First song I'm going to learn when I get my guitar and do at an open mike night:

 

Lyrics to Bring Me Down :

(Miranda Lambert & Travis Howard)

 

Sweet like a kiss sharp like a razor blade

I find you when I' m close to the bottom

You cant appreciate the time it takes

To kick a love I always knew was kind of wrong

And as I'm putting out the flame

Somebody brings up you name

 

Oh oh oh oh

Baby baby baby bring me down

I want to be right where you are

Baby baby baby bring me down

You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Break my heart

 

Six AM unruffled pillow

Laughs out loud at my trusting heart

It's like I didn't see the penny

I missed the fountain by a couple yards

If you would only stay gone

Maybe I could move on

 

Oh oh oh oh

Baby baby baby bring me down

I want to be right where you are

Baby baby baby bring me down

You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Break my heart

 

OH! Baby baby baby bring me down

I want to be right where you are

Baby baby baby bring me down

You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Break my heart

 

OH! Baby baby baby bring me down

I want to be right where you are

Baby baby baby bring me down

You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Break my heart

 

Bring me down…

Nice!

 

I'd also written a song for my ex-fiancee. It was the first and last song that I'll write for her. She'd been bugging me for one for a long time for one. Couldn't have imagined that this is how she'll get one....

 

I haven't titled it yet.

 

Gaze into these tired eyes

Tried to find / The dreams with sight

Feel like a willow fly

It passed me by / These wings of mine

Hope. Hope let us carry on

For those who're strong / And those who're wrong

Time. Time changes everything

Everyone, anyone and me

 

Still, I don't remember

Just how I used to be

Still, I tried to remember

Just how I used to feel

 

I guess there's something you're lookin' for

Something you've been waitin' for

Something that you'll never find tonight.

[FeelingLonely98]

Too bad we couldn't be there to watch and support on your open mike nights!!

 

PEACE!

[Aksion]

Not exactly the 'nicest' song in the world, but its exactly how I feel about her.

 

Atmosphere - "F*** you Lucy"

 

She say that she still wants a friendship

She can't live her life without me as a friend

I can't figure out why I give a damn to what she wants

I don't understand the now before the then

Most of this garbage I write that these people seem to like

Is about you and how I let you infect my life

And if they got to know you, I doubt that they would see it

They'd wonder what I showed you how you could leave it

A friend in Chicago said that I should stay persistent

If I stay around I'm bound to break resistance

F*** you Lucy for defining my existence

F*** you and your differences

 

Ever since I was a young lad with a part-time dad

It was hard to find happiness inside of what I had

I studied my mother, I digested her pain

And vowed no women on my path would have to walk the same

Travel like sound across the fate ladder

I travel with spoon to mix this cake batter

And I travel with feels so I can deal with touch

It's like that, thank you very much, f*** you very much!

 

[Chorus]

(Yes, yes it is)

And everyone in his life would mistake it as love

Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

(Yes, yes it is)

And everyone in his life would mistake it as love

Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

 

 

F*** the "what happened?", I got stuck

They can peel pieces of me off the grill of her truck

Used to walk with luck, used to hold her hand

Fell behind then played the role of a slower man

I want to stand on top of this mountain and yell

I want to wake up and break up this lake of hell

I feel like a bitch for letting the she twist me up

The last starfighter is wounded, time to give it up

On a pick it up mission, kept it bitter

Gettin' in a million memories just to forget her

The difficulty in keepin' emotions controlled

Cookies for the road, took me by the soul

Hunger for the drama, hunger for the nurture

Gonna take it further, the hurt feels like murder

Interpret the eyes, read the lines on her face

The sunshine is fake, how much time did I waste?

F*** you Lucy for leaving me

F*** you Lucy for not needing me

I wanna say **** you because I still love you

No, I'm not okay, and I don't know what to do

 

 

 

Do I sound mad? Well I guess I'm a little pissed

Every action has a point, five points make a fist

You close 'em, you swing 'em, it's hurts when it hits

And the truth can be a b***h, but if the boot fits

I got an idea: You should get a tattoo that says "Warning"

That's all, just a warning, so the potential victim can take a left and save breath,

And avoid you, sober and upset in the morning

I wanna scream, "F*** you Lucy!"

