Tori Kelly
"Where I Belong (Intro)"
I'm just a girl and her guitar
Trying to give you my whole heart
If there's anybody out there listening to me
All I have is a story and a dream
Here I am, and that's all I can be
You know I forget to breathe sometimes
And I'm so afraid to fall behind
Why do I let the pressure take over my mind?
When I know the truth is never wrong
I'm alright, this is right where I belong
=================
"Unbreakable Smile"
La da da da dee, you’re not breaking me
La de da da da da da da da, yeah
Somebody told me fame is a disease
You start singing the blues when you start seeing the green
But I think it's all about what you choose
The way you live your life, depends on you
That’s when I realized I wanna make a difference
Change other people’s lives, give hope, even for a moment
Use my name for good and change the game I could
Because to make it you think I gotta act a certain way,
Be a little bit insane, live a little, it's okay
I guess we have different definitions of living, but you’ll twist my words anyway
You’ll say that I’m naïve, like I don’t have a past,
You're the one being deceived, I see right behind the mask
Tryna to stir me up and get me mad
I smile because happiness is all I have, so
La da da da dee, you’re not breaking me
La de da da da, ain’t got time for ya, singing
La da da da dee, you won’t shatter me
La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile
You see me hanging with my fam, but that don’t mean I’m living in a bubble
You’ll find me at church, but that don’t mean I can’t cause trouble
Stir up a little scene 'cause isn't that what you want?
For me to mess up, so you can dress up some story
Saying, Tori this’ll sell more records
But I’d rather make ’em yawn than be a pawn on your chessboard
So call me boring, call me cookie cutter
Call me what you want
A matter of fact
Just say it loud and don’t st-stutter
'Cause I know who I am, yeah I’m still the same
Just a California girl with big dreams
Thinking maybe they’ll let me sing songs about real things
And baby who knows maybe I can sell out shows without taking off my clothes
God made me sexy I don't care if only I know
La da da da dee, you’re not breaking me
La de da da da, ain’t got time for ya, singing
La da da da dee, you won’t shatter me
La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile
Oh oh [2x]
And I'll just keep on singing.
La da da da dee, you’re not breaking me
La de da da da, ain’t got time for ya
La da da da dee, you won’t shatter me
La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile
I might be smiling, yes
But don't mistake kindness from weakness
============================
"Nobody Love"
(Why, why)
Everybody’s looking for that something
No one ever wants to pay the price
Everybody's scared of going nowhere
But we ain’t going anywhere tonight
I should be more cynical and tell myself it’s not okay
(To feel this good when I’m with you)
I try my best to fight it, say I hate you but I always stay
Woah, woah, woah cause
[Chorus:]
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you-oo-oo-oo do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you-oo-oo-oo do
Everybody’s talking ‘bout the next thing
Feel like what they got ain’t good enough
But all I wanna do is release the tension
Bring the conversation back to us
I should be more cynical and tell myself it’s not okay
(To feel this good when I’m with you)
I try my best to fight it, say I hate you but I always stay
Woah, woah, woah cause
[Chorus:]
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you-oo-oo-oo do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you-oo-oo-oo do
Can we stop all the yelling baby hear me out
I want you here and now
I try my best to fight it, say I hate you but I always stay
Hey, hey, hey…
Yeah, alright, everybody’s looking for that new thing
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Ain’t nobody, nobody, nobody love
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you-oo-oo-oo do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you-oo-oo-oo do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you do
Ain’t nobody love, ain’t nobody love like you-oo-oo-oo do

"Expensive"
(feat. Daye Jack)
Let me tell ya baby
Don't need no diamonds on my body
Got no green in my eyes
(Can you feel me, yeah)
In a brand new Bentley
I'll tell you now it makes no difference
Just want all of your time
'Cause you kiss me like I'm dreamin'
Like I'm one in a million
And I think it's time your figured it out, oooh
'Cause I know I got that somethin'
And it won't cost you nothin'
I already feel expensive enough
Turn that gold into dust
That's what matters, matters
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Money don't buy love
Money don't buy love
No your money don't buy love
No your money don't buy love
No your money don't buy love
Your money don't buy love
So call me crazy
No I'm not starin' at your pocket
I ain't diggin' for dimes
(Can you feel me, yeah)
The fact is baby
We've all been taught to chase that dollar
But that's not on my mind
'Cause you kiss me like I'm dreamin'
Like I'm one in a million
And I think it's time your figured it out, oooh
'Cause I know I got that somethin'
And it won't cost you nothin'
I already feel expensive enough
Turn that gold into dust
That's what matters, matters
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Money don't buy love
Money don't buy love
No your money don't buy love
No your money don't buy love
No your money don't buy love

'Cause you kiss me like I'm dreamin'
Like I'm one in a million
And I think it's time your figured it out, oooh
'Cause I know I got that somethin'
And it won't cost you nothin'
I already feel expensive enough
Turn that gold into dust
That's what matters, matters
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Money don't buy love
==================
"First Heartbreak"
You never hear me singin' love songs
wasn't big on poetry
never cried in the movies
didn't wanna feel so weak
I would never talk about it
never let it get too deep
but something in me's changin'
guess you did something to me
'Cause for the first time I get worried
when I'm lookin' in your eyes
that one day you might leave me
and it keeps me up at night
I guess that means I really love you
'cause I'm afraid to make mistakes
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak
oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak
Maybe I shouldn't be thinkin' so far ahead
better just enjoy this moment
and be happy for what I get
but you know it's not that easy
to get out of my head
so I guess that it's a good thing
when you want something so bad
'Cause for the first time I get worried
when I'm lookin' in your eyes
that one day you might leave me
and it keeps me up at night
I guess that means I really love you
'cause I'm afraid to make mistakes
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak
oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak
I wanna run I wanna stay
hold every piece so it won't break
wanna let go, wanna hold tight
afraid that I might suffocate, you with my love
how much is enough?
