NICK LACHEY LYRICS

 

"I Can't Hate You Anymore"

 

An empty room can be so deafening,

The silence makes you wanna scream,

It drives you crazy.

I chased away the shadows of your name,

And burned the picture in a frame,

But it couldn't save me.

 

And how could we quit something we never even tried,

Well you still can't tell me why.

 

We built it up,

To watch it fall.

Like we meant nothing at all.

I gave and gave the best of me,

But couldn't give you what you need.

You walked away,

You stole my life,

Just to find what you're looking for.

But no matter how I try,

I can't hate you anymore.

...I can't hate you anymore.

 

You're not the person that you used to be,

The one I want who wanted me,

And that's a shame but,

There's only so many tears that you can cry.

Before it drains the light right from your eyes,

And I can't go on that way.

And so I'm letting go of everything we were,

It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

 

We built it up,

To watch it fall.

Like we meant nothing at all.

I gave and gave the best of me,

But couldn't give you what you need.

You walked away,

You stole my life,

Just to find what you're looking for.

But no matter how I try,

I can't hate you anymore.

 

Sometimes you hold so tight,

It slips right through your hands.

Will I ever understand?

 

We built it up,

To watch it fall.

Like we meant nothing at all.

I gave and gave the best of me,

But couldn't give you what you need.

You walked away,

You stole my life,

Just to find what you're looking for.

But no matter how I try,

I can't hate you anymore [x2]

Don't cry to me

If you loved me

You would be here with me

You want me

Come find me

Make up your mind

 

Should I let you fall?

Lose it all?

So maybe you can remember yourself

Can't keep believing

We're only deceiving ourselves

And I'm sick of the lie

And you're too late

 

Don't cry to me

If you loved me

You would be here with me

You want me

Come find me

Make up your mind

 

Couldn't take the blame

Sick with shame

Must be exhausting to lose your own game

Selfishly hated

No wonder you're jaded

You can't play the victim this time

And you're too late

 

So don't cry to me

If you loved me

You would be here with me

You want me

Come find me

Make up your mind

 

You never call me when you're sober

You only want it cause it's over

It's over

 

How could I have burned paradise?

How could I - you were never mine

 

So don't cry to me

If you loved me

You would be here with me

Don't lie to me

Just get your things

I've made up your mind

Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground. I wake up lonely, theres air of silence in the bedroom and all around. touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

 

It must have been love but its over now. it must have been good but I lost it somehow. it must have been love but its over now. from the moment we touched til the time had run out.

 

Make-believing were together, that Im sheltered by your heart. but in and outside Ive turned to water like a teardrop in your palm. and its a hard winters day, I dream away.

 

It must have been love but its over now, it was all that I wanted, now Im living without. it must have been love but its over now, its where the water flows, its where the wind blows.

Air Supply - I'm All Out Of Love

 

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone

Thinking of you till it hurts

I know you hurt too but what else can we do

Tormented and torn apart

I wish I could carry your smile and my heart

For times when my life feels so low

It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring

When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

 

I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you

I know you were right believing for so long

I 'm all out of love, what am I without you

I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong I want you to come back and carry me home

Away from this long lonely nights

I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too

Does the feeling seem oh so right

And what would you say if I called on you now

And said that I can't hold on

There's no easy way, it gets harder each day

Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Walking with a Ghost - Tegan and Sara

 

no matter which way you go

no matter which way you stay

you're out of my mind, out of my mind

out of my mind, out of my mind

I was walking with a ghost

I said please, please don't insist

I was walking with a ghost

I said please, please don't insist

no matter which way you go

no matter which way you stay

you're out of my mind, out of my mind

out of my mind, out of my mind

I was walking with a ghost

I said please, please don't insist

I was walking with a ghost

I said please, please don't insist

no matter which way you go

no matter which way you stay

you're out of my mind, out of my mind

out of my mind, out of my mind

out of my mind, out of my mind

Well, baby used to stay out all night long

She made me cry, she done me wrong

She hurt my eyes open, thats no lie

Tables turn and now her turn to cry

 

Because I used to love her, but its all over now

Because I used to love her, but its all over now

 

Well, she used to run around with every man in town

She spent all my money, playing her high class game

She put me out, it was a pity how I cried

Tables turn and now her turn to cry

 

Because I used to love her, but its all over now

Because I used to love her, but its all over now

 

Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed

When Id gotten worried shed ease my aching head

But now shes here and there, with every man in town

Still trying to take me for that same old clown

 

Because I used to love her, but its all over now

Because I used to love her, but its all over now

Because I used to love her, but its all over now

Because I used to love her, but its all over now

I didn't dedicate this song, because in fact he's not worthy of dedication. I dedicate it to myself, because it so terribly-well describes how the break up felt.

