The album for my life at this moment

So, I have found my Life-After-Chad album (which in no way indicates that I don’t hope with everything in me that there will be a Life-After-Chad-Returns album later). It just came out, so we never heard the songs together—it is all Brandon discovered. And it has the perfect mix of mostly poppy dancey (dancy?) songs that let me sort gig as I walk the dogs and feel all woman-powered and shit, and just a few slow sappy songs to let me gt a little teary and shout, ‘Damn Right, you sing it girl!” So, while I didn’t love her first album, Jordin Spark’s second album is pure gold. And, of course, here are the two songs that seem to be my Chad and Brandon anthems.

Was I the Only One

When you told me that I was a star in the sky,

Baby I believed every word.

And you seemed so sincere,

It was perfectly clear,

Cause forever was all that I heard.

And every little kiss,

From your tender lips,

Couldn't of been a lie.

I fell heart over head,

Without a safety net,

And I don't understand this goodbye.

Was I the only one who fell in love?

(Was) There never really [] the two of us.

And maybe my all just wasn't good enough.

Was I the only one, only one, in love?

As I walk down the hall,

See the place on the wall,

Where the picture of us used to be.

I fight back those tears, cause I still feel you here.

How could you walk out so easily?

And I don't understand, how I can feel this pain, and still be alive.

And all these broken dreams,

And all these memories,

Are killing me inside.

Was I the only one who fell in love?

(Was) There never really [] the two of us.

And maybe my all just wasn't good enough.

Was I the only one, only one,

Tell me, what I'm supposed to do with all this love?

Baby, it was supposed to be the two of us.

Help me, cause I still don't want to believe.

I was the only one.

I was the only one.

I the only one who fell in love.

(Was) There never really [] the two of us.

And maybe my all just wasn't good enough.

I the only one, the only one.

I the only one who fell in love.

(Was) There never really [] the two of us.

And maybe my all just wasn't good enough.

Was I the only one, the only one, in love?

When you told me that I was a star in the sky,

Baby I believed every word

And:

No Parade

I'm already looking back

I'm already looking around

Where did we get off the track

What was it that brought us down

I'm already waking up

How I've been asleep too long

Losing you is hard enough

Not knowing anything was wrong

Changes come but where they go?

You'll never know

Just another day like any other

Nothing in the sky said run for cover

Just another reason never thought it would end this way

There was no parade

No lights flashing

No songs to sing along the way

There was no parade

The years were supposed to last

You were never supposed to be

Just somebody in the past

Somebody I used to see

Trouble crept up all nights

Warning never came in time

Before I knew it we were dust

Just left behind, left behind

Changes come but where they go?

You'll never know

Just another day like any other

Nothing in the sky said run for cover

Just another reason never thought it would end this way

There was no parade

No lights flashing

No songs to sing along the way

There was no parade

No waves crashing

There was no one else around for days

There was no parade

After all the losing never hurt than last goodbye

It was sudden as butterflies

There was no parade

No lights flashing

No songs to sing along the way

There was no parade

No waves crashing

There was no one else around for days

There was no parade
