Ashley Michelle Tisdale (born July 2, 1985) is an American actress and singer who rose to prominence portraying the candy-counter girl Maddie Fitzpatrick in Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and the female antagonist Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical film series. The High School Musical series became a successful franchise which included two television films, a feature movie, a spin-off and numerous soundtrack albums. The popularity earned by Tisdale in High School Musical led her to sign a solo record deal with Warner Bros. Records in 2006. Her debut album Headstrong, was released in February 2007, and debuted at number five in the U.S. chart and sold 64,000 copies in the first week. It was later certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. A second studio album, Guilty Pleasure, was released in 2009.
Tisdale owns a production company and has worked as an executive producer in movies which included the ABC Family television film Picture This. Tisdale has a prominent voice role as Candace Flynn in Disney Channel's Phineas & Ferb, a cartoon which became television's most-watched animated series among kids and tweens and had been met with acclaim by critics. In 2009, she was cast in her first major broadcast role in The CW's television series Hellcats as Savannah Monroe, an intense and very religious cheerleader.
Ashley, are you running around
Are you crying out bloody in murder?
Ashley, are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder
You used to dangle my heart with your puppet strings
You dangled your desires right in front of my face
You led me to the well but wouldn't let me drink
Swallowing my pride and I never even got the taste
But time comes around and I'm not so naïve
I've finally lost touch 'cause you're so out of reach
You say that you're fine but I know that you ain't
You're looking like hell and you're no fucking saint
Ashley, are you running around
Are you crying out bloody in murder?
Ashley, are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder
You are where you are
A wish on a shooting star
You are a filthy thought in my memory
I taste the cigarettes and liquor on your breath
We used to call it speed but now it's crystal meth
Back when I loved you but you're scaring me to death
This careless memory and now I could care less
But time comes around and I'm not so naïve
I've finally lost touch 'cause you're so out of reach
You say that you're fine but I know that you ain't
You're looking like hell and you're no fucking saint
Ashley, are you running around
Are you crying out bloody in murder?
Ashley, are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder
Ashley, are you running around
Are you crying out bloody in murder?
Ashley, are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder

My time with me
My time with me
Ba-by u see
Cuz my time with me
My time with me
Ohhh ba-by
Cuz i like my mind blank before my page
U can tell me wat to do
Cuz im with u ba-by
Cuz my time with me
Cuz my time with me
Is just the day x2
I dont see the smile you used to give to me
I dont see the same in your eyes
I dont know what is happening to us
I'm losing you forever so fast
It's time to let the pieces of a broken heart
There's no mending, there's no brand new start
Oh maybe why we have to face the truth
I'm losing you and theres nothing I can do
CHORUS:
(maybe) its time to let go, a time to move on
(maybe) its time to forget what we have shared
Isn't easy for you
(I cant find my life) in getting over all the days
we used to say "I love You"
Tomorrow is the lonely day that I must face
To start and get back on my feet would be a waste
Oh how can I true live without your love
My life without you is not a life at all
[Repeat CHORUS]
Bridge:
There'll be many questions (many Questions)
lifted in my mind
I cant find the answers by oh by
but I know it is true, it is time to let go
Ashaloo, I've been thinking 'bout you
Little sister been on my mind
Heard you're practicing rebel tactics
You got a lot of me in those eyes
Been a cheat, stolen meat, lied about it later
I kicked a girl - a bitch, a brat named Yolanda Fagin
Don't be like me
Don't be like me - rock on
Killed a bat, skinned a cat, stuffed 'em in a crate
I've hurt some people on the way to being nothing great
Don't be like me
Don't be like me - rock on
Little girl she went to a party
She wore her princess dress and wand
But she forgot to put on her panties - sad, lonely one
Broke in the trailer 'cause someone said so
No sir, I had no idea they were gone
They said a nice policeman brought you home, whoa, oh, oh
Ashley girl, I've been thinking 'bout you
I know you mean well, it just comes out wrong
You brought home a groundhog half dead
Thank god he didn't stink for long
Christened the scooter 'fore someone said so
You fell off in the neighbors flowers
They thought that you had planned it all
Door to door Halloween they caught you
You thought you had done nothing wrong
You were dressed as a hooker all night long
Why don't you look like me
Why don't you look like me
Why don't you look like me
Why don't you look like me
Why don't you look like me
Why don't you look like me
I'm talkin' bout love
All my girls stand in a circle and clap your hands this is for you
Ups and downs highs and lows no matter what you see me through
My boyfriend he don't answer on the telephone
I don't even know where the hell he goes
But all my girls we're in a circle and nobody's gonna break through

And I, I wouldn't trade it for the world, world, world
And I, Just so fucking lucky you're my girl, girl, girl
And I, I wouldn't trade it for anything
No, no, no not anything
And you
Yeah, I got a brand new Benz
Crazy right, brand new Benz
Got less miles on it than I do friends
Remember when we laid at you and Paige's crib
Was there so long I coulda paid rent
Remember when we couldn't get shit?
