TryingSoHard

This song is really striking a nerve with me. I can't get it out of my head, and I can't quit thinking about the lyrics. Hits a little too close to home, I guess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl who never wants to be alone
I don't wanna be that call at 4 o'clock in the morning
Cause I'm the only one you know in the world that won't be home

Aahh the sun is blinding
I stayed up again
Ohh, I am finding
That's not the way I want my story to end

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like protection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I don't wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence
The quiet scares me cause it screams the truth
Please don't tell me that we had that conversation
I won't remember, save your breath, 'cos what's the use?

Aahh, the night is calling?
And it whispers to me softly come and play
But I, I am falling
And If I let myself go I'm the only one to blame

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I'm coming down, coming down, coming down
Spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round
Looking for myself - SOBER (x2)

When it's good, then it's good, it's so good till it goes bad
Till you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry, never again
Broken down in agony just tryin to find a fit

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober

I'm safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain
Inside
You're like perfection
How do I feel this good sober?

Will I ever feel this good sober?
Tell me, No no no no no pain
How do I feel this good sober?

I love the 'power of music' as it relates to recovery.

Very emotional.

mac911

I hear my daughter playing it all the time. Very well done and emotional.

Here's one after sobriety/clairity that to me is positive and uplifting. Yes, it's an old--ee.

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin?for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothin?but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

SoberforME

This is how I feel about sobriety and I listen to this song everyday. Susan Tedeschi sings it.


I wanna feel, feel the love that music brings
And I wanna be a piece of life in all livin' things
I know what's in my heart and my soul tells me to sing
I'm gonna be thankful for this feeling that music brings
Oh, it brings

Now I never thought selfishness could tear such a hole
And I never realized how we could be one and still all alone
I'm gonna get myself up and know I'm gonna get up and sing
I'm gonna be thankful for this feeling that music brings
Oh, it brings

Now I'm so thankful I've heard a voice deep inside
Saying hallelujah and let music be your guide

Now I never thought I could feel a sadness
that could bring me so down
And I never thought there'd be a time where my heart had no song
I'm gonna get myself up and know I'm gonna get up and sing
I'm gonna be thankful for this feeling that music brings
Oh, it brings

And I'm so grateful I've heard a voice deep inside
Singing hallelujah, oh there's no more need to cry

So I'm gonna pick myself up, up of the ground
I'm gonna get up and sing, I'm gonna sing a joyous song
And I'm gonna sing hallelujah for this love I feel inside
I'm gonna sing hallelujah let music be your guide
Oh, your guide

I'm gonna sing hallelujah, oh I'm gonna sing
Hallelujah, for this feeling that music brings
Oh I've gotta sing now
Oh I'm gonna sing a joyous song
Oh yes, I know that I'm thankful
