Phil Collins - Do You Remember

We never talked about it but I hear the blame was mine
I'd call you up to say I'm sorry,
But I wouldn't want to waste your time
'Cause I love you, but I can't take anymore
There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
If we could try like we tried before
Would you keep on telling me those lies?
Do you remember?
Tell me do you remember?

There seemed no way to make up,
Because it seemed your mind was set
And the way you looked it told me,
That's a look I know I'll never forget
You could've come over to my side,
You could've let me know
You could've tried to see the distance between us
But it seemed too far for you to go
Tell me do you remember?
Tell me do you remember?

Through all of my life,
In spite of all the pain
You know that people are funny sometimes,
'Cause they just can't wait to get hurt again,
Tell me do you remember?

There are things we won't recall,
feelings we'll never find
It's taken so long to see it,
'Cause we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do,
More important to say
And "I love you" wasn't one of those things,
And now it's too late
Do you remember?
Tell me do you remember?

Just tell me now, tell me now..
Just tell me now, tell me now..
Do you,do you, do you, do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember, now that it's over?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Embrace - Gravity

Honey, it's been a long time coming, 
and I can't stop now
Such a long time running,
and I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help thinking
And I don't look down

And then I looked up at the sun
and I could see
Oh, the way that gravity turns for you and me
And then I looked up at the sky
and saw the sun
And the way that gravity pulls on everyone
On everyone

Baby, it's been a long time waiting,
such a long, long time
And i can't stop smiling,
No I can't stop now
And do you hear my heart beating?
and can you hear that sound?
'cause I can't help crying
and I won't look down

And then I looked up at the sun
and I could see
Oh, the way that gravity turns on you and me
And then I looked up at the sun
and saw the sky
And the way that gravity pulls on you and I
On you and I

Can you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help crying
and I won't look down

Ronan Keating - She Believes In Me

While she lays sleeping
I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
And it's good when I finally make it home
All alone

While she lays dreaming
I touch her face across the silver light
I see her dreams that drift up to the sky
And she wakes up to my kiss
And I say it's alright
And I hold her tight

And she believes in me
I'll never know what just what she sees in me
I told her someday
If she was my girl, 
I could change the world
With my songs, 
But I was wrong.

But she has faith in me
And so I go on trying faithfully
Forever in my heart she will remain
And I hope and pray, 
I will find a way, find a way

While she lays waiting
I ask myself why do I hurt her so
What calls me on along this lonely road
Why don't I turn around and head back home
Where I belong

While she lays crying
For she knows how my heart is ripped in two
I'm torn between the things that I should do
She deserves it all and I'd give it if I could
God, her love is true.

And she believes in me
I'll never know what just what she sees in me
I told her someday
If she was my girl, 
I could change the world
With my songs, 
But I was wrong.

But she has faith in me
And so I go on trying faithfully
Forever in my heart she will remain
And I hope and pray, 
I will find a way, find a way

While she lays sleeping
While she lays sleeping for me

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarah Mclachlan - Good Enough

Hey your glass is empty
It's a hell of a long way home
Why don't you let me take you
It's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
But you seemed so real to me
After all the bullshit I've heard
It's refreshing not to see
I don't have to pretend
She doesn't expect it from me

So don't tell me I
Haven't been good to you
Don't tell me I
Haven't been there for you
Don't tell me why
Nothing is good enough

Hey little girl would you like some candy
Your momma said it's ok
The door is open come on outside
No I can't come out today

It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder
And threw you to the ground
Who's there that makes you so afraid
You're shaken to the bone
I don't understand
You deserve so much more than this

So don't tell me why
He's never been good to you
Don't tell me why
He's never been there for you
Don't you know that why
It's simply not good enough

So just let me try
And I will be good to you
Just let me try
And I will be there for you
I'll show you why
You're so much more than good enough

Dashboard Confessional ~ Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string 
Like slow spinning redemption 
Winding in and winding out 
The shine of it has caught my eye 
And roped me in 
So mesmerizing, and so hypnotizing 
I am captivated, 
I am... 

[Chorus] 
Vindicated 
I am selfish 
I am wrong 
I am right 
I swear I'm right 
Swear I knew it all along 
And I am flawed 
But I am cleaning up so well 
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself 

So clear 
Like the diamond in your ring 
Cut to mirror your intention 
Oversized and overwhelmed 
The shine of which has caught my eye 
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated 
I am certain now that I am... 

[Chorus] 

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x] 
So let me slip against the current 
So let me slip away [4x] 

[Chorus] 

Like hope 
Dangles on a string 
Like slow spinning redemption...

Coldplay ~ Amsterdam

Come on, oh my star is fading
I swerve out of control
If I, If I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole.

Come here, oh my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I've got to get out of this hole

But time, is on your side
It's on your side, now
Not pushing you down
And all around
It's no cause for concern..

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see, no chance of release
And I'm dead on the surface
But I'm screaming underneath

And time is on your side
It's on your side, now
Not pushing you down
And all around
Oh, It's no cause for concern

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I'm on my way back down.

