Just some songs…
Some sappy, some angry (and maybe a little dark), and some just for fun.
Bed Of Lies
(Matchbox Twenty)
No I Would Not Sleep In This Bed Of Lies
So Toss Me Out And Turn In
And There'll Be No Rest For These Tired Eyes
I'm Marking It Down To Learning
I Am
Don't Think That I Can Take Another Empty Moment
Don't Think That I Can Fake Another
Hollow Smile
It's Not Enough Just To Be Sorry
Don't Think That I Could Take Another Talk About It
Just Like Me You Got Needs
And They're Only A Whisper Away
And We Softly Surrender
To These Lives That We've Tendered Away
No I Would Not Sleep In This Bed Of Lies
So Toss Me Out And Turn In
And They'll Be No Rest For These Tired Eyes
I'm Marking It Down To Learning
I Am
Don't Wanna Be The One Who Turns The Whole Thing Over
Don't Wanna Be Somewhere Where I Just Don't Belong
Where It's Not Enough Just Be Sorry
Don't You Know I Feel The Darkness Closing In
Tried To Be More Than Me
And I Gave 'til It All Went Away
And We've Only Surrendered
To The Worst Part Of These Winters We've Made
I Am All That I'll Ever Be
When You Lay Your Hands
Over Me
But Don't Go Weak On Me Now
I Know That It's Weak
But God Help Me I Need This
I Will Not Sleep In This Bed Of Lies
Bring Me to Life
(Evanescence)
how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where i've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home wake me up inside
wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark
bid my blood to run
before i come undone
save me from the nothing i've become
now that i know what i'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life
wake me up inside
wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark
bid my blood to run
before i come undone
save me from the nothing i've become
bring me to life
frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead
all this time i can't believe i couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
i've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life
Done with You
(Papa Roach)
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you (comfort of you)
And I finally realize your tearing me apart
So help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
You've made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I always loved you cause your "oh so special" ("oh so special")
I'm broken and I'm alone and I cannot maintain
So help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you,I am done with you)
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
Because you and me are through
You couldn't help me, you couldn't save me
Now I know the end is here
I am done with you
Don’t Say You Love Me
(The Corrs)
I’ve seen this place a thousand times
I’ve felt this all before
And every time you call
I’ve waited there as though you might not call at all
I know this face I’m wearing now
I’ve seen this in my eyes
And though it feels so great I’m still afraid
That you’ll be leaving anytime
We’ve done this once and then you closed the door
Don’t let me fall again for nothing more
Don’t say you love me unless forever
Don’t tell me you need me if you’re not gonna stay
Don’t give me this feeling I’ll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away
I’ve caught myself smiling alone
Just thinking of your voice
And dreaming of your tough is all too much
You know I don’t have any choice
Everybody's Fool
(Evanescence)
perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that
never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled
look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she
never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie
i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore
it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool
Fallen
(Sarah McLachlan)
Heaven Bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I tried my best
But somewhere long the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
But the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
We all begin out with good intent
When love is raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
Heaven bend to take my hand
I've nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to these I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one wrong step one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem away to be redeemed
Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
Foolish Games
(Jewel)
You took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that
I watched from my window
Always felt I was outside looking in on you
You were always the mysterious one
With dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather
Well in case you failed to notice
In case you failed to see
This is my heart bleeding before you
This is me down on my knees
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that
Forever Young (This was my junior high graduation theme...made popular again by Napoleon Dynamite)
(Alphaville)
Let's start in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us stay young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sadman
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn out all the faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman
Forever Young
I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, you'll never
Forever Young,
I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever Young.
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Years like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many advantages given up today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let it come true
Friends
(Michael W. Smith)
Packing up the dreams of God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can’t believe the hopes He’s granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we’ll keep you close as always
It won’t even seem you’ve gone
‘Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord is the Lord of them
And a friend will not say “Never”
‘Cause the welcome will not end
Though it’s hard to let you go
In the Father’s hands we know
That a lifetime’s not too long to live as friends
With the faith and love God’s given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you’ll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we’ll keep you close as always
It won’t even seem you’ve gone
‘Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord is the Lord of them
And a friend will not say “Never”
‘Cause the welcome will not end
Though it’s hard to let you go
In the Father’s hands we know
That a lifetime’s not too long to live as friends
Going Under
(Evanescence)
now i will tell you what i've done for you
50 thousand tears i've cried
screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
and you still won't hear me
don't want your hand this time i'll save myself
maybe i'll wake up for once
not tormented daily defeated by you
just when i thought i'd reached the bottom
i'm dying again
i'm going under
drowning in you
i'm falling forever
i've got to break through
i'm going under
blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
so i don't know what's real and what's not
always confusing the thoughts in my head
so i can't trust myself anymore
i'm dying again
i'm going under
drowning in you
i'm falling forever
i've got to break through
so go on and scream
scream at me i'm so far away
i won't be broken again
i've got to breathe i can't keep going under
I Never Loved You Anyway
(The Corrs)
You bored me with your stories
I can believe that I endured you for as long as I did
I’m happy it’s over, I’m only sorry
That I didn’t make the move before you
And when you go I will remember
To send a thank you note to that girl
I see she’s holding you so tender
Well I just wanna say
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn’t love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I’m so glad you’re moving away
Valentino I didn’t think so
You watching MTV while I lie dreaming in an MT bed
And come to think of it
I was misled
My glad my flood my everything
And thoughts inside my head
Before you go I must remember
To have a quiet word with that girl
Does she know you’re not a spender
Well I just have to say
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn’t love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I’m so glad you’re moving away
And when you go I will remember
I must remember to say…
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn’t love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn’t love you anyway
Never truly loved you anyway
I’m so happy you’re moving away
Yeah I’m delighted you’re moving away
Hands
Jewel
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands
If I Had A $1,000,000
(Barenaked Ladies)
If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you a house (I would buy you a house)

