INXS – “Never Tear Us Apart"

 

Don't ask me

What you know is true

Don't have to tell you

I love your precious heart

 

I

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never tear us apart

 

We could live

For a thousand years

But if I hurt you

I'd make wine from your tears

 

I told you

That we could fly

'Cause we all have wings

But some of us don't know why

 

I

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never ever tear us apart

[trippi1432]

Last song....found this today by a really great artist....she's making her comeback again. If you can make it thru this song without crying....you're on your way.

You Don't Have To Remind Me ~ Sass Jordan

Wind blows thru this empty room

Like blood from an open wound

Shut my eyes - I don't wanna see

Outside there's a big parade

Some girl - She got it made

Things change in the time it takes to breathe

But I can't stand to see her hands on you

Cause you were my religion too

 

You don't have to remind me

I don't need you to bring it home

You don't have to remind me

Cause every night - I sleep alone

 

My friends all say I got nothin' to lose

So what if I can pick and choose

Those substitutes - They're just a waste of my time

So here I sit in this lonely room

Just me and a lover's moon

Funny how love can be so unkind

Sometimes I wish I could forget the past

Cause I can't stand to see it last

 

You don't have to remind me

I don't need you to bring it home

You don't have to remind me

Cause every night - I sleep alone

 

I know there's people who can walk upon the water

So how come I'm sinking like a storm?

You part the sea - Then you walk away from me

I don't know how much longer I can breathe

 

You don't have to remind me

I don't need you to bring it home

You don't have to remind me

Cause every night - I sleep alone

[Boundary Problem]

I think this song describes the helplessness some of us feel when we wish we could wave a magic wand and make all the pain go away for someone special, but we just can't. So all we can do is sit and hold their hand.

 

"Her Diamonds"

 

Oh what the hell she said

I just can't win for losing

And she lays back down

Man there's so many times

I don't know what I'm doing

Like I don't know now

 

By the light of the moon

She rubs her eyes

Says it's funny how the night

Can make you blind

I can just imagine

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

But if she feels bad then i do too

So I let her be

 

And she says oh

I can't take no more

Her tears like diamonds on the floor

And her diamonds bring me down

Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it

She tried her best but now she can't win it

Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down

 

She sits down and stares into the distance

And it takes all night

And i know i could break her concentration

But it don't feel right

 

By the light of the moon

She rubs her eyes

Sits down on the bed and starts to cry

And there's something less about her

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

So I sit down and I cry too

And don't let her see

 

And she says oh

I can't take no more

Her tears like diamonds on the floor

And her diamonds bring me down

Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it

She tried her best but now she can't win it

Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down

 

She shuts out the night

Tries to close her eyes

If she can find daylight

She'll be alright

She'll be alright

Just not tonight

 

And she says oh

I can't take no more

Her tears like diamonds on the floor

And her diamonds bring me down

Cause I can't help her now

She's down in it

She tried her best but now she can't win it

Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down

Great song Boundry Problems

[Boundary Problem]

To me this song sets out how we can have new beginnings and that we learn from our pain. I just went for a walk in sunshine and just went over in my mind all the things I'm grateful for in my life (and there are many). And now I just got some great news via phone. So I really do feel that my life is beginning again.

 

 

So I found a reason

To stay alive

To try a little harder

See the other side

Talking to myself

Too many sleepless nights

Trying to find a reason

To this stupid life

Don't want your sympathy

Sometimes I don't know who to be

Hey, what you're looking for

No-one knows the answer

They just want more

 

Hey, who's gonna make it right

This could be the first day of my life

So I found a reason

To let it go

Tell you that I'm smiling

But I still need to grow

Will I find salvation

In the arms of love

Will it stop me searching

Will it be enough

Don't want your sympathy

Sometimes I don't know who to be

Hey, what you're looking for

 

No-one knows the answer

But you just want more

Hey, who's gonna make it right

This could be the first day of my life

The first time to really feel alive

The first time to break the chain

The first time to walk away from pain

Hey, what you're looking for

No-one has the answer

They just want more

 

Hey, who's gonna make it right

This could be the first day of my life

Hey, what you're looking for

No-one has the answer

They just want more

Hey, who's gonna shine a light

This could be the first day of my life

OK - It's a little sappy. But it really is true for all of us. It will get better! (I'm actually almost happy these days!!!)

