Check out my new theme song:

Picking Up the Pieces When Your Whole World Falls Apart

- Sylvie

Keplar

My first date with my A was a Joss Stone concert. She is awesome.

I've been listening to a lot of Mumford & Sons lately. All their lyrics seem so meaningful to me.

The lyrics to "Liar"

I know that things are broken,
And though there's too many words left unsaid.
You say you have spoken,
Like the coward I am, I hang my head.
And you lay careless your head on my chest,
And don't even look at me looking my best.
And all these things I can't describe,
You would rather I didn't try.
But please don't cry, you liar!
Oh please, don't cry, you liar!
(Instrumental)
Oh please don't cry, you liar!
Oh please, don't cry, you liar!
Oh please, don't cry, you liar!
Oh please, don't cry, you liar!
You're leaving for your last kiss,
And who in this world could ask me to resist.
Your hands cold as they find my neck,
All this love that I've found I detest

I'm loving this Lyrics Share!

I have two songs of restoration by Boston that reminded me and helped me out on more than one occasion.

Don't Look Back

A new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin'
Today is the day

And I can see
It took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong
Now, to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, oh yes I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

It's a bright horizon but I'm awakin'
Oh I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin'
The clouds are breakin'
'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play

I can tell
There's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everything in my life was leading me on
But I can be strong, oh yes i can

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind, left behind

(guitar bridge)

Oh the sun is shinin' *and I'm on that road*

(guitar solo)

Don't look back
A new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin'
Today is the day

I can see
It took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong
Not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, oh yes I will

I finally see the dawn arriving
I see beyond the road I'm driving
Far away and left behind

Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back...

Peace of Mind

Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Future's coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin'
Can't decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead...

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin'
Doesn't mean too much to me (Note: Doesn't apply here )
Lots of people out to make believe they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be.


I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead. Look ahead.

Can't find my way home. Steve Winword


Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time, oh no
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body at home
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key


But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home


YouTube - ‪Eric Clapton - Can't Find My Way Home (LYRICS + FULL SONG)‬‏

This is an awesome song. I used to listen to it over and over during really bad times. Sad part was it took me years to figure out the "somebody must change" was me, not her.

King of Anything
-Sara Bareilles

Keep drinkin' coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked

So let me thank you for time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Ride off into your dellusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction oh
But you won't ever see

You're so busy makin' maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talkin' down just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

All my life
I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt
And hide
Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Let me hold your crown, babe

What your Soul Sings - Massive Attack
Youtube Link

Don't be afraid
Open your mouth and say
Say what your soul sings to you
Your mind can never change
Unless you ask it to
Lovingly re-arrange
The thoughts that make you blue
The things that bring you down
Only do harm to you
So make your choice joy
The joy belongs to you
And when you do
You'll find the one you love is you
You'll find you love you

Don't be ashamed
To open your heart and pray
Say what your soul sings
To you
So no longer pretend
That you can't feel it near
That tickle on your head
That tingle in your ear
Oh ask it anything
Because it loves you dear
It's your most precious king
If only you could hear
And when you do
You'll find the one you need is you
You'll find you love you

Nothing new to add, but I love all the songs and I love the diversity in musical preferences we have here!

Momma's Boy by Elizabeth and the Catapults

if you want a girl to be your mother
go find another
go find another one

you only call me when your life’s going under
i’m not just a cover
not just a cover up

and then you wanna be the tough guy
with the appetite
well i’m not gonna stop you

but if you’re looking for a bed to recover on
go find another one
go find another one

and you’re a grown boy, such a grown boy
don’t expect the world, to clean up for you
‘cuz they don’t have to
don’t expect the stars, to line up for you
they’ll shine right past you

you seem to think, you always get
exactly what you asked for…
but i’m not your mother

ba ga de ga de ga de wee!

if you want a girl to be your mother
go find another
go find another one

you only call me when you’re down on your dollar
i’m not just a cover
not just a cover up

and then you wanna be the tough guy
with the appetite
you wanna eat your cake don’t you?

but if you’re looking for a bed to recover on
go find another one
go find another one

and you’re a grown boy, such a grown boy…
don’t expect the world
don’t expect the world
don’t expect the world to clean up for you
‘cuz they don’t have to
don’t expect the stars to line up for you
they’ll shine right past you

you seem to think, you always get
exactly what you asked for…
but i’m not your mother

if you want a girl to be your mother
go find another
go find another one

you only call me when your life’s goin’ under
i’m not just a cover
not just a cover up

Can't Treat Me That Way
Kate Earl
Kate Earl ~ You can't Treat me That Way - YouTube

You're not the guy I met
And if you are only get
One chance to prove it
Baby make it count

Maybe she let you do that
Maybe some other fool had
Too many problems
To respect herself

You've go a woman who knows her worth
And ain't prepared to compromise it
You better listen you better make it better
But don't make me say
You've go a woman who knows her worth
And ain't prepared to compromise it
You better listen you better make it better
But don't make me say
You can't treat me that way
Ooooh

I hope it's my mistake
Simple misunderstanding
Trivial bull**** we blew into space
A common lovers rift
Uncommon words thrown like fists
Cause if you meant it
Baby it's too late

You've got a woman who knows her worth
And ain't prepared to compromise it
You better listen you better make it better
But don't make me say
You've got a woman who knows her worth
And ain't prepared to compromise it
You better listen you better make it better
But don't make me say
You can't treat me that way
Ooooh

You better make it better
You better make it feel right
You better make it feel the way it ought to feel
You better make it better
You better make it feel good
You better do it cause you know that you should

You've got a woman who knows her worth
And ain't prepared to compromise it
You better listen you better make it better
But don't make me say
You've got a woman who knows her worth
And ain't prepared to compromise it
You better listen you better make it better
But don't make me say
You can't treat me that way
Ooooh

What Makes You Stay lyrics
By: Deana Carter

Look at me, I'm in a place
I never thought I'd be
Don't have the strength to fight anymore
Or a reason not to leave
So tell me why I still keep holding on
To something I just cannot see

What makes you stay
When your world falls apart?
What makes you try one more time
When it's not in your heart?

At the end of your rope
When you can't find any hope
You still look at him and say
"I just can't walk away"
Tell me, what makes you stay?

I'm not afraid of living alone
I was alone before he came
I've been in love many times before
But this time's not the same
I've always been the first to say goodbye
Now it's the last thing I can do

What makes you stay
When your world falls apart?
What makes you try one more time
When it's not in your heart?

At the end of your rope
When you can't find any hope
You still look at him and say
"I just can't walk away"
Tell me, what makes you stay?

When it goes this deep
Feels this strong
I can't convince myself
That this love is wrong

At the end of your rope
When you can't find any hope
You still look at him and say
I just can't walk away
Tell me, what makes you stay?
Tell me, what makes you stay?
