Just one line from one of my own recent lyrics:

And if you won't love me the way I am
I rip the flesh off my bones and be born again
But happy endings are always temporary
because love is a house of cards

Yep. Sometimes you feel like that and I definitely do right now.

John Mayer ~ I Don't Trust

No I'm not the man I used to be lately
See you met me at an interesting time
If my past is any sign of your future
You should be warned before I let you inside

Hold on to whatever you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you

I will beg my way into your garden
I will break my way out when it rains
Just to get back to the place where I started
So I can want you back all over again

Hold on to whatever you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you

Who do you love?
Girl I see through, through your love
Who do you love me or the thought of me? me or the thought of me?

Hold on to whatever you find baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you

Hold on to whatever you find baby
Hold on to whatever gets you through through
Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you
I don't trust myself with loving you
I don't trust myself with loving you
I don't trust myself with loving you

that was my theme song for about 3 years

Melissa Ferrick ~ Massive Blur

why does it keep coming up? you ask
i want it to go away
it keeps coming between us
and i am tired of turning away
but i'm so angry, so angry
i am so damned scared
don't leave me here just hold me
talk about anything i don't care
talk of tangents talk of tangents anyway you like
cuz i'm just not gonna get through this baby
it's not gonna happen tonight
cuz it is all in the timing
and the placement of words
you know i can chase it, i can beat it, i know it's absurd
i just can't face it, can't face it cuz all that i see is a massive blur.

oh yeah....yeah yeah

so it's these women, well they keep coming into my life
and they got the same damn story, and they're linin' in mass strife
but you see they're from a different town
or they got a different last name
but we got the same lonely friends and the same last name
cuz it is all in the timing
and the placement of words
you know i can chase it, i can beat it, i know it's absurd
i just can't face it, can't face it cuz all that i see is a massive blur.
oh yeah cuz all that we see...oh all that we see...is a massive blur.

so why does it coming up? you ask
i want it to go away
it keeps coming between us and i am tired of turning away
it keeps coming between us and i am tired so tired
it keeps coming between us and i am tired
it keeps coming between us and i am tired so tired
it keeps coming between us and i am tired so tired
it keeps coming between us and i am i am tired of turning away

Losin' the battle alone you crie-ied
You let it end with no shame
Anger insi-i-i-i-i-ide, I watched you fade away-ay
Now you're gone away

In silence evermore-ore-ore
Somethin' we all will lear-earn
Pea-ea-ea-eace it will be-ee-ee-ee-ee

In thi-is world when your time ha-as come
(When your time has co-ome)
You face all your fears, you stand alo-o-one

There's a place in my hear-eart
I will never forget you-ou
Unassumin' in your ways, you inspired
But you gave it everything you had
So bra-ave, so stro-o-o-ong
Oh, Yeah you fought it
You just wouldn't let it bring you dow-ow-own
So my friend I, say goodbye now
And until we meet agai-ai-ain
Rest in pea-ea-eace, rest in pea-ea-eace

In thi-is world when your time has come
(When your time has come)
You face all your fears (you face all your fears)
You stand alo-one (lo-o-one)

I believe (I believe in), in the kingdom of lo-ove
(In the kingdom of lo-o-o-ove, of lo-o-ove)

Oh Millie, I say goodbye to you my frie-ie-iend
Millie, Uh-uh-uh, yeah until we meet agai-ai-ain
Rest in pea-ea-eace, rest in pea-ea-eace
Rest in peace...

In thi-is world (in this wor-orld)
When your time has come (when your time has come)
You face all your fears (face all your fears)
You stand alo-o-one (o-o-o-one)

I believe (I believe, yes I do) in the kingdom of love
( Kingdom of lo-o-o-o-ove) (ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)

A PERFECT CIRCLE-3 Libras

threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i've looked right through
to see you naked and oblivious
and
you don't see me.but i threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.
here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see through it all
and see you.
so i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
oh well. apparently nothing.
you don't see me.
you don't see me at all.

I can't find the lyrics to
Don't try to tell me by Wendy and Lisa

it is one of my crying songs.

this one hit a nerve with me, it makes me sad

How many times
Are you gonna apologize about the same thing
And how many times can I take you back
When I'm not the one that's doin' wrong
(When I'm not the one that's doin' wrong, yeah)
I thought maybe if I started prayin'
That we would get better, but
When I would pray the answer would always come back to me bein' done
But we are so hard headed when we're in love
So I

I told myself that I would make some changes
But the more I change there's one thing that remains the same
I can't seem to shake ya
You seem to really have a hold on me
And everytime that we break up
We turn around and make up
This can't go on now
I gotta move on now
It's not the fact that I don't love you no more
But I gotta break this bad habit
Can't take his bad habit no more

I'm totally out of my element
Learnin' new ways to live, while you're in a comfort zone
Not even thinkin, (you couldn't think about me) to call
And then when I get mad you buy me gifts
Thinkin' it's gonna solve every issue
From the girl callin my phone, to the pictures that I saw
And every time you would break up with me for nothing at all
I've taken all I could take (I've taken all I could take)
But the way I live has gotta change, oh