But the problem is I love you Lucy

So instead I'ma finish my drink and have another

While you think about how you used to be my lover

[NopeNah]

Bad ass song,Aksion.. never heard of them..Thanks!

[trippi1432]

Wow! That is a good song....like it.

[NopeNah]

Try Jonny Lange-"walking away" it's a great song and pretty easy to learn on guitar.

I'm Over You"

 

Where there's a cloud, don't mean there's rain

Tears in my eyes, don't mean there's pain

Don't flatter yourself

I'm over you

 

Things aren't always what they seem

You can't believe everything you read

On my face

I'm over you

 

You heard i'm drinking more than i should

That i ain't been looking all that good

Someone told you i was taking it rough

Why they making those stories up

When i'm over you

 

There were times that if you'd been around

You would have seen me broken down

But now you won't

I'm over you

 

So if i seem a little bit cold

It only means you've lost the hold

You had on me

I'm over you

 

You heard i'm drinking more than i should

That i ain't been looking all that good

Someone told you i was taking it rough

But why they making those stories up

When i'm over you

 

You heard i'm drinking more than i should

That i ain't been looking all that good

Someone told you i was taking it rough

But why they making those stories up

When i'm over you

I'm over you

I'm over you

I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm a friend of thunder

Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me

I've fought with the devil

Got down on his level

But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

 

I'm no stranger to the rain

I can spot bad weather

And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour

I've been sacrificed by brothers

Crucified by lovers

But through it all I withstood the pain

I'm no stranger to the rain

 

But when I get that foggy feeling

When I'm feeling down

If I don't keep my head up, I may drown

But it's hard to keep believing

I'll even come out even

While the rain beats your hope in the ground

And tonight it's really coming down

 

I'm no stranger to the rain

But there'll always be tomorrow

And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine

And I'll put this cloud behind me

That's how the Man designed me

To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane

I'm no stranger to the rain

 

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

 

I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm a friend of thunder

Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me

But I'll put this cloud behind me

That's how the Man designed me

To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane

I'm no stranger to the rain

 

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

[Gunny376]

I've made a small fortune and you squandered it all

You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall

But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change

So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain.

 

Now you come to me with a simple goodbye

You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why

Now we're here at the station and you're getting on

And all I can think of is thank God and Greyhound you're gone

 

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone

I didn't know how much longer I could go on

Watching you take the respect out of me

Watching you make a total wreck out of me

That big diesel motor is a-playing my song

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.

 

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone

That load on my mind got lighter when you got on

That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight

With the black smoke a-rolling up around the taillight

It may sound kind-a cruel but I've been silent too long

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.

 

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone...

[Gunny376]

To this day, eighteen years after the fact the one song I cannot listen to, that still brings me to my knees ~

 

"When I Call your Name"

 

Its when I knew ~ It was over.

 

I rushed home from work like I always do

I spent my whole day just thinking of you

When I walked through the front door my whole life was changed

Cause nobody answered when I called your name

 

A note on the table that told me goodbye

It said you'd grown weary of living a lie

Your love has ended but mine still remains

But nobody answers when I call your name

 

Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling

Is driving me insane

And just like rain the tears keep falling

Nobody answers when I call your name

 

Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling

Is driving me insane

And just like rain the tears keep falling

Nobody answers when I call your name

Oh nobody answers when I call your name

[trippi1432]

Lyrics to Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong :

Wrong baby wrong baby wrong

It ain’t the end of the world

Don’t you worry pretty girl

Cause now that he’s gone baby gone baby gone

You got nothing to lose

Count the minutes if you want to

It won’t be long baby long baby long

‘Til you find somebody new

 

Come on now

Everyone falls down

Everyone crawls now and then

Then they get up again

You cry if you want to

That’s what we all do

But if you think you’ll never move on you’re wrong baby

 

Cry baby cry baby cry

Go on and let it all out

I ain’t leavin’ you now

And we can fly baby fly baby fly

Let’s share a bottle of wine

We can laugh about the good times

And you’ll know why baby why baby why

It’s gonna be alright

 

Come on now

Everyone falls down

Everyone crawls now and then

Then they get up again

You cry if you want to

That’s what we all do

But if you think you’ll never move on you’re wrong baby wrong

 

Oh you ain’t gone

baby wrong baby wrong

There’s nothing wrong with movin on

When you know he’s good and gone

 

