Bon Jovi, "Real Life"

 

I wish that life was like it is in the movies

'Cause the hero always gets his way

No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road

At the end he´s got a smile on his face

 

But when they threw me out to the lions

No one saved me as I fell from your grace

And no one wrote me new lines

For what I said wrong

What I did wrong I could not erase

 

This is real life

This is real love

This is real pain

That much I'm sure of

These are real tears

These are real fears inside

That I can't hide

 

I wish that I could be a white knight in armour

With an army just to bring you back home

But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number

Someone else is gonna answer the phone

Why can't it be like it is on TV

When the orchestra plays and you come back to me

 

This is real life

This is real love

This is real pain

That much I'm sure of

These are real tears

These are real fears inside

I can't hide

 

This is real life

This is real love

These are real wounds I'm bleeding from

And I realize this is real

 

I always thought that our love

Was a story book tale

God knows that I'd never dream

In the end it could fail

 

'Cause this is real life

This is real love

This is real pain

That much I'm sure of

These are real tears

These are real fears inside

That I can't hide

 

This is real life

This is real love

These are real wounds I´m bleeding from

And I realize this is real

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word - Elton John

 

Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding In My Hands - Elton John

 

 

You can tell I am a huge Elton fan. I actually sent the lyrics (email) to my ex wife right after we separated (Love Lies Bleeding In My Hands). Its a powerful song and my all time favorite. After I sent it to her, she thought it was a suicide note!! lol It's a song about a broken relationship.

 

 

The roses in the window box

Have tilted to one side

Everything about this house

Was born to grow and die

 

Oh it doesn't seem a year ago

To this very day

You said I'm sorry honey

If I don't change the pace

I can't face another day

 

And love lies bleeding in my hand

Oh it kills me to think of you with another man

I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

But my guitar couldn't hold you

So I split the band

Love lies bleeding in my hands

 

I wonder if those changes

Have left a scar on you

Like all the burning hoops of fire

That you and I passed through

 

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line

I hope you're happy now

Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl

You'll make it back somehow

BEST BREAKUP SONG EVER

 

The Mountain Goats - No Children

 

I hope that our few remaining friends

Give up on trying to save us

I hope we come up with a failsafe plot

To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

 

I hope the fences we mended

Fall down beneath their own weight

And I hope we hang on past the last exit

I hope it's already too late

 

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here

Someday burns down

And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away

And I never come back to this town again

 

In my life

I hope I lie

And tell everyone you were a good wife

And I hope you die

I hope we both die

 

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow

I hope it bleeds all day long

Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises

We're pretty sure they're all wrong

 

I hope it stays dark forever

I hope the worst isn't over

And I hope you blink before I do

Yeah I hope I never get sober

 

And I hope when you think of me years down the line

You can't find one good thing to say

And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out

You'd stay the hell out of my way

 

I am drowning

There is no sign of land

You are coming down with me

Hand in unlovable hand

And I hope you die

I hope we both die

Brand New Girlfriend - Steve Holy

 

...and I only like some country, but the first verse was what got me, 'cause it happened to me...

 

she said, "i need sometime to find myself,

i need a little space to think.

maybe we should start seeing other people.

baby, things are moving way to fast for me."

so, i, i picked up what was left of my pride,

and i put on my walking shoes,

and i got up on that high road,

and i did what any gentleman would do..

i, um...

 

[chorus]

i got a brand new girlfriend.

we went and jumped off the deep end,

flew out to LA for the weekend,

spent the whole day, lyin' on the beach,

wearin' nothin' but a smile,

playin' kissy-kissy, smoochy-smoochy,

talkin' mooshy-mooshy bout nothin'.

man, i think im on to somethin',

yano i feel just like a kid again.

i got a brand new girlfriend.

 

[verse: 2]

i love it when she calls me butter cup,

laughs and says i left the toilet seat up,

she pops and tosses me a cold beer,

and says my buddies always welcome here.

when i get hungry, she takes me out.

i ride the shotgun like a * * * *zu hound.

my tails a waggin', my tongues hangin' out,

it makes me wanna shout...

