My progression from teenager to young adult hasn’t been without it’s troubles. This reflects in my poems and lyrics, and has been my biggest influence.

Broken Mind – music by Bruno Mars- Grenade Lyrics Jenna McCarthy-Sutton
Up & down, Round & round, Unsettled’s all you've ever been, Take, take, and take it all, I will watch you fall. Your raised my hopes, raised my dreams, Said that you'll be there, Said for me to turn to you, When no one else cared. (Bridge) Told you all I knew And the truth came spilling out, The truth came spilling out, Uncontrolled. You said it was our secret, & that you'll always keep it, But promises don't last.
(Chorus) My head is so confused from 'ya, My heart is frozen cold from 'ya, All my hate is made from 'ya, Poisoned memories all from 'ya. It was done with a blink of an eye, Every day I watched you slowly die, But you helped me to move on, No more crying.
Heartache, heartache, Is all you've ever known? Did you tell them all the details? Of why I had to go? Broken mind, lost your mind, Won't even admit it, Your bodies getting weaker, When the clock strikes every minute.
(Bridge) x 1 (Chorus) x 1
(Hook) If we went head to head You wouldn't stand a chance no more, I'ma win this, I'm so strong, And you, will burn, in my, hand made flames.
(Chorus) x 1
But still‌ My head is so confused from 'ya, My heart is frozen cold from 'ya, All my hate is made from 'ya, Poisoned memories all from 'ya...
Broken- Music by Mclean Lyrics by Jenna McCarthy-Sutton
I was so young when I met you Didn’t understand love But when your lips touched mine My heart went out. You said you’d always be there Shouldn’t say what you don’t mean So when you met that girl Oh it crushed me.
You were the first guy I kissed It shouldn’t have to be like this But it is now ... And I can’t forgive.
My heart you smashed, crumbling My whole body’s trembling Cant’ believe you’ve done this to me Baby I’m so
(Chorus) I’m so cut up inside Can’t even force a smile You left me broken. Like poison in a wound Don’t think I will pull through You left me broken.
So what do I do right now? I’ve lost my way Do you feel the same way I do? Do you even think about me to?
What you done to me is so cruel Don’t think I’ll be running back to you No, no, no.
I would never do you wrong I hope you hurt when you hear this song Can’t take the pain I wish it would go away, Oh please.
Ripping up them songs you wrote Burning all of them love notes One day you’ll feel the same as me Baby I’m so...
Chorus
(Hook) (Broken, Broken, Broken) Didn’t think I’d ever give my heart out so fast, (Broken, Broken, Broken) Every night I dream about the past, and I’m....
(Chorus) x 2
He’s A Gangsta – Music by Bashy- She’s A Gangsta Lyrics Jenna McCarthy-Sutton
He is crazy But still knows how to treat a lady And he breaks the rules Never catch him cause’ he’s no fool. And he, knows how to roll He’s in control, and my heart he’s stole
(Bridge) He’s dangerous (He’s what?) Dangerous Pull out a weapon and he don’t stress.
(Chorus) Cause he’s a gangsta (You know you can’t resist that look) He’s the one that’s flawless His middle names notorious Gangsta (Don’t turn your back or you’ll get shanked) He knows I’m really into him In love with the adrenalin Gangsta (You know he owns the streets he walks) Gangsta, (Hear the violence as he talks) Gangsta Oh he’s a gangsta.
I’ve been hypnotized He knows, he knows, he knows. And he is the one Don’t act like you don’t know. And he is powerful Don’t fool around, he owns the town.
(Bridge x 1) (Chorus x 1)
(Click) Ever taste the air that a gangsta breaths? Ever seen the blood that a gangsta leaves? You can see the truth behind their scars. Oh Oh, Ever taste the air that a gangsta breaths? On the news at 10 that’s where he’ll be, You can hear the gun shots late at night, that’s him.
(Chorus x 2)
Just Go Music by Mario- Before She Said Hi Lyrics by Jenna McCarthy-Sutton
Well I’m sick and tired of all your constant lies You have no respect for me And after all the times that you made me cry You don’t care how I feel. The flowers have died just like we have Boy I can’t do this no more Now you’re texting my girl behind my back Pack your bags and leave for good.
(Chorus) You’re so unfaithful But I won’t Shed a tear no Boy just please go. Then you told me It’s not true
But I think that, you should just go, Just go Just go Yes I caught you So just please go Go Go I don’t love you, any more.
I’m wishing you were a distant memory What you did was so cruel When I gave you all of my energy, yeah And you won’t admit the truth. Seeing•you and her always together Boy you must think I'm so dumb And you think that I will cry forever Well I’ve left with your best friend.
(Chorus) You’re so unfaithful But I won’t Shed a tear no Boy just please go. Then you told me It’s not true But I think that, you should just go Just go Just go Yes I caught you So just please go Go Go I don’t love you, any more.
Well I guess me and you We were never meant to be Thinking about all the things you’ve done The bad way you that you•treated me. Cheap presents from the 99 shop You aren’t worth the tears Haven’t got no car, no money, and a wasted job. Now you expect me to ring you Every day like I need to I used to love you, But now I just pity you, When you heard I was with your best friend, Now tell me who’s the fool? (Chorus) x 1
On My Feet Music by Alicia Keys - Doesn’t Mean Anything Lyrics by Jenna McCarthy-Sutton
No Body ever thought I’d get this far They were full of doubt But I proved them wrong and I’m shining like a star I am stronger, I just sit back and laugh, haters. I battled through the slums to get where I am today And I lost my way But then my luck came And now I am Ok Yeah I’m stronger, because I’ve been betrayed. (Chorus) Haters crowd, to watch me fall down But now I’m steady on my feet You can turn around. From above, they watched me fall down But now I’m steady on my feet I think I’ve won.
A strong woman before I became a girl It’s a tough world And I saw things that really cut and hurt But I’m stronger, came out from the dirt Proud of myself, yes I’m proud of myself.
(Chorus) x 1
(Hook) I know that I got beat down And people stood back and watched me get broken But now I’m flying so high And nobody has helped me get by.
(Chorus) x 1