Come on now

Everyone falls down

Everyone crawls now and then

Then they get up again

You cry if you want to

That’s what we all do

 

Come on now

Everyone falls down

Everyone crawls now and then

Then they get up again

You cry if you want to

That’s what we all do

But if you think you’ll never move on you’re wrong baby wrong

You’re wrong baby wrong

Wrong baby wrong baby wrong

[trippi1432]

Lyrics to Easy From Now On :

There he goes gone again

Same old story's gotta come to an end

Lovin' him was a one way street

But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet

 

It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town

Time for me to lay my heartaches down

Saturday night gonna make myself a name

Take a month of sundays to try and explain

 

It's gonna be easy to fill

The heart of a thirsty woman

Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man

And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky

It's gonna be easy

It's gonna be easy from now on

 

Raw as whip but clean as a bone

Soft to touch when you take me home

When the mornin' comes and it's time for me to leave

Don't worry 'bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve

 

It's gonna be easy to fill

The heart of a thirsty woman

Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man

And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky

It's gonna be easy, It's gonna be easy

It's gonna be easy from now on

[Aksion]

Not about a woman...but I've literally lost all sanity in recent weeks and these words seem to capture how my life has been..

 

Excerpt from Aesop Rock's "One of Four"

 

 

In August of 2001 my seemingly splinter-proof brain bone, scaffling imploded

I kept it on the hush, but nearly tumbling

to the cold hard concrete on near bodega trips

for ciggaretes and soda, shook me to kasper

Dizzy with a nothern chaser, motor sensory eraser

Gorophobe tunnel vision, guilt, self loathing arrangements

Rose rapidly outta bog I'd never fished in

that abates three separate foreign men's

While I seems to hook lines and syncro simple fishing

Simple primitive self taught, easing of soul, mind and body

but the symptoms rejected my cave-man modus operandi

So now it's one fish belly up, through medicated mol edge

Shrinks that get 250 an hour for awkward silence

And, I'd be lying if I said all of this

made even the slightest fragment of sense to me

That's frail... Simply put

I don't know what happened, or what's still happening

I literally feel like I'm teetering on the blunt edge of my sanity

[trippi1432]

To this day, eighteen years after the fact the one song I cannot listen to, that still brings me to my knees ~

 

"When I Call your Name"

 

Its when I knew ~ It was over.

 

I rushed home from work like I always do

I spent my whole day just thinking of you

When I walked through the front door my whole life was changed

Cause nobody answered when I called your name

 

A note on the table that told me goodbye

It said you'd grown weary of living a lie

Your love has ended but mine still remains

But nobody answers when I call your name

 

Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling

Is driving me insane

And just like rain the tears keep falling

Nobody answers when I call your name

 

Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling

Is driving me insane

And just like rain the tears keep falling

Nobody answers when I call your name

Oh nobody answers when I call your name

 

Wow, that summed up my first marriage.....

[trippi1432]

Very good song at exactly the right time....Reba is 'da bomb!!!

 

Verse: 1

Every time i turn the conversation to something deeper than the weather i can feel you all but shuttin' down.

And when i need an explanation for the silence you just tell me you don't wanna talk about it now.

 

Bridge: 1

What you're not saying is coming in loud and clear we're at a crossroads here...

 

Chorus:

If i'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose

If i'm not that arrow to the heart of you

If you don't get drunk on my kiss

If you think you can do better than this then i guess we're done

Let's not drag this on

Consider me gone

 

Verse 2:

With you i've always been wide open like a window or an ocean. there is nothing i've ever tried to hide.

So when you leave me not knowin' where you're goin' i start thinkin' that we're lookin' we're lookin' at goodbye.

 

Bridge 2:

How about a strong shot of honesty don't you owe that to me...

 

Chorus:

If i'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose

If i'm not that arrow to the heart of you

If you don't get drunk on my kiss

If you think you can do better than this then i guess we're done

Let's not drag this on

Consider me gone.

 

Consider me a memory.

Consider me the past.

Consider me a smile in an old photograph someone who used to make you laugh.

 

If i'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose

If i'm not that arrow to the heart of you

Then i guess we're done let's not drag this on.

Consider me gone.

Consider me gone.

Consider me gone.

Just consider me gone.

