It hurts but it may be the only way.

And I’d give up forever to see the day
where the two of us both could
just walk away hand in hand

We’re meant to lose the people we love,

How else would we know how much they mean to us

I don’t know which way I’m
going, I don’t know which way I’ve come. Hold my head inside your
hands, I need someone who understands. I need someone, someone who
hears.. for you I’ve waited all these years.

Time takes it all away
The heartbreak you feel today
Well it won’t stay
Believe in karma,
What comes around
Goes the fuck around

Beginnings are usually scary & endings are usually sad, but it’s everything inbetween that makes life worth living.


Someday I will find the courage to embrace you.
Someday I will find the courage to erase you

You’re a fighter
but nobody can fight forever.
 Nobody.

i’ve been sleeping with the sunrise, watching hours pass away.
incidentally i’m just waiting for the dusk to kill the day.
but now i’m waiting for your call
while i bang on this piano like you care at all.

I lose myself in all these fights.

I lose my sense of wrong and right.

I cry, I cry. Shaking from the pain thats in my head.

I just wanna crawl into my bed,

& Throw away the life I led but I won’t let it die.

It’s NOT Over – Second Hand Serenade

I’ll never give myself to another the way I gave it to you.
You don’t even understand the ways you hurt me, do you?

     

I almost forgot about
everything, every little detail. But in two seconds of searing blue
eyes, I remember everything that we ever did, said, touched… all of
it.

Oh yes, the past can hurt. But, you can either run from it or, learn from it.
-The Lion King

We were young, we were wild, we were restless, had to go, had to fly, had to get away, took a chance on that feeling. Baby, we were lovin blind, borderline reckless. We were livin for the minute, spinning. Maybe we were alot of things, but we weren’t crazy. -Josh Gracin

It’s not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It’s just that
I think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic.
It’s the universe’s way of providing contrast, you know? There has to
be a few holes in the road, because that’s just how life is.

Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be
numb to it,
 because if we actually felt how much we loved them.. It
would kill us.
-Riding in Cars with Boys

If
you truly love somebody, you never really stop. You’ll move on, you’ll
try to replace, but there are always going to be times when you think
back to the times when you really felt alive.

If you love someone… you say it, right then, out loud.
Otherwise… the moment just passes you by.
-My Best Friend’s Wedding

Get back on
your feet, no more excuses. This is your chance, you don’t want to lose
this. Keep you head above the water, it will be alright, but don’t say
these things if you don’t mean them. My heart got tired, but it’s still
beating. If you feel it come on and sing it.


Nights and days I won’t forget. Sleeping on
my best friend’s floor, with everything to ask for.
Clear skies and sing-a-longs, I ask myself what
could go wrong. A thousand times I would
go back. You only have to ask.

I’d give it up for just one more day with you,
give it up, give it all away for you.

All the bridges you’ve burned
leave you trapped off at all sides
& now the tables do turn.
When it’s all gone what’s left for you?

When you fall
in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake,
and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make
a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become
so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should
ever part.

Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear.
You are someone else, I am still right here.

Change your mind.
You let go too soon.

I miss the look of surrender in your eyes.
The way your soft brown hair would fall.
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love.
Oh, but baby most of all. I miss my friend.
The one my heart and soul confided in.
The one I felt the safest with.
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
& let the light back in. I miss my friend.

You can be
anywhere when your life begins.
You meet the right person and
anything is possible.
-Crazy/Beautiful

It’s been some lonely nights since you been gone.
Been some bitter fights, yes some bad times.
But I’d forgive the one that broke me,
I’d gladly open the door for you again.

I’m beginning
to think that maybe it’s not just how much you love someone.
Maybe what matters is who you are when you’re with them

I wish I had it in me to let you lie again.
Too bad I learned to look past your bull shit.

I try to kill it all away, but I remember everything. What have I become, my sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away in the end.  & you could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt.
. -Johnny Cash

Just another step, til I reach the door. You’ll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you this way. I wish I could tell you something to take it all away. Sometimes I wish I could save you.

