I feel like the flowers in this vase,

He just brought em' home one day,

"Ain't they beautiful" he said.

They've been here in the kitchen and the water's turnin' grey.

They're sittin' in the vase but now they're dead.

Dead flowers.

 

I feel like this long string of lights.

They lit up our whole house on christmas day.

But now it's January and the bulbs have all burned out,

But still they hang.

Like dead flowers.

 

He ain't feelin' anything

My love, my hurt, or the

sting of this rain.

I'm livin' in a hurricane.

All he can say is,

"Man ain't it such a nice day"

Yeah, Yeah.

 

I feel like the

tires on this car.

They said we won't go far

but we're still rollin'

I look in the rear view

and I see dead flowers in the yard

and that string of lights.

But and it ain't glowin'

Like dead flowers.

Like dead flowers.

 

He ain't feelin' anything

My love, my hurt, or the

sting of this rain.

I'm drivin' through a hurricane.

All he can say is,

"Man ain't it such a nice day"

Hey, hey I guess we'll just

go a ways, like dead flowers.

 

Like dead flowers.

Dead flowers.[/sIZE][/sIZE][/FONT]

Band of Horses- No One's Gonna Love You

 

It's looking like a limb torn off

Or altogether just taken apart

We're reeling through an endless fall

We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

 

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do

 

And anything to make you smile

It is a better side of you to admire

But they should never take so long

Just to be over then back to another one

 

and no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do

 

But someone,

They could have warned you

When things start splitting at the seams and now

The whole thing's tumbling down

Things start splitting at the seams and now

If things start splitting at the seams and now,

It's tumbling down

Hard.

 

Do anything to make you smile

You are the ever-living ghost of what once was

Don't ever want to hear you say

That you'd be better off

Or you liked it that way

And no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

no one's gonna love you more than I do

 

But someone

They should have warned you

When things start splitting at the seams and now

The whole thing's tumbling down

Things start splitting at the seams and now

If things start splitting at the seams and now,

It's tumbling down

Hard

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.

 

I know what you mean. That damn Garth Brooks song kills me every single time!

"Love Your Memory": Miranda Lambert

 

I don't want to see you or feel you

I don't want to look into your eyes

I don't want to touch you or miss you

I just want to love your memory tonight

 

I can't handle all this pain

All we ever do is fight anyway

Why we even tried I haven't a clue

With hearts involved there's way too much to loose

 

I don't want to see you or feel you

I don't want to look into your eyes

I don't want to touch you or miss you

I just want to love your memory tonight

 

You were something else to look at

Your intentions they weren't' all bad

You tried to make me something I wasn't

Lord knows there aint no future in all that

 

I don't want to see you or feel you

I don't want to look into your eyes

I don't want to touch you or miss you

I just want to love your memory tonight

 

[tojaz]

Awww, trippi, that one always brings me to tears, a little close to home.

Usher - Papers

 

I can't, get to work on time, can't believe the words to her I just said

But who the hell argue n fight like dogs at 6 in the morning?(in the mornin)

I know it's gonna' be some more sh** tonight mm oooh

Our pastor's callin, tellin me I done went too far in

I'm seen around town and my friends can't recognize me,

'Cuz I took a chance on love, it's like, I'm dyin(ooh dyin)

 

Chorus:

For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world

'Cause you were my girl, girl, girl

I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama

I done turned into the man that I never thought I'd be.

 

I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers

I done took all I can take but u leave me no options girl

I can't deny how much I love you, I done gave up errthing I had to

As hard as it is I'm affraid I gotta say

I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers

I done took all I can take but u leave me no options girl

 

Ooh! OoOOooh! Ooh! Papers

Ooh! OoOOooh! Ooh! Papers

 

Vrs 2:

I'm losin my mind, can't figure out who's wrong or right

I know it's you I love, but then I also know it's you I don't like

You claim you hate who I was, but that's the reason you here now

You think I don't know what's up, but sweetheart that's what ruined us

I ain't afraid to say I got needs

But the only time you here for me is when the bottles poppin' and everything is sweet

But I I'm tired of sleeping in the other room spending them long nights

Trying to figure out what in the hell in my heart I ain't do right.

 

Chorus

[trippi1432]

I'm losin my mind, can't figure out who's wrong or right

I know it's you I love, but then I also know it's you I don't like

You claim you hate who I was, but that's the reason you here now

You think I don't know what's up, but sweetheart that's what ruined us

 

Wow, I can totally relate to that part of that verse.

