After The Rain
written by: Rachel Shortt
She loves the way it smells in Ohio after the rain
She loves her family and her friends but, she can't stand the pain
So she keeps walking even though her feet are sore
Her hands are dirty and her jeans are torn
She just keeps going, She going to show them all
She loves the way New York looks in the fall
She loves the city lights, all the people
and she can hear the call
So she keeps walking even though her feet are sore
her hands are bleeding and her jeans are torn
she just keeps going, she's got everything to prove
A little town in Tennessee and she can feel the stare
But their eyes don't pierce her
She never really cared
So she keeps walking even though her feet are sore
her hands are bleeding and her jeans are torn
she just keeps going, she's got everything to prove
She loves the way it smells in Ohio after the rain
She will always love her family and her friends but, she can't stand the pain... No
So she keeps walking even though her soul's worn thin
Her hands are bleeding and her knees are skinned
She just keeps going, She's going to show them all

April's Fool
Written By: Rachel Shortt
It's not easy coming to the realization, that I might have to let you go
It's not easy coming to the realization, That I might be better off alone
Humming
It's not easy watching you slip away with her, It's not easy, knowing your not mine
It's not easy watching walk away with her, It's not easy, out on this line
Humming
It's not easy letting go of something so beautiful, it's not easy to set you free of my love
No, it's not easy moving up and out and on with this
It's not easy letting this go
Humming
It's not easy coming to the realization, that I might have to let you go
It's not easy coming to the realization, That I might be better off alone

Woe
Written By: Rachel Shortt
Maybe
It was my fault this time
Maybe
I’m the one to blame
But baby
You can’t say I never tried
And I’m Sorry
That it ended this way
Yeah lately
There’s nowhere to hide
Love is empty
Drifting Away
And baby
I’m hurting inside, inside
Please know that
This isn’t easy to say
Baby this is
my confession
It’s not easy
To watch you slip away
I’m just trying to
Scrub myself clean now
And I’m Sorry
That it ended this way, this way
Maybe I’m like a broken record of emotion
Skipping back and forth throughout time
Between my elation and devotion
Maybe it seems like I
Can’t stay in one place
Just know that you always
Know that you always will
Have a piece of my heart
And maybe
It was my fault this time
Since when is being human a crime
Yeah since when is
Being human
A crime

The Romantic I Once Was

Well, maybe I'm not the romantic I once was but, I'll tell you baby this isn't just because
There are plenty of things in this world left to do but, none of them could make me happier than you
Nothing compares, nothing compares...
I'm so far from centered and I'm sick of going on benders
My heart is broken, tender, and blue
I'm messed up and jaded but, you make me feel elated
No, nothing compares to my love for you
Nothing compares, Nothing compares...
Well, I've been a fool for love and I've worn my heart on my sleeve
I've done things for love you couldn't possibly believe
I've taken love's blows and I keep coming back for more
I've been the sinner, the saint, the lover and the whore
Nothing compares, nothing compares...
Well, maybe I'm not the romantic I once was but, I'll tell you baby this isn't just because
There are plenty of things in this world left to do but, none of them could make me happier than you
No, none of it could make me happier than you
Nothing compares, nothing compares, nothing compares...

Reflections of Love
Written By: Rachel Shortt
(Verse)
Every time that you look at me to tell me I'm amazing
It's only because you see the reflection of yourself in my eyes
Every time that your voice rings out, to tell me that you love me
You don't know it but the words you speak have changed my life
(Humming a tune of gratitude)
(Verse)
You know I meant it when I told you that I wanted the world to know
You are my heart, my life, my love, my passion, my soul
It may have taken me a little while to put it down in this song
Now that I have found my rhythm, I won't stop until your singing along
(Humming a tune of gratitude)
(Verse)
Yes every time that you here this sound, I hope you can be proud of me
'Cause you know that my rhythm is the reflection of my life
Yes every time that you hear this song I hope you can be proud of me
And know that the way you've touched me saved my life
(Continues Humming a tune of gratitude)
Yes, Every time that you look at me to tell me I'm amazing
It's only because you see the reflection of yourself in my eyes
