"Try" by Nelly Furtado

All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try

I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn, the more I learn
The more I cry, the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try

All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

Easy to Ignore - Sixpence None the Richer

You and the moon are a beautiful sight to me.
The stars in your eyes make it really hard to see you.
A night in the sun is all I really want.
You and me with the best of both for once.

Oh and night breaks.
My heart could not ache
Anymore.
Am I that easy to ignore?

You let your song blow right through me.
Your mighty intellect makes you mighty hard to see.
Will there come a time for me to be
More to you, more to me?

Oh and night breaks.
My heart could not ache
Anymore.
Am I that easy to ignore?

My heart could not ache
Anymore.
Am I that easy to ignore?

You and the moon are a beautiful sight to me.

Razor Sharp - Collide

sliding into the vortex
holding on to core
building walls unstable
seeping down
through the crevice
i've been here before
creeping down through the crevice
i've seen there before

fragile
these teeth are razor sharp
been through been through the vortex
dissolve and disintegrate

icicle the river is deep
underneath is all you see
draws you in
from near or far

take me down through the crevice
i'm not here anymore
creeping down through come
in through the crevice
been through walls
leaving it all into
been through the vortex
and i'm so insoluble
feel unstable
in at the core
searching through for perspective
what your looking for
these teeth are razor sharp
these teeth are razor sharp
razor sharp sharp
feel unstable
feel unstable
razor sharp fragile

Nelly Furtado - Say it Right

In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight you tonight

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?

Doo Wop ~ Lauryn Hill

It's been three weeks since you've been looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamins
You act like you ain't hear him then gave him a little trim
To begin, how you think you really gon' pretend
Like you wasn't down then you called him again
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even fooling him
If you did it then, then you probably f*ck again
Talking out your neck sayin' you're a Christian
A Muslim sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in
Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin
Showing off your ass 'cause you're thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hardrock when you're really a gem
Babygirl, respect is just a minimum
Niggas f*cked up and you still defending them
Now Lauryn is only human
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn.
It's silly when girls sell their soul because it's in
Look at where you be in hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails done by Koreans
Come again
Come again, come again, come again, come again

Guys you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing

The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Timbs than his women
Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend popping yang like you got yen
Let's not pretend, they wanna pack pistol by they waist men
Cristal by the case men, still in they mother's basement
The pretty face, men claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of their three and four kids men
They facing a court case when the child's support late
Money taking, heart breaking now you wonder why women hate
men
The sneaky silent men the punk domestic violence men
The quick to shoot the semen stop acting like boys and be men
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
Come again
Come again, come again, come again, come again

Girls you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing

Winding Road ~ Bonnie Somerville *~*

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VUly7-9Izw

Well, the rain keeps on coming down
It feels like a flood in my head
And that road keeps on calling me
Screaming to everything lying ahead

And it's a winding road
I've been walking for a long time
I still don't know
Where it goes
And it's a long way home
I've been searching for a long time
I still have hope
I'm gonna find my way home

And I can see a little house
On top of the hill
And I can smell the ocean
The salt in the air
And I can see you
You're standing there
And you're washing your car
And I can see California sun in your hair

And its a winding road
I've been walking for a long time
Still don't know
Where it goes
And it's a long way home
I've been searching for a long time
Still have hope
I'm gonna find my way home

All these dreams took me so far
And I felt I just couldn't go on
And I want to hang
Out the window of your car
And see just how good this baby can run

'Cause it's a winding road
I've been walking for a long time
And I still don't know
Where it goes
And it's a long way home
I've been searching for a long time
Still have hope
We're gonna find our way home

It's a winding road
Still have hope
One day we'll find our way home
It's a long way home
I've been searching for a long time
Still have hope
We're gonna find our way home

It's a long way home
It's a long way home

Leave The Pieces ~ The Wreckers

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 wanna 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

Now 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
Oh yeah
Leave the pieces when you go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Leave the pieces when you go

I Think I'm Paranoid - Garbage

You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove

I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it

[Chorus:]
Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole

I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated

[Chorus:]
Paranoid
I think I'm paranoid

[Chorus:]
Steal me, deal me, anyway you heal me
Maim me, tame me, you can never change me
Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me
Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right

Bend me
Break me
Any way you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right.

Zee Avi - Bitter Heart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0rafi5CG5M

Sun rays come down as seen when they hit the ground,
Children spinning around till they fall down down down.
I wait for you: it's been two hours now,
You're still somewhere in town,
Your dinners getting cold.
I rest my case you are always this late,
And you know how much I hate waiting around 'round 'round,
Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside,
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is gettin' just a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine.
And then you come and tell me the same reason as you did yesterday,
So tell me whats her name.
Doo doo da dum, doo doo da dum, doo doo doo doo doo doo da da dum dum, da da da da dum, da da da da dum, da da da da dum.
Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is just getting a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine.