 

Garbage- Cup of Coffee (album Beautiful Garbage)

 

You told me you don't love me

Over a cup of coffee

And I just have to look away

A million miles between us

Planets crash into dust

I just let it fade away

 

I'm walking empty streets

Hoping we might meet

I see your car parked on the road

The light on at your window

I know for sure that you're home

But I just have to pass on by

 

So no, of course, we can't be friends

Not while I'm still this obsessed

I guess I always knew the score

This is how our story ends

 

I smoke your brand of cigarettes

And pray that you might give me a call

I lie around on bed all day just staring at the walls

Hanging round bars at night

Wishing I had never been born

And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home

 

So no, of course, we can't be friends

Not while I still feel like this

I guess I always knew the score

This is where our story ends

 

You left behind some clothes

My belly summersaults when I pick them off the floor

My friends all say they're worried

I'm looking far too skinny

I've stopped returning all their calls

 

And no, of course, we can't be friends

Not while I'm still so obsessed

I want to ask where I went wrong

But don't say anything at all

 

It took a cup of coffee

To prove that you don't love me

So they Say- Drink of Poison

 

Dressed to kill this thrill will be the end

Save your side of the story

It's just so annoying

There's pictures in my head I can't give back

 

'Cause you had to be the life of the party

And will you not know what to say

To the boy who gets your heart someday

And you're used body

 

[Chorus]

With this drink of poison

You'll choke (but my bleeding heart will ruin it all!)

'cause I know history will repeat itself

 

O.K you got me now I must confess

This humbling experience has broughten me bliss

So many things are just best left unsaid

'Cause you're such a liar, You're such a good liar

 

And will you not know what to say

To the boy who gets your heart someday

And you're used body

 

 

This song pretty much said everything I wanted to tell her after the break up.

My Old Friend, Tim McGraw

 

My old friend, I recall

The times we had hanging on my wall

I wouldn't trade them for gold

Cause they laugh and they cry me

Somehow sanctify me

They're woven in the stories I have told

And tell again

 

My old friend, I apologize

For the years that have passed

Since the last time you and I

Dusted off those memories

But the running and the races

The people and the places

There's always somewhere else I had to be

Time gets thin, my old friend

 

Don't know why, don't know why

Don't know why, don't know why

 

My old friend, this song's for you

Cause a few simple verses

Was the least that I could do

To tell the world that you were here

Cause the love and the laughter

Will live on long after

All of the sadness and the tears

We'll meet again, my old friend

 

Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye

 

My old friend, my old friend

Goodbye, goodbye

Song: Enough Cryin'

 

Lyrics :

 

[1st Verse

Cause um

The sex was good

You had my mind

And I

I let you

Come back

Every time

You would

Violate

And cross

The line

And you

Knew that I

Would be

The type

To always

Wait so patiently

Thinkin'

You was comin'

Home to me

Well

Damn, I never heard

The keys

Or

Felt ya taps

Sayin' are

You sleep

 

 

[Chorus

Don't wanna

Play house

No more

So dumb

To think

You gon'

Marry me

I got to be out

My mind

To think I

Need someone

To carry me

I've done enough

Cryin', cryin', cryin'

(Cryin', cryin', cryin')

It's time to say

Bye, bye, bye

It's time I

Do something

For me

 

[2ND Verse

It's time

I choose

My foes

Choose my friends

Be with my family

They been asking

Girlfriend

Where you been?

We ain't seen

You in weeks

Been chasin'

This fool around

Thinkin' he gon'

Hold me down

I would

Follow his lead

Thinkin' I would

Be the one

He keep around

When I ain't need

Not ya finance

And all that

I needed

Real commitment

I really couldn't see it

Not the real man

Said you was being

In this relationship

So many men

Think all

A girl needs

Is to be sold

A dream

But I won't

Fall for it

 

[Chorus]

Don't wanna

Play house

No more

So dumb

To think

You gon'

Marry me

Don't wanna

Play house no more

You treat me wrong

Tired of you

Playin' me

I been lookin'

At the front door

This ain't yours

So let me do me

Don't wanna

Play house no more

No more

Tired of you

Playin' me

I've done enough

Cryin', cryin', cryin'

It's time

I do

Something for Me

 

[brook's Rap

You turned ya back

And back

I came runnin'

But the simple

Fact is

That you

Ain't want me

I done enough

Lyin' and cryin'

To myself

Nothin' left

To do but move

What else

Can I do but leave?

