Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide

And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man

Without me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues

Too Late

Billy's leaving today, don't know where he is going
Holds his head in disgrace, he can't escape the truth
He knows the price that he's paid,
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid

Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
all the door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy

Billy's leaving today, don't know where he is going
He's got lines on his face they tell a story of his pain
He accepts it's his fate,
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong

Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
all the door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy

Once he was a lover sleeping with another,
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he had a mirror looked a little clearer
Seen to the eyes of the weak

Yeah, once he was a lover sleepin' with another,
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he had a mirror looked a little clearer
Seen to the eyes of the weak

Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late (too late)
all the door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy

Oh billy

The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game

Everyday brings change,and the world puts on a new face
Sudden things rearrange, and this whole world seems like a new place
Secretly i been tailing you
Like a fox that prays on a rabbit
Had to get you and so i knew
I had to learn your ways and habits
Ooooooh, you were the catch that i was after
I looked up and i was in your arms and i knew that i was captured

What's this whole world comin to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

I had to lay such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me with a sudden slap
One kiss and then i knew it
Ooooooh, my plans didn't work out like i thought
'Cause i had laid my trap for you but it seems that i got caught

What's this whole world comin to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

Ah yeah, yeah yeah, hey yeah

Best Of You

I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new?

I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
No, I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

ooooh,oh,oh
ooooh,oh,oh
ooooh,oh,oh
ooooh,oh,oh
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You'd die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Best Of You -- Foo Fighters

I Am Free



Once I was a prisoner
Lost inside myself
With the world surrounding me
Wandering through the mysery
But but now I am free

You gave me a breath of life
Unclouded my eyes
With a sweet serenity
Lighting a ray of hope for me
And now I am free


Free to live
Free to laugh
Free to soar
Free to shine
Free to give
Free to love
Free enough to fly

Once I was all so alone
Unsteady and cold
but your love rained down upon me
Washing away uncertainty

But now
I am free

I Am Free -- Mariah Carey

Misunderstood

Talking in her sleep again
reciting lines start to end
but she's not crazy
(knock on wood)
just a little misunderstood

she takes a walk at 4am
wakes the neighborhood again
and i find myself recalling everything she used to tell me

aw yeah, alright, truth hurts inside
aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life

everybody wants to be a part
everybody loves a situation
who would ever want to play the part
of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart

she's waiting tables the next day
she pulls a double then on her way
to an audition in hollywood, yeah,
a little misunderstood

we sit around the house
waiting for the phone to ring
and i know she alone holds the key
to everything i want to be

aw yeah, alright, truth hurts inside
aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life

everybody wants to be a part
everybody loves a situation
who would ever want to play the part
of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart

everybody wants to be your friend
when you've got something you can give them
all i've seen, bad and good, she's not crazy
just a little misunderstood.

aw yeah, all good, she's not crazy,
just a little misunderstood.

two years later you're a star
who'd have thought we'd get this far?
but i'd give it all away if i
could see you on that day again
when you quit work
and threw that coffee
at the manager jerk

you said, "close your eyes
i've got a surprise
a house in the hills
and a car that drives by."

aw yeah, alright, truth hurts, don't it? inside
aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life

everybody wants to be a part
everybody loves a situation
who would ever want to play the part
of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart

everybody wants to be your friend
when you've got something you can give them
all i've seen, bad and good, she's not crazy
just a little misunderstood.

aw yeah, all good, she's not crazy,
just a little misunderstood

The Best Deceptions

I heard about your souvenirs.
I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights,
and the cool guys that you spent them with.
Well I guess I should have heard of them from you.
I guess I should have heard of them from you.

Don't you see, don't you see,
that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you.
So kiss me hard
'cause this will be the last time that I let you.
You will be back someday
and this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips will be of service
to keeping you away.

I heard about your regrets.
I heard that you were feeling sorry.
I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us.
Well I guess I should have heard of them from you.
I guess I should have heard of them from you.