how much is too safe?
'Cause for the first time I get worried
when I'm lookin' in your eyes
that one day you might leave me
and it keeps me up at night
I guess that means I really love you
'cause I'm afraid to make mistakes
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak
oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh
if you ever left me that would be my first heartbreak

"I Was Made For Loving You"
(feat. Ed Sheeran)
[Tori Kelly:]
A dangerous plan, just this time
A stranger's hand clutched in mine
I'll take this chance, so call me blind
I've been waiting all my life
Please don't scar this young heart
Just take my hand
[Chorus - Tori Kelly:]
I was made for loving you
Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through
Every bone screaming I don't know what we should do
All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you
[Ed Sheeran:]
Hold me close through the night
Don't let me go, we'll be alright
Touch my soul and hold it tight
I've been waiting all my life
I won't scar your young heart
Just take my hand
[Chorus - Tori Kelly & Ed Sheeran:]
Cause I was made for loving you
Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through
Every bone screaming I don't know what we should do
All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you
Please don't go, I've been waiting so long
Oh, you don't even know me at all
But I was made for loving you
[Chorus - Tori Kelly & Ed Sheeran:]
I was made for loving you
Even though we may be hopeless hearts just passing through
Every bone screaming I don't know what we should do
All I know is, darling, I was made for loving you
==========================
"Should've Been Us"
Walking round with my head down
But I can't hide with these high heels on
Downtown in a thick crowd
But it's just you that my mind is on
Dressed up, got my heart messed up
You got yours and I got mine
It's unfair that I still care
And I wonder where you are tonight
Thinking it could be different
But maybe we missed it yea
Thinking it could be different
It could, it could
It should've been us
Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm
It should've been us
Coulda been the real thing, now we'll never know for sure, ooh
We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both know
It should've been us, us
It, it, it should've been us
Back and forth like a tug of war
What's it all for, do I want it back
I still got a little flame for ya
Even though you drove me mad
Now and then, I pretend
That it's you when I close my eyes
You got yours, I got mine
But I wonder where you are tonight
It should've been us
Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm
It should've been us
Coulda been the real thing, now we'll never know for sure, ooh
We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both know
It should've been us, us
It, it, it should've been us
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us, yeah
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us
It, it, it should've been us
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Thinking it could be different
But maybe we missed it
Thinking it could be different
It could, it could
It should've been us
Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm
It should've been us
Coulda been the real thing, now we'll never know for sure, ooh
We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both know
It should've been us, us
It, it, it should've been us
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us, yeah
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us
It, it, it should've been us
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us
Oh oh, oh oh
You know it should've been us
Oh oh, oh oh
It should've been us
It, it, it should've been us
============================
"City Dove"
Don't know what it's all about
But every time I look around
All I see is how we're holdin' on
Don't ask me what's wrong or right
I don't even know the time
All I know is I'm holdin' on
I haven't figured anything out
I haven't figured anything anything anything out
City dove, fly between the buildings and fences
Soft inside but rough on the edges
Waiting here for something to come just holdin' on
Oooh,
City dove, fly between the stars and the headlights
Passin' by the clouds and the street signs
Knowing that there's something to come, just holdin' on
I don't really know my fate
I just know I'm on my way
There will be mistakes movin' on
Try to get to the heart of it
Fly low but lookin' for Heaven
I know, I know I'm holding on
Won't figure everything out
Never figure everything everything everything out
City dove, fly between the buildings and fences
Soft inside but rough on the edges
Waiting here for something to come just holdin' on
Oooh,
City dove, fly between the stars and the headlights
Passin' by the clouds and the street signs
Knowing that there's something to come, just holdin' on
Ooohh, ooooh yeah, oooh, knowing that there's something to come, just holdin' on ooon...