Stood on the edge
Tied to a noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won't change a sin
I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
and you came along but you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Staind ~ So Far Away

This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
and these are my dreams
that I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me
'cause I 
I must be sleeping

[chorus]
Now that we're here,
it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes one life contained
they all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
and I feel like I can face the day I can forgive
and I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today

These are my words
that I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
and this is the smile 
that I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

[chorus]

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dido ~ Life for Rent

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent…

Maroon 5 ~ She Will Be Loved

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I’ve had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn’t matter anymore

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies
It’s compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door’s always open
You can come anytime you want

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
(Please don't try so hard to say goodbye)

Tina Turner ~ Missing You

Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
and I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all (missing you)
since you've been gone away (missing you),
I ain't missing you (missing you)
No matter what I might say (missing you)

There's a message in the wire
and I'm sending you the signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
and it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
though I'm trying hard to understand
and it's my heart that's breaking
down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all (missing you)
since you've been gone away (missing you),
I ain't missing you (missing you)
No matter what my friends say (missing you)

there's a message that I'm sending out
via telegraph to your soul
and if I can't breach this distance
stop this heartbreak overload

I ain't missing you at all ...ow...(missing you)
since you've been gone away (missing you),
I ain't missing you (missing you)
No matter what my friends say (missing you)
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you.. I can't lie to myself
And there's a storm that's raging
through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
I ain't missing you...missing you
I ain't missing you, oh no
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you...
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath.


" In your world I have no meaning.. "

John Mayer ~ Comfortable

I just remembered that time at the market
Snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down
Aisle 5 

You looked behind you to smile back at me
Crashed into a rack full of magazines
They asked us
If we could leave 

Can't remember what went wrong last September
Though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to 

Our love was
Comfortable and
So broken in 

I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
My friends all approve say she's gonna be good for you
They throw me
High fives 

She says the bible is all that she reads
And prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was
So dirty 

Life of the party
And she swears that she's artsy
But you could distinguish
Miles from Coltrane 

Our love was
Comfortable and
So broken in 
She's perfect
So flawless
Or so they say ay ay ay
Say ay ay ay 

She thinks I can't see the smile that she's fakin'
And poses for pictures that are being taken
I loved you
Grey sweat pants
No makeup
So perfect 

Our love was
Comfortable and 
So broken in 
She's perfect
So flawless
I'm not impressed

I want you back 

" Our love was comfortable and so broken in.." And so love is blind. You don't always go for the best lookin', the most angelic chap. " She's perfect, so flawless, (But) I'm not impressed. I want you back " And what others think isn't important. " My friends all approve say she's gonna be good for you. They gave me high fives "

Five For Fighting ~ Something About You

I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to get out there to see you
I don't know where to dig in
I don't how to get in there to feel you

It's been too long and I'm about to be in time for me
It's been too long and I'm in time, I'm in time

Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that

I never thought I would win
I never thought much about that
It's been a long time coming
I never stopped to begin
Thinking about the process
It's been a long time coming

It's been too long and I'm about to be in time for me
It's been too long and I'm in time, yeah I'm in time

Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that

And I'm going to be there.... be there...... alright..alright yeah

Well..I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to get out there to see you

Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that

Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
I'm going to hold on to that

Jason Wade ~ You Belong To Me

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
Just remember darlin all the while,
You belong to me.

See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souveniers,
Just remember when a dream appears,
You belong to me.

And I'll be so alone without you,
Maybe you'll be lonesome too.

Fly the ocean in a silver plane,
See the jungle when it's wet with rain.
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me.

Oh I'll be so alone without you,
Maybe you'll be lonesome too.

Fly the ocean in a silver plane,
See the jungle when it's wet with rain.
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Mayer ~ Your Body Is A Wonderland

We've got the afternoon 
You got this room for two 
One thing I've left to do 
Discover me 
Discovering you 

One mile to every inch and
Your skin like porcelain 
One pair of candy lips and 
Your bubblegum tongue 

And if you want love 
We'll make it 
Swim in a deep sea 
Of blankets 
Take all your big plans 
And break 'em 
This is bound to be a while 

Your body is a wonderland 
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) 
Your body is a wonderland 

There's something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face 
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase 
You tell me where to go and 
Though I might leave to find it 
I'll never let your head hit the bed 
Without my hand behind it 

You want love? 
We'll make it 
Swim in a deep sea 
Of blankets 
Take all your big plans 
And break 'em 
This is bound to be a while 

Your body is a wonderland 
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) 
Your body is a wonderland 

Damn baby 
You frustrate me 
I know you're mine, all mine, all mine 
But you look so good it hurts sometimes 

Your body is a wonderland 
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) 
Your body is a wonderland 
Your body is a wonderland 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Mayer ~ Clarity

I worry 
I weigh three times my body 
I worry 
I throw my fear around 
But this morning, there’s a calm I can’t explain 
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain 

Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh 

By the time I recognize this moment 
This moment will be gone 
But I will bend the light pretend 
That it somehow lingered on 
Well all I got’s... 

Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh 

And I will wait to find 
If this will last forever 
And I will wait to find 
If this will last forever 
And I will pay no mind 
Well it won’t, and it won’t, cause it can’t 
It just can’t 
It’s not supposed to 

Is there a second in time I looked around? 
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down? 
Was anything enough to kiss the ground? 
And say I’m here now 
and she’s here now? 

Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... 

So much wasted in the afternoon 
So much sacred in the month of June 
How 'bout you? 

And I will wait to find 
If this will last forever 
And I will wait to find 
That it won’t, and it won’t, it won’t 
And I will pay no mind 
Worry 'bout the rainy weather 
And I will waste no time 
Remaining in our life together

John Mayer's definitely my favourite now.. His voice is sooo smoooth.. Oh I love his voice! " And I will wait to find if this will last forever, and I will wait to find that it won't, it WON'T 'cos it CAN'T, it's NOT SUPPOSED TO! "

Dave Matthew's Band ~ In my Life

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more

In my life I'll love you more...


When I think of you, at least I have some fond memories to fall back on.. :)

Keane ~ Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

(break)

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go


This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

I think Keane is a new British band.. This is a pretty nice song.. I bet there's always a "Somewhere Only We Know" place in everybody's heart..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keane ~ Everybody's Changing

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

(instrumental)

You're gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'cos everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

(solo)

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

Keep seeing this song's MTV n MTVAsia when I was in Vietnam.. Then it kept playing in my head for the longest time thru'out the trip! Pretty catchy tune!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Counting Crows ~ Accidentally In Love

So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know 
Well maybe I'm in love (love) 
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love) 
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love 

Come on, come on 
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on 
The world will follow after
Come on, come on 
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running 
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love 
Melting under blue skies 
Belting out sunlight 
Shimmering love 

Well baby I surrender 
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it 
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning 
Mean we're never alone, 
Never alone, no, no 

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer 
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on 
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on 
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on 
We were once
Upon a time in love 

We're accidentally in love 
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love

Accidentally 

I'm In Love, I'm in Love, 
I'm in Love, I'm in Love, 
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love, 
I'm in Love, I'm in Love, 
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on 
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on 
Just get yourself inside her 

Love... I'm in love



My perfect wedding march in song! HAHA..

John Mayer ~ Why Georgia

I am driving up 85 in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom
4 more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
Wood in places to make it feel like home
But all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
Or just the stirring in my soul

Either way I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

So what, so I've got a smile on
But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but
That's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
Still "everything happens for a reason"
Is no reason not to ask myself 

If I am living it right
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

John Mayer ~ Bigger Than My Body

This is a call to a colorblind
This is an IOU 
I’m stranded behind the horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not the time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in
And I've never quite returned

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Maybe I'll tangle in a power lines
And it might be over in a second’s time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name
To remember my name now

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
Bigger than my body now
Bigger than my body now

Peter Cetera ~ She Doesn't Need Me Anymore

Don't know when she started changing
Don't know how it's come to this
Seems like yesterday she was in my arms, begging for a kiss
Now the winds of change are blowin'
And they're taking her away
I will do my best not to hold her back,
But there's nothing more to say 

She doesn't need me
She's gonna leave me
She needs some time on her own
I should have told her
Now I can't hold her
Wish it could be like before
But she doesn't need me anymore 

It's so hard to watch believe me
It's so hard to be alone
I just hope and pray that there'll come a day,
She'll find the road back home 

She doesn't need me
She's gonna leave me
She needs some time on her own
I should have told her
Now I can't hold her
Wish it could be like before
But she doesn't need me anymore 

If I pretend to be happy, I'd only be fooling myself
'Cause here in my heart I know that I'm dying
And it's tearing me apart, baby I'm crying 

I should have told her
Now I can't hold her
Wish it could be like before
But she doesn't need me now 

Wish it could be like before
But she doesn't need me anymore

Hoobastank ~ The Reason

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Michelle Branch ~ 'til I Get Over You

Ev'ry time I feel alone
I can blame it on you
And I do, oh
You got me like a loaded gun
Golden sun and sky so blue, oh

We both know that we want it
But we both know you left me no choice

(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm countin' my tears 
Till I get over you

Sometimes I watch the world go by
I wonder what it's like
To wake up every single day
Smile on your face
You never tried (You never tried)

We both know
We can't change it
But we both know
We'll just have to face it

(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm countin' my tears 
Till I get over you

If only I could give you up
But would I want to let you off 
Of this soapbox, baby, yeah

We both know that we want it
But we both know 
You left me no choice

(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm countin' my tears 
Till I get over you

We both know that I'm not over you

I'm not over you

French lyrics translation*
Chaque fois que tu t'en vas, 
je pretends que tout va bien: 
[Whenever you leave, 
I claim that all is well
Every time you walk away, 
I pretend that I'm okay.]

