Show me where it hurts
And I will make it worse

Breaking Benjamin- Crawl

mandyb29

Every time I feel the sunshine
I thank the Lord up above,
for seeing something I
couldn’t see at all.
Coming down hard,
the feeling's all gone.
Where are we gonna hide?
My wings are feeling clipped now,
and all I wanna do is fly. ----GRACE- Ed Kowalczyk

Oh, you've got green eyes,
Oh, you've got blue eyes,
Oh, you've got grey eyes,
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before,
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before.

There is nothing in the world that I ever wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart - The Cure

If I know only one thing,
it's that everything that I see
Of the world outside is so inconceivable often I barely can speak

Yeah I'm tongue-tied and dizzy
and I can't keep it to myself
What good is it to sing helplessness blues, why should I wait for anyone else?

"Helplessness Blues" by Fleet Foxes (2011)

Off of my head, these are a few. I have many though. :happy:

"'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that **** out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse"
** Eminem - Til I Collapse

"I'm a soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much, they won't budge,
i'll never fall or fold up,
i'm a soldier,
even if my collar bone's crush or crumble,
I will never slip or stumble"
** Eminem - Soldier

"Everyday I'm Shufflin'"
** Lmfao - Party Rock Anthem

"He said goodbye from the edge of the porch
Like she'd been some casual friend
He said "You're better off without me, I'm not what you need" like her momma had said about him
He started the car pulled out of the drive didn't waste anytime lookin back
She watched him go thinkin even a stranger would show more compassion than that

[Chorus:]
She could've cried but she didn't have time
She had a baby to feed, a pink blanket to find, to rock their little one to sleep
She could've laid in bed for hours giving misery the power
But she didn't have time

She got a sitter and she got a job 'cause she had a promise to keep
Her day was a factory and evenin survival and night was exhaustion and sleep
Sometimes she felt life was passing her by and watching was all she could do
Her friends said "You gotta get outta the house and maybe you'll meet someone new"

[Chorus:]
She could've tried but she didn't have time
She had a five years old to feed, she had ballet class, piano lessons and t-ball little league
She could've laid awake for hours giving lonely nights the power
But she didn't have time

Not time, where would she find the time to trust a man again
Not time, for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then,
Not time, but yes have coffee with the man that got her tire fixed
She was thinking "Gosh, he's handsome"
When he asked
"Do you have kids?"

She could've lied but she didn't have time, all she said was "She's five"
He said "I saw the car seat, I love kids, does she have your eyes"
And they sat and talked for hours givin destiny its power
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
But she didn't have time

She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
But she didn't have time"
** Terri Clark - She Didn't Have Time

"There'll be times - in your life
Ya when you' be dancin' n' **** - but you ain't gettin it
But don't get disillusioned - no, don't expect too much
Cuz if what you have is all you can get - just keep on
tryin' - it just ain't happened yet "
** Bryan Adams - Star


"I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there

We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already
There"
** Lonestar - I'm Already There


"What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN

whoa, whoa

Never Free
Never Me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN"
** Metallica - The Unforgiven

"I think that ghosts like the cooler weather
When leaves turn color they get together
and walk along these, these old back roads
where no one lives and no one goes
with all their hopes set on the railway
where no one came and no one stayed
I guess that autumn gets you remembering
and the smallest thing just makes you cry" - Hawksley Workman - Autumn's here

He has so many fantastic lyrics

"We were naked on the ground
Neath the moon 'neath the stars
we were beasts about to burn
and the moonlit night was ours
all our singing turned to fire
you could see the flames from here
we were naked on the ground
oh don't you fear" - Dirty and True

"If we had children they'd be lovely and beautiful
and possess a peace and a strength
and a depth in their eyes and a soundness in heart
even as they cried
and we as lovers move like lilies in midnight
To taste our bellies before God
We are witness to currents we cannot control
Cannot control" - Your Beauty Must Be Rubbing Off

My Wish by Rascal Flatts
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you

And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

This is my wish

From Tom Petty. I'm a pilot so it resonates with me. It was a real struggle to get to where I am in my career today. The road was full of potholes.

Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
{ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/tom-petty-lyrics/learning-to-fly-lyrics.html }

Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly
I'm learning to fly

When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Feel the rain

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .

Leonard Cohen

The greatest lyric and the greatest pickup line (someplace in this world) has to be from the song Let Me Love You Baby by the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn....

"Baby when you walk you know you shake like a willow tree"

Adelphia

"Tell me what your worst fears are. I bet they look a lot like mine.

Tell me what you think about when you can't fall asleep at night.

Tell me that you're struggling. Tell me that you're scared. No,

Tell me that you're terrified of life. 

Tell me that it's difficult to not think of death sometimes.

Tell me how you lost.
Tell me how he left.
Tell me how she left. 

Tell me how you lost everything that you had.

Tell me that it ain't ever coming back.

Tell me about God. Tell me about love.

Tell me that it's all of the above. 

Say you think of everything in fear.
I bet you're not the only one who does."

"You ran that night that you left me ,
You put me in my place.
I got you in a stranglehold baby,
Then I crushed your face."

Nobody writes love songs like Ted.

"Red solo cup, you're more than just a cup...you're my friend." Makes me smile everytime I hear it. It's just a fun song.

"Charlie's wife goes down to the Scollay Square station every day at quarter past to and through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich as the train comes rumblin' through. Well did he ever return, no he never returned and his fate is still unlearned...". Why didn't she give him the fare??? (The MTA by the Kingston Trio)
