My Pink Shoelace

I want you stay
Never go away from me
Stay forever
but now, now that you’re gone, all i can do is pray for you
to be here beside me again

*Why did you have to leave me?
when you said that love would conquer all
Why did you have to leave me
When you said that dreaming was good as reality

and now i must move on
trying to forget all the memories
of you near me
but i can’t let go of your love that has taught me
to hold on
(repeat from the beginning)
(repeat *)

I want you to stay never go away from me, stay forever
I want to stay but i have to go my way…
oooooo ahhhhh-ooo

I cannot get this song off my head. Ever since I saw “Drive Me Crazy” starring Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier, that song was played on a bar scene and it took me what seemed like a month to find out what the title was and who sang it. It even seemed like forever to download the song online.

Up until now I still cannot find the lyrics online but I am able to download the entire album “Somewhere Over the Radio” by Deadstar. I love it and wished they haven’t disbanded, it would be great to hear new albums from them.

Run Baby Run by Deadstar

I have seen the 2004 movie starring Gerard Butler as Erik, Emmy Rossum as Christine and Patrick Wilson as Raoul on the big screen and bought the DVD copy of it as well … I just finished watching it for the nth time and it still makes me teary-eyed.  I have been obsessed with this theatrical piece ever since I can remember, I have not read the original by Gaston Leroux but has read “The Phantom” by Susan Kaye over and over, I love it. So when the 2004 rendition came to the big screen I was very excited.  This part gives me the chill every time I watch it …

Here’s a stunning tv performance of the song “All I Ask Of You” by Emmy Rossum and Patrick Wilson, I find it amazing how calm he looks while singing … and Emmy is just … perfect! I love them both.

Hopefully one day I’d be able to watch it on stage … *sigh* what I’d give to be able to do that now, I know you might think am the emo/goth/rock chick but I do have a flair for Broadway and the musicals, this being just one of ‘em.

The Phantom of the Opera reminds me of Belle and the Beast the major difference is it had a happy ending and they live happily ever after … but then The Phantom of the Opera won’t be as dramatic, as haunting, as tragic as it is if Christine chose Erik now would it? … *sigh*

This rendition of the song “Phantom of the Opera” by the Finnish band Nightwish, old Nightwish that is with Tarja Turunen on the lead vocals is an absolute favorite of mine … I love it more than the Sarah Brightman and Antonio Bandera’s version. When they kicked her out and replaced her with Anette Olzon, the band declared that they will never play this song live ever again and I can imagine why. It wouldn’t sound right if Tarja’s not singing it. Her voice is just powerful.

Lets just say am one of the many fans who love old Nightwish more than the new one. These guys rock!

Does he look familiar? If you’re already a teenager during the early 90’s and you love alternative rock music then am sure you’ll recognize him. But for those who doesn’t then that’s Dave Pirner, lead vocalist of Soul Asylum. That pic was taken prolly when he was in his late 20’s if my calculations right he’s prolly 45 years old at the moment.

Don’t get me wrong am not that old, when the band released their double platinum album, Grave Dancer’s Union in 1992 which contains Runaway Train (one of my faves) I was still 7 years old.

What can I say, I have a thing for guys with long messy hair … plus with his voice … that’s absolute big crush material.

I’ll never think of my petname the same way again ever … after hearing the latest single from my of my favorite bands.

Bowling For Soup is scheduled to release their seventh studio album this September 29th and the song “My Wena” is the first single off the album. The band is still at its finest for double entendres without watching the video you’d probably think they’re singing about a certain girl but boy you’re dead wrong.  I find it down right hilarious and I’ll never think of my petname as just a normal petname. Good thing some of my friends call me Weng …  am definitely nobody’s weiner … lol.

The music video’s in youtube though it has been flagged inappropriate by the community users not only because of the lyrics but because of the video itself, but hey … am sure YOU’RE way legal to watch it lol.