[COLOR=#000000]Better In Time – Leona Lewis[/COLOR]

 

[COLOR=#000000]It's been the longest winter without you

I didn't know where to turn to

See somehow I can't forget you

After all that we've been through

 

Going coming thought I heard a knock

Who's there no one

Thinking that I deserve it

Now I realize that I really didn't know

If you didn't notice

you mean everything

Quickly I'm learnin'

To love again

All I know is

I'm gon' be ok

 

Thought I couldn't live without you

It's gonna hurt when it heals too

It'll all get better in time

And even though I really love you

I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to

It'll all get better in time

 

I couldn't turn on the TV

Without something that'd remind me

Was it all that easy

To just put aside your feelings

 

If I'm dreaming

Don't wanna let that hurt my feelings

But that's the path I've been living

And I know that time will heal it

If you didn't notice boy you meant everything

Quickly I'm learning to love again

All I know is I'm gon' be ok

 

Thought I couldn't live without you

It's gonna hurt when it heals too

It'll all get better in time

Even though I really love you

I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to

It'll all get better in time

 

Since there's no more you and me

It's time I let you go so I can be free

And live my life how it should be

No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you

Yes I will

 

Thought I couldn't live without you

It's gonna hurt when it heals too

It'll all get better in time

And even though I really love you

I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to

It'll all get better in time[/COLOR]

Not really a song more like a poem, but I guess it could be made into one.

 

December Tears

December comes,

December goes.

My soul grows cold,

as the wind blows.

Months go by,

but December is the time

When your feelings,

finally matched mine

Why I cannot let you go

Only December knows

The snow falls

and I can only make out your face

This December chill,

reminds me of your embrace

The night is silent,

still I hear you whisper

A shiver down my spine,

December gets crisper

Winter memories I could never replace

These December tears cease to erase

 

 

wrote it for my ex.

[FeelingLonely98]

Not really a song more like a poem, but I guess it could be made into one.

 

 

December Tears ...

 

 

 

Beautiful poem Katie...

Katie - I couldn't send you a PM about this for some reason. I was wondering what part of MD you live in? I've spent many Summers on the Eastern Shore near the city of Easton - the Talbot County area.

"Good enough" - Joe Budden

 

Wonder where his mind is

If everyone's impression is wrong then maybe mine is

Jury's out, but the verdict's in

Case ain't been heard, so how they murderin him?

I appear to be arrogant, that's what they instilled in me

Took it as a weakness when I showed 'em humility

Insensitive, don't waste time tryin to tell me

what emotions is - I'm emotionless

I can't explain it, it comes from home

Make me uncomfortable and you gon' put me in a comfort zone

Double is me, feel what I feel and know he's strugglin

Be tryin to get depression and sufferin from ME

When your head's cluttered with noise you get lost

Am I isolated by choice or by force?

Listen, the **** y'all expect from me?

Already given y'all the best of me

But it seems like!

 

 

Nothin's ever good enough

How 'bout he's just misunderstood to us

Vision is fine, I can still hear

So I pop one more 'til everything is unclear

Cause, just one wasn't good enough

Crushin it in rum wasn't good enough

The baddest girl wouldn't be good enough

All the cash in the world ain't good enough

I used to always try to be good enough

And couldn't figure out why I wasn't good enough

So instead of bein good enough

I just wanna be better, than good enough.

Do I..... Luke Bryan

 

Baby, what are we becoming

It feels just like we’re always running

Rolling through the motions everyday

I can lean in to hold you, or act like I don’t even know you

Seems like you could care less either way

What happened to that girl I used to know

I just want us back to the way we were before

 

Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby

Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy

Do I have your love, am I still enough

Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I baby

Give you everything that you ever wanted

Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely

Do I just need to give up and get on with my life

Baby, do I

 

Remember when we didn’t have nothing

But a perfect simple kind of loving

Baby those sure were the days

There was a time our love ran wild and free

But now I’m second guessing everything thing I see

 

Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby

Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy

Do I have your love, am I still enough

Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I baby

Give you everything that you ever wanted

Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely

Do I just need to give up and get on with my life

Baby, do I

 

Still give you what you need

Still take your breath away

Or light up the spark way down deep, baby do I

 

Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby

Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy

Do I have your love, am I still enough

Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I baby

Give you everything that you ever wanted

Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely

Do I just need to give up and get on with my life

 

Tell me baby do I get one more try

Do I, baby do I

AWESOME lyrics BP. Who sings it?