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers,
I'll be all right when my hands get warm.Ignoring the phone,
I'd rather say nothing. I'd rather you'd never heard my voice.
too late to be graciousand you do not warrant long good-byes.
You're calling too late

Narcissus

Dear momma's boy I know you've had your butt licked by your mother
I know you've enjoyed all that attention from her
And every woman graced with your presence after
Dear narcissus boy I know you've never really apologized for anything
I know you've never really taken responsibility
I know you've never really listened to a woman

Dear me-show boy I know you're not really into conflict resolution
Or seeing both sides of every equation
Or having an uninterrupted conversation

And any talk of healthiness
And any talk of connectedness
And any talk of resolving this
Leaves you running for the door

(why why do I try to love you
Try to love you when you really don't want me
To)

Dear egotist boy you've never really had to suffer any consequence
You've never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes
You'd never understand anyone showing resistance
Dear popular boy I know you're used to getting everything so easily
A stranger to the concept of reciprocity
People honor boys like you in this society

And any talk of selflessness
And any talk of working at this
And any talk of being of service
Leaves you running for the door

(why why do I try to help you try to help you
When you really don't want me to)

You go back to the women who will dance the dance
You go back to your friends who will lick your ass
You go back to ignoring all the rest of us
You go back to the center of your universe

Dear self centered boy I don't know why I still feel affected by you
I've never lasted very long with someone like you
I never did although I have to admit I wanted to
Dear magnetic boy you've never been with anyone who doesn't take your shit
You've never been with anyone who's dared to call you on it
I wonder how you'd be if someone were to call you on it

And any talk of willingness
And any talk of both feet in
And any talk of commitment
Leaves you running for the door

(why why do I try to change you try to
Try to change you when you really don't
Want me to)

You go back to the women who will dance the dance
You go back to your friends who will lick your ass
You go back to being so oblivious
You go back to the center of the universe

Everything's Gonna Be Alright

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!

I Love Myself Today

You left me like a broken doll
In pieces as I took the fall
for you, you dumb chump!
You let me free fall like space junk
Burning up in your atmosphere of lies

Well I sound like a philosopher
but I'm a fool, a sucker rocker
'Cause I let you in my heart that one last time

Well, I've had enough, made up my mind
I'm gonna get up and out and wwwiiilllddd!

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
'Cause it's your last look
Your last look forever

Well look at you you're all puffed up
In that big red truck- but you're outta luck (this time)
Well, that's tough
'Cause I'm on fire- too hot to touch
with a chatroom full of lovers on the line
Gonna chat right up. Spit shine my soul
I'm gonna be proud and loud and outta control!

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
'Cause it's your last look
Your last look forever

I'm lookin' in the mirror and I like what I see:
I've lost the fear in my heart that's been eating at me
'Cause being with you is like a hangman's noose
I was living my life in dead man's shoes

I've had enough. Made up my mind
I'm gonna get up and out and wwwiiilllddd!

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
You're dead and gone
I'm gonna get my way
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
'Cause it's your last look
Your last look forever!!

I love myself today
I love myself today
I love myself today
I love myself today
I love myself today
I love myself today
I love myself today

You Learn

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

You Learn -- Alanis Morissette

Betrayal

I don't remember much about that night.
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died.
I think it rained, I think it rained.
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died.

You and I were always closest friends.
It's women that make enemies of men.
A pretty face, A pretty face.
A pretty face would one day do me in.

Her eyes are like the winter when she goes.
Holding secrets only winter knows.
Winters, Winter knows.
Cause winter's seen the wolves in women's clothes.

She came to me and made the laughter new.
We held eachother close the whole might through.
Love is blind, Love went blind.
I didn't see her let you in the room.

A gunshot was the only word she said.
And all of my defenses came out red.
Love went red, Love went red.
She left me for you, Left me lyin dead.

So I watched her as you put me in the dirt.
She had my wallet tucked inside her skirt.
Love went blind, Love went blind.
But I'm not dead if what you did don't hurt.

Addicted To Love

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You cant sleep, you cant eat
Theres no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you cant breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah

Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know you're

Gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love

You see the signs, but you cant read
You're runnin at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind

You cant be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If theres some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah

Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Guitar solo (once around)

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh
Yeah

Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough, you
Know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Loyal To No One

I first meet this man at the Cammen street Tracks
In no shape for success headed nowhere to fast

He may have been someone once by the sound of his call
Now he answers to no one
NO-ONE AT ALL!