I believed-ed you

But now I gotta breeze

I be's with LT

When you come

To ya senses

But then

It's too late

That's always

How it be

Catch me

With the B's

On the wheels

Giuseppe on the heels

Shoulda Marc Jacob

Fe Fe bag me

When you had me

Next dude

Will gladly

Pick up

Where you left off

Ice me

Wife me

You ain't gon'

Have me

 

[Mary]

Cryin', cryin', cryin'

(Cryin', cryin', cryin')

It's time to say

Bye, bye, bye

It's time I

Do something

For me

 

[Chorus 2x]

Don't wanna

Play house

No more

So dumb

To think

You gon'

Marry me

I got to be out

My mind

To think I

Need someone

To carry me

Fiona Apple - Sleep to dream

 

I tell you how I feel

But you don't care

I say tell me the truth

But you don't dare

You say love is a hell

You cannot bear

And I say gimme mine

Back and then go there

For all I care

I got my feet

On the ground

And I don't go to

Sleep to dream

You got your head

In the clouds

And you're not at

All what you seem

This mind, this body

And this voice cannot be

Stifled by your deviant ways

So don't forget what I told you

Don't come around

I got my own hell to raise

 

I have never been

So insulted in all my life

I could swallow the seas

To wash down all this pride

First you run like a fool

Just to be at my side

And now you run like a fool

But you just run to hide

And I can't abide

 

I got my feet

On the ground

And I don't go

To sleep to dream

You got your head

In the clouds and

You're not at all

What you seem

This mind, this body

And this voice cannot be

Stifled by your deviant ways

So don't forget what I told you

Don't come around

I got my own hell to raise

 

Don't make it a big deal

Don't be so sensitive

We're not playing

A game anymore

You don't have

To be so defensive

Don't you plead me your case

Don't bother to explain

Don't even show me your face

'Cause it's a crying shame

Just go back to the rock

From under which you came

Take the sorrow you gave

And all the stakes you claim

And don't forget the blame

 

I got my feet

On the ground

And I don't go

To sleep to dream

You got your head

In the clouds and

You're not at all

What you seem

This mind, this body

And this voice cannot be

Stifled by your deviant ways

So don't forget

What I told you

Don't come around

I got my own hell to raise

Don't Want No Woman, Bobby "Blue" Bland

 

I don't want no woman, telling me what to do

I don't want no woman, telling me what to do

Well, I'm grown now darling, just as grown as you

I don't want no woman, telling me this and that

I don't want no woman, telling me this and that

Yes, it makes me mad darling, and I don't go for that

You drink your whiskey, I drink my wine

You tend to your business, and I tend to mine

I don't want no woman, telling me how to live my life

Yes, I'm gonna leave you darling, 'cause I don't want no wife

I don't want no woman, telling me how to live my life

Yes, I'm gonna leave you darling, 'cause I don't want no wife

You used to boss your man, that I can't deny

Before I let you boss me, I'll lay down and die

I don't want no woman, telling me how to live my life

Yes, I'm gonna leave you darling, 'cause I don't want no wife

Pearl Jam Black

 

Hey...oooh...

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me as her body once did

All five horizons revolved around her soul

As the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds

Of what was everything?

Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...

 

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

I can feel their laughter, so why do I stare

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

How quick the sun can, drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures sad, all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah...

Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why

Can't it be, can't it be mine

 

Not totally a dedication just the feelings during those 'lonely' moments without her.

Hoobastank - The Reason

 

 

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

 

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That's why I need you to hear

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you (x4)

 

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

 

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

30 Seconds to Mars

"ATTACK"

 

Just listening to this song brings chills all over.... just amazing....

 

I won't suffer, be broken

Get tired, or wasted

Surrender to nothing

I'll give up what I

Started

And stop this

From end to beginning

A new day is coming

And I am finally free

 

Runaway, Runaway

I'll attack

Runaway, Runaway

Go chase yourself

Runaway, Runaway

Now I'll attack

I'll attack, I'll attack

 

I would've kept you forever

But we had to sever

It ended for both of us

Faster than a...

kill off this thinking

It's starting to sink in

I'm losing control now

Without you I can finally see

 

Runaway, Runaway

I'll attack

Runaway, Runaway

Go chase yourself

Runaway, Runaway

Now I'll attack

I'll attack, I'll attack

 

Your promises

They look like lies

Your honesty's

Like a back that hides a knife

I promise you

I promise you

I am finally free

 

Runaway, Runaway

I'll attack

Runaway, Runaway

Go chase yourself

Runaway, Runaway

Now I'll attack

I'll attack, I'll attack

I will attack

 

Your promises

I promise you

This song by the Wreckers was like my anthem for a few months!

 

 

Leave The Pieces

 

 

You're not sure that you love me

But you're not sure enough to let me go

Baby it ain't fair you know

To just keep me hangin' 'round

 

You say you don't wanna hurt me

Don't want to see my tears

So why are you still standing here

Just watching me drown

 

[Chorus]

And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine

Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine

Just take your love and hit the road

There's nothing you can do or say

You're gonna break my heart anyway

So just leave the pieces when you go

 

You can drag out the heartache

Baby you can make it quick

Really get it over with

And just let me move on

 

Don't concern yourself

With this mess you've left for me

I can clean it up, you see

Just as long as you're gone

 

[Chorus]

 

You not making up your mind

Is killing me and wasting time

I need so much more than that

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

[Chorus]

 

Leave the pieces when you go

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Leave the pieces when you go