 

Garou - an incredibly talented singer. Very deep voice that resonates. He has another song called "Je suis le meme" meaning, I am the same. It is a song about a man who loves his woman, but she has gone cold, and he keeps saying "I'm the same". It is sort of a ballad - very compelling in that he keeps trying to talk to her and she won't even listen.

 

Here is my new favorite song: It is called The Dance by Garth Brooks. I like how it is about living your life, knowing sometimes there will be pain, but we have to believe life and happiness. We have to trust in love, or else we miss out on so much.

 

 

Lyrics to The Dance :

 

Looking back on the memory of

The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone

For a moment all the world was right

How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

 

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain

But I'd of had to miss the dance

 

Holding you I held everything

For a moment wasn't I a king

But if I'd only known how the king would fall

Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

 

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain

But I'd of had to miss the dance

 

Yes my life is better left to chance

I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

[tojaz]

Lie- David Cook

 

You whispered that you were getting tired

Got a look in your eye

Looks a lot like goodbye.

Hold on to your secrets tonight.

Don't want to know i'm ok with this silence

It's truth that i don't want to hear

 

You're hiding regret in your smile

There's a storm in your eyes that's been passing for awhile

Hold on to the past tense tonight

Don't say a word

I'm ok with the quiet.

The truth is gonna change everything.

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright

So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night

I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart

Look me in the eye

Lie lie lie.

Lie lie lie.

I know that there's no turning back.

If we put too much light on this we'll see through all the cracks.

Let's stay in the dark one more night.

Don't want to know i'm ok with the silence.

It's truth that i don't want to hear.

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright

So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night

I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart

So look me in the eye

And lie lie lie.

Don't want to believe in this ending

Let the cameras roll on

Keep pretending

Tomorrow's all wrong if you walk away

Just stay

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright

So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night

I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart

Look me in the eye

And lie lie lie.

So lie to me and tell me that we're gonna be ok

So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the day

I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart

Look me in the eye

And lie lie lie.

I hope this thread is flexible enough to allow my favorite children's story. I love reading this to my son, and he loves it to. But it is a metaphor and is what makes life so interesting.

 

A Monster Wrote Me A Letter

by Nick Bland

If you want the name of the publisher, just let me know.

 

 

The boy:

A monster wrote me a letter today.

He said he was coming to my house to play.

 

But waht if he's scary and won't go away?

What if the monster decides to STAY?

 

But a scary monster wouldn't write-

He'd come and scare me late at night.

This monster chap is so polite,

He might not even scratch or bite.

 

I wonder if he's green or blue,

And if his teeth are poking through.

There's only one thing left to do:

I'll have to write a letter too.

 

 

The monster:

A little boy wrote me a letter today.

He thinks that I'm going to his house to play.

There's been a mistake, but what can I say?

He expects me there on Saturday!

 

The letter that he must have read

Was meant for Monster Cousin Fred,

Who lives there underneath the bed.

Now I must meet the boy instead!

 

I've never met a kid before.

I must remember not to roar,

Or hide behind his bedroom door.

He'd send me home at once, for sure!

 

 

 

The boy:

What on earth do monsters eat?

Sloppy slugs and rotten meat?

 

I'll have to find a monster treat

Like codfish heads or lizard feet.

 

I'll put some prickles on the path,

And put piranhas in the bath.

I hope my voice is deep enough,

To grunt and groan instead of laugh.

 

 

 

The monster:

I'll have to wear a shirt that's white,

So I don't give the boy a fright.

I must remember not to bite,

Or creep around the house at night.

 

My fingernails will need a file.

I haven't bathed in quite a while.

I'll take a bath; I'll learn to smile;

I'll comb my hair in "people" style.

 

 

The boy:

I'll empty out the kitchen bin,

And make sure all the lights are dim.

I'll take the bowl the fish are in,

And fill it up with toads for him.

 

........

 

I taught him how to catch a ball...

And use the phone to make a call.

 

He taught me how to creep and crawl....

And eat an apple, core and all.

 

 

Now he's moved in beneath my bed

To live there with his cousin Fred.

And when I'm scared, the monsters said

To wake them up and chat instead.

 

 

 

I'm not frightened anymore,

Of monsters crouched behind the door.

