How Do I Break Through? (C)2021 By Hope Arden I never took the time to understand you I assumed a lot and let it all just slide through And here I stand now Holding on a lifeline Wishing you would come back Living out this lonely life... You and I were dreamers Hanging on perfection Standing by our principles that led us in the wrong direction Now we're far apart Praying for an answer Tell me what can I do Tell me how to break through How Do I break through? You and I belong together How Do I break through? You and I should be together How Do I get to you? Don't shut me out forever! Everything about you made my life so much better You can't deny everything I've done for you Put you on a pedestal, so high I couldn't see you Standing in the rain Was I the one to blame So hard to figure out this broken heart's game You and I were dreamers Hanging on perfection Standing by our principles that led us in the wrong direction Now we're far apart Praying for an answer Tell me what can I do Tell me how to break through How Do I break through? You and I belong together How Do I break through? You and I should be together How Do I get to you? Don't shut me out forever! Everything about you made my life so much better break Standing in the rain! Was I the one to blame? So hard to figure out this broken heart's game How Do I break through? You and I belong together How Do I break through? You and I should be together How Do I get to you? Don't shut me out forever! Everything about you made my life so much better
3.	How I Roll 04:56	lyrics	buy track
"How I Roll" Written and Copyrighted by Hope Arden & Aktor Produced & Engineered by Aktor for the album: Meant For Life You should know that everyone's alone Everyone is betting on a dream Is the price too high for a better life? Is all the hype really worth what it seems? The world outside is getting so much colder Everyone seems to be under fire I'm alive and this is how I roll... Someone like me can't be controlled I rather spend my days all alone Flip a coin, that's where I'll call home I don't care what others say about me No tricks or bricks can weigh down my soul I can ride for days out on the road Never look back at the doors that I've closed I'm alive and this is how I roll Someone like me can't be controlled I rather spend my days all alone Flip a coin, that's where I'll call home I feel their fear and their rage around me Mistreated like animals in a cage The struggle is real to reach another day Still praying to a God who hides away I'm alive and this is how I roll... Someone like me can't be controlled I rather spend my days all alone Flip a coin, that's where I'll call home I'm alive and this is how I roll... Someone like me can't be controlled I rather spend my days all alone Flip a coin, that's where I'll call home That's where I'll call home I don't care what others say about me No tricks or bricks can weigh down my soul I can ride for days out on the road Never look back at the doors that I've closed

9.	Broken Spirits 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Broken Spirits by Hope Arden Broken Spirits whisper Sounds of sorrow It grabs my ears... Is it me? I hear the strangest mix of sounds, pain, and laughter It echoes through the night like the wind that's beating at the window Like praying... Broken Spirits whisper Sounds of sorrow It grabs my ears "Take away, take away the pain," they say "Take away, take away the pain" Is it me? I feel the soft sensation Awareness I never felt before It beckons to stay and listen Even though I want to run away Broken Spirits whisper Sounds of sorrow It grabs my ears "Take away, take away the pain," they say "Take away, take away the pain" As the silence breaks - I cry As the silence breaks - I die Broken Spirits whisper Sounds of sorrow It grabs my ears "Take away, take away the pain," they say "Take away, take away the pain" As the silence breaks - I cry As the silence breaks - I die
10.	I'd Rather Be With You (acoustic version) 03:02	lyrics	buy track
I'd rather be with you by Hope Arden If the moon lost its light and the sun doesn't rise and the universe explodes while the stars collide I'd rather be with you I'd rather be with you If a train goes off the tracks and a million bees attack and an alien mother ship lands demands their planet back I'd rather be with you! I'd rather be with you! Nothing can erase, your smiling face even when the world turns into a crazy place a tragic place, going wrong everyone running in circles in their heads all - day - long If you lost it at the track Your brother wants his money back someone jacked your car crashed and flipped it on its back Still want to be with you! I wanna be with you! We can dance all night If a bomb blows the city up or a billion zombies chasing us God brings on a second flood Now up to our necks in dirty mud I'd be with you! I'd wanna be with you and We can kiss all night! Nothing can erase, your smiling face even when the world turns into a crazy place a tragic place, going wrong everyone running in circles in their heads all - day - long