Chicago ~ Look Away


When you called me up this morning
Told me about the new love you found 
I said I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you
Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming around
I guess it's over baby, it's really over baby

And from what you said I know you've gotten over me
It'll never be the way it used to be
So if it's gotta be this way
Don't worry baby I can take the news ok

But if you see me walking by
With the tears all in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
And if we meet on the streets someday and I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way...

When we both agreed as lovers, we were better off as friends
That's how it had to be
Yeah that's how it had be
I tell you I'm fine
But sometimes I just pretend
Wish you were holding me
Wish you were still holding me

I just never thought that I would be replaced so soon
I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you
I know I wanted to be free
Yeah baby this is how we wanted it to be!

But if you see me walking by
With the tears all in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
And if we meet on the streets someday
And I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way

If you see me walking by
With the tears all in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
And if we meet on the street someday and I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way

And if you see me walking by
With the tears all in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way

When you called me up this morning, told me about the new love you found
I said I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you..

Jason Mraz ~ You and I Both

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice and I'm looking on the bright side 
And balancing the whole thing

Oh But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh Until the dawn it brings
A little bird to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of 
Others only read of the love, 
oh the love that I love 
la, la, la, la

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words than I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Then you and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
Oh and with this silence brings a moral story 
more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cuz you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
and others just read of 
and if you could see now 
well I'm almost finally out of
I’m finally ow-ow-out of
Finally de-de-de-de-de-de-de
Well I’m almost finally, finally
Well I am free, free, free. 

and it's okay if you have go away
just remember the telephone will be working in both ways
and if I never ever hear it ring
if nothing else I'll think the bells inside 
have finally found you someone else 
and that's okay
cause I'll remember everything you sang

cuz you and I both loved 
what you and I spoke of
and others just read of 
and if you could see now
well then I'm almost finally out of
I’m finally ow-ow-out of
Finally de-de-de-de-de-de-de
Well I’m almost finally, finally out of words.

Outkast ~ Roses


[Verse One - Andre 3000]
Caroline! Caroline!
All the guys would say she's mighty fine
But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time
And the other half either got you cursed out, or coming up short
Yeah, now dig this, even though (even though)
You'd need a golden calculator to divide (to divide)
The time it took to look inside and realize that
Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!

[Chorus- Repeat 2x]
I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See that roses really smell like boo-boo
Yeah, roses really smell like boo-boo

[Verse Two - Andre 3000]
Caroline! See she's the reason for the word "bitch" (bitch)
I hope she's speeding on the way to the club
Trying to hurry up to get to some
Baller or singer or somebody like that
And try to put on her makeup in the mirror
And crash, crash, crash.. into a ditch! (Just Playing!)
She needs a golden calculator to divide (to divide)
The time it took to look inside and realize that
Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!

[Chorus- Repeat 2x]
I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See that roses really smell like boo-boo
Yeah, roses really smell like boo-boo

[Verse Three]
Well she's got a hotty body, but her attitude is potty
When I met her at a party she was hardly acting naughty
I said "Would you call me?"
She said "Pardon me, are you ballin'?"
I said "Darling, you sound like a prostitute pursing"
Oh so you're one them freaks, get geeked at the sight of ATM receipts
But game been peeped, dropping names she's weak
Trickin' off this bitch is lost
Must take me for a geek a quick way to eat
A neat place sleep, a rent-a-car for a week, a trick for a treat
Now go on the raw sex, my AIDS test is flawless
Regardless, we don't want to get involved with no lawyers
And judges just to hold grudges in a courtroom
I wanna see ya support bra not support you!

[Chorus- Repeat 4x]
I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See that roses really smell like boo-boo
Yeah, roses really smell like boo-boo

[Repeat 2x]
Better come back down to Mars
Girl, quit chasin' cars
What happens when the dough get so low
Bitch, you ain't that fine
No way.. no way.. no way

[Repeat 2x]
Crazy bitch (repeated in background)
Bitch, stupid ass bitch
Old punk ass bitch, old dumbass bitch
A bitch's bitch, just a bitch


Cool track! I LOVE OUTKAST!!

Toni Braxton and Babyface ~ How Could An Angel Break My Heart

I heard he sang a lullaby 
I heard he sang it from his heart 
When I found out thought I would die 
Because that lullaby was mine 
I heard he sealed it with a kiss 
He gently kissed her cherry lips 
I found that so hard to believe 
Because his kiss belonged to me 

How could an angel break my heart 
Why didn't he catch my falling star 
I wish I didn't wish so hard 
Maybe I wished our love apart 
How could an angel break my heart 

I heard her face was white as rain 
(Your face is white as rain)
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
(Soft as a rose in May) 
He keeps her picture in a frame
(I keep your picture) 
And when he sleeps he calls her name 
(I only call out your name)
I wonder if she makes him smile 
(She doesn't make me smile)
The way he used to smile at me 
(I only smile at you)
I hope she doesn't make him laugh 
(She doesn't make me laugh)
Because his laugh belongs to me 
(My laugh belongs to you)

