"Name" by Goo Goo Dolls-
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no-one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
Yeah, I won't tell em your name
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
Don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
You grew up way too fast
Now there's nothing to believe
Reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
Yeah, I won't tell em your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down
And I won't tell em your name
"Big Machine" by Goo Goo Dolls (oy, i love them!)
Ecstacy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh, you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothin's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love but you don't care
Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here, but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God, it's good to be alive
[Chorus]
I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you
Still in love with all your sins
Where you stop and I begin
And I'll - I'll be waitin'
Livin' like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl
Drownin in this petty world
And I'm who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all or not
I don't need what you ain't got
[Chorus]
I'm blind and waiting for you
I'm blind and waiting for you
No, I can't believe it's coming true
God, it's good to be alive
I'm still here and waitin' for you
No I can't believe it's coming true
I'm blind and waiting for you
"Spin" by Lifehouse
I'd rather chase your shadow all my life
Than be afraid of my own
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather not know
Where I'll be than
Be alone and convinced that I know
And the world keeps spinning round
My world's upside down
And I-I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you
And I-I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing
Everything I know has let me down
So I will just let go
Let you turn me inside out
Cause I know I'm not sure
About anything
But you wouldn't have it any other way
And the world keeps spinning round
My world's upside down
And I-I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you
And I-I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing
Spinning, turning, watching, burning
All my life has found its meaning
Walking, crawling, climbing, falling
All my life has found its meaning
You and I-I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing
And the world keeps spinning round
My world's upside down
And I-I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you
And I-I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing
"Quasimodo" by Lifehouse
you can be right
and I'll be real
honesty won't be a pain that you'll have to feel
cause I don't need your approval
to find my worth
I'm trapped inside of my own mind
afraid to open my eyes cause of what I'd find and I
don't want to live like this anymore
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
there it goes
does it scare you that I can
be something different than you
would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't
you can't control me
and you can't take away from me who I am
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
you can't change me
you can't break me
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
have you ever felt
like your only comfort was your cage
you're not alone
I've felt the same as you
have you ever felt
like your secrets give you away
you're not alone
I've been there too
cause everyone is looking
and everyone is laughing but I think
everyone feels the same
everybody wants to feel ok
everybody wants to
everybody wants to feel
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
cause I don't want it
I don't want it
you can't change me
you can't break me
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
there it goes
"Bed of Lies" by Matchbox 20
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am
Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
It's not enough just to be sorry
Don't think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we've tendered away
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am
Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just be sorry
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in
Tried to be more than me
And I gave till it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters we've made
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am
I am all that I'll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this
I will not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
'Cause I am
"Send the Pain Below" by Chevelle
I liked
Having hurt
So send the pain below
Where I need it
You used to beg me
To take
Care of things
And smile at the thoughts
Of me failing
But long before
Having hurt
I?d send the pain below
I?d send the pain below
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating (I?d send the pain below)
Much like suffocating (I?d send the pain below)
You used to run me away
All while laughing
Then cry about that fact
?Till I returned.
But long before
Having hurt
I?d send the pain below
I?d send the pain below.
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating (I?d send the pain below)
Much like suffocating (I?d send the pain below)
Much like suffocating
I can?t feel my chest
Need more,
Drop down,
Closing in.
I can?t feel my chest
Drop down
I liked
Having hurt
So send the pain below,
So send the pain below (Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below (Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below (Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below (Much like suffocating)
So send the pain below.

"On a High" by Duncan Sheik (such an addicting song, it's sort of my empowerment song)
"Colorblind" by Counting Crows
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am
Taffy stuck, tongue tied
Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
I am
colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine
I am.... fine
I am fine
those are just a few...
