## Lyrics

**Nick:**

With her wine-stained lips

Yeah, she nothing but trouble

Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil

I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul

She takes 'til I break and I can't get more

You got me in chains

You got me in chains for your love

But I wouldn't change

No, I wouldn't change this love

You got me in chains

You got me in chains for your love

But I wouldn't change

No, I wouldn't change this love

Tryna break the chains

But the chains only break me

Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey

Tryna break the chains

But the chains only break me

Alone in the night 'til she knocks on my door

Oh no, wasted again but I can't say no (no)

Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong

Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong

Gave you my heart but you took my soul

You got me in chains

You got me in chains for your love

But I wouldn't change

No, I wouldn't change this love

You got me in chains

You got me in chains for your love

But I wouldn't change

No, I wouldn't change this love

Tryna break the chains

But the chains only break me

Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey

Tryna break the chains

But the chains only break me

D-o-o-o-o-o-on

D-o-o-o-o-o-on

D-o-o-o-o-o-on

Hey-ey-ey-ey

You got me in...

Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong

Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong

Gave you my heart but you took my soul

You got me in chains

You got me in chains for your love

But I wouldn't change

No, I wouldn't change this love

You got me in chains

Oohh, baby, you got me in chains for your love

But I wouldn't change

Ooh, I wouldn't change this love

Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me

## Lyrics

**Amity:**

I miss those blue eyes

How you kiss me at night

I miss the way we sleep

Like there's no sunrise

Like the taste of your smile

I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you

What I should have said

No, I never told you

I just held it in

And now I miss everything about you

I can't believe it, I still want you

After all the things we've been through

I miss everything about you

Without you, whoa...

I see your blue eyes

Every time I close mine

You make it hard to see

Where I belong to

When I'm not around you

It's like I'm not with me

But I never told you

What I should have said

No, I never told you

I just held it in

And now I miss everything about you

(Still you're gone)

I can't believe it, I still want you

(And I'm lovin' you, I never should have walked away)

After all the things we've been through

(I know it's never gonna come again)

I miss everything about you

Without you, whoa...

But I never told you

What I should have said

No I never told you

I just held it in

And now I miss everything about you

(Still you're gone)

Can't believe it, I still want you

(And I'm lovin' you, I never should have walked away)

After all the things we've been through

(I know it’s never gonna come again)

After he leaves, Julie stays in the recording studio by herself and reflects on what has happened. She goes onto Facebook and thinks about sending Ryder a message explaining what has happened but decides not to, feeling that there is no room for her in Ryder's family.

She considers going to Ryder and saying all she should say, but ultimately goes upstairs and decides there's a better way. She chooses to write it all in a song and tell him in Spring Break.

## Lyrics

**Julie:**

There's still a little bit of your taste

In my mouth

There's still a little bit of you laced

With my doubt

It's still a little hard to say

What's going on

There's still a little bit of your ghost

Your witness

There's still a little bit of your face

I haven't kissed

You step a little closer each day

That I can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to lie

Life taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannonball

There's still a little bit of your song

In my ear

There's still a little bit of your words

I long to hear

You step a little closer to me

So close I can't see what's going on

Whoa

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to cry

So come on courage

Teach me to be shy

Cause it's not hard to fall

And I don't want to scare him

It's not hard to fall

And I don't wanna lose

It's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannonball

Hard Work

**Hard Work** by *Ella Henderson* is featured in Don't Worry, It Gets Worse, the seventy-fourth chapter of Push to the Limit. It is sung by Julie.

Julie decides to use her troubles with Alex and Caleb to write a good song about heartbreak. However, when she tries to write something angry or sad, she is unable too, feeling nothing negative towards anyone but herself.

Later, Kitty comes to check on her and she has finished her song, which she has written over Alex. The song, they both realize, proves that Julie is not done with Alex and still wants to try to be with him. After singing it, Julie decides to give Alex a call but he ignores it.