But one thing that I know for sure,

Those monsters really love to snore!

"Learn My Lesson" ~ Daughtry

 

Tonight the sunset means so much

The one thing that you know you'll never touch

Like the feeling, the real thing

I reach out for that sweet dream

 

But somehow the darkness wakes me up

I've 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 the match

You're bound to feel the flame

 

You think that I'd learn the cost of love

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

 

Sometimes I think I'm better off

To turn out the lights and close up shop

And give up the longing, believing in 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 the match

You're bound to feel the flame

 

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

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

Better Days - Bruce Springsteen

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

Well my soul checked out missin' as I sat listenin'

To the hours and minutes tickin' away

Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin

While it was all just slippin' away

 

I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come

Or that train to come roarin' round the bend

I gotta new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose

And a woman I can call my friend

 

These are better days baby, yeah, there's better days shinin' through

These are better days baby, better days with a girl like you

 

Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss,

It's like eatin' caviar in the dirt

It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending,

A rich man in a poor man's shirt

 

Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon,

Your heart like a diamond shone

Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms

Out of these hardluck bones

 

These are better days baby, these are better days it's true

These are better days, there's better days shinin' through

 

Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure

Don't make much for tragedy

But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin

And can't stand the company

 

Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself

And turnin' his heart to stone

Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell

And I feel like I'm comin' home

 

These are better days baby, there's better days shinin' through

These are better days, better days with a girl like you

These are better days baby, these are better days it's true

These are better days, better days are shinin' through

[trippi1432]

Shinedown - Simple Man

 

Mama told me when I was young

Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say.

And if you do this

It will help you some sunny day.

Take your time... Don't live too fast,

Troubles will come and they will pass.

Go find a woman and you'll find love,

And don't forget son,

There is someone up above.

 

(Chorus)

And be a simple kind of man.

Be something you love and understand.

Be a simple kind of man.

Won't you do this for me son,

If you can?

 

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold

All that you need is in your soul,

And you can do this if you try.

All that I want for you my son,

Is to be satisfied.

 

(Chorus)

 

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.

Follow you heart and nothing else.

And you can do this if you try.

All I want for you my son,

Is to be satisfied.

 

(Chorus)

 

[trippi1432]

"Breaking Inside"

 

I caught a chill

and it's still frozen on my skin

I think about why

I'm alone, by myself

No one else to explain

how far do I go?

No one knows

If the end is so much better, why don't we just live forever?

Don't tell me I'm the last one in line

Don't tell me I'm too late this time

 

[Chorus]

I don't want to live

To waste another day

Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made

Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside

I don't want to fall and say I lost it all

'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall

Leaving pieces of me behind

And I feel like I'm breaking inside

 

Out here, nothings clear

Except the moment I decided to move on and I ignited

Disappear into the fear

You know there ain't no comin' back

When you're still carrying the past

You can't erase, separate

Cigarette in my hand,

Hope you all understand

 

I won't be the last one in line

I finally figured out what's mine

 

[Chorus]

I don't want to live

To waste another day

Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made

'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside

I don't want to fall and say I lost it all

'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall

Leaving pieces of me behind

Leaving pieces of me behind

And I feel like I'm breaking inside

 

I won't be the last one in line,

I finally figured out what's mine

 

[Chorus]

I don't want to live

To waste another day

Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made

'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside

I don't want to fall and say I lost it all

'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall

Leaving pieces of me behind

Leaving pieces of me behind

And I feel like I'm breaking inside

And I feel like I'm breaking,

I feel like i'm breaking inside

36 crazyfists- Destroy the Map

 

You couldn't hold your mouth to stop the sound,

with all these riches on the tip of your tongue,

and I was trying to dampen it all out.

 

You were talking louder than I should here,

producing nothing but all these mirrors,

and I was trying to play it all down.

 

With eyes of blood,

these kisses won't rust.

Where the baptized drown,

we used to breathe.

 

Underneath the red,

come running back to me.

 

Sad song, so wrong,

your body shakes for so long,

towing me down.

Let's just stay late,

a safe bet for second place.

This time, our time, we have, we'll last.

 

That evil, a brutal sickness brings,

at times you can't let go

it chases you from everything.

To settle for almost anything,

it's times like these

when you should only choose just not to speak.

 

And the clouds don't break when the sun is on empty.