So destroy me dear. I’ve gotten so good at breaking with a smile on my face. Come on baby, show me you’re just like all of them. Boys prove me right everytime. They’re all the same.

Boy you sure looked good there standing in the doorway in the sunset light. Maybe I read you wrong thinking you could be my mister right. I was putting my heart and soul on the line, you said you needed time just a little more time to make up your mind. Well, it’s been long enough. Time is up.

I’ve got pride, I’m taking it for a ride.
Bye, bye my baby. Bye, bye.

There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life. It’s just another turn on the road of life that we all must take.

What did you expect me to do, just sit around and wait for you.
Well I’m through watching you just skate around the truth.
I’ve seen the light.

Oh, it’s taken so long. I could be wrong, I could be ready.
If I take my hearts advice, I should asume it is unsteady. I’m in repair.

If there’s a hole in your heart, you gotta pull it together.
It takes the courage to start, but now is better than ever.
It takes a push & a shove, somehow it’s never enough.
It’s alarming how quick you could forget that
Nothing’s bigger than love.

Question: How do you deal with having to let someone go? Do you think you ever really get over someone? Feel free to put what ever.

You are what you love,
not what loves you.

I love you
without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you
straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because
I know no other way.

They say the first time will never last,
but that didn’t stop me the first time he laughed.
My friends tried to warn me the day that we met,
girl don’t you lose your heart yet.
But his dark eyes dared me with danger
& sparks flied like flames to a paper
Fire in his touch burning me up
still i held on cause
i was already
gone.

His words were fists, pounding my belly,
snatching the air from my lungs.
I couldn’t talk, couldn’t breathe,
so how could I answer?
He turned his back, walked away,
&& I wanted to die right there
-impulse

It’s four in
the morning and I’m turning in my bed.
I wish I had a dream or a
nightmare in my head,
so I drop my imagination and get some sleeping
done.
Now it’s five in the morning and I’m wishing it was one.

You
pulled me under, if I had to give in.
Such a beautiful myth, that’s
breaking my skin.
Well I’ll hide all the bruises,
I’ll hide all the
damage that’s done.
But I show how I’m feeling until all the feeling
has gone.

I take
a walk and you are running through my mind.
Where are you now?
Do you
have everything you were looking for?
Everything that wasn’t me.

In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again.
Some you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder
if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you
never had to think about again; but you do.

If you are
feeling down, you know I feel it, now. We give each other strength to
make it through the darkness. You take me to a place I never want to
leave. I’m in my deepest dream; I don’t ever want to wake up. I’ll
fight till I die, I won’t say goodbye, and I won’t let this pass me by.

Now I have
finally accepted that we will never stand in the same room.
I can never
hear your voice of reason. At least you didn’t, didn’t feel a thing.

Do you
remember the time when you and I were fine? Hiding under the apple tree
there was no one but you and me, we would hide from passing cars and we
would have the summer stars. And we were better then, then we’d ever
been before. You came back to me after walking out my door, you would
call me on the phone before you even got home, and without me you said
you were all alone.

I found
religion in the greeting card aisle, now I know hallmark was right, and
every pop song on the radio is suddenly speaking to me. Art may imitate
life, but life imitates TV. Because you’ve been gone exactly two weeks,
two weeks and three days. And let’s just say that things look different
now, different in so many ways.

Let’s talk this over, it’s not like we’re dead.
Was it something I did? Was it something I said?
Don’t leave me hanging, in a city so dead.
Held up so high on such a breakable thread.

We lost touch, we lost our love,
we lost our minds when things got tough
but beatin time is a losin fight
so i guess i’m doing alright

Think
about the plans that we made, driving around while the radio played.
They may have gotten delayed, but they’re waiting for you. Think about
the look in my eyes, saying I love you the very first time. Focused,
not blind, and you said it too. I still believe in you.

This is the way
that everyone said it would be. I closed my eyes so that maybe I
wouldn’t see. You closed your heart so you couldn’t get close to me. It
was easy. I was just so easy.

Everytime I try to fly I fall,
without my wings I feel so small.
I guess I need you baby.
Everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it’s haunting me
I guess I need you baby.

