45 - Shinedown

Send away for a priceless gift

One not subtle, one not on the list

Send away for a perfect world

One not simply, so absurd

In these times of doing what you're told

Keep these feelings, no one knows

What ever happened to the young man's heart?

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child

Keep your eyes open for a while

In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else

There's a piece of a puzzle known as life

Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart?

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

Everyone's pointing their fingers

Always condemning me

And nobody knows what I believe

I believe!

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,

And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life

There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45

Stupid Girl - Garbage

You pretend you're high

You pretend you're bored

You pretend you're anything

Just to be adored

And what you need

Is what you get

Don't believe in fear

Don't believe in faith

Don't believe in anything

That you can't break

You stupid girl

You stupid girl

All you had you wasted

All you had you wasted

What drives you on

(What drives you on)

Can drive you mad

(Can drive you mad)

A million lies to sell yourself

Is all you ever had

Don't believe in love

Don't believe in hate

Don't believe in anything

That you can't waste

You stupid girl

You stupid girl

Can't believe you fake it

Can't believe you fake it

Don't believe in fear

Don't believe in pain

Don't believe in anyone

That you can't tame

You stupid girl

You stupid girl

All you had, you wasted

All you had, you wasted

You stupid girl

You stupid girl

Can't believe, you fake it

Can't believe, you fake it

You stupid girl

You stupid girl

Can't believe, you fake it

Can't believe, you fake it

You stupid girl

Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

I told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing

I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger

And that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records

And then change your number

Guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believin it was always something that I'd done

But I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know-oh-oh

But you didn't have cut me off

Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing (oh)

I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger

and that feels so rough

(Oh)

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect you records

And then change your number (oh)

Guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody that I used to know

Somebody (now your just somebody that I used to know)

That I used to know

Somebody that I used to know

Somebody (somebody) (now your just somebody that I used to know)

That I used to know

I used to know

That I used to know

I used to know

Somebody

Father of Mine - Everclear

Father of mine

Tell me where have you been?

You know I just closed by eyes

My whole world disappeared

Father of mine

Take me back to the day

Yeah, when I was still your golden boy

Back before you went away

I remember blue skies walking the block

I loved it when you held me high

I loved to hear you talk

You would take me to the movie

You would take me to the beach

You would take me to a place inside

That's so hard to reach

Oh!

Father of mine

Tell me where did you go?

Yeah, you had the world inside your hand

But you did not seem to know

Father of mine

Tell me what do you see?

When you look back at your wasted life

And you don't see me

I was ten years old

Doin' all that I could

It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy

In a black neighborhood

Sometimes you would send me a birthday card

With a five dollar bill

I never understood you then

And I guess I never will

(Then he walked away)

Daddy gave me a name

My daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away)

Daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away)

My daddy gave me a name

Oh yeah

Yeah

Daddy gave me a name

Daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away)

Daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away)

My daddy gave me a name

Yeah

Yeah

Oh yeah

Father of mine

Tell me where have you been?

Yeah, I just closed by eyes

And the world disappeared

Father of mine

Tell me how do you sleep?

With the children you abandoned

And the wife I saw you beat

I will never be safe

I will never be sane

I will always be weird inside

I will always be lame

Now I'm a grown man

With a child of my own

And I swear, I'll never let her know

All the pain I have known

(Then he walked away)

Daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away)

My daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away)

My daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away)

My daddy gave me a name

(Then he walked away)

Yeah

(Then he walked away)

Yeah

(Then he walked away)

Oh yeah

Barely Breathing - Duncan Sheik

I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear

I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears

You really had me going, wishing on a star

But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn

Well, it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born

There's not much to examine, there's nothing left to hide

You really can't be serious if you have to ask me why, I say goodbye

'Cause I am barely breathing and I can't find the air

I don't know who I'm kidding, imaging you care

And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day

But I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price

The price that I would pay

Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?

I used to be so certain and I can't figure out

What is this attraction? I only feel the pain, there's nothing left

To reason and only you to blame, will it ever change?

'Cause I am barely breathing and I can't find the air

I don't know who I'm kidding, imaging you care

And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day

But I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price

The price that I would pay

I've come to find, I may never know

Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?

I rise above, or sink below with every time

You come and go, please don't come and go

'Cause I am barely breathing and I can't find the air

I don't know who I'm kidding, imaging you care

And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day

But I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price

The price that I would pay

I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear

One More Night - Maroon 5

You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war.

You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door.

You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we start keeping score.

You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more.

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.

Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.

Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.

And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.

So I cross my heart and I hope to die

That I'll only stay with you one more night

And I know I said it a million times

But I'll only stay with you one more night

Try to tell you "no" but my body keeps on telling you "yes".

Try to tell you "stop", but your lipstick got me so out of breath.

I'll be waking up in the morning, probably hating myself.

And I'll be waking up, feeling satisfied but guilty as hell.

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.

(Making me love you)

Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.

(I let it all go)

Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.

(Like a tattoo, yeah)

And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.

So I cross my heart and I hope to die

(Yeah)

That I'll only stay with you one more night

(Oh)

And I know I said it a million times

(Yeah)

But I'll only stay with you one more night

(Yeah)

Yeah, baby, give me one more night

Yeah, baby, give me one more night (whoa, yeah)

Yeah, baby, give me one more night (oh, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you.

Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.

Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So I cross my heart and I hope to die

(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)

That I'll only stay with you one more night

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)

And I know I said it a million times

(Oh, I said it a million times)

But I'll only stay with you one more night

(Yeah, baby give me one more night)

So I cross my heart and I hope to die (yeah, yeah)

That I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)

And I know I said it a million times (yeah, yeah)

But I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)

*Eclipse*

You were the eclipse to the empty hole in my heart. 

Covering and masking the pain I was feeling. 

Too beautiful for me to look at too long without being blinded by your brilliance. 

Too bad you only lasted for a moment, leaving in your wake a bigger hole of pain than was already there. Silently moving on just like the Moon from the Sun. 

And you know what's funny? 

Given the chance I would let you hide my pain again, for those few brief moments that it pleases you.

Knowing that you will only cause more pain when you leave again.

Just like an eclipse, when the Moon leaves the Sun.

-My Own Poem

-Gretchen Kemp

"There's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me."

-John Greenleaf Whittier

"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those 'It might have been."

-Self Quote

"I need to clear the path I'm walking. Can't move on if I keep trippin over you."

-Jeffery Star

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

-Contradictions

Isn't it odd how a lot of famous relationship quotes contradict one another? For example...

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder." I understand this. If you truly care about someone you will miss them while/when they are gone.

However...

"Out of sight, out of mind." Seriously? if you can't see me then you aren't going to think about them?

-Anonymous

"If a girl is stupid enough to love you even after you break her heart, then I guarantee you that she's the one."