Take Your Name Music by Mclean Take My Name Lyrics Jenna McCarthy-Sutton My heart was tossed around and waiting to be fixed To be filled with warmth and sealed with a kiss Although people came along and played with it You picked me up and showed how to relive. (Bridge) You took my pain away And now it’s love I gain I will show you respect always. And no matter what Trouble people may bring I’ll be remembering that. (Chorus) You got me flying so incredibly high Never felt this way You took my soul and set it free, resting on cloud nine Hey I wanna take your name Your name Your name Hey I wanna take your name Your name Your name I wanna take your… You was there for me when everyone backed down You showed me things that really turned my life around And even when I thought that I had lost my faith You held my hand and showed me the right way.
(Bridge) You took my pain away And now it’s love I gain I will show you respect always. And no matter what Trouble people may bring I’ll be remembering that.

Lyrics Maarly McCarthy
Well I know I’ve messed things up But I just want to talk to you I know I’ve told you lies But I just want to tell the truth. Want to tell you how I’m sorry I didn’t mean knock you down Or get hurt I wish things were so different I treated you like dirt But wait… (Chorus) It might be too late to apologise But baby I just want to apologise Hear me out.
Instrumental. (Chorus) It might be too late to apologise But baby I just want to apologise Hear me out
Your heart is crumbled up like a jigsaw in my hand The pieces are so messy trying to understand what I’ve done Seen you crumble bad when you started to come around Your calls I never answered You started to wonder then But you thought My baby loves me too much But then you went and caught me out Now I’m afraid, that… (Chorus) It might be too late to apologise But baby I just want to apologise Hear me out I think it’s too late to apologise I think it’s too late You’re telling me not to apologise I’m I’m sitting here alone Wanting for you to come home .sorry