Best thing bout being broke is you don't spend shit
Remember that Christmas? We had a wish list
We couldn't afford nothin' but we still get shit
Ironically those were the times I felt the richest
All those times that we spent by the pool girl
Was too broke to even take you to the zoo girl
Maybe its because I had you girl
Was thinking about when we went to London and Paris
And gave each other times that we cherished
Remember when you saw the Eiffel Tower
And you got so drunk threw up? Yup you were so embarrassed
See those are times I can't let go, I can't let go
Man I hate to see you single in the club looking for kisses and hugs
So you Sipping on XO til I snatch you up like “let's go”
My bad for those long long nights, long nights when I left you in the sheets
Sorry for when you had to cry yourself to sleep
Tried to count on me and I made you count sheep
Sorry when you put your faith in me I was unfaithful, disgraceful, distasteful
Yeah I know you're not supposed to hate cake and eat too
Crazy how these hoes always kept my plate full
What about the emails you hacked in?
I know we hate to live in the past-tense
It's been weird since I went out west and did an album with No I.D
And ain't came back since
Now we the best in the city, I rep for the city
That's about the time that you left for the city
You and all your girls moved to NY,
I shoulda' known now how you watch Sex And The City
I know we ain't close but, I gotta focus on blowing up
I know I promised that I'd be there, and really did I ever show up?
I know I wasn't honest to ya girl
Almost broke every promise to ya girl
Brought problems to your world
And you said “how could you just lie to me? I thought you'd die for me?”
I was scared you'd find somebody who would treat you like you supposed to
You the type niggas get close to, get close to, and then propose to
And when Thanksgiving come around,
I ain't tryna bring hoes through to momma
So it's back to the drama,
“No I don't know that number”
“Why the hell you text it?”
Heartbreak hotel man, with no exit just checked in
Young and living reckless
Can't nobody do it like you do it, like you do it, like you do it, like you
I can't imagine myself without you
I need a whole lot of help without you
Me and my granny both agreed
Shadows fall on yesterday,
its like time just slips away.
I'm nothing, when darkness follows me.
The dawn, it never shows its head.
I'm left dying here instead with nothing,
a lock without a key.
Like the brightest star you shine through. Ashley, baby, you make me
feel so alive.
I've got purpose once again.
Yeah, yeah.
Ashley, baby, you make me feel so alive.
I've got purpose once again.
Yeah, yeah.
(I've got purpose once again.)
If looks could kill you'd be the one,
that takes my world and makes me numb.
I'm nothing, without you i cant breathe.
(I can't breathe.)
And as the sunlight burns the sky,
I see through my obsessive eyes.
I'm nothing, without you i cant see.
Like the brightest star you shine through.
Ashley, baby, you make me feel so alive.
I've got purpose once again.
Yeah, yeah.
Ashley, baby, you make me feel so alive.
I've got purpose once again.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
You're the strength i need to fight,
You're the reason i still try.
I'm the moth and you're the light.
Use these wings so i can fly,
I can fly.
Ashley, baby, you make me feel so alive.
I've got purpose once again.
Yeah, yeah.
Ashley, baby, you make me feel so alive.
I've got purpose once again.
Yeah, yeah.
Ashley, baby, you make me feel so alive.
I've got purpose once again.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I've got purpose once again.
Take my hand and lead me out
To Dolores
And leave me out in the street, I guess
It was for us
What are you thinking of, Ashley?
Who are you dreaming of, Ashley?
You come down from above, Ashley
You let me sleep and let me breathe
Where I need to
And fool my heart to think that I
Might have had you
What are you thinking of, Ashley?
Who are you dreaming of, Ashley?
You come down from above, Ashley
Take this hammer-handed heart
And pull it off my back
Heavy on my shoulders
Stranded in the open sea
I wait there hoping that
You'll come back to see me
Ashley
I'll stand in the gap for you
I'll sing 'till my throat is sore
I'll pray until there's prayers no more
Our ships passed in the night
Now I've a burden I can't fight
I'll carry it 'till my shoulders break
This prayer I can't forsake
CHORUS:
Ashley
I'll stand in the gap for you
I'll sing 'till my throat is sore
I'll pray until there's prayers no more
Oh Lord, you can use me
Oh please, let her see you through me
Enable me to do what I can
To show her a Godly man
BRIDGE:
Yes Lord, please use me
To make her precious heart see
What her pretty eyes don't see
Yes Lord, please use me
To make her precious heart see
What her pretty eyes don't see
END:
Ashley
I'll stand in the gap for you--praying
Ashley
I'll stand in the gap for you
Vers. 1
I was driving home on Friday when the motion caught my ear
In a field the crowd gathering I could hear them yell and cheer
Tell me why are you excitied? I asked a certain man he said there ain't no better reason---I'm a football fan
Vers. 2
So I drove a little farther I saw another crowd, they were dancing they were swaying. I heard music playing loud, I asked again why so excitied, I just don't understand, someone said man you're not with it were just rock music fans
Vers. 3
So I went to church that sunday I heard the precher say Jesus gave his life to save us and he's coming back again someday so I started getting happy. How I shouted how I cried, someone said don't get excitied this was my reply
Chors. Repeat 3X
I'm a jesus fan
I'm a Jesus fan
And when I think about his mercy