How could an angel break my heart 
(You are my heart)
Why didn't he catch may falling star 
(I'll catch your star)
I wish I didn't wish so hard 
(Don't wish so hard)
Maybe I wish our love apart 
(Love falls apart)
How could an angel break my heart
(Your tender heart) 

Oh (my love)
My (i know that)
Soul (i know your)
Is (is dying)
Dying (i know your soul is crying)
It's crying (i know that you've been dying)
I'm trying (trying)
To understand (To understand)
Please help me (please help me)

How could an angel break my heart
(i'd never break your heart)
Why didn't he catch my falling star
(i'd catch your falling star)
I wished i didn't wish so hard
(you never wished too hard)
Maybe i wished our love apart
(we're not apart)
How could an angel break my heart
(oooh yeah)



How could an angel break my heart? Why didn't he catch my falling star? I wish I didn't wish so hard.. Maybe I wished our love apart.. How could an angel break my heart?

U2 ~ One

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One... life

One 


Wonderful, wonderful lyrics and a wonderful song! Check out REM and The Corrs' concert rendition! " You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without.. You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl, I can't be holding on to what you got when all you got is hurt.."

Jordan Hill ~ Remember Me This Way

Every now and then we find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found
I know you can't stay
But part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life will just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
For ever more a part of me you're everywhere
I'll always care

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life will just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side in all you do
And I won't ever leave as long as you believe
You just believe...

Chorus:
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life will just be kind
To such a gentle mind
And if you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

3 Doors Down ~ Here Without You

A hundred days had made me older 
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face 
A thousand lights had made me colder 
And I don’t think I can look at this the same 
But all the miles had separate 
They disappeared now when I’m dreaming of your face 

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind 
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time 
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams 
And tonight it’s only you and me 

The miles just keep rolling as the people either way to say hello 
I hear this life is overrated but I hope it gets better as we go 

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind 
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time 
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams 
And tonight girl it’s only you and me 

Everything I know, and anywhere I go 
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love 
And when the last one falls, when it’s all said and done 
it get hard but it won’t take away my love 

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind 
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time 
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams 
And tonight girl it’s only you and me 

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind 
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time 
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams 
But tonight girl it’s only you and me 

Wanted to download With or Without You by U2 actually but downloaded this song by mistake.. Turned out that this song is really nice! :) Another sad song though..

Alan Parson's Project ~ Sooner or Later

Oh what a price we pay
For the things we say
And the closer I get to you
The further you move away
All the lies we tell
In the games we play
And the longer I think it over
The harder it is to stay

Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind

You didn't want to know
I could have told you so
But the moment I think it's over
The further there is to go
Just a little word
Such an easy way
But the the longer I think about it
The harder it is to say

Sooner or later I'll be free
To leave the past behind
Sooner or later you're gonna be
The last thing on my mind
Little by little I'm finding out
The truth behind your eyes
Maybe if I don't show
I thought you might like to know
You're gonna be the last thing on my mind

" Sooner or later you're going to be the last thing on my mind.." Nice groovy song!!

98 Degrees ~ Was It Something I Didn't Say

Spending another night alone
Wondering when will I ever see you again
Thinking what I would give to get you back baby
I should have told you how I felt then
Instead I kept it to myself
I let my love go unexpressed
'til it was too late
You walked away

Was it something I didn't say
When I didn't say I love you
Was it words that you never heard 
All those words I should have told you
All those times 
All those nights
When I had the chance to
Was it something I didn't say

Always assumed that you'd be there
Couldn't foresee the day you'd ever be leaving me
How could I let my world slip through my hands baby
I took for granted that you knew
Our love, the love I had for you
I guess you never had a clue
'til it was too late
You walked away

Was it something I didn't say
When I didn't say I love you
Was it words that you never heard 
All those words I should have told you
All those times 
All those nights
When I had the chance to
Was it something I didn't say
I didn't say baby
I didn't say baby

All the words were in my heart
They went unspoken
Baby now my silent heart
Is a heart that's broken
I should have said so many things
Should have let you know
You're the one I needed near me
But I never let you hear me
Was it something 
I didn't say I love you
Never heard.. should have told you
All those words I should have told you
All those times
All those nights
Was it something I didn't say
I didn't say baby 
I didn't say baby
I'm so sorry girl so sorry
I'm so sorry girl so sorry


This song will always hold a very significant meaning in my heart..

Michelle Branch ~ 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 Feels like I'm starting all over again The last three years were just pretend And I said, Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved 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 Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to Ooh, 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 Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that 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.... The one thing that I tried to hold on to.... The one thing that I tried to hold on to.... And when the stars fall I will lie awake You're my shooting star

" Goodbye to you.. Goodbye to everything that I knew.. You were the one I loved, and one thing that I tried to hold on to.. " Somethings are just meant to be, no matter how hard you try you just can't change things the way you want them to be. Letting go is hard, but you just gonna.. I believe that if it was really yours it'll come back eventually. If it doesn't, then that's not the one you're meant to be with.

