Beside You
Written by Levi Kreis & Austin Hanks
Life was good
Things were fine
Till the storm came
And tore your house down
Till all you believed in
Crumbled to the ground
And sorting through the rubble
You can't salvage any sign
Of truest love existing
To stand the test of time
I know it makes you sad
I know it hurts so bad
And I may not know the words to say
There may not be an easy way
But I wanna be the one to stay
Beside you
I may not know the how our whys
But baby I'll be on your side
Just reach for me and I'll right
Beside you
Words are frail
Hard to hold
When the meaning
Is never behind them
And your tired heart
Is too weak to listen
Well friend if you can hear me
I want to prove to you
That I will be a tower
Baby I will shelter you
You know it makes me sad
To see you hurt so bad
And I may not know the words to say
There may not be an easy way
But I wanna be the one to stay
Beside you
I may not know the how our whys
But baby I'll be on your side
Just reach for me and I'll right
Beside you
Well friend if you can hear me
I want to prove to you
That I will be a tower
Baby I will shelter you
You know it makes me sad
To see you hurt so bad
And I may not know the words to say
There may not be an easy way
But I wanna be the one to stay
Beside you
Beside you
I"m hear beside you

The Word Goodbye
Written by Jonathan Watkins
I don't wanna go through this
I've already made a plan
To never fall in love in life again
You may never understand
This could be a big mistake
And before we go to far
I have to say
I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
I'd rather be anything
Than being without you
I'd rather be a loser
I'd rather not try
So I'm doing everything I know to do
To never have to say the word goodbye
I know I should take the chance
Give myself just one more try
And see if you're the answer to my dreams
But it's too hard to feel again
I think I forgotten how
And the walls I've built will not be broken down.
So I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
I'd rather be anything
Than being without you
I'd rather be a loser
I'd rather not try
So I'm doing everything I know to do
To never have to say the word goodbye
Cause goodbyes are never easy
And I've had enough
See I don't wanna live without your love
So I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
I'd rather be anything
Than being without you
See, I'd rather be a loser
I'd rather not try
So if I never fall in love with you
It's the only thing I know to do
To never be the one to say
The word goodbye

I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend
Written by Tonya Watts & James Dean Hicks
I gave you a shoulder to cry on
When you were all alone
And no one was around to love you
I gave you everything
Why can't you give me anything
Don't you know how much I looked up to you
All your broken promises you made
Finally gave me the strength to say
I don't wanna be your friend
Another day broken-hearted
I'm so tired of hearing you say I'm sorry
I don't wanna close that door
This isn't how we started
You said you'd always be there
Till the very end
I don't wanna be your friend
You slapped me in the face
You kicked me down and walked away
And all I wanted was for you to love me
All your lies that I believed
You are as selfish as you seem
Do you even know the ways you've hurt me
We used to laugh but now I cry
It's time we both say goodbye
I don't wanna be your friend
Another day broken-hearted
I'm so tired of hearing you say I'm sorry
I don't wanna close that door
This isn't how we started
You said you'd always be there
Till the very end
Damn you, you never loved me
I begged, I kicked, I've screamed
But you'd rather die than see
I don't wanna be your friend
Another day broken-hearted
I'm so tired of hearing you say I'm sorry
I don't wanna close that door
This isn't how we started
You said you'd always be there
Till the very end
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be your friend

If I Can't Let Go
Written by Jonathan Watkins
I want to make this one the perfect romance
In the face of forever, I think we have a chance
But it happens each time I put myself on the line
Don't wanna lose my faith in you
I don't know what to do
Cause I just can't let go anymore
My heart has had enough
I just can't lay down
And forget about this love
The harder I try to hold on
The more I'm pushing you away
It's something I have to do
It's you that I stand to lose
If I can't let go
I have a vision that you are the right one for me
And if that's true I know I gotta be free
So I'm saying a prayer
That you will be there
Will love see us through
Will I be with you
Cause I just can't let go anymore
My heart has had enough
I just can't lay down
And forget about this love
The harder I try to hold on
The more I'm pushing you away
It's something I have to do
It's you that I stand to lose
I've never been this close
To letting all my fears subside
As I'm here with you
Baby I'm trying to
But I just can't let go anymore
My heart has had enough
I just can't lay down
And forget about this love
The harder I try to hold on
The more I'm pushing you away
It's something I have to do
It's you that I stand to lose
If I can't let go
If I can't let go