 

[chorus]

 

wooo...

cute, cute, cute...

 

she likes to write our names in the sand.

shes hearing wedding bells and making plans.

shes gonna hang around a while i guess.

she hasnt even told me she loves me yet.

 

[chorus]

 

she makes me feel just like a kid again,

i gotta brand new girlfriend.

[scsavino]

This song has had me breaking down all damn day .....

 

Who Knew - by Pink

You took my hand

You showed me how

You promised me you'd be around

Uh huh

That's right

I took your words

And I believed

In everything

You said to me

Yeah huh

That's right

 

If someone said three years from now

You'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them out

Cause they're all wrong

I know better

Cause you said forever

And ever

Who knew

 

Remember when we were such fools

And so convinced and just too cool

Oh no

No no

I wish I could touch you again

I wish I could still call you a friend

I'd give anything

 

When someone said count your blessings now

For they're long gone

I guess I just didn't know how

I was all wrong

They knew better

Still you said forever

And ever

Who knew

 

Yeah yeah

I'll keep you locked in my head

Until we meet again

Until we

Until we meet again

And I won't forget you my friend

What happened

 

If someone said three years from now

You'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them out

Cause they're all wrong

That last kiss

I'll cherish

Until we meet again

And time makes

It harder

I wish I could remember

But I keep

Your memory

You visit me in my sleep

My darling

Who knew

My darling

My darling

Who knew

My darling

I miss you

My darling

Who knew

Who knew

Enrique Iglesias : Tired of being Sorry

Enrique Iglesias: Do you know ( the ping pong song)

Enrique Iglesias : Somebody's Me

[princess_summer_blue84]

Somebody's Me

 

 

 

You, do you remember me?

Like I remember you?

Do you spend your life

Going back in your mind to that time?

Because I, I walk the streets alone

I hate being on my own

And everyone can see that I really fell

And I'm going through hell

Thinking about you were somebody else

 

(Chorus)

Somebody wants you

Somebody needs you

Somebody dreams about you every single night

Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely

Somebody hopes someday you will see

That Somebody's Me (2 x)

 

How, How could we go wrong

It was so good and now it's gone

And I pray at night that our paths will soon cross

And what we had isn't lost

Cause you're always right here in my thoughts

 

(Chorus)

Somebody wants you

Somebody needs you

Somebody dreams about you every single night

Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely

Somebody hopes someday you will see

That Somebody's Me (2 x)

 

You'll always be in my life

Even if I'm not in your life

Because you're in my memory

You, will you remember me

And before you set me free

Oh listen please

 

(Chorus)

Somebody wants you

Somebody needs you

Somebody dreams about you every single night

Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely

Somebody hopes someday you will see

That Somebody's Me (5 x)

[princess_summer_blue84]

Tired Of Being Sorry

 

 

I don't know why

You want to follow me tonight

When in the rest of the world

With you whom I've crossed and I've quarreled

Let's me down so

For a thousand reasons that I know

To share forever the unrest

With all the demons I possess

Beneath the silver moon

 

Maybe you were right

But baby I was lonely

I don't want to fight

I'm tired of being sorry

 

Eighth and Ocean Drive

With all the vampires and their brides

We're all bloodless and blind

And longing for a life

Beyond the silver moon

 

Maybe you were right

But baby I was lonely

I don't want to fight

I'm tired of being sorry

I'm standing in the street

Crying out for you

No one sees me

But the silver moon

 

So far away - so outer space

I've trashed myself - I've lost my way

I've got to get to you got to get to you

 

Maybe you were right

But baby I was lonely

I don't want to fight

I'm tired of being sorry

I'm standing in the street

Crying out for you

No one sees me

But the silver moon

(lalalala [till end])

Maybe you were right

But baby I was lonely

I don't want to fight

I'm tired of being sorry

I'm standing in the street

Crying out for you

No one sees me

But the silver moon.

[Crazyaboutdogs]

This song has had me breaking down all damn day .....

 

Who Knew - by Pink

 

I am not much into the modern pop but I do like that song by Pink. I also really like her song and video Stupid Girls.

Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)

 

 

 

Do you know (3 x)

 

(Chorus)

Do you know what it feels like

loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.

(Do you know (3 x))

Do you know what it feels like

to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

 

Do you know (4 x)

Do ya

 

If birds flying south is a sign of changes

At least you can predict this every year.

Love, you never know the minute it ends suddenly

I can't get it to speak

Maybe finding all the things it took to save us

I could fix the pain that bleeds inside of me

Look in your eyes to see something about me

I'm standing on the edge and I don't know what else to give.

 

(Chorus)

Do you know what it feels like

loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.

(Do you know (3 x))

Do you know what it feels like

to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

 

Do you know (4 x)

Do ya

 

How can I love you (4 x)

 

If you just don't talk to me, babe.

 

I flow through my act

The question is she needed

And decide all the man I can ever be.

Looking at the last 3 years like I did,

I could never see us ending like this.

(Do you know)

Seeing your face no more on my pillow

Is a scene that's never happened to me.

(Do you know)

But after this episode I don't see,

you could never tell the next thing life could be

 

(Chorus)

Do you know what it feels like

loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.

(Do you know (3 x))

Do you know what it feels like

to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

 

Do you know (3 x)

 

(Chorus)

Do you know what it feels like

loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.

(Do you know (3 x))

Do you know what it feels like

to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

 

Do you know (7 x)

 

(Chorus)

Do you know what it feels like

loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away

(Do you know (3 x))

Do you know what it feels like

to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed

 

Do you know (3 x)

 

(Chorus)

Do you know what it feels like

loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away

(Do you know how it feels)

Do you know what it feels like

to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed

 

Do you know (4 x)

Do ya

 

Do you know (4 x)

Do ya

 

Do you know (4 x)

Do ya

This is a really good one depending on your situation.

 

Staind- outside

 

And you.....Could bring me to my knees...Again.

All the times.....When I could beg you please...In vein.

All the times.....When I felt insecure...For you

And I leave.....My burdens at the door...

 

But I'm on the outside, I'm lookin in.

I can see through you, see your true colors.

Cuz inside your ugly, your ugly like me.

I can see through you, see to the real you.

 

All the times.....That I felt like this won't end...It's for you.

And I taste.....What I could never have...It was from you.

All the times...That I've cried...My intentions...Were full of pride.

But I watse.....More time than anyone...

 

But I'm on the outside, I'm lookin in.

I can see through you, see your true colors.

Cuz inside your ugly, your ugly like me.

I can see through you, see to the real you.

 

All the times.....That I've cried...

All this wasted....It's all inside...

And I feel.....All this pain...

Stuffed it down.....It's back again...

And I lie.....Here in bed...

All alone.....I can't mend...But I feel...Tomorrow will be ok.

 

I'm on the outside and I'm lookin in.

I can see through you, see your true colors.

Cuz inside your ugly, your ugly like me.

I can see through you, see to the real you.

sugarcult- memory

 

This may never start.

We could fall apart.

And I'd be your memory.

Lost your sense of fear.

Feelings insincere.

Can I be your memory?

 

So get back, back, back to where we lasted.

Just like I imagine.

I could never feel this way.

So get back, back, back to the disaster.

My heart's beating faster.

Holding on to feel the same.

 

This may never start.

I'll tear us apart.

Can I be your enemy?

Losing half a year.

Waiting for you here

I'd be your anything.

 

So get back, back, back to where we lasted.

Just like I imagine.

I could never feel this way.

So get back, back, back to the disaster.

My heart's beating faster.

Holding on to feel the same.

 

This may never start.

Tearing out my heart.

I'd be your memory.

Lost your sense of fear.

(I'd be your memory)

Feelings disappear.

Can I be your memory?

 

So get back, back, back to where we lasted.

Just like I imagine.

I could never feel this way.

So get back, back, back to the disaster.

My heart's beating faster.

Holding on to feel the same.

 

This may never start.

We could fall apart

And I'd be your memory.

Lost your sense of fear.

Feelings insincere.

Can I be your memory?

Can I be your memory?