Matchbox Twenty ~ Last Beautiful Girl

This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We can't take back

Now every fool in town would've left by now
I can't replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face-can't help
thinkin'

Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together
Where would we be
A thousand lost forevers
And the promises that you never were giving me
Here's what I'm thinking

chorus

It won't be the first -heart that you break
It won't be the last -beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked -won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

Tell me one more time
How you're sorry about the way
This all went down-you needed to find your space
You needed to still be friends
You needed me to
Call you if I ever couldn't keep it all together
You'd comfort me
You'd tell me but forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Here's what I'm thinking

chorus

It won't be the first- heart that you break
It won't be the last- beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked -won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

It's over now and I've gone without
Cuz you're everyone else's girl
It seems to me you'll always be
Everyone else's girl (x2)

This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And all of the words we said
We can't take back

It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl

It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

Last beautiful girl...
You were the last beautiful girl

Deep Blue Something ~ Breakfast at Tiffany's

You'll say, we've got nothing in common, No common ground to start from, And we're falling apart, You'll say, the world has come between us, Our lives have come between us, Still I know you just don't care. And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'" She said, "I think I remember the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it." And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we've got." I see you, the only one who knew me, And now your eyes see through me, I guess I was wrong, So what now? It's plain to see we're over, And I hate when things are over, When so much is left undone. And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'" She said, "I think I, remember the film, And, as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it," And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we got." You'll say, that we've got nothing in common, No common ground to start from, And we're falling apart, You'll say the world has come between us, Our lives have come between us, Still I know you just don't care. And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'" She said, "I think I, remember that film, And, as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it," And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we got." Oooooo And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'" She said, "I think I, remember that film, And, as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it," And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we got." And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'" She said, "I think I, remember that film, And, as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it," And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we got."

Dedicating this song specially to the one I dreamt of last night, WT..

She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat She's always worried about things like that She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams and her voice is straining She says baby It's 3 am I must be lonely When she says baby Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes And the rain's gonna wash away I believe it She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams and her voice is straining She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway But outside it's stopped raining

Nice song to listen at night.. A sad, sad song.. Rob Thomas' sad, sad voice singing this sad, sad song.. :( "It's 3 a.m I must be lonely.. I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes.. " What if the rain ain't gonna wash away??

Dido ~ White Flag

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you I'll tell you that But if I didn't say it Well, I'd still have felt it Where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess And destruction to come back again And I caused but nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of "It's over" Then I'm sure that that makes sense Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet As I'm sure we will All that was then Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be

" And I won't put my hands up and surrender. There will be no white flag above my door. I'm in love and always will be."

Phil Collins ~ Against All Odds

How can I just let you walk away Just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking every breath with you You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me When all I can do is watch you leave 'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain And even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all So take a look at me now Well there's just an empty space There's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face Oh take a look at me now 'Cos there's just an empty space And you coming back to me Is against the odds And that's what I gotta face I wish I could just make you turn around Turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you So many reasons why You're the only one who really knew me at all So take a look at me now Well there's just an empty space There's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face Now take a look at me now But to wait for you Is all I can do And that's what I gotta face Oh take a look at me now 'Cos I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me Is against all odds And that's what I gotta face Take a look at me now

"Take a look at me now.." Who would care??

David Gates ~ I can't play the songs

Looking at your picture laying on my bed Wishing I was pulling close the real you instead I don’t know what I said or did But girl I’m missing you And I like to hear my music But there’s nothing I can listen to Cos I can’t play the song I used to play because of you The lonesome feeling starts before the intro's halfway thru Everyone reminds me of the things we used to do together And I can’t go to places that I used to take you to Cos everywhere the faces there they all look just like you Until your heart comes back where it belongs I can’t play the songs Everywhere I’m drivin’ I go a different way I can’t turn on my radio, afraid what they might play My friends all drive me crazy cause you’re all they ask about And why I live in silence but they just don’t understand Without you, I can’t play the song I used to play because of you The lonesome feeling starts before the intro halfway thru No one can replace you cause once I tried And even when I try to go with someone new You are so deep in my head I looked into her eyes but then I said your name instead Until your heart comes back where it belongs I can’t play the songs There’s nothing left that I can do cause I so lost in love with you No where to turn, no place to run You know you are my only one I can’t play the song you used to sing along with me Cause’ everyone is always bringin’ back the memory Until your heart is back where it belongs I can’t play the songs (won’t you please come back to me)

Love the lyrics.. And Davids Gates made the song sound even more sad.. "I can't play the song you used to sing along with me.. The lonesome feeling starts before the intro's halfway thru'.."

