    She was an American girl raised on promises
    She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life somewhere else
    After all, it was a great big world with lots of places to run to
    And if she had to die tryin', she had one little promise she was gonna keep
    -- Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers "American Girl"
    Love Tom Petty

    Me too. I swear there's a Petty song for whatever you're going through.

    wakin' up, feelin' good and limber
    when the telephone, it ring
    was a bad man from california
    tellin' of a stone he'd bring
    and of better days
    from this town, we'd escape

    -- My Morning Jacket "One Big Holiday"

    When I'm tired and thinking cold
    I hide in my music, forget the day
    and dream of a girl I used to know
    I closed my eyes and she slipped away

    You know who it is.... ;-)

    "I am neither breather nor speaker
    I am neither walker nor sleeper
    I am neither sister brother son nor daughter
    Solely in my chest is my heart a drum of water
    I am under no disguise"

    The song that made the difference for me. I stumbled across this as I was looking at someone's before and after pics. They had them on a slideshow with this song playing in the background. I thought it summed up how I felt pretty well. Then I did some research and found out that the writer of the song (Natalie Grant) wrote it when she was struggling with bulemia. Look it up on youtube to hear it for a real blessing. I cried the first time I heard it. It's called The Real Me.

    Foolish heart looks like we're here again
    Same old game of plastic smile
    Don't let anybody in
    Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
    How much will they take before I'm empty
    Do I let it show, does anybody know?

    CHORUS:
    But You see the real me
    Hiding in my skin, broken from within
    Unveil me completely
    I'm loosening my grasp
    There's no need to mask my frailty
    Cause You see the real me

    Painted on, life is behind the mask
    Self-inflicted circus clown
    I'm tired of the song and dance
    Living a charade, always on parade
    What a mess I've made of my existence
    But you love me even now
    And still I see somehow

    CHORUS

    Wonderful, beautiful is what You see
    When You look at me
    You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
    A perfect tapestry
    I just wanna be me

    CHORUS

    And You love me just as I am
    Wonderful, beautiful is what You see
    When You look at me

    I want to live where soul meets body
    and let the sun wrap its arms around me
    and bathe my skin in water, cool and cleansing
    and feel,feel what its like to be new

    Why did I ever like you
    What did I see
    Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion

    And as I watch the drops of rain,
    Weave their weary paths and die.
    I know that I am like the rain,
    There, but for the grace of you go I

    "Are you really here or am I dreamin'?
    I can't tell dreams from truth,
    For it's been so long since I have seen you.
    I can hardly remember your face anymore.
    When I get really lonely and the distance calls its only silence,
    I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a, lover that sighs. "

    - "If You Want Me" Marketa Irglova with Glen Hansard

    Love this one!

    "I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
    watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
    I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
    and I can't do it again." -Laura Marling

    I came across this post and the first thing that came to mind was "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"

    ... and we can build this dream together
    Standing strong forever
    Nothings gonna stop us now!

    A Very Short Song - Dorothy Parker performed by Aiden John Moffat

    Once, when I was young and true,
    Someone left me sad-
    Broke my brittle heart in two;
    And that is very bad.

    Love is for unlucky folk,
    Love is but a curse.
    Once there was a heart I broke;
    And that, I think, is worse.

    Cyclops - Pete Doherty / Babyshambles / The Libertines

    "Everywhere I'm walking like a cyclone
    But don't mind me
    It's not fair, I'm a magnet for psychos
    And pretty little riddles keen on me"

    Music When The Lights Go Out - The Libertines

    "is it cruel to be kind not to speak my mind and to lie to you rather than hurt you
    well i'll confess all of my sins after several large gins but still i;ll hide from you, hide whats
    inside from you
    and alarm bells ring.when you say your heart still sings.when your with me, oh darling please
    forgive me
    but i no longer hear the music oh no no no no"
    You On My Mind In My Sleep - Richard Ashcroft
    You ain't ever seen
    The way to find your dreams
    Forget what's within within
    Cos who you've been you've been

    If all we lose is the skin
    I'm putting you under within
    We're gonna make this life together

    The symptoms are too deep
    I got you on my mind in my sleep

    I could go on forever to be honest

    Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ
    From turning every hungry stone into bread
    And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted
    When the innocent first born sons lay dead
    Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative
    Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea
    Now everybody's praying
    Don't pray on me

    Bad Religion

    The apple falls far from the tree
    she's rotten and so beautiful
    I'd like to keep her here with me
    and tell her that she's beautiful
    She takes the pills to fall asleep
    and dreams that she's invisible
    Tormented dreams she stays awake
    recalls when she was capable...

    Joy Division - Dead Souls
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhEm4S-4v_U

    Someone take these dreams away
    That point me to another day
    A duel of personalities
    That stretch all true realities

    That keep calling me
    They keep calling me
    Keep on calling me
    They keep calling me

    When figures from the past stand tall
    And mocking voices ring the hall
    Imperialistic house of prayer
    Conquistadors who took their share

    Lhasa - Rising
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hTpR-TYTZ0

    I got caught in a storm
    And carried away
    I got turned, turned around

    I got caught in a storm
    That's what happened to me
    So I didn't call
    And you didn't see me for a while

    I was rising up
    Hitting the ground
    And breaking and breaking

    I was caught in a storm
    Things were flying around
    And doors were slamming
    And windows were breaking
    And I couldn't hear what you were saying
    I couldn't hear what you were saying
    I couldn't hear what you were saying

    I was rising up
    Hitting the ground
    And breaking and breaking

    And Opiv

    After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for you
    But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
    Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
    Just how capable I am to pull through
    So I wanna say thank you
    -Christina Aguliera (Fighter)....my ex was an *kitten*.


    You all hate your children
    They're too fat to feed
    You're on medication
    Taking pills to sleep
    I think I'm doing just fine
    Compared to what you've been doing
    I won't get vaccinated
    Insurance costs too much
    You think you're so persuasive
    But I'm not giving up
    Saving my life
    It's not what you're doing
    I, I won't justify
    The way I live my life
    'Cause I'm the one livin' it
    Feelin' it, tastin' it
    And you're just wasting your time
    Trying to throw me a line
    When you're the one drowning
    I like where I'm at on my back
    Floating down in my own riptide
    The water is fine
    -Sick Puppies (Riptide)