[trippi1432]

Lyrics to Better Off Alone :

One thing I'm wonderin'

When you run out of friends

Will you be coming back home?

 

Let's think this through again

Let's take a different spin

Why can't I leave you alone?

 

Somewhere tonight, you may be found

With some other girl you've been draggin' around

You lie to yourself, and you lie to me

It seems like the truth is your worst enemy

 

Cause baby I'm tired, tired of the fight

I'm tired of the lonely days and the dark endless nights

It's taken some time, cause I didn't know

If I could ever let you go

You helped me figure it out

I'm better off alone

I'm better off alone

 

I may be found, somewhere tonight

Cursing the day you walked into my life

What's done is done, I can't change time

But I'll be damned if I'm not gonna try

Oh I'm gonna try

 

Baby I'm tired, tired of the fight

I'm tired of the lonely days and the dark endless nights

It's taken some time, cause I didn't know

If I could ever let you go

You helped me figure it out

I'm better off alone

 

But every now and then, my heart gives in

To the hope that someday you'll change

Then alone I'll wake, to my own mistakes

That it's just a foolish game

 

I'm tired, tired of the fight

I'm tired of the lonely lonely lonely days and the dark endless nights

You didn't think, cause you didn't know

That I'd find the strength to let, let you go

I finally figured it out

I'm better off alone

I'm better off alone

 

One thing before I go

Something I've got to know

Boy, did you ever love me?

 

[trippi1432]

Ok, if I had heard this one about 6 weeks ago...it would have had me crying for days.....it's an appropriate song for how I used to feel about my ex.

 

Lyrics to Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You :

I remember the way you made love to me

Like I was all you'd ever need

Did you change your mind

Well I didn't change mine

Now here I am trying to make sense of it all

We were best friends now we don't even talk

You broke my heart

Ripped my world apart

 

Didn't you know how much I loved you

Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby

I gave you everything, every part of me

Didn't you feel it when I touched you

Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby

Baby, tell me

Didn't you know how much I loved you

 

I can't get you out of my head

I still feel you in this bed

Left me all alone

You couldn't be more gone

From falling apart to fighting mad

From wanting you back to not giving a damn

I've felt it all

I've been to the wall

 

Didn't you know how much I loved you

Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby

I gave you everything, every part of me

Didn't you feel it when I touched you

Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby

Baby, tell me

Didn't you know how much I loved you

 

One day justice will come and find you

And I'll be right there in your memory to remind you

 

Didn't you know how much I loved you

Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby

I gave you everything, every part of me

Didn't you feel it when I touched you

Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby

Baby, tell me

 

Didn't you know how much I loved you

Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby

I gave you everything, every part of me

Didn't you feel it when I touched you

Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby

Baby, tell me

I gave you everything, every part of me

[trippi1432]

Tonight the sunset means so much

The one thing that you know you never touch

Like the feeling, the real thing

I reach out for the sweet dream

But somehow the darkness wakes me up

Well I felt this emptiness before

But all the times that I've been broken

I still run right back for more

 

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now

You'd think that I'd somehow figure out

That if you strike that match

You're bound to feel the flames

You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love

And paid that price long enough

But still I drive myself right through the pain

Well it turns out

I haven't learned a thing

 

Oh yeah

 

Sometimes I think I'm better off

To turn out the lights and close up shop

And give up the longing, believing

And belonging

Just hold down my head and take the loss

 

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now

You'd think that I'd somehow figure out

That if you strike that match

You're bound a feel the flames

You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love

And paid that price long enough

But still I drive myself right through the pain

Well it turns out

I haven't learned a thing

 

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now

You'd think that I'd somehow figure out

That if you strike that match

You're bound to feel the flames

You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love

And paid that price long enough

But still I drive myself right through the pain

Yeah, well it turns out

I haven't learned a thing

 

I haven't learned a thing

I haven't learned, haven't learned

I haven't learned a thing

[trippi1432]

(Hillary Lindsey/Troy Verges)

 

This is the window to my heart

I just want you to be free

There ain't no freedom where we are

Ain't no wishes in these stars

Ain't no reason to believe

But don't worry baby, don't you worry

Maybe this is what we need

A little bruising, a little bleeding

Some space that we can breathe in

Some silence in between

 