Collin Raye ~ I wish I could

Looking out my window
See you playing in the leaves
It's amazing how a little girl
Means all the world to me
When I tell you that I love you
I love you more than words can say

Smile, say cheese pretty-please
I wanna take your picture
How'd you ever get so big
I gotta take your picture
Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away

I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
But I wish I could

When you kiss me for no reason
It goes straight to my heart
When I feel your arms around me
I almost fall apart
It's time for bed you whisper
Daddy, we forgot to pray

I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
But I wish I could

And when I watch you sleeping
All my worries fade away
A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face

I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
I know I can't
But I wish I could

This song is so heart-achingly sweet.. I wish time could stand still when everything was happy and fun and nice.. "I wish I could stop the world from turning, leave things just the way they are.. I know I can't..I know I can't.. But I wish I could.."

Ewan Mcgregor ~ Your Song

My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

I sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
Well some of these verses, well they, they got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Watched Moulin Rouge and fell in love with this song.. "How wonderful life is when you're in the world.." How I wish I had someone to say that to.. :(

George Michael ~ Kissing a Fool

You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find
Peace of mind
Till you listen to your heart

People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through

Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye
But please don't take my heart

You are far
But I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But I'll never find
Peace of mind
While I listen to my heart

People...

But remember this
Every other kiss
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like I always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other

You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool

A nice jazzy song.. "Fooled me with the tears in your eyes, covered me with kisses and lies.. So goodbye.. But please don't take my heart.."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alanis Morrisette ~ Hands Clean

If it weren't for your maturity
none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years
I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention
you wouldn't have been successful and if
If it weren't for me
you would never have amounted to very much

Bridge:
Ooh this could be/get messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

Chorus:
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

You're essentially an employee
and I like you having to depend on me
You're a kind of protege
and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me and
I know you depend on me
like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me
like a young thing would and I think I like it

Chorus

What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
What with this distance it seems so obvious?
Just make sure you don't tell on me
especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves
and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world
cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day
if you watch that weight and keep your firm body

I think this song is about two people trying to forget their dark past.. How nobody knew about it even after everything was over, with one of them already getting over it better the other I guess.. Nice song with meaningful lyrics.. "What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?"

Third Eye Blind ~ Semi-Charmed Life

I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you

And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said

I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye

Do-do-do do-do-do-doodoo-do-do-do-doooo-do do

The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish it could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, And then I bumped again,
and said
How do I get back there
To the place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to the place
where you said

I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye

I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling;an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right, all right

When the plane came in she said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city
We tripped on the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
One, and you hold me
And we are broken
Still it's all that I want to do
(Just a little now)

Feel myself head made underground
I'm scared I'm not coming down (no no)
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in a smile
But nothing is all right, all right

And I want something else to get me through this life Baby, 
And I want something else, I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye,god-bye....

Do-do-do-doodoo-do-do-do...

Actually I haven't figured out what this song is talking about, but I quite like it.. Makes me feel good.. It's the kinda song you'd wanna blast out real LOUD!! Hehehe..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eric Clapton ~ Blue Eyes Blue

I thought that you'd be loving me
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm still here alone

'Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting, I was never waiting for the tears to start

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
Who made the tears fall down
It was you
Who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue
Oh, Never should have trusted you

I thought that I'd be all you need
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven
And now my heavens gone away
And I'm out in the cold

'Cause you had me believing
You had me believing in a lie
Guess I couldn't see it
Guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
Who made the tears fall down
It was you
Who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue
Oh, Never should have trusted you

' Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for the tears to start

It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you
It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you

chorus

oh, never should have trusted you
oh, never should have trusted you
oh, never should have trusted you

This song is from the movie Runaway Bride.. The movie was so-so but this song left a deeper impression in me than the movie itself..

Bee Gees ~ How can you mend a broken heart

I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But i was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again.

La la la la...

I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

And how can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again.

La la la...

Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

La da da da...
Da da d da, da da da...

I think this is such a sad song.. It's nice to listen to it at night, when the whole world's sleeping..

Lyte Funkie Ones (LFO)~ Life is Good

Life (life) is unbelievable
Life (life) is 

Life is good
Life is great
Life is unbelievable
Life is hard, life is cruel
Life is so beautiful
Ooh yeah ooh yeah

Life (life) is unbelievable
Oh yeah oh yeah
Life (life) is unbelievable

Somewhere in Lafayette 
On my way to anywhere
A woman named Beatrice serves me coffee
And she smiles as if she cares
It reminds me of this painting
That I think I've often seen
The kings behind the counter
Serving coffee to James dean

Life is good
Life is great
Life is unbelievable
Life is hard, life is cruel
Life is so beautiful
Ooh yeah ooh yeah

Life (life) is unbelievable
Oh yeah oh yeah
Life (life) is so beautiful

On my way through garden city
On my way to anywhere
A guy named Patrick gives me directions
And he smiles as if he cares
It reminds me of this movie
That I think I've often seen
Pretty much this situation
Except I'd be Steve McQween

So what would you do if you wake tomorrow
there's no more sorrow, your dreams came true
So knock on wood and cross your fingers
Now count your blessings
It might be you
What would you do if you wake tomorrow
When all your gray skies have now turned blue
How many days do you think you're given
So get on livin , it's up to you