David and I seldom have this time to talk on the floor what with our schedules but I did manage to have a short chit chat with him and as usual it all revolves around music. Told him NIN would be playing live at the Araneta Coliseum this August and like me and every other music addict out there he wants to go too. Anyways he told me he found this cool album entitled Pop Goes Punk … its a compilation of punk artists doing several covers of pop hit songs. Saw the volume 2 cd as one of the best buy finds at www.buy.com question is do they ship here.

Finally!!! Great solid rock bands coming to PI. Saw this while checking out the band’s site and they’re rocking the crowd on the 5th of August at the Araneta Coliseum and I cannot efffin go on leave. Grrrrrrrrr …. of all times to be on the loser side of the coin.

To satisfy my love for music not only to do I keep a mounting amount of music files on my notebook to which I listed to when I am at home. I’ve had several types of mp3 players, only 2 topped the list: the Zen Creative Player and my recent one, a 32gig iPod Touch which I have had since December of last year and boy I love it.

Mitchy, Aisat and I dined at Big Mao which was overlooking the stage built on the Terraces for John Veseley’s concert. The whole place was packed with people and since we were inside we only heard him sing. Was not able to take pictures but was only able to catch a glimpse of him from a far. *sigh*

He sang if am not mistaken around 3 to 4 songs only but it was worth it. I love the voice, the lyrics and of course the man behind it. Weeeeeee.

John Vesely better known as the person behind Secondhand Serenade is coming to Cebu!!! Wooohoooo!!! You got that right, he’d be serenading his audience at the Terraces come March 31, 2009, 7PM @ the Terraces in Ayala Cebu and the tickets were all sold out. Unbelievable. Anyways, I guess I’ll be listening and watching from the sidelines. Weeeeee So excited here.

Went on half day at work. Dio and Boss Ger have been pretty understanding … must be bec. of  the seriousness on my face when I approached them. A year ago mom passed away, a year ago I cried like a baby, a year ago I hurt and still am for her passing, a year ago I lost my balance, my purpose, my reason for living.

Momie Lai asked how I was, I said I dunno … she asked, are you coping? I said … am pretending to and I think am doing a very good job. Why bother the people around me with my pain? She said she’s glad am pretending coz at times it made it easier for others … but was it any easier for me? She didn’t ask.

Spent the entire afternoon at the cemetery performing the rituals required of my lineage. There I was a year after and I thought I’d be any better … I swore I’d be better and stronger … but it felt like I was back at square one. No sense of balance, no sense of purpose … like an automaton following the rigors of a hidden program.

RJ offered to accompany me, so she can visit mom too. I said maybe next time … but on this date, I prefer to dance to the music alone. My pain, my loneliness, my bitterness for taking her away they’re all mine … I don’t want her to see that, for like everyone else she hoped that am moving on … she might see behind the facade and am afraid I’d crumble then and there.

And just like a year ago … here I am crying for what I lost, for what was and for what will never be. What I would give just to her back … safe, healthy and happy.

This is one of the soundtracks from the movie John Tucker Must Die, love the beat of this song and this has been a regular tune on my playlist.

I’m feeling kinda strange
‘Cause of all the things you say
Yeah I know, too good to believe
This probably won’t work
‘Cause your kind of a jerk
And for sure you’re way too cool for me

Yeah I’m a fool for love
‘Cause I just can’t give you up
I’m a fool for love
Wish I could stop, wish I could stop
I’m a fool for love
‘Cause I just can’t get enough
I’m a fool for love
Can’t get enough, can’t get enough of your
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I’m a fool for love

No matter how I try
Cannot plot to make you cry
So I won’t take you seriously
‘Cause I miss you so much
I get my panties in a bunch
Everytime your not close to me

Yeah I’m a fool for love
‘Cause I just can’t give you up
I’m a fool for love
Wish I could stop, wish I could stop
I’m a fool for love
‘Cause I just can’t get enough
I’m a fool for love
Can’t get enough, can’t get enough of your
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I’m a fool for love

So just want me, say you want me
I don’t know if I belong
To you, not sure I believe but
You could prove me wrong
Yeah I’m a fool for love

Yeah I’m a fool for love
‘Cause I just can’t give you up
I’m a fool for love
Wish I could stop, wish I could stop
I’m a fool for love
‘Cause I just can’t get enough
I’m a fool for love
Can’t get enough, can’t get enough of your
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I’m a fool for love

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la, yeah I’m a fool for love
La la
La la
La la
23 on the 23rd … presents are very much appreciated. lol!