Pat Benatar will always be my childhood favourite...Lita Ford was pretty cool too

Baby, I'm a Fool - Melody Gardot

How was I to know that this was always only just a little game to you?
All the time I felt you gave your heart I thought that I would do the same for you,
Tell the truth I think I should have seen it coming from a mile away,
When the words you say are,
"Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love"

If I gave a thought to fascination I would know it wasn't right to care,
Logic doesn't seem to mind that I am fascinated by the love affair,
Still my heart would benefit from a little tenderness from time to time,
But never mind,
Cause baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love

Baby I should hold on just a moment and be sure it's not for vanity,
Look me in the eye and tell me love is never based upon insanity,
Even when my heart is beating hurry up the moment's fleeting,
Kiss me now, Don't ask me how,
Cause Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall,
Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall,
And I would never tell if you became a fool and fell in Love.

Ordinary Day ~ Vanessa Carlton

Perfectly Flawed - Otep

(Whispering conscience:)
If you do this...
If you do this...
If you do this, you'll never have a chance to try again.
If you do this, you'll never have a chance to try.

(Singer:)
It's the same sound.
Same sting.
The same collapse
Of everything.

It's the same slice.
Same blade.
The same lie.
Same ol' vein.

(Whispering conscience:)
My weight,
My face,
My height,
My race;
I'm a mistake.

My weight,
My face,
My height,
My race;
I'm such a disgrace.

(Singer:)
You're perfectly flawed.
You're perfectly incomplete.
Like cracks in the glass
And faded photographs.

You're perfectly flawed.
You're perfectly incomplete.
a work in progress
Imperfection's make you unique.

(Whispering conscience:)
Nothing left to lose, just try again.
Nothing left to lose, just try again.

(Singer:)
Its the same doubt.
The same dream.
It's the same sabotage
'Cause I'm the enemy.

It's the same night.
Same day.
It's the same parasites
Feeding on the betrayed.

(Whispering conscience:)
My weight,
My face,
My height,
My race;
I'm a mistake.

My weight,
My face,
My height,
My race;
I'm such a disgrace.

(Singer:)
You're perfectly flawed.
You're perfectly incomplete.
Like cracks in the glass
And faded photographs.

You're perfectly flawed.
You're perfectly incomplete.
A work in progress;
Imperfection's make you unique.

A disguise of self-deception
Hides my secrets perfectly.
I'm rejecting my reflection
'Cause I hate the way it judges me.

(Singer & Whisperer:)
Don't you do it - you're not even you yet.
Don't you do it - you're not even you yet.

You're perfectly flawed.
You're perfectly incomplete.
Like cracks in the glass
And faded photographs.

You're perfectly flawed.
You're perfectly incomplete.
A work in progress
Imperfections make you unique.

Stay Awake - Lydia

Live it up, live it up
Or just come back home
Yeah, cause these city lights
Are too much for you alone
But San Francisco sounds quite lovely
And so I'll just wait for your call
I promise, I promise I'm holy, lonely

So stay awake and I'll stay
I try and go, but your game
It waits for me and you, love

So cover up for the rain
You see in way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
Cause we sure know best
Now that you're gone

Cause I can't breathe
With these words on my tongue
But San Francisco still sounds lovely
Cause he swears he still loves you
He still loves you
He called, lonely

So stay awake and I'll stay
I try and go, but your game
It waits for me and you, love

So cover up for the rain
You see in way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
But you're still keeping me sane

It's still in the way that I think nobody is watching
Yeah, nobody's watching me and
It's still in the way that I think nobody is watching
Yeah, nobody's watching me and
It's still in the way that I think nobody is watching
Yeah, nobody's watching

The rain
You see in way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
But you're still keeping me sane

The rain
You see in way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
But you're still keeping me sane

Strong Enough ~ Sheryl Crow

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn3TWvmT_w0

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I�d be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing�s true and nothing�s right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can�t change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I�ll believe
Lie to me
But please don�t leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It�s try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I�ve shown you that I just don�t care
When I�m throwing punches in the air
When I�m broken down and I can�t stand
Will you be strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I�ll believe
Lie to me
But please don�t leave

Opheliac - Emilie Autumn

I’m your Opheliac
I’ve been so disillusioned
I know you’d take me back
But still I feign confusion
I couldn’t be your friend
My world was to unstable
You might have seen the end
But you were never able
To keep me breathing
As the water rises up again
Before I slip away

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you gone through hell
And I say I can’t stay

You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone becomes my enemy
And when there's nothing more you can do
I'm gona blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me
It's the Opheliac in me…

Im your Opheliac
My stalkings prove my virtues
I'm open to attack
But I don’t want to hurt you (hurt you)
Whether I swim or sink
That's no concern of yours now
How could you possibly think
You had the power to know how
To keep me breathing
As the water rises up again
Before I slip away

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you gone through hell
And I say I can’t stay

You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone becomes my enemy
And when there's nothing more you can do
I'm gona blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me
It's the Opheliac in me…

Studies show
Intelligent girls are more depressed
Because they know
What the world is really like
Don't think for a beat it makes it better
When you sit her down and tell her
Everything gonna be all right
She knows in society she either is
A devil or an angel with no in between
She speaks in the third person
So she can forget that she's me

Doubt thou the stars on fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt
Doubt thou the stars on fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt
Doubt thou the stars on fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt I love

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you gone through hell
And I say I can’t stay

You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone becomes my enemy
And when there's nothing more you can do
I'm gona blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
But never doubt

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you gone through hell
And I say I can’t stay

You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone becomes my enemy
And when there's nothing more you can do
I'm gona blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
