First, let me recap the year.

	Recalling the days forever lost before Alain signed up, back in high school.
The Killers - Mr. Brightside (November)
	Continually having to force a smile for the world.
Brand New - Am I Wrong (December)
	Am I doing anything right with my life.

Now then, on with the show.  The song of 2005 (which has to be one of those twelve) is...

The Honorary Title - Everything I Once Had

REASON:
I really do feel like I've lost everything I once had.  At the start of last year, I had a job.  I had a girl.  I had my 
best friend.  I had my friends at school.  I had everything I could want, and life was the best it had ever been.  Now, at 
the end of January, 2006, I'm unemployed.  My best friend is 1000 miles away, and I don't have any friends at school.  In 
fact, I only count about ten friends total, and that's a quick guess.  Things are starting to look up a bit though...  I 
just hope that I can hold onto it all this time around.  Truth is, I'm praying that I get into one of the two colleges I'm 
applying at, preferably DigiPen.  I want to start a new life, try again, and not have any regret.  Sure, I'd miss my 
friends around here, but I've got a few others in far away places.  Here's hoping for a new year.

LYRICS:

Everything I
You were everything I
Once had

The bar on first avenue
We went there solely for you
So you could flirt with my best friend
Kiss a girl and tell me why you're laughin'
I won't hold on
I can't hold on
To this

There's a hole
In the trust that we
Mapped out in my bed
For six long months
There's a hole
In the trust that we
Mapped out in my bed...
For six long months...
For six long months...
Well I won't hold on...
To this...

February, Valentine's Day,
Did my best to avoid the red cliché
So you dumped me on the subway
On my way to work at nine in the morning
Everybody else is holding bouquets
Now I'm holding my face in the basement
Scratching away for any trace
Of affection you will leave
Falling victim to the publics prey
Well I won't hold on
No I can't hold on
I won't hold on
To this

There's a hole
In the trust that we
Mapped out in my bed
For six long months
There's a hole
In the trust that we
Mapped out in my bed...
There's a hole
In the trust that we
Mapped out in my bed
For six long months		[I won't hold onto this!]
There's a hole			[Anyone]
In the trust that we		[Is suitable]
Mapped out in my bed		[For you, I]
For six long months		[For you, I guess, tonight]
There's a hole			[Anyone]
In the trust that we		[Is suitable]
Mapped out in my bed...		[For you, I guess]
				[You were unfazed]
				[It's over with]
				[You my beautiful]
				[You were unfazed]
				[It's over with]
				[You my beautiful]
				[Your beautiful blue and white]
				[Your beautiful blue and white]