Here’s another fave of mine from Boys Like Girls, thanks to D who downloaded their album for me … I got them streaming on my player right now.

I got your runaway smile in my piggybank baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
You were worth the hundred thousand miles
But you couldn't stay awhile

I got your little brown shirt in my bottom drawer baby
And your little white socks in the top drawer
You were always leaving your shit around
And gone without a sound

Yeah I'm the first to fall,
And the last to know
Where'd you go?

Now i'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound

I got a first class ticket to a night all alone
And a front row seat up right by the phone
'Cause you're always on my mind
And I'm running out of time

I've got your hair on my pillow
And your smell in my sheets
And it makes me think about you
With the sand in your feet
Is it all you thought it'd be?
You mean everything to me

But I'm the first to fall,
And the last to know
Where'd you go?

Now i'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound

And when you hit the coast
I hope you think of me
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost
Of what we used to be

You're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Make your wishes
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Make your wishes
You're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Make your wishes
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Make your wishes

You're a chance taker, heartbreaker,
Got me wrapped around your finger
Chance taker, heartbreaker,
Got me wrapped around your finger

I got your runaway smile in my piggybank baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
If I drive a hundred thousand miles
Would you let me stay a while?

Now i'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound

And when you hit the coast
I hope you think of me
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost
Of what we used to be

Now i'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound

And when you hit the coast
Maybe you'll finally see
And then you'll turn it all around
And you'll come back to me

23 on the 23rd … presents are very much appreciated. lol!

Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa
Today in the blink of an eye
Im holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation; what Im feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I dont know, whoa
Today Im on my own
I cant move a muscle and I cant pick up the phone, I dont know

And now I’m itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Yeah Im walking on a tightrope
I’m wrapped up in vines
I think Ill make it out but you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

*** Was watching MTV while doing my lapse on the treadmill when this song came on and I was captivated. Like what Daddy Joe said, the emo in me … oh well … love it and now am asking someone to download their album for me ***
23 on the 23rd … presents are very much appreciated. lol!

Superstitions aren’t meant for lovers
Under covers, undiscovered is your skin
I am lonely, please let me in
You’re probably wondering what I was proving
Are you choosing?
Am I losing you tonight?
Is it over, over?

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

Now you’ve had your chance
So lets try my way, it’s my day
To show you what you’re missing, turn around
And feel the winds of change upon your face again
The warm breath of your closest friend
I’m waiting, I’m waiting

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

I’m scared we’ll fall apart tonight
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
I’m scared we’ll never make it right
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
Take my hand and hold it tight
Hold it tight

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

One of the classics I cannot seem to get over with, the lyrics plus Celine’s voice made it all the more … powerful.

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
Lost is how I’m feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside’s too much to take
That all ends when I’m with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I’m far away
Never wonder where I am
‘Cause I’m always by your side
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened but I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can’t go on
Is light years away
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened but I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened but I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love

“I want to tell the whole world about a friend of mine
This little light of mine, I’m feelin’ let it shine
I’m feelin’ take y’all back to them better times
I’m feelin’ talk about my momma if y’all don’t mind (Hey Mama)”

So I was sleeping in the lounge when around 11PM I was awakened by some music, possibly someone’s alarm, the song has the words posted above and it doesn’t seem to continue playing to the next lines. It repeatedly played those lines over and over and it must have been repeating for the 3rd time before the owner woke up and shut it down. Whew!!!