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey
It reminds us to
cherish each moment,
because it will never come again.
What we leave
behind is not as important as how we have lived.

I love my past. I love my present.
 I’m not ashamed of what I’ve had,
and I’m not sad because I have it no longer.

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I
wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what’s a life,
anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die. A spider’s life
can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating
flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a
trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that. -“Charlotte’s Web”

Nothing in the world is permanent. & we are foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.

Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can’t have.

I’m cuddling close to blankets and sheets.
I am alone, in my defeat,
I wish I knew you were safely at home.

Don’t you think I wish that I could stay? You’re lips give you away. I can hear it, a jet is sent to the center of the storm, but I’m thinking I’d prefer not to be rescued.

Suddenly it hit to me.
You are not coming back.
You ran from me, you fleed.
Its been days, or maybe weeks, I’ve lost track.

But
at a certain point the memory of him stopped accompanying me everywhere
I went. He stayed behind, the way a city stays behind as a train pulls
out of the station. It’s there, somewhere behind you, and you could go
back and make sure of it. But why should you?

I’ve sure enjoyed the rain
but I’m looking forward to the sun
you have to feel the pain
when you lose the love you gave someone
I thought that now the time would take away
These lonely tears. I hope your doing fine all alone
Where do I go from here?

 It seems unreal to me
that the life you promised
was a lie

Don’t try to deny it pretty baby
You’ve been down so long you can hardly see
When the engine’s stalled and it wont stop raining
It’s the right time to roll to me.

Life,
misfortunes, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are battlefields which
have their heroes; obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the
illustrious heroes.
-Victor Hugo



I wish we could open our eyes
to see in all directions at the same time.
Oh, what a beautiful view
if you were never aware of what was around you

How could anybody deny you? I came here with a load, & it seems so much lighter now that I met you. & Honey you should know that I could never go on without you, green eyes.

I was ready to settle for less than love and not much more. There was no such thing as a dream come true. Oh, but that was all the day before you.

Common destiny, we were meant to be,
Me and You.

If you love someone, let them go.
 If they come back they are always yours,
if they don’t, they never were.

The memories of yesterday stay with me where ever I go.
Suddenly, it hit me, you have been gone for much longer than that.
What have I been doing? Where did my life go?
Why do all these moments seem so fresh in my mind?



For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.
 It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

I never knew til you were gone, how many pages you were on.
Well it never ends, I keep turning then, line after line you’re there again
Well I don’t know how to let you go
You’re so deep down in my soul I feel helpless, so hopeless
It’s a door that never closes.

Tell me all the things you never said
We can lie here and talk for hours in my bed,
I don’t have anything to hide.

“Eventually you will come to understand that
love heals everything, and love is all there is.”
-Gary Zukav-



Did you change your mind? Well, I didn’t change mine. Here I am trying to make sense of it all. We were best friends now we don’t even talk. You broke my heart, tore my world apart.

Where would we be today if I never drove that car away?

Memories come and go like a dream lost in the night,
but I remember everything about you and how you came and changed my life.

I’m so scared of falling cause once I do, it’s fight after fight to get back up.
It could take days, months, years even.
I don’t know if I have that kind of strength anymore.
Please don’t let me fall.

I can’t stand that I remember every kiss like it was yesterday, every promise before they were broken. I remember the feel of your hair, every freckle on your skin. I could recite your speeches about how you would never hurt me, always be there for me. What a waste of breath now, right?

I hope you’re learning to listen,
And I hope you’re learning to stay.
And I hope you find what you’re missing,
And I hope that you’re making your way.

I remember when you broke me like yesterday.
All it takes is one song, one whisper of your name
& I relapse into this brilliant mess of pain

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will
not take the initiative to change their situation because they are
conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of
which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is
more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure
future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for
adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new
experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an
endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different
sun.”

I gave you everything, & I mean everything.
I gave you my time, my money, my patience.
I let you throw me around like I was at your disposal.
Why was I so surprised when you slammed the door in my face?
Why was I so surprised when you left me without closure?
I guess I forgot you were no longer the boy I fell for anymore.



Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything.
 Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on.
Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.
In fact, things will be even worse the next time you open your eyes

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes – let them know you
realize that life goes fast, It’s hard to make the good things last.
You realize the sun don’-go down, It’s just an illusion caused by the
world spinning round”

We are not the same persons this year as last,
nor are those we love. It is happy chance if we,
changing, continue to love a changed person.

You’ll find better love,
strong as it ever was
warm as the morning sun
please remember me

“It filled her eyes and her mind with the sort of clean,
revelatory excitement that belongs only to the works of art that deeply
move us – the song that made us cry, the story that made us see the
world clearly from another’s perspective, at least for awhile, the poem
that made us glad to be alive, the dance that made us forget for a few
minutes that someday, we will not be.”

I guess that his friends are not like mine.
I could write a list of people I don’t miss.
I’m sorry but I’m so much better off without you.

I let you fall back on me everytime you felt alone.
You laughed when I got the nerve to call your phone
Where do I go? When you are the only home I’ve known

I hate how angry I sound when I talk about you.
I hate how jealous I seem when I talk about her.
Well, you always did bring out the most passionate emotions in me.

when the cloud in the sky starts to pour, and your
life is just a storm you’re braving, don’t tell yourself you can’t lean
on someone else. cause we all need saving sometimes.

Just smile, forget yesterday.

I found my way around to forgiving you some time ago, but I never got to tell you so. I found us in a photograph. I saw me and I had to laugh. You know, I’m not who I was. You were there, you were right above me and I wonder if you ever loved me just for who I was. When the pain came back again like a bitter friend, it was all that I could do to keep myself from blaming you. I reckon it’s a funny thing. I figured out I can sing. Now I’m not who I was. I write about love and such. Maybe ’cause I want it so much.

Hold onto 16 as long as you can,
changes comin round real soon
to make us women and men.

Love: It contains all the theatrical possibilities. Passion, jealousy, betrayal, & risk. It is nearly universal, something extraordinary that happens to ordinary people.

Never look back we say, how was I to know I’d miss you so.
Loneliness up ahead, emptiness behind. Where do I go?

I miss your smile.
 I still shed a tear every once in a while.
& Even though it’s different now,
you’re still here somehow.
My heart won’t let you go,
and I need you to know I miss you.

i want you to make the effort
i want to be sought after, irresistably
i want to occupy your mind, as you do mine

I’ve got big
dreams but no self-esteem, you know?  I’d reach for the stars but I
can’t find my arms. All this time we’ve accomplished so much. Why can’t
I believe? Why can’t I just feel love?

I
would be there every time you’d need me. I’d be there every time…But
for now I’ll look so longingly, waiting for you to want me, for you to
need me, for you to notice me.

So hard to express this feeling
cause no body compares to you
& you know she’ll never love you like I do.

I somehow see what’s beautiful in things that are ephemeral
I’m my only friend of mine
and love is just a piece of time

Give me back my point of view
cause I just can’t think for you
I can not lay here you say “what should i do?”
Well, you choose.



All we need is a little bit of momentum
Breakdown these walls that we’ve built around ourselves
All we need is a little bit of inertia
Breakdown and tell breakdown and tell
That you are the rain on the fire
Deep in the trees when no one was looking
Should I speak of this?
You are a mirage in the distance
That defies the heat of the desert
Should I believe in you?

A drop in the ocean, a change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I’m holding you closer than most
Cause you are my heaven

just remember
you’re the one thing
i cant get enough of
so i’ll tell you something
this could be love

When you take, you take the very best of me.
So I start a fight, cause I need to feel somethin’
& You do what you want,
cause I’m not what you wanted.

Slammed the door in my face,
made me question saving grace.
I got nothin left but a bitter taste
was this all just a waste?

thought you could save me from myself
you did just the opposite
i’m trying to piece back together an already broken heart
you sure know how to tear me apart.

Question: What is the best way to ask someone out. What is the worse way to break up with someone.
