Need another feel good song thread!

PINK - So What


I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I wanna start a fight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I wanna start a fight

So, so what, I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight

I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a fool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight

This song has been on repeat on my I-Pod lately:

Scandal....Goodbye to You!

Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know I never got by, "I feel it too"
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holdin' on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

This song is hysterical if you haven't heard it (warning one repeating naughty word):

Spose - I'm Awesome (2010 Video & Lyrics)

Some lyrics:

awesome, awesome, awesome,awesome,awesome,awesome
i don't necessarily have to be here for this
im gonna keep the headphones though
mother ****** I'm awsome!!!
no you're not dude don't lie
i'm awsome!!!
i'm drivin around in my mom's ride
i'm awsome!!!
a quarter of my life gone by and
i met all my friends online
mother *** i'm awsome!!!

i'm awsome!!!
there's no voice mail nobody called
i'm awsome!!!
and i talk to myself
on my facebook wall

This is reflective of my mood lately, for sure....

**

Brand New Lover by Dead or Alive (single version)

Your sweet nature, darling, was too hard to swallow
I've got the solution, I'm leaving tomorrow
And now as I stand and stare into your eyes
I see safety there, I want surprises

All I really need to do is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody with eyes for me who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do is find a brand new lover

When you wake up tomorrow, you'll be all alone
All the love that we had I have quickly outgrown
I wanted to stay, but I just couldn't do it
Couldn't stand there and put you through it

All I really need to do is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody with eyes for me who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do is find a brand new lover

**
....oh yea, that's the stuff

Alice

Please don't leave me by Pink - to me it puts the whole alcoholic/codependent relationship in perspective and makes me realize how truly crazy it is! It is my perfect "recovery" song, especially when I hear it and think "this is so true, so crazy and soooo unhealthy". In the end where it says "I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag", boy that reminds me that even though I was never physically abused by my RAH, I am NOBODY'S punching bag, mentally or physically!

Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da-da da

I don't know if I can yell any louder
How many time have I kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?
(da da da da-da)

I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
When my heart is....broken

Da da da-da da
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise

Da da da-da da
Please don't leave me
Da da da-da da
Please don't leave me (don't leave me)
Da da da-da da
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry.

Da da da da, da da da da
da da da da-da da
Please, please don't leave me

Baby please don't leave me
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me no no no
I always say I don't need you but it's always gonna come right back,
It's gonna come right back to this.
Please, don't leave me.
No.
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me, oh no no no.
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this

Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me








Please Dont Leave Me Lyrics

My own personal anthem, just because I'm a former musical theatre student:

No Day but Today, from Rent:

There is no future -
There is no past

Thank God
This moment's not the last

There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss

No other road no other way
No day but today

I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal
Is just to be

Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare

There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today

Love. That. Song.

While not exactly feel good - Kelly Clarkson 'Already Gone' is appropriate here:
------------

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die...

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
"Perfect" couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone
Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on,
So I'm already gone

Zac Brown Band-Hiway 20 Ride

I ride east every other Friday but if I had it my way
A day would not be wasted on this drive
And I want so bad to hold you
So much things I haven't told you
Your mom and me couldn't get along

So I'll drive
And I'll think about my life
And wonder why, that I'll slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line and I count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride

A day might come you'll realize that if you see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son please don't mistake me for a man that didn't care at all

And I'll drive
And I'll think about my life
And wonder why, that I'll slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line and I count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride

So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If I ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life
And I cherished every time
And my whole world
It begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride...


For those that aren't familiar with this song, it was written by a guy lamenting the fact that he was divorced and relegated to the STANDARD "every other weekend" deal with his son.

The part I hi-lighted never fails to well tears up in my eyes.

Lots of times I catch myself feeling sorry for ole Coyote 'cause I'm rearing this kid without any help from her mom.

This song serves to remind me how lucky I am (probably 1 in 100 at least), to be the custodial parent and get to see my kid every day.

Then it dawns on me that if it weren't for alcoholism, I'd be that guy driving back and forth every two weeks.

Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote

Okay, I love this song, because to me, it is saying I can change my life, there ain't no drug (or man) that can do it for me. I wanna spend the rest of my life alive!
Beth (The band is called Switchfoot)


Mess Of Me lyrics

I am my own affliction
I am my own disease
There ainīt no drug that they could sell
No, there ainīt no drug to make me well

There ain't no drug
There ainīt no drug
There ainīt no drug
Itīs not enough
The sickness is myself

- Chorus -
I've made a mess of me I wanna get back the rest of me
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna reverse this tragedy
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
The rest of my life alive!

We lock our souls in cages
inside these prison cells
Itīs hard to free the ones you love
Ohh, when you canīt forgive yourself
Forgive yourself!

There ainīt no drug
There ainīt no drug
There ainīt no drug
The sickness is myself

- Chorus -
I've made a mess of me I wanna get back the rest of me
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna reverse this tragedy
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
The rest of my life alive!

AHHHHHHOOOOO!

There ainīt no drug
There ainīt no drug
There ainīt no drug
No drugs to make me well
There ainīt no drug
Itīs not enough
There ain't no drug
The sickness is myself
The sickness is myself

- Chorus -
I've made a mess of me I wanna get back the rest of me
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna reverse this tragedy
Iīve made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive
The rest of my life aliiiive!

Every time I hear this one, I think of it as my Codie Anthem.

Crucify by Tori Amos

"Crucify"

Every finger in the room
is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what God needs
One more victim

[Chorus:]
Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day
And my heart is sick of being in chains

Got a kick for a dog
Beggin' for Love
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says will you ever learn
You're just an empty cage girl
If you kill the bird
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start
my own religion
Please be
Save me
I cry

[Chorus:]
Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day
And my heart is sick of being in chains