If your soul loves the sun
Rock rock on
Yo I be flippin a rippin the party till the break of dawn
If you love rich nice
So you hate rich nice
Take my advice and just live up your life ('cause it's your's)

[M.O.P]
Hey if your mess'n with the sacred world
It's a never ending test
I don't know where to begin
And I feel I'm at an end
I don't wanna live life
Doing petty nonsense
It's hard to sleep at night
With a guilty conscience
You know It's really a mess
Now I feel blessed
When 20 Minutes from now
It'll all turn to stress
I'm 27 years, I'm in Brownsville, dears
I'm stuck with all the blood, the sweat and the tears
yeah yeah baby It's on,
A mother sheds tears at the same time a baby is born
On the other side of town a life is lost
A young thug was knocked off and the heat was tossed
damn
Life is real, it's so trite
But don't stop now
Live your life
I know it's hell for the rough
But don't talk down on your man,
Unless your helping him out
It's yours

A wake up song for all the sad fellas out there! (Ok, me inclusive.) Hehehe.. "How many days do you think you're given, so get on living, it's up to you."

Berlinda Carlisle ~ Insensitive


               
How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss?
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere?

Oh I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive, insensitive, insensitive

How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush?
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend?
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again?

Oh you probably won't remember 
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I Fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have, some advice to give
On How to be insensitive

Oh I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
How to be insensitive

Actually, the version I listen to isn't by Leanne Rimes, but I don't remember her name."

MatchBox Twenty ~ Unwell

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Makin' friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me 
that I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown 
and I don't know why

Well I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Me, 
talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
And I know
I know they've all been talkin' bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinkin
Somehow I've lost my mind

Well I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talkin in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're takin' me away

Well I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Yeah, How I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
(A little unwell)
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

I don't think this song is really that nice, I mean, compared to his other songs like Push and If You're Gone. This song is rather like the Mad Season style, not that nice but I like it anyway.

Dido ~ Hunter

With one light on in one room, I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair, I know your look when I get there

If you were a zeb a kos on your er,
would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
wants to be a hunter again,  I want to see the world all over  again
To take a chance on life again -- so let me go

The unread book and painful look, the TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause, then you begin, oh look what the cat's brought in

If you were a king up there on your throne,
would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
wants to be a hunter again, I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me leave

For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking

I want to be a hunter again, I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go 

i want to be a hunter again, i want to see the world alone again.
to take a chance on life again so let me go, let me leave.
Let me go.

I like the melody, and how the guitar comes in at the chorus. Very nice beat, and Dido has a voice that is pretty soothing.

Boys II Men ~ On Bended Knees

.Darling I, I can't explain,
Where did we lose our way,
'Girl it's driving me insane.
And I know I just need one more chance,
To prove my love to you.
And if you come back to me,
I'll guarantee,
That I'll never let you go.

CHORUS:
Can we go back to the days
Our love was strong.
Can you tell me how
A perfect love goes wrong.
Can somebody tell me 
How to get things back,
The way they used to be.
Oh God, give me the reason,
I'm down on bended knee.

B-SECTION:
I'll never walk again,
Until you come back to me,
I'm down on bended knee.

So many nights I dream of you.
Holding my pillow tight I know,
That I don't need to be alone.
When I open up my eyes,
To face reality,
Every moment without you,
It seems like eternity.
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me.

REPEAT CHORUS.

MIKE:
Baby, I'm sorry,
Please forgive me for all the wrong I've done.
Please come back home girl.
I know you put all your trust in me,
I'm sorry I let you down.
Please forgive me.

I'm gonna swallow my pride,
Say I'm sorry,
Stop pointing fingers, 
The blame is on me.
I want a new life,
And I want it with you.
If you feel the same,
Don't ever let it go.
You gotta believe in the spirit of love,
It will heal all things,
Won't hurt any more.
No I don't believe our love's terminal.
I'm down on my knees,
Begging you please,
Come home.

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE.

REPEAT BRIDGE.

Wanna build a new life,
Just you and me.
Gonna make you my wife,
Raise a family.

REPEAT BRIDGE.

They sing really well, the melody's nice, and I love the lyrics..

Human Nature ~ Everytime You Cry

Never before have I seen you lookso blue I can't find a cure and nothing comforts you The light at the end of the tunnel Doesn't shine at the end of the day (chorus) Everytime you cry Save up all your tears I will be your rainbow When they disappear Wash away the pain 'Til you smile again I will be the laughter in your eyes Every time you cry Every time you cry Time has a way of wounding what has healed What can I say? I know just how you feel Your soul is dark and troubled Like a river running wild Everytime you cry Save up all your tears I will be your rainbow When they disappear Wash away the pain 'Til you smile again I will be the one who dries your eyes Every time you cry Every time you cry Well, you know that's what I'm here for I will give you when you need more There will be no hesitation I will reap no reward
 

A cheerful song with a nice beat..