Fly between the stars and the headlights
Passin' by the clouds and the street signs
Knowing that there's something to come, just holdin' on, ooonnnn...
============================
"Talk"
People talk, people talk
But they don't wanna say what they're really trying to say
Hopes and fears, smoke and mirrors
Save all the thinking, words by themselves they just fade
People run, people walk
But they don't ever see past the world that they're in
So if it's talk that you want from me then maybe you should let me in
Oh, you keep saying you won't let me go
Oh, you keep saying what I've heard before
Talk
Playing with empty hearts, leading words felt like they're just going no where now
So if it's talk that you want from me then maybe you should let me in
Oh, you keep saying you won't let me go
Oh, you keep saying what I've heard before
Oh, you keep saying you won't let me go
All I hear is talk
I know all about you, know all about you
Know all about you
You keep saying you won't let me go
Talk
Oh, you keep saying you won't let me go
Talk
Oh, you keep saying you won't let me go
Talk
You keep saying things I've heard before babe
Heard before babe
Talk
====================
"Funny (Live)"
It's so easy to lose all the meaning of who you are
What is your definition of a true superstar?
Is it beauty? Is it money? Is it power? Is it fame?
Are you in it for the glory? What's the purpose? What's the game?
Everything you ever wanted got you tied up in chains
Be careful how you play the game
Cause the same things that chose you are the same things that own you
The same thing that built you is the same thing that kills you
The same ones that praise you are the same ones that hate you
Funny how it all goes around
[Chorus:]
If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you're at the top, then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces, but no one to call
Funny how it all goes around
If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you're at the top, then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces, but no one to call
Funny how it all goes around
If you look through a microscope at this messed up world
You would see every scratch, every flaw, every ounce of dirt
Your so-called friends you're leaning on, but all they do is take
You say it's fine, but deep inside you wish you could escape
Everything you ever wanted got you tied up in chains
Be careful how you play the game
Cause the same ones that shun you are the same ones that love you
The same words that break you are the same words that shape you
The same rules that bind you are the same rules that guide you
Funny how it all goes around
[Chorus:]
If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you're at the top, then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces, but no one to call
Funny how it all goes around
If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you're at the top, then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces, but no one to call
Funny how it all goes around
You keep on crying out
Don't let me hit the ground
Your soul is crying out
Don't let me hit the ground
You keep crying out, Lord
Don't let me hit the ground
Your soul is crying out
Don't let me hit the ground
[Chorus:]
If you lose your soul, then you lose it all
If you're at the top, then brace for the fall
Surrounded by faces, no one to call
Funny how it all goes around
If you lose your soul, then you lose it all
Surrounded by faces, but no one to call
If you're at the top, brace for the fall
Funny how, funny how it all goes around, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Don't let me hit the ground
You keep on crying out
Don't let me hit the ground
Funny how it all goes around
====================
"Art Of Letting You Go"
We were just little kids, we were ambiguous
My crush was serious, it's crazy how
As we were growing up, I could just set you up
But it just wasn't love, I guess it starts
Never a life for us, life just snuck up on us
You got a girlfriend and stuff, feelings are bottled up
Hide 'em in this song, took the key and locked it up
But when I see you again, no, I can't even pretend
[Chorus:]
It's always you I go back to; I know it's danger
It's always you my heart runs to, but I'm a stranger
Baby, what happened? What am I to do?
Wanna move on, but I'm scared of losing you
I can't seem to master the art of letting you go
No, I can't seem to master the art of letting you go
Try not to dwell on it, but sometimes I can't help it
So I paint pictures of it
Even when I was always on the road, I was always doing shows
Yeah, my life was never slow, don't you know?
Your love stayed in the back of my head
In a house full of a memories is where I lived
Right when I came home, oh no, there I go
Saw you again and I can't even pretend
[Chorus:]
It's always you I go back to; I know it's danger
It's always you my heart runs to, but I'm a stranger
Baby, what happened? What am I to do?
Wanna move on, but I'm scared of losing you
I can't seem to master the art of letting you go
No, I can't seem to master the art of letting you go
Not letting you go
It's just the art of letting you go
All of me, I give you everything
If you could only see how much you mean to me
I know you'll always me the one that stays with me, haunting me
And maybe I'll ever know just how to let you go
[Chorus:]
It's always you I go back to; I know it's danger
It's always you my heart runs to, but I'm a stranger
Baby, what happened? What am I to do?
Wanna move on, but I'm scared of losing you
I can't seem to master the art of letting you go
No, I can't seem to master the art of letting you go
I'm wishing that I could be happy with you
(Just the art of letting you go)
With you, with you, with you
==================
