know it's three in the mornin'
It's tequila talkin'
Damn, your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you?
In the way I do
I mean

Still postin' all your pictures
Damn, I wish you looked different
Without that sorry look all in your eyes
And yeah you made me crazy
Do I miss you, well, maybe
Or am I drunk on the idea tonight?

I didn't mean to write a song about you
But a couple shots and all the words pour out
I swear I'm doin' better off without you
So I don't know why but I wanna find out
I wanna find out

Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
Does somebody touch you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
I know it's three in the mornin'
It's tequila talkin'
Damn, your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to

(In the way, in the way)
In the way I used to
(In the way, in the way)
In the way I used to

And damn, your voice is all up in my head again
Space between us don't stop me from wonderin'
I didn't mean to write a song about you
No, no, here we are though
And now I gotta know

Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
Does somebody touch you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to
I know it's three in the mornin'
It's tequila talkin'
Damn your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you
In the way I do
I mean the way I used to

Ignore me
It's just tequila talkin'
Ignore me
It's just tequila talkin'

needy

I like my Fridays all alone
With no reason to check my phone
My friends are out and I think nothin' of it
Content with myself, on my own

But now I look in your eyes every day, every night
I think about you all the time, yeah you got me like
Who am I?

If touchin' you's gonna make me easy
That's okay, cause I don't want space
If not sayin' enough's gonna make you leave me
I swear to God, I'll talk all day
You've never needed anybody, but now you need me
I was the same
But things have changed
I'm needy, I'm needy

Want every moment, that you're free
And then I miss you, when you leave
I bet your momma, probably, thinks I'm selfish
Look at what you've done to me

Now I look in your eyes every day, every night
I think about you all the time, yeah you got me like
Who am I?

If touchin' you's gonna make me easy
That's okay, cause I don't want space
If not sayin' enough's gonna make you leave me
I swear to God, I'll talk all day
You've never needed anybody, but now you need me
I was the same
But things have changed
I'm needy

I know how it sounds, but I don't, I don't care, no
I know how it sounds, but I don't, I don't care, no
I know how it sounds, but I don't, I don't care, no
I know how it sounds

If touchin' you's gonna make me easy
That's okay, cause I don't want space
If not sayin' enough's gonna make you leave me
I swear to God, I'll talk all day
You've never needed anybody, but now you need me
I was the same
But things have changed
I'm needy

a country song

When I need to put my feet back on the ground
I go back to my hometown
When I need a night to act my age
Me and my friends stay out too late
And when I need to feel good in my skin
I drop everything and run to him
When nothin' makes sense but I need to talk
That's when I call my mom

But I wanna write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And I'm almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some whether it's right or wrong
I stay up all night
Done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write
A country song

Got me through the drama with my ex
The first time that I had sex
The day the word divorce got really real
My first year in Nashville
Maybe it's cause of my raisin'
What my parents were playin'
But when I feel my heart breakin'
No hesitation

I go and write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And I'm almost out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some whether it's right or wrong
I stay up all night
Done it my whole life
Sometimes you gotta write
A country song

About love, about lies, about my baby's truck
Real life, that's the stuff
Yeah first kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups
My life, that's what

Makes me write a country song
When nothin's gentle on my mind
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
And now I'm out of wine
When I get so lonesome
My truth gets told some whether it's right or wrong
It gets me every time
Story of my life
There ain't nothin' like
A country song

About love, about lies, about my baby's truck
Real life, that's the stuff

A country song

First kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups
My life that's what

la

I've got a love and hate relationship with LA
Off the plane, paint my face in the car, park my heart at the valet
I watch the sun sink down over Santa Monica Boulevard
When I'm lonely and I'm missin' home
But other times I feel like my blood is runnin' Cali

I've got some famous friends that I could call
But I don't know if I'm cool enough
And what's worse than spendin' time alone
Is one of them not pickin' up
It's hard to grow and time to go
But some days I wanna stay
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA

I wonder if I'll get invited to the party
Yeah and if I do, will I go?
If I go, will I know somebody?
I'm on my third glass of wine tryin' to find conversation
In a room with bigger names
But other days I'm lookin' out for real estate

Confetti's fallin', friends are callin'
Saw me on the TV
But if I let down my hair in the ocean air
Will Tennessee be mad at me?
Yeah, I know it ain't a one-way road
But sometimes it feels that way
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA

Yeah, ooh
Yeah, ooh

Sometimes it feels like it's all real but nothin' here is as it seems
I ask myself does it feed my soul or my anxiety?
Carpet's red, ego's fed, but it's myself that I have to face
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA

(Yeah, ooh)
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA, LA
(Yeah, ooh)
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA, LA
(Yeah, ooh)
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA, LA
(Yeah, ooh)
I've got a love and hate relationship with LA, LA