I'd buy you a K-Car (a nice Reliant automobile)
If I Had $1000000 I'd buy your love.
If I Had $1000000
I'd build a tree fort in our yard.
If I Had $1000000
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard.

Maybe we could put a refrigerator in there.

If I Had $1000000
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner.
(But we would eat Kraft Dinner. Of course we would, we'd just eat more.
And buy really expensive ketchup with it.
That's right, all the fanciest Dijon Ketchup. Mmmmmm.)

I'd buy you a monkey (haven't you always wanted a monkey?)

If I Had $1000000, If I Had $1000000
I'd be rich.
Insensitive
(Written by Anne Loree, recorded by Jann Arden)
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 have 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
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 don’t remember me
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 have 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
On how to be
Insensitive…Insensitive…Insensitive
I Will Remember You
(Sarah McLachlan)
I will remember you
Will you remember me
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had
I let them slip away when things got bad
Clearly I first saw you smiling in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me
I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
Funny how we feel so much but cannot say a word
We are screaming inside we can't be heard
I will remember you
Will you remember me
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
So afraid to love you but more afraid to lose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness deep and endless night
You gave me everything it had, oh you gave me light
I will remember you
Will you remember me
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Leave Me Alone
(The Corrs)
I'm alone, hiding in the dark
I'm looking for a life
To come and rescue me
I sleep, I rise
Hear your denies
Endlessly inside
It's crazy but
- sometimes I feel like -
I wanna' run away
- sometimes I feel like -
I've gotta' get away
- One day you will see -
Another side of me
- My life I command -
It's not the way that you planned
Leave me alone - leave me alone -
Leave me alone
Out on my own - out on my own -
Leave me alone
What do you want from me
Do you dream of a life
Your life through me
Myself, my time
In one we unite
I don't ever want to be
That girl you want me to be
- Sometimes I feel like -
I wanna' to run away
- Sometimes I feel like -
I've gotta' get away
- One day you will see -
Another side of me
- My life I command -
It's not the way that you planned
Leave me alone - leave me alone -
Leave me alone
Out on my own - out on my own -
Leave me alone
- One day you will see -
Another side of me
My life I command
It's not the way
It's not the way that you planned
Little Pain Inside
(Buck-O-Nine)
I realize I’m hungry
I recognize the pain in my gut
I don’t know where it comes from
Or what I’m gonna do about it
This little pain inside my tiny tummy
Souplantation, Fosters Freeze
In-N-Out, or Chuck E. Cheese
Burger King, or Taco Bell
All these restaurants sound so swell
That’s what I’m gonna do about it
This little pain inside my tiny tummy
Hamburger Helper on those days
When I sit home
And f*ing laze
And when my budget is kinda low
There’s only so many good places to go
That’s what I’m gonna do about it
This little pain inside my tiny tummy
See who else has signed my guestbook