We all die alone, he shouted as he passed
With no sense of regret, see he never looked back

Though his pride was wounded, his ego was strong
Yea that was his Trouble and this is his Song

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

His friends come and go like the seasons and tide
He can't keep a women they all realize
He loves them, leaves them, takes what he needs
He's loyal to no one, no one at all

You were brought up well still in spite of it all
You're touched by nothing, watch a man fall
Put a foot on his back to get a better view
Cause your loyal to No-one. NO-ONE BUT YOU!

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

He was broken and tired wouldn't take a hand
Their kindness was simple but he couldn't understand

See it's hard to have faith in something so new
When your loyal to no one, NO-ONE BUT YOU!

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight

Shedding Skin

I don't want you to look at me, I'm shedding skin.
I can't afford for you to see what's in.
I'd rather shoot myself than have you watch me.
I feel you'd steal my skin to try and wear me.

I was betrayed, one more day, of my short life.
You were carried away, had no shame, to suffocate my being.

I was me, but you weren't you.
You were sticking to me like a scab.
So, I peeled you away...
Bled for days...
And stepped out of myself.

I'm shedding skin...
Changing within...
Falling in.

Through swollen eyes...
Dreamed you died...
Caught inside.

I'm shedding skin...
Spreading thin...
Severed stem.

Created the end...
Killing a friend...
I'm shedding my skin.

I don't think you belong in here, I feel I'm sick.
Don't ask, cause, you know damn well where, where I've been.
I've kept a simple woman through the thick and thin.
But I found the guts to sever from my siamese twin.

I throw you away...
Everyday.
A dead part of life.
Strangling back...
Seething black.
In between my longing for torture.

Blood on my face that came from your face.
A mix of kissing and bleeding.
I put you away...
I shut you away...
I pissed you away....
I threw you away.

I'm shedding skin...
Changing within...
Falling in.

Through swollen eyes...
Dreamed you died...
Caught inside.

I'm shedding skin...
Spreading thin...
Severed stem.

I created the end...
Killing a friend...
I'm shedding my skin.

You fucking and sucking.
You friendless.
It's endless.
Your flower has soured.
It's endless.
You're friendless.

It's harder...
And stronger.
But no one's been inside you longer...
And harder...
And deeper...
To get you off you need the fear.
The fear.
The fear.
The fear.
Fear...

It's never love...
Bloody touch.
Broken wrist.
Needle rust.
Choking throat.
Swallowed teeth.
Head fuck.
No peace.

I'm shedding my skin to peel you off of me...
You've got to love me.

Ornament.
Shrunken head.
Playtoy.
Snake strike...
Poisonous.
Syphillis...
Drenched me.
Soaked me.

I'm shedding my skin to drain you out of me.
You've got to hate me.

Shedding Skin -- Pantera

Hope it gives you hell!



I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably workin'
At a 9-to-5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Now where's your picket fence, love?
And where's that shiny car?
It didn't ever get you far
And you never seemed so dense, love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?

And truth be told, I miss you
And truth be told, I'm lyin'

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn
And treats you well
Then he's a fool; you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
I hope it gives you hell

Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
"Where did I go wrong?"
But the list goes on and on

But truth be told, I miss you
And truth be told, I'm lyin'

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn
And treats you well
Then he's a fool; you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn
And treats you well
Then he's a fool; you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
(Hope it gives you hell!)
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
(Hope it gives you hell!)
When you hear this song and you sing along
But you never tell
(You never tell!)
Then you're a fool; I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell
(Hope it gives you hell!)

When you hear this song
I hope that it will give you hell
(Hope it gives you hell!)
You can sing along
I hope that it puts you through hell

You Oughta Know

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

Well, I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Find Another Fool

I should have learned this lesson long ago
That friends and lovers always come and go
And now you claim
that everything's "O.K.", but I've got just one thing to say...

Why don't you...
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another...find another...find another fool...to love you
To love you...find another.....

I don't believe that I deserve this ride
Youtook me for my very heart and pride
You let me down...and now your hand is out
Well, here's some...spare change...you can count

Why don't you...
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another...find another...find another fool...to love you
To love you...find another.....

You pulled this once...you pulled it twice
It's time you listened to my advice....oh, baby

I'd never take advantage of our love
I can't imagine what you're thinkin' of
You're over due...you think this storm is through..
Well, baby, I've got news for you

Why don't you...
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another...find another...find another fool...to love you
To love you...find another.....