Thats not the end, on the jeepney ride on my way home a fellow passenger who somehow looked like a wannabee gangsta was fooling around with his phone when all of a sudden the same song (the one in the lounge) played. Being the curious me I asked him what’s the title and he answered readily Hey Mama … one of the many Kanye West Ringtones he has. Waaaaahhh certainly a fan!! Well at least that solved the mysterious last song syndrome I’ve had all day.

I went out with a friend to accompany her with some shopping responsibilities, hehe. I really didn’t want to go out since I still had a lot to do in order to update some things but she was really persistent. Out of good will (and a little bribery), I a joined her in her quest for good finds so we went to the mall. At least the mall had just opened when we got there because I don’t want to wait for even a few more minutes to get business going, she knows how impatient I can get when things get delayed.

We passed by some designer shops which were classy, she told me she was going to give her aunt something because she received a gift from her as well. She made me guess what but since I was too tired to even think about gifts and things she gave me clue instead.

She told me that she’s going to watch a concert of one of the major pop icons of all time. After some more probing, she told me that the one that’s been playing in the shop is the artist that she’s going to get ready for. In the background, it was Madonna and Justin Timberlake’s hit “4 minutes” was playing. I was in total shock and she laughed at the expression on my face on how surprised I was.

She’s preparing for a trip in the United Kingdom since her aunt purchased some Madonna Tickets Cardiff. I said “Wow”, I couldn’t get believe she purchased some Madonna Tickets and actually get to see her perform live. I asked her how she was able to get some passes and she told me her aunt had some good connections to get at least a place near the stage. Madonna Tickets London is still available and she even wanted me to join but I couldn’t as I still have to prepare a trip in Thailand; which I’m also excited about.

Well, that’s that, she’ll be gone for a week whereas my unpaid leave was already approved. I’m hoping that everything turns out fine and goes out smoothly. This is another chance for us to explore the world and satisfy our craving for traveling.  I’m sure that when we get back from our destinations, we’ll have a whole load of stories (not to mention pictures) to share. I’m already excited just thinking about it.

~ This song was sang by Albert on one of the videoke sessions we’ve had and I can’t seem to get it out of my head. It’s literally one of the songs thats kept on playing on my head over and over. Weeeeeee ~

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go
Jamaica

Off the florida keys
There’s a place called kokomo
That’s where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

To martinique, that monserrat mystique

We’ll put out to sea
And we’ll perfect our chemistry
By and by we’ll defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo

~ Am on leave … again!!! and this song has been playing on my player since early this morning … over and over .. I can’t seem to get enough of it. Now this is what I call a heavy dose of last song syndrome. ~

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep (keep) bleeding love (love)
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing (ooh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (ooh ooh)
Keep bleeding (oh ooh ooh)
Keep, keep bleeding love (love)
(Oh) you cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love (yeah ah yeah)
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (oh, I keep bleeding love)
Keep bleeding (I keep)
Keep, keep bleeding love (oh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

~~ Am a huge music freak and on my way to work this was the song playing in the cab … I can’t help but hum along with it … it’d be nice I guess to be stuck on someone for once … and for a change.

Stuck on you
(I’ve) Got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you till the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

Stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it’s time for me to come on home
Guess I’m on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

I’m leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I’m goin’
Packed up my troubles and I thrown them all away
Cause this time little darling
I’m coming home to stay

Stuck on you
I’ve got this feelin’ down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’till the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

Come on baby get your shoes on
You’re looking like you need a rescue
Underneath the southern moonlight
Where only I can find you
We can do it with our eyes closed
We can sit and talk for hours
Underneath the golden flowers
Where my sunshine grows

Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
Sugar may hide
Sugar may learn

I could give a thousand reasons
I could live a thousand lives
I know I would always meet you
Underneath a summer sky
So come on tell me love is glory
Come on tell me love is real
Show me what your heart is made of
Show me what I need to feel

( CHORUS )

Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I’m right
Give me your love don’t hesitate
Show me tonight

