and i know that it's a wonderful world
but i can't feel it right now
well i thought that i was doing well
but i just want to cry now
well i know that it's a wonderful world
from the sky down to the sea
but i can only see it when you're here,
here with me

hard to believe that it's not over tonight
just give me one more chance to make it right
i may not make it through the night
i won't go home without you

i waited eight long months
she finally set him free,
i told him i can't lie
he was the only one for me
two weeks and we had caught on fire
she's got it out for me
but i wear the biggest smile

and i don't want the world to see me
cause i don't think that they'd understand
when everything's made to be broken
i just want you to know who i am

you're the closes to heaven that i'll ever be
and i don't want to go home right now

everywhere i go, everyone i meet, everytime i try to fall in love, they all wanna know why i'm so broken? why am i so cold? why am i so hard inside? why am i scared? what am i afraid of? i don't even know, this story never had an end, i've been waiting, i've been searching,i've been hoping, i've been dreaming you would come back, but i know the ending of this story, you're never coming back, never.

some days are good.
some days are not so good.
respect yourself.
be what you feel. respect
others, they have much to give.
define your dreams,
believe in them, and they will
become what is real.
have fun. life is now.

success is never final,
failure is never fatal,
courage always counts.

"people talk about things that are 'bigger than life.' life is big and beautiful as it is. you just have to take sections from life and put it in fiction form. when you see that, it's just great." - Robert Duvall.

i can't seem to get you out of my head,
the scent of you stlil lingers in my bed.
i wonder how much time will pass
till i can look at you without this mask.
i'm hiding these tears behind a smile
in hopes that you will run a mile
back into my life, so you can see
just how much you mean to me.

"hey! let's get crazy, how 'bout we just get married," she said,
"hey baby, baby boy, i've loved you from the day that we met,
don't care what mom says or if we're ready yet,
cause this don't mean a thing if you're not next to me.
you're who i want to wake up to every morning."

let the rain fall, i don't care.
i'm yours and suddenly, you're mine.

i see nothing in your eyes,
and the more i see, the less i like.

i thought i saw a man brought to life,
he was warm, he came around like he was dignified.
he showed me what it was to cry.
well you couldn't be that man i adored,
you don't seem to know, seem to care
whta your heart is for,
but i don't know him anymore.
there's nothing where he used to lie,
my conversation has run dry
and that's what's going on,
nothing's fine, i'm torn.

you told me i'm tne one
and now you're out of love
in your eyes, it's hard to find you
-buckcherry

if you want to play it like a game
well come on, come on, let's play
cause i'd rather waste my life pretending
than have to forget you for one whole minute
-paramore

regret's how i spell your name
in light of what you have done,
how can you not feel the same?
my love will fade with the sun
as days go by, shed a tear
i hate your face more than life
-autumn to ashes

"don't waste your time regretting all your wrongs. know that in the end, you'll get what your heart longs. try not to risk it all, don't stumble, don't fall. take the time to read the writing on the wall. hold your head high. don't be afraid to say goodbye. stay true and be you. do everything there is to do. live life to the fullest and never look back, there's a reason for the future and a reason for the past. love 'til it hurts, laugh 'til you cry, and when your life flashes before you die, be happy for what you've done. be happy for what you've overcome, and most of all, be proud of what you had become."

it doesn't matter if the song of life
that you sing is simple or complicated,
all that matters is how much you put into that song.
your life is controlled only by what you give to it,
only then will you get something back.
that's why people fall in love.
if they give that feeing, they get it back.
put all you've got into this life,
and when the day comes for you to pass on,
you won't regret that you did.

i wanna hear you laugh
like you really mean it
collapse into me,
tired with joy
-snow patrol

i've gone for too long living like i'm not alive
so i'm gonna start over tonight, beginning with you and i
when this memory fades, i'm gonna make sure it's replaced
with chances, hope embrased, i hope i told you
i'm not going cause i've been waiting for a miracle
and i'm not leaving, i won't let you,
let you give up on a mircale when it might save you
-paramore

and it feels so real from
the outside looking in

i tried to paint you a picture,
the colors were all wrong
black and white didn't fit you,
and all along, you were shaded
with patience and strokes of everything
that i need just to make it, and i can see that
lord knows i've failed you, time and again
but you and me are all right

we won't say our goodbyes, you know it's better that way
we won't break, we won't die, it's just a moment of change
all we are, all we are is everything that's right

i won't let you go this way
honesty is what you need
it sets you free, like
someone to save you

alright, sit down and spill your heart
let's start from the very start
cause i can see by your eyes, you're wasted,
your energy comes and goes
you've taken your time and no,
nothing can change what's happened

as i'm trying just to keep things right
i kill myself to make everything perfect for you

i don't walk right, not like i used to
there's a jump in my step as i rush to see you