So cry for me baby, and I'll cry for you

And we'll both break down and we'll both break through

We'll find our way and we'll face the truth

And we both will be stronger

And we'll lie down in our loneliness

And wake up with our sad regrets

And even though we don't know it yet

We both will be stronger

We both will be stronger

 

I can't believe you're really gone now

But I know it's for the best

And I know that we weren't right

But I still reach for you each night

And man that hurts like hell

 

So cry for me baby, and I'll cry for you

And we'll both break down and we'll both break through

We'll find our way and we'll face the truth

And we both will be stronger

And we'll lie down in our loneliness

And wake up with our sad regrets

And even though we don't know it yet

We both will be stronger

We both will be stronger

 

This is the window to my heart

I just want us to be free

Baby I'm sorry for the way things are

Goodbye is always hard

And we both will be stronger

[tojaz]

This pretty much sums up the last few days for me. does it ever end.

Need You Now lyrics

 

 

Picture perfect memories

Scattered all around the floor.

Reaching for the phone cause,

I can't fight it anymore.

 

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.

For me it happens all the time.

 

It's a quarter after one.

I'm all alone and I need you now.

Said I wouldn't come, but I lost all control

And I need you now.

And I don't know how I can do without,

I just need you now.

 

Another shot of whiskey,

Can't stop looking at the door.

Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.

 

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.

For me it happens all the time.

 

It's a quarter after one.

I'm a little drunk and I need you now.

Said I wouldn't call,

But I lost all control and I need you now.

And I don't know how I can do without,

I just need you now.

 

(Whoa Whoa)

 

Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.

 

It's a quarter after one.

I'm all alone and I need you now.

And I said I wouldn't call,

But I'm a little drunk and I need you now.

And I don't know how I can do without,

I just need you now.

 

I just need you now.

Oh baby I need you now

Lyrics to All We'd Ever Need :

Boy it’s been all this time

And I can’t get you off my mind

And nobody knows it but me

 

I stare at your photograph

Still sleep in the shirt you left

And nobody knows it but me

 

Everyday I wipe my tears away

So many nights I’ve prayed for you to say

 

Chorus

I should’ve been chasing you

I should’ve been trying to prove

That you were all that mattered to me

I should’ve said all the things that I kept inside of me

And maybe I could’ve made you believe

That what we had was all we’d ever need

 

My friends think I’m moving on

But the truth is I’m not that strong

And nobody knows it but me

 

And I’ve kept all the words you said

In a box underneath my bed

And nobody knows it but me

 

But if you’re happy I’ll get through somehow

But the truth is that I’ve been screaming out

 

Repeat Chorus

 

I should’ve been chasing you

You should’ve been trying to prove

That you were all that mattered to me

Oh you should’ve said all the things

That I kept inside of me

And maybe you could’ve made me believe

That what we had girl

Oh that what we had, what we had

It was all we’d ever need

It was all we’d ever need

You could've been the real one

You could've been the one enough for me

You could've been the free one

(the broken down and sick one)

Remnant of a vacant life

 

You come around when you find me faithless

You come around when you find me faceless

**** me like you hate me

(dig it up and tear it down)

Dig it up and whore me out

**** me like you hate me

(dig it up and tear it down)

I love the sound when you come undone

 

You could've been the next one

(God only knows)

You could've been the one to comprehend me

You could've been the only one

(the broken down and sick one)

You could've been the one who i lie with

 

You come around when you finally face this

You come around when you find me faceless

**** me like you hate me

(dig it up and tear it down)

Dig it up and whore me out

**** me like you hate me

(dig it up and tear it down)

Don't make a sound 'til I come undone

 

You'll never break me

You'll never break me

You'll never break me

 

You could've been the real one

You could've been the last one I'd lie with

You could've been the old one

I should've been the one who died

 

You come around when you finally face this

You come around when you find me faceless

**** me like you hate me

(dig it up and tear it down)

Dig it up and whore me out

**** me like you hate me

(dig it up and tear it down)

I love the sound when you come undone

**** me like you hate me

(**** you like you hate me)

**** me like you hate me

(you'll never break me)

**** me like you hate me

(dig it up, tear it down)

You'll come around when you find me faceless

[Aksion]

Tojaz -- didn't notice you posted it. Heard that song the other day -- was mid-day, and I was drinking. Damn music, I went from being in a decent mood to breaking down completely.