## Lyrics

**Julie:**

Now I’m not talking from experience

But I think I’ve found magnificence

And at the end of the day

You can be hard work but you’re good for me

And though you seem to make my body ache

It’s a feeling I appreciate

Which makes it easier when

You can be hard work but you’re good for me

This time I know I won’t be proved wrong

This time to win you gotta lose some

Sometimes I just wanna give you up right away

But then you go and brighten up my day

I know I’m not wasting my time

For you to be the reason I cry

And no I’m not gonna lie

You’re hard work but you’re good for me

And you’re the one that’s by my side

When I’m going out of my mind

But ninety nine per cent of the time

You’re hard work but you’re good for me

And when I’m losing all my energy

You’re like my only working remedy

And when I struggle to breathe

Its ‘cause your hard work but you’re good for me

And when I start to feel I’ve had enough

And my head is feeling kind of rough

And even thinking is tough

When you’re hard work but you’re good for me

This high is a feeling that I’m fixed on

I knew it was worth it in the long run

‘Cause somehow everything has fell into place

And you can tell by the smile on my face

I know I’m not wasting my time

For you to be the reason I cry

And no I’m not gonna lie

You’re hard work but you’re good for me

And you’re the one that’s by my side

When I’m going out of my mind

But ninety nine per cent of the time

You’re hard work but you’re good for me

Mmm, hard work

Mmm, hard work

Mmm, you’re hard work but you’re good for me

Mmm, hard work

Mmm, hard work

Mmm, you’re hard work but you’re good for me

But I’m not running away, no

A little bit of love is all it takes

I know I’m not wasting my time

For you to be the reason I cry

And no I’m not gonna lie

You’re hard work but you’re good for me

And you’re the one to be by my side

When I’m going out of my mind

But ninety nine per cent of the time

You’re hard work but you’re good for me

Mmm, hard work

Mmm, hard work

Mmm, you’re hard work but you’re good for me

Mmm, hard work

Mmm, hard work

Mmm, you’re hard work but you’re good for me

Amity asks Bree about her changed attitude and shows concern for her but Bree is frustrated and does not want anyone judging her. Angry, she tells Amity that Alex lies to her and still smokes behind the bleachers at school.

Amity confronts Alex about his lies and he admits that he hasn't been honest. Though he tries to apologize, she tells him that her father died of lung cancer and she does not like smoking because of it. She breaks up with him and sings "Too Little Too Late" as she goes home and tries to stop thinking about it. She can't eat, talk or sleep, however, wondering how the others got over their heartbreak so easily. The next day she returns to school and does her best to avoid Alex.

## Lyrics

**Amity:**

Come with me

Stay the night

You say the words but boy it don't feel right

What do ya expect me to say

You know it's just too little too late

You take my hand

And you say you've changed

But boy you know your begging don't fool me

Because to you it's just a game

You know it's just too little too late

So let me on down

'Cause time has made me strong

I'm starting to move on

I'm gonna say this now

Your chance has come and gone

And you know...

It's just too little too late

a little too wrong

And I can't wait

But you know all the right things to say

You know it's just too little too late

You say you dream of my face

But you don't like me

You just like the chase

To be real

It doesn't matter anyway

You know it's just too little too late

Yeah yeaaahhh

It's just too little too late

Mhmmm

I was young

And in love

I gave you everything

But it wasn't enough

And now you wanna communicate

You know it's just too little too late

Go find someone else

In letting you go

I'm loving myself

You got a problem

But don't come asking me for help

'Cause you know...

It's just too little too late

a little too wrong

And I can't wait

But you know all the right things to say

You know it's just too little too late

You say you dream of my face

But you don't like me

You just like the chase

To be real

It doesn't matter anyway

You know it's just too little too late

I can love with all of my heart, baby

I know I have so much to give

I have so much to give

With a player like you I don't have a prayer

That's no way to live

Ohhhh... mmm nooo

It's just too little too late

Yeaahhhh...

It's just too little too late

a little too wrong

And I can't wait

But you know all the right things to say

You know it's just too little too late

You say you dream of my face

But you don't like me

You just like the chase

To be real

It doesn't matter anyway

You know it's just too little too late

Yeah

You know it's just too little too late

Oh, I can't wait

It's just too little too late

A little too wrong

And I can't wait

But you know all the right things to say

You know it's just too little too late

You say you dream of my face

But you don't like me

You just like the chase

To be real

It doesn't matter anyway

You know it's just too little too late