I told myself that I would make some changes
But the more I change there's one thing that remains the same
I can't seem to shake ya
You seem to really have a hold on me
And everytime that we break up
We turn around and make up
This can't go on now
I gotta move on now
It's not the fact that I don't love you no more
But I gotta break this bad habit
Can't take his bad habit no more


Let me break it down
Have you ever loved somebody
So much that you was just to blind to see
Past, all of the pain they was causin' you
Ladies do you feel me (do you feel me)
Have you ever loved somebody
So much that you went against the right things that you should do
Then it's time to make a change
So I

I told myself that I would make some changes
But the more I change there's one thing that remains the same
I can't seem to shake ya
You seem to really have a hold on me
And everytime that we break up
We turn around and make up
This can't go on now
I gotta move on now
It's not the fact that I don't love you no more
But I gotta break this bad habit
Can't take his bad habit no more

thank you

I have been struggling all day with my emotions.... and if this wasn't enough.... my brother called me to ask if I had wished my dad Happy Birthday....?

I talked to my mom and she suggested I take the high road and call him.... my heart feels like it is made of lead.... so cold....so heavy....

pardonme4livin said:

Well if you're taking the highroad because someone is on the lowroad, that means you will miss them altogether!

this thread is depressing

The 3 songs that make me very sad every time I hear them:


A Fine Frenzy: Almost Lover
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

No

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do


I TRY
Macy Gray


Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I belive that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe
But we're not
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm feenin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm feenin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here

Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny
Deny

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
(but I'm dreaming of you babe)
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm feenin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(when you are not near aahh)
Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey, hey)
Though I try to hide it, it's clear (say it Lord)
My world crumbles when you are not here

Goodbye and I choke (I'm choking)
I try to walk away and I stumbe
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(when you are not near, yeah, yeah yeah)
Yeah, yeah…


Paolo Nutini - Last Request

Slow down, lie down
Remember it's just you and me
Don't sell out, bow out
Remember how this used to be
I just want you to know something, is that alright?
Baby let's get closer, tonight

[chorus]
Grant my last request and just let me hold you, don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there
Lay down beside me, ohhh

I've found that I'm bound to wander down that long way road, ohhh
And I realise all about your lies,
But I'm no wiser than the fool that I was before.
I just want you to know something, is that alright?
Baby let's get closer, tonight.

[chorus]
Grant my last request and just let me hold you, don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there
Lay down beside me, ohhh

Baby, baby, baby
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?

[chorus]
Grant my last request and just let me hold you, don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there
Lay down beside me, ohhh

[chorus]
Grant my last request and just let me hold you, don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there
Lay down beside me, ohhh

Ooohhhh wohhhhohhh, yeah
Lay down beside me
One last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me.

That is the line that hits close to home!!!

Me, too.

pardonme4livin said:

You really should call me. I'll tell you how much my life sucks and it will cheer you right up.

Stymie said:

And every time I think of you
there's a star up there that dies
And every day I wait for you
It's my heart that silently cries
And every hour that you're not here
I'm not me,
I'm alone
I die

What's the furthest place from here?
It hasn't been my day for a couple years.
What's a couple more?
And if I go, don't forget the one good thing I almost did.
I learned your name without words.
I used my eyes, not my hands.
What's the closest you can come to an almost total wreck and still walk away,
All limbs intact?
And when I go, you'll be there crying out, begging me.
I won't hear.
I'll just go fast into this night on broken legs.
A near miss or a close call?
I keep a room at the hospital.
I scratch my accidents into the wall.
I couldn't wait to breathe your breath.
I cut in line,
I bled to death.
I got to you, there was nothing left.
What's the meanest you can be to the one you claim to love
And still smile to your new found friends?
In the same confusing breath,
You pull away and draw me in.
I wanted you. You wanted more.
I built this life and now it's mine.

pardonme4livin said:

There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I
believed I'd live forever
There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice

Nobody else would ever
take the place of you
Nobody else could do the
things that you could do
No one else I guess could
hurt me like you did
I didn't understand, I was just a kid


Oh mother, why aren't you here with me
No one else saw the things
that you could see
I'm trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father, you know I'm not so free


I've got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
I've got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for

There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I
[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/f6Z ]
believed I'd live forever
There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice

My mother died when I was five
And all I did was sit and cry
I cried and cried and cried all day
Until the neighbors went away

They couldn't take my loneliness
I couldn't take their phoniness
My father had to go to work
I used to think he was a jerk

I didn't know his heart was broken
And not another word was spoken
He became a shadow of
The father I was dreaming of

I made a vow that I would never need
Another person ever
Turned my heart into a cage
A victim of a kind of rage

I gotta give it up

Find someone that I can care for
Find someone that I can care for

I've got to give it up
[ repeat five times ]

I've got to let it go
I've got to give it up
Oh mother, oh father
I've got to give it up

I gotta give it up

That fucking song

Sade - King Of Sorrow

I'm crying everyone's tears
And there inside our private war
I died the night before
And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I suppose to do

I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothing would change, nothing would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good

The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow

I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good

The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow

I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothing's any good

I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
King of sorrow
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
King of sorrow

[Repeat above until fade]