Me too. I'm not a big Usher fan, but those lyrics really hit home.

OK - WTF - These are almost all country songs. I never listen to country. Not becuase I have anything against it. Just that I've always listened to rock, some pop, oldies, R&B, ...

 

I think I'm gonna have to get some country songs, eh?

Miranda L. Reba M. Garth B. any other suggestions?

 

Maybe I should just go to the country bar, start drinking and actual listen to the lyrics, huh?

[Aksion]

I can't really listen to country right now as I always seem to really lose it when I do. The day my wife left I actually played "Neon Moon" repeatedly during my 1/2 gal of Beam. Just too much heartbreak in country. I posted a song earlier called "**** you Lucy" by Atmoshpere, that one gets me through the rough patches. However that Usher song really does relate to many of us.

I listened to my REO Speedwagon GH cd when I finally realized I was moving on from my STBXW. (about 30 days after she dropped the bomb on me.)

 

"Time for Me to Fly"

"Back on the Road Again"

"Take It on the Run"

"Ridin' the Storm Out"

[FeelingLonely98]

"Time for Me to Fly" (REO Speedwagon)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ive been around for you

Ive been up and down for you

But I just cant get any relief

Ive swallowed my pride for you

Ive lived and lied for you

But you still make me feel like a thief

 

You got me stealin your love away

cause you never give it

Peeling the years away

And we cant relive it

I make you laugh

And you make me cry

I believe its time for me to fly

 

You said wed work it out

You said that you had no doubt

That deep down we were really in love

Oh, but Im tired of holding on

To a feeling I know is gone

I do believe that Ive had enough

 

Ive had enough of the falseness

Of a worn out relation

Enough of the jealousy

And the intoleration

I make you laugh

And you make me cry

I believe its time for me to fly

 

{refrain} time for me to fly

Oh, Ive got to set myself free

Time for me to fly

And thats just how its got to be

I know it hurts to say goodbye

But its time for me to fly

 

Oh, dont you know its...

{refrain}

 

Its time for me to fly

[FeelingLonely98]

Take It on the Run (REO Speedwagon)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heard it from a friend who

Heard it from a friend who

Heard if from another you been messin' around

They say you got a boyfriend

You're out late every weekend

They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

But I know the neighborhood

And talk is cheap when the story is good

And the tales grow taller on down the line

But I'm telling you, babe

That I don't think it's true, babe

And even if it is keep this in mind

 

(refrain)

You take it on the run baby

If that's the way you want it baby

Then I don't want you around

I don't believe it

Not for a minute

You're under the gun so you take it on the run

 

You're thinking up your white lies

You're putting on your bedroom eyes

You say you're coming home but you won't say when

But I can feel it coming

If you leave tonight keep on running

And you need never look back again

 

(Refrain x3)

 

Heard it from a friend who

Heard it from a friend who

Heard if from another you been messin' around

[trippi1432]

Ok, fine, let's jump outta of the pity party of country music and get into some angst.....(evil grin)

 

"You Oughta Know"

 

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me

Is she perverted like me

Would she go down on you in a theatre

Does she speak eloquently

And would she have your baby

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

 

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, till you died

But you're still alive

 

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

 

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you **** her?

 

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, til you died

But you're still alive

 

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

 

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me

And I'm not gonna fade

As soon as you close your eyes and you know it

And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back

I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

 

Well, I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

OK, I can play outside the box

 

[FONT=Verdana][sIZE=5][sIZE=2]"Junk Of The Hearts"

 

We never chose to part

in this stupid play

I never felt by heart

that I could behave

the way the roles were made

 

I know that I've done you wrong

but you're hard to please

When your faith is gone

and when you can't believe

I'm on my hands and knees

 

The junk of the hearts

 

I've given all of me

and you crave for more

Weird how this makes us feel

insecure

that's what friends are for

 

[/sIZE][/sIZE][/FONT]

[trippi1432]

You and me

We used to be together

Everyday together always

I really feel

That I'm losing my best friend

I can't believe

This could be the end

It looks as though you're letting go

And if it's real

Well I don't want to know

 

Don't speak

I know just what you're saying

So please stop explaining

Don't tell me cause it hurts

Don't speak

I know what you're thinking

I don't need your reasons

Don't tell me cause it hurts

 

Our memories

Well, they can be inviting

But some are altogether

Mighty frightening

As we die, both you and I

With my head in my hands

I sit and cry

 

Don't speak

I know just what you're saying

So please stop explaining

Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)

Don't speak

I know what you're thinking

I don't need your reasons

Don't tell me cause it hurts

 

It's all ending

I gotta stop pretending who we are...

