When You Find Me
by Joshua Radin

Something is said, it sits in my head
It's been there too long, it's killing me slow
It's rolling around, it's pushing me down
It's keeping the good part of me closed

Can't you see that when I find you, I'll find me

Oh -- I need you to know today I'll wait for you always
Oh -- I need you to know today I'll wait for you always

My only weakness is knowing your secrets
I'm holding them closed, I'm holding them tight
I know the way to silently make you
Smile with my eyes when you're trying to fight

Can't you see that when I find you, I'll find me

Oh I need you to know today I'll wait for you always
Oh I need you to know today I'll wait for you always

Cause when I find you, I'll find me

Indifference
by Pearl Jam

Oh, I will stand arms outstretched
Pretend I'm free to roam
Oh, I will make my way
Through one more day in hell

How much difference does it make?
How much difference does it make?

I will hold the candle
'Til it burns up my arm
Oh, I'll keep takin' punches
Until their will grows tired

Oh, I will stare the sun down
Until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won't change direction
And I won't change my mind

I'll swallow poison
Until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out
'Til it fills this room

 

[Kepi]

Kenny Chesney
"Better As A Memory"
I move on like a sinners prayer
And letting go like a levee breaks
Walk away as if I don't care
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
Or built to fade like your favorite song
Get reckless when there's no need
Laugh as your stories ramble on
Break my heart, but it won't bleed
My only friends are pirates
That's just who I am
But I'm better as a memory than as your man

Never sure when the truth won't do
And pretty good on a lonely night
Or move on the way a storm blows through
And never stay, but then again, I might.
I struggle sometimes to find the words
Always sure until I doubt
Walk a line until it blurs
Build walls too high to climb out
But I'm honest to a fault
That's just who I am
I'm better as a memory than as your man

I see you leaning, you're bound to fall
I don't want to be that mistake
I'm just a dreamer and nothing more
You should know it before it gets too late

Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
You never know where they're gonna land
First you're spinning, then you're standing still
Left holding a losing hand
But one day you're gonna find someone
And right away you'll know it's true
That all of your seeking's done
It was just a part of the passing through
Right there in that moment you'll finally understand
That I was better as a memory than as your man
Better as a memory than as your man

La Roux

Cover My Eyes
No wonder I'm scared to look in your eyes
You've turned me away so many times
You can take it away at any given moment
It's hard to believe while you're in this disguise

So would you hold me please?
I'm trying hard to breath
I'm just surviving
So would you hold me please?
I'm trying hard to breath
Stop me from crying

When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
Every time you leave with her
Something inside of me dies

No wonder it hurts to sit by your side
(Turned me away so many times)
There's a different song I can play you tonight
(We don't have to sit here in silence)
We can break the pattern, we can change the color
(It's just a little sacrifice)
You don't need to worry about the others
(It's all in your mind)

So would you hold me please?
I'm trying hard to breath
I'm just surviving
So would you hold me please?
I'm trying hard to breath
Stop me from crying

When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
Every time you leave with her
Something inside of me dies [repeat 2x]
Something inside me dies

When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
(cover my eyes, cover my eyes, cover my eyes)
Every time you leave with her
Something inside of me dies
(my eyes) [repeat 2x]

Nadia, I never really got into La Roux when my husband did a few years back but maybe I'll give it another try. I do, however, love this song :)



Skream feat La Roux- Finally

I hear you call me from the other room
You say my name as if you know what you’re about to do
You say you’re tired and you must be leaving soon
When will we ever see this through?

And I continue to drown my sorrows after you are gone
And look around for somebody else to hang my hopes on
In fact it’s easier now that you’re not here
I’m no longer dreading you muttering those words in my ear

In my ear, finally my saviour is here (x2)

I can’t explain the dark expression on my face
to the people that I’m surrounded by
You, but you understand me more than most and you let me try
I’m no longer dreading you muttering those words in my ear

In my ear, finally my saviour is here

I've posted this before, but I identify with it so well. Especially now.

"Picking Up Pieces"-Blue October
I really need to talk with you
I keep stepping on the vein
That keeps my lifeline flowing through
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
But I don't feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure flaw

I find it hard to hold conversations
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
No, it's not you it's strictly me in this situation
I'm wondering will it ever go away...just go away, still

Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on

This puzzle I've been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor

How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart

Listen...
I'll be as honest as I feel
I'm getting more paranoid and I'm hearing things
And they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It's just so heavy all the time

Yea I'm scared of death
And I'm scared of living
I gave up on the past cause it's unforgiving
I misplaced my trust

I watched my word begin to rust
I'm a balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving

Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on

And this puzzle I've been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor

How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart

How long (in another space and time)
Will I be picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
How long (its getting oh so hard to find)
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
But I still walk on

Devils and Dust - Bruce Springsteen

I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trust
When I look into your eyes
There's just devils and dust
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
Home's a long, long way from us
I feel a dirty wind blowing
Devils and dust

I got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust

Well I dreamed of you last night
In a field of blood and stone
The blood began to dry
The smell began to rise
Well I dreamed of you last night, Bobbie
In a field of mud and bone
The blood began to dry
And the smell began to rise

We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

Now every woman and every man
They wanna take a righteous stand
Find the love that God wills
And the faith that He commands
I've got my finger on the trigger
And tonight faith just ain't enough
When I look inside my heart
There's just devils and dust

Well I've got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a dangerous thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
Yeah it'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

 

[Violet03]

This 1st song is how I feel living in the world around me. Nobody understands me and I feel so alone I pretend to be what everyone wants me to be.

Strange by Tokio Hotel

A freak of nature
Stuck in reality
I don't fit the picture
I'm not what you want me to be
Sorry
Under the radar
Out of the system
Caught in the spotlight
That's my existence

This next song is what I listen to remind myself to keeping & not give up

World Behind My Wall by Tokio Hotel

It's raining today today
The blinds are shut.
It's always the same
I tried all the games that they play
But they made me insane
Life on TV
It's random
It means nothing to me
I'm writing down what I cannot see
(chorus)
They're telling me it's beautiful
I believe them
But will I ever know
The world behind my wall
The sun will shine like never before
One day I will be ready to go
See the world behind my wall

I'm ready to fall
I'm ready to crawl on my knees to know it all
I'm ready to heal
I'm ready to feel
Take me there

I Dreamed a Dream - from Les Miserables (the musical)

I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder.
As they tear your hope apart,
As they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder.
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came.

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this life I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed.

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

This Time It's Different- Evans Blue

..And Now Finding Comfort In The Smallest Spaces Is Sold Out,
I Know I Said, I Hope I Dont Upset The Light You Defend,
But This Time Its Different,
Destroy My Pain, then Capture Life Again,
Destroy My Shame Cant Live My Life This Way,
LET! Go, GO! Let Go, And Capture Life Again,
LET! Go, GO! Let Go, Cant Live My Life This Way,
Im Giving Up, Im Living But Weak,
Im Hearing Voices From Shadows Inside Me,
I Never Sleep,
My Eyes Are Too Focused, Too Hopeless, Too Broken, To Open To Notice,
Interfering With The Call Of Fate Is Crawling Out Of You..

Breathe Me
by Sia

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Clap Your Hands

What I mean is I need the good things
I'm finding the light in the good things