Walk

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistance
One step from lashing out at you...
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

RESPECT, walk, what did you say??
RESPECT, walk, are you talking to me???
Are you talking to me??

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize

Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

RESPECT, walk, what did you say??
RESPECT, walk, are you talking to me???

RESPECT, walk, what did you say??
RESPECT, walk, are you talking to me???

Are you talking to me??

Are you talking to me??

No way punk

(Solo)

RESPECT, walk, what did you say??
RESPECT, walk, are you talking to me???
Are you talking to me?

Walk on home boy

Harden My Heart

Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me your word..but words for you are lies

Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know....oh...

All of my life I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waiting for a feeling...that never, ever came
It feels so close, but always disappears....

Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue...
But it's time you got the news......oooo....

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn...and...leave you here.....

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart...harden my heart...
swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart....

Goodbye to You



Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,

[Chorus:]
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

[Chorus]

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

[Chorus x2]

And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star

Goodbye to You -- Michelle Branch

Plenty

I looked into your eyes
They told me plenty
I already knew
You never felt a thing
So soon forgotten all that you do
In more than words i
Tried to tell you
The more I tried I failed

I would not let myself believe
That you might stray
And I would stand by you
No matter what they’d say, I would have thought I’d be with you
Until my dying day
Until my dying day

I used to think my life
Was often empty
A lonely space to fill
You hurt me more than
I ever would have imagined
You made my world stand still
And in that stillness
There was a freedom
I never felt before

I would not let myself believe
That you might stray
And I would stand by you
No matter what they’d say, I would have thought I’d be with you
Until my dying day
Until my dying day

Plenty -- Sarah McLachlan

Love, Save The Empty



Little girls don't know how to be sweet girls.
Mama didn't teach me.
Little boys don't know how to treat little girls.
Daddy didn't show me.

Face down, on top of your bed.
Oh why did I give it up to you?
Is this how I shoot myself up high,
Just high enough to get through?

Again, the false affection.
Again, we break down inside.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty, and save me.

Sad boy, you stare up at the sky
When no one's looking back at you.
You wear your every last disguise;
You're flying, then you fall through.

Again, the false attention.
Again, you're breaking inside.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty, save me.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty.

Stars feel like knives,
They tell us why we're fighting.
Storm, wait outside.
Oh, love, hold us together.

Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty, and save me.
And save me.

Love, Save The Empty -- Erin McCarley

Before It's Too Late



I wonder through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
And I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes

And hold on before it's too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

And the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you dont live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone

Hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

So live like you mean it
Love til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone

And hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

And hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life

Let's Get Married



We've been, going together
Too long to be vague
When there's somethin' to say
If it's not now, then it's never
So I'll say it straight out
'Cus I have no doubt, no doubt

Let's get married
I love ya and I want to stay with ya
Let's get married
Have kids and grow old and gray with ya
Let's get married
Hold hands, walk in the park
Let's get married
Let's get married

We know, other people
Who drifted apart
Who broke each others hearts
But we ain't other people
So we'll do things our way
We're gonna be O.K.
We're gonna be more than O.K.

Let's get married
We're ready for tying the knot
Let's get married
Set the seal on the feelings we've got
Let's get married
We can make each other happy or we can make each other blue
Let's get married
Yeah, it's just a piece of paper but it says "I Love You"
For the good times
For the days when we can do no wrong
For the bad times
For the moments when we think we can't go on
For the family
For the lives of the children that we've planned
Let's get married
C'mon darlin', please take my hand

O, and I'll be the one
Who's by your side
Yeah, I'll be the one
Still taking pride
When we're old if they ask me
"How do you define success?"
I'll say,
You meet a woman
And you fall in love
And you ask her and
She says "Yes"
Ask her and she says "Yes"

Let's get married
I love ya and I want to stay with ya
Let's get married
Have kids and grow old and gray with ya
Let's get married
Hold hands when we walk in the park
Let's get married
All right you can get a cat just as long as it barks
For the good times
For the days when we can do no wrong
For the bad times
For the moments when we think we can't go on
For the family
For the lives of the children that we've planned
Let's get married
C'mon darlin', please take my hand
C'mon darlin', please take my hand
C'mon darlin', please take my hand
