Verse 1
Her and I exchanged ten thousand
Messages, I'm reading every page
My hands are shaking for reasons
I can't quite gague
Maybe it's all the events you
Made up in your head
Funny how your current narrative
Contradicts everything you said

PreChorus
Forever avoiding blame
Nothing ever changes
The story remains the same
It just rearranges

Chorus
Evil looks like a smile
She shows you while
Saying goodbye for the last time
Bewitch and beguile
Sweetness ain't her style
She's the devil in disguise's paradigm

Verse 2
Cheer up
Life doesn't just stop
Just because she's gone
But when my favorite show ends
I don't really care if the TV stays on

PreChorus
Forever avoiding blame
Nothing ever changes
The song remains the same
It just rearranges

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Nothing ever changes
The story remains the same
It just rearranges
(Evil lives in her smile)
Nothing ever changes 
The song remains the same
It just rearranges
(Evil lives in her smile)

Repeat Chorus

2nd Bridge
I still can't believe
I'm still bereaved
Ever since I watched you
Get up and leave 
I can't believe
I'm still bereaved
Ever since I watched you 
Get up and leave

Verse 3
Evil comes in many forms
Some aren't easy to see
Some hide in happy moments
Others get high behind an RV
To me, evil looks like a smile
Or it just looks like you
But spell evil in reverse and
You'll find what your smile 
Makes me do

Mamacita feeling

By Diana Olosho

These are my first lyrics with a male counterpart. At the beginning, it was just one part but I thought it will be nice to add someone else and see how it will come along. I wrote these lyrics because I love dancing and I want one day to learn dance styles with a partner such as tango and salsa. So, I thought why not write down, for now, how it would feel to learn for the first time and this is what I came up with.

There is You

By Katelyn Dodd

Relationships are not flawless, but it is important to appreciate those flaws among the kind-hearted actions that have drawn two souls together. 'There is You' acknowledges that things can be tough, while emphasizing highlights of behavior that allows the focus to be reinstated where it belongs, on unconditional love for another human.
