What is your favorite song lyric??

JanetLM73

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Fix you ~ Coldplay

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be in, why can it be in mine?

BigL0s

It’ll be so much to be said but no one will convey it
The relationship will be over but no one will say it
A doomed fate, living with who you’d soon hate
Ex life partners trying to co-exist as roommates
Once you go through it you’ll believe it
And you’ll never give a woman more than you’ll want her to leave with

Joe Budden - No Idea and Joe Budden - Sober up. And just about every other song of his, lyrical genius.

I dont talk to God as a matter of fact I plead with
At times I hate my reflection and others I’m conceited
half the time I’m arrogant other times I’m vengeful
at times it’s to convince me, at times it’s to convince you
done a lot of wrong but I aint never felt resentful
its been so many times I’ve lost track of who to repent to.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Fix you ~ Coldplay

"Little Girl Blue"

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.
What else, what else is there to do ?
Oh and I know how you feel,
I know you feel that you're through.
Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count,
Ah, count your little fingers,
My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.

Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel 'em falling down, oh honey all around you.
Honey don't you know it's time,
I feel it's time,
Somebody told you 'cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they're falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you're unhappy.

Oh sit there, ah go on, go on
And count your fingers.
I don't know what else, what else
Honey have you got to do.
And I know how you feel,
And I know you ain't got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through.
Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,
I want you to count, oh count your fingers,
Ah my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue.
I know you're unhappy,
Ooh ah, honey I know,
Baby I know just how you feel.

"Here's a quarter, call someone who cares" Travis Tritt

"Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone" Roy Clark



But you stand there pleadin'
With your insides bleedin'
'Cause you deep down want some more
Then she says she wants affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto,
You don't really mind the pain
You don't mind the pain
- Billy Joel "Stilleto"

"This **** is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S!"
Brings a tear to my eye... It taught me how to spell bananas.. ('':
Haha.

Seriously. I have so many.. I can't think of em.

NOOOO! No bananas. Please no.

One banana, two banana
Three banana, four
Four bananas make a bunch
and so do many more
- The Banana Splits TV show theme song

You really need to listen to all these songs to get the full affect of the words, but still,

"We are only chemical and skin, barely strapped in for this air conditioned drive."- People, Running- Jack's Mannequin.

and

"I'm working on my faults and cracks, filling in the blanks and gaps, and when I write them out they don't make sense, I need you to pencil in the rest."- Backwards walk- Frightened Rabbit.

and

"Like ships in the night letting cannonballs fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fists fly from my mouth as it turns south"- Ships in the Night- Mat Kearney

and, this last one isn't lyrically brilliant but it makes me happy

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know, oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
That's what makes you beautiful."- What makes you beautiful- One Direction

Hey, I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey, I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They, they betray
I'm your only true friend now
They, they'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel, sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true, sad but true

Oldie but a goodie!

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol - I love the entire song, but my favourite lyrics of the song are;

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world.

Also, Apologize by One Republic is a song with lyrics I love

Don't worry
about a thing
because every little thing
is gonna be alright
Rise up this morning
Smile with the rising sun
three little birds
pitch by my doorstep
singing sweet songs
melodies pure and true
this is my message to you-ou-ou
Bob Marley

and

there's hope
it doesn't cost a thing to smile
you dont have to pay to laugh
you better thank God for that

and

cause you're beautiful
like a flower
more valuable
than a diamond
you are powerful
like a fire
you can heal the world
with your mind, and
there is nothing in the world that you cannot do
when you believe in you, who are beautiful
yeah you, who are brilliant
yeah you, who are powerful
yeah you, who are resilient.......

both by India Arie

Bob Marley Three Little Birds....best song ever!!!

Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

"Every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
How can somebody love
Something like me"

Something Like Me, Staind

"You're my world
The shelter from the rain
You're the pills
That take away my pain
You're the light
That helps me find my way
You're the words
When I have nothing to say"

&

"You're the fire
That warms me when i'm cold
You're the hand
I have to hold as I grow old
You're the shore
When I am lost at sea
You're the only thing
That I like about me "

Tangled Up In You, Aaron Lewis

"I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close
The devil in you i suppose
'Cause the wounds never heal"

Everything Changes, Staind