"i mean if my muscles ache, it's because i've used 'em. it's hard for me to walk up them steps now, it's cause i walked up 'em every night to lay next to a man who loved me. i got a few wrinkles here and there, but i've layed under thousands of skies with sunny days. i look this way, well, cause i drank and i smoked. i lived and i loved, danced, sweat, and screwed my way through a pretty damn good life if you ask me. getting old ain't bad. getting old, that's earned."

some people fall in love,
i had to crash into it.

i wanna float higher
above waves of electric wires
and stare down on to the street
i see a drunk with kuln-glazed eyes
telling me about the boy i should meet someday

sometimes you love, you learn
and you move on. and that's okay.

i take you for who you are
and the person you are and the
heart that you have and i don't
let anybody interfere with that.
i think truth in time tells all.

this is my chance to make it all happen
in the one city where they say dreams come true.

"you left me. i'm all glued back together now.
i make no apologies for how i chose to repair what you broke"
-grey's anatomy

okay, so sometimes, even the best of us make rash decisions, bad decisons, decisions we pretty much know we'll regret the moment, the minute..especially the morning after. i mean, maybe not regret-regret, cause at least we put ourselves out there. but still, something inside of us decides to do a crazy thing, a thing we know that will probably bite us in the ass, but we do it anyway. what i am saying is, we reap what we sew. what goes around comes around. like i was saying....payback is a bitch.

"i've been to hell and back, i spill shit, trip, and embarass myself. i can't just flutter my eyes and get that boy. my life is messed up, i've been through more shit than you see on TV. nobody's perfect. i've been lied to, heated on, and had my heart stolen. i've fucked up, fucked people up, and been fucked up, but every hit was worth it because i felt it. i knew it was real. life is real and i'm living it wrong everyday. i'm fucking up royally and doing everything opposite, but do i regret one thing? never. because at one point what i did was what i wanted and i got my fucking satisfaction."

and this is how it looks when i am standing on the edge
and this is how i break apart when i finally hit the ground
and this is how it hurts when i pretend i don't feel any pain
and this is how i disappear when i throw myself away

i'm putting miles on my body, 'bout due for a tune up
and this gas station food ain't really helpin', but
i'm loving every minute, every road sing's a
reminder of exactly why we did it to begin with

cause if your love was all i had
in this life, that would be enough
until the end of time

it's one mistake for being together
but let's not ask why it's not right.
you won't be seventeen forever,
and we can get away with this tonight.

you broke down every piece of me
that i thought never needed you.

"stop talking about love. every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. it means nothing. what you feel only matters to you. it's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. it's the only thing that counts."

although it is such a singular word, there are many variations of alone. there is the alone of an empty beach at twilight. there is the alone of an empty hotel room. there is the alone of being caught in a throng of people. there is the alone of missing a particular person. and there is the alone of being with a particular person and realizing that you are still alone.

one last thing before i quit
i never wanted any more than i could fit
into my head, i still remember every single word
you said and all the shit that somehow came with it
stil there's one thing that comforts me since i was
always caged, and now i'm free

feeling on top of the world tonight
nothing could go wrong
everything i ever wanted
shines through my smile

i'm almost alive and i need you to try and save me
it's okay that we're dying, but i need to survive tonight, tonight <3

when was the last time you talked to me? seirously.
i feel like i don't even know you
and i would much rather leave
than stay and watch you make a fool out of me.

when you feel the world shake
from the words that are said
i need a sign to let me know you're here
cause my TV just keeps it all from being clear
i want a reason for the way things have to be
i need a hand to build up some kind of
hope inside of me
i won't give up if you don't give up

i hope you still feel small
when you stand beside the ocean
whenever one door closes, i hope one more opens
promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
and when you get the choice to sit out or dance...
i hope you dance.