Make Believe

Make Believe
Written by Levi Kreis, Darci Monet, & Matthew Hayes
You have the truest smile
And your eyes are the deepest ocean
Your body drives me wild
So much that I can't help knowing
You are the kind of girl
That I would give my heart to
And never look over my shoulder
Then again the truth sets in
And I find that I stand here broken
You never speak my name
You may not even know it
Every time that you pass my way
It seems my soul is dying
Over and over and over
Somewhere inside I realize
You're the girl that I'll never know
Though I'd give you my heart and soul
But I guess that it's not meant to be
So I'll go on living in make believe
Wish I could make you see
All the things that you've been missing
Show you how it feels to be
With a man who needs your kisses
If I had just one chance
Then maybe you would notice
How patiently I have been waiting
To be the reason you smile
You're the girl that I'll never know
Though I'd give you my heart and soul
But I guess that it's not meant to be
So I'll go on living in make believe
If I had just one chance
Then maybe you would notice
I've been here, I've been waiting
Wanna be the reason you smile
You're the girl that I'll never know
Though I'd give you my heart and soul
But I guess that it's not meant to be
So I'll go on
Yes I'll go on
Yes I'll go on
Living in make believe

Handcuff My Soul

Handcuff My Soul
Written by Tonya Watts
Handcuff my soul to a cross
Cause according to them I am lost
That's okay cause I know truth
It's not what they taught me in my youth
If only this peace will last
I wouldn't fall away so fast
I won't let it get me down
Cause God loves me for who I am
Dusting off my Bible and now it's clean
No longer thirsty if you know what I mean
I'm drinking the words and my heart's drunk
Beautiful insights are taming my tongue
If only this peace will last
I wouldn't fall away so fast
I won't let it get me down
Cause God loves me for who I am
The story ends and it's all good
The message of love understood
If only this peace will last
I wouldn't fall away so fast
I won't let it get me down
Cause God loves me for who I am

Hello

Hello
Written by Tonya Watts and Kevin Fisher
Sometimes I see things no one else can
Something I say things that I don't understand
Feels like I'm screaming in the middle of a crowded room
No one looks up, no one cares, no one even moves
And I'm all by myself.
Is there anybody out there
Who feels the way I do
All alone, nowhere to run
And no one to talk to
Is there anybody out there
Sending you a prayer
Cause if you feel the way I do
You need to know that someone cares
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Hello, hello hello
I am ashamed of my past regrets
Sometimes I smoke more than cigarettes
Feels like I'm running, but my feet never touch the ground
Stuck in sin with so called friends knocking me down
And I'm all by myself
Is there anybody out there
Who feels the way I do
All alone, nowhere to run
And no one to talk to
Is there anybody out there
Sending you a prayer
Cause if you feel the way I do
You need to know that someone cares
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Hello, hello hello
And I'm all by myself
Is there anybody out there
Who feels the way I do
All alone, nowhere to run
And no one to talk to
Is there anybody out there
Sending you a prayer
Cause if you feel the way I do
You need to know that someone cares
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello

Gabrielle
Written by Levi Kreis
Gabrielle
Was Monday morning just another crazy high
Or the way we felt at ease make inhibitions fly
Somewhere away
Gabrielle
Was the novelty of you and me what reeled you in
Or the serotonin nudging you into my skin
Until we came
And it's just fine
Yeah, It's great with me
It was exactly what it was meant to be
So I keep a piece of you right here with me
Gabrielle
Now the sun is burning hot against the window pain
I grab a napkin, write some scribbles and a name
Then I say goodbye
Gabrielle
If you run to find me or never pick up the phone
Just one night was more than I believe I've ever known
Cause I feel so alive
And it's just fine
Yeah, it's great with me
It was exactly what it was meant to be
So I keep a piece of you right here with me
Gabrielle
I'll keep a piece of you forever here with me
Gabrielle

Written by Levi Kreis
Your waters run so deep so clear
It's refreshing to find someone
Who could cool my thirst
It's been so good to have an ear
Who could here all the tears I cry
And understand the hurt
It's been a hard road
So glad to find a friend
But what I can see
If you're telling me
The romance stumbled in along the way
Maybe it's time to say
Baby that's more than what I got
I'm afraid I've led you on
Baby that's more than what I got
You're beautiful but I can't be the one
Now I don't want to steal your smile
When I know all you're looking for
Is to give your heart
But maybe we should take a little while
To allow things to cool way way down
Before it goes to far
You've had a hard road
So glad to be a friend
But I'll never see why you're wanting me
To try to go where I don't wanna go
By now you oughta know
Baby that's more than what I got
I'm afraid I've led you on
Baby that's more than what I got
You're beautiful but I can't be the one
You've had a hard hard road
So glad to be a friend
But I'll never see why you're wanting me
To try to go where I don't wanna go
By now you oughta know
Baby that's more than what I got
I'm afraid I've led you on
Baby that's more than what I got
You're beautiful but I can't be the one
You're beautiful but I can't be the one

Levi Kreis Nashville, Tennessee
I"m a singer and songwriter from East Tenessee. Since my debut album in 2005, I've explored a myriad of genres from piano pop to rock to Americana soul. I'm most at home when it feels a bit gospel, a bit country and a bit poppy. You'll usually find my lyrics explore personal growth and I'm not afraid to be vulnerable with you. Thanks for being here. It's good to meet you. ... more