You and me I can see us dying...are we?

 

Don't speak

I know just what you're saying

So please stop explaining

Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)

Don't speak

I know what you're thinking

I don't need your reasons

Don't tell me cause it hurts

Don't tell me cause it hurts!

I know what you're saying

So please stop explaining

 

Don't speak,

don't speak,

don't speak,

oh I know what you're thinking

And I don't need your reasons

I know you're good,

I know you're good,

I know you're real good

Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la

Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'

Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush

don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'

Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

"I'm Not Gonna Beg"

 

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing

I'm not gonna beg you for your love

 

Straight talk, give me the straight talk

Tell me what's on your mind if it ain't love

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing

I'm not gonna beg you for your love

 

Scared now, what are you scared of?

Afraid I might fall on my knees and break down?

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing

I'm not gonna beg you for your love

 

Don't you think you can take me for a pretty little ride

I know "once upon a time" and "ever after" is a lie

I'm not gonna beg

I'm not gonna beg

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing at all

 

There's nothing I want from you

Nothing you can say or do

There is nothing I want for you say anyway

 

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing

I'm not gonna beg you for your love

[/sIZE][/sIZE][/FONT]

[trippi1432]

Good one!! Forgot about Natalie Merchant.

[trippi1432]

Of all the things I believe in

I just want to get it over with

tears from behind my eyes

but I do not cry

Counting the days that past me by

 

I've been searching deep down in my soul

Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old

Looks like I'm starting all over again

The last three years were just pretend and I say

 

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I love

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

 

I still get lost in your eyes

And it seems like I can't live a day without you

Closing my eyes till 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 I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

 

Ohhh yeah

It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time

I want whats yours and I want whats mine

I want you but I'm not giving in this time

 

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought 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

 

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

 

We the stars fall and I lie awake

Your my shooting star

 

[trippi1432]

Now, don't just walk away

Pretending everything's okay

And you don't care about me

 

And I, know it's just no use

When all your lies become your truths

And I don't care, yeah yeah yeah

 

Could you look me in the eye

And tell me that you're happy now?

Oooh ooh ooh

Would you tell it to my face

Or have I been erased,

Are you happy now...

Are you happy now?

 

You, took all there was to take

And left me with an empty plate

And you don't care about it

Yeah...

 

And I, am giving up this game

And leaving you with all the blame

'Cause I dont care, yeah yeah yeah

 

Could you look me in the eye

And tell me that you're happy now?

Oooh ooh ooh

Would you tell it to my face

Or have I been erased,

Are you happy now...

Ooooh ooh ooh ooh

Are you happy now...

Are you happy now...

Yeah yeah yeah

 

Do you really have everything you want?

You can never give something you ain't got

You can't run away from yourself

 

Could you look me in the eyes

And tell me that you're happy now

Yeah yeah yeah

 

C'mon tell it to my face or have I been erased

Are you happy now?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oooh whoa

Yeah yeah ooh whoa

Would you look me in the eye?

Could you look me in the eye?

 

I've had all that I can take and I'm about to break

'Cause you're happy now

Are you happy now?

Love the voice on this one.

JEM- Missing You

 

 

 

 

 

(In loving memory of PJ Matthews)

 

I wish this could be

a happy song

But my happiness disappeared

the moment you were gone

Don't think I ever believed that

this day would come

Now all I'm feeling

is lost and numb

 

And ohhh I know I promised

Mmmm that I would try

 

But I, yes I, miss you

and it's killing inside

 

I'll always be thankful

for the time we had

We were blessed

I should celebrate

but I feel too sad

All the wonderful memories

just make me fall apart

And it feels like somebody's

stabbed me in my heart

 

And ohhh I know I promised

Mmmm that I wouldn't cry

 

But I, yes I, miss you

and it's killing inside

Ooh well I, yes I, miss you

want you by my side

 

Walking, holding hands

Talking, making plans

Touching my heart my soul

 

I wish this could be

a happy song

But my happiness disappeared

the moment you were gone

Tell me it's not happening

Say it's not as it seems

Tell me that I'm gonna wake up

It's just a bad dream

Please tell me that it's fiction

Tell me it's just a lie

Whatever you choose to tell me

Please say he didn't die

 

And I, yes I, miss you

and it's killing inside

Ooh well I, yes I, miss you

want you by my side

Ooh well I, miss you

want you by my side

Back here by my side

Here by my side