I waited so long for a love so true
So I’m giving it all right back to you
I’m giving you my best of silver
I’m giving you my best of gold

Sugar may hide
Sugar may burn

So come on baby get those shoes on
And we can run away from here
Talk about a life we’re starting
We can start it all right here

Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I’m right
Give me your love don’t hesitate
Show me tonight

Just talk yourself up
And tear yourself down
You built your wooden wall
Now find a way around
Well what’s the problem?
You’ve got a lot of nerve

So what did you think I would say?
You can’t run away, you can’t run away
So what did you think I would say?
You can’t run away, you can’t run away
You wouldn’t

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

I’m not so naive
My sorry eyes can see
The way you fly shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You’ll get what you deserve

So what did you think I would say?
You can’t run away, you can’t run away
So what did you think I would say?
You can’t run away, no you can’t run away
You wouldn’t

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don’t you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight with your bare hands about it now

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay well did you
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Ooh, ooh

Give me back my point of view
Cause I just can’t think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo of the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

No sir, well I don’t wanna be the blame, not anymore
It’s your turn, so take a seat we’re settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt, so much?

I can’t decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you’re not here
Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities I’m sure you’ve heard

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

Hey, make your way to me, to me
And I’ll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let’s start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That’s what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

Now I can’t trust myself with anything but this
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

2 AM and she calls me cause I’m still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don’t love him, winter just wasn’t my season.
Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you’re all here for the very same reason.

Cause you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
and life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button, girl
So cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
“Just a day,” he said down to the flask in his fist
Ain’t been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he’s been down for awhile
But my God it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him maybe I’ll just sing about it

Cause you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button, boys
so cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breath just breathe

There’s a light at each end of this tunnel
You shout cause you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
And these mistakes you’ve made
You’ll just make them again if you’ll only try turnin’ around

2 AM and I’m still awake writing this song
If I get it all down on paper it’s no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin’ out aloud
And I know that you’ll use them however you want to.

But you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand, yeah breathe
Just breathe, oh oh breathe, just breathe, oh breathe,
just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe

When I heard Don’t Cha by Pussycat Dolls way back I used to think it was cool having a female group collaborate with a rap artist. the song was stuck in my head for quite sometime, when asked who the artist was my immediate response was PSD, completely forgetting the fact that it was a collaboration. While this song was playing on my playlist at one time I did get the chance to search online for the lyrics and ran across Busta Rhymes Biography, an interesting read for those who are a huge fan and for the curious ones as well. Definitely one of the big names in the music industry.

No sir, well I don’t wanna be the blame, not anymore.

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you’re not here.
‘Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I’m sure you’ve heard.

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I’ll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let’s start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That’s what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now I can’t trust myself with anything but this,
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

she’s blood, flesh and bone
no tucks or silicone
she’s touch smell sight taste and sound
but somehow i can’t believe that anything should happen
i know where i belong and nothing’s gonna happen

cause she’s so high
high above me
she’s so lovely
she’s so high
high above me
like cleopatra, joan of arc, or aphrodite
she’s so high
high above me

first class and fancy free
she’s high society
she’s got the best of everything
what could a guy like me ever really offer
she’s perfect as she can be
why should i even bother

cause she’s so high
high above me
she’s so lovely
she’s so high
like cleopatra, joan of arc or aphrodite
she’s so high
high above me

she comes to speak to me
i freeze immediately
cause what she says sounds so unreal
but somehow i can’t believe that anything should happen
i know where i belong and nothing’s gonna happen

‘cos she’s so high
high above me
she’s so lovely
she’s so high
like cleopatra, joan of arc or aphrodite
‘cos she’s so high
high above me

~~~ The original was from Tal Bachman, but I like Kurt’s version better~~~

Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love
I try to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you
When I’m gone?

You say you care for me
But hide it well
How can you love someone not yourself?

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you
When I’m gone?

And when I’m gone who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?
I can’t go on let you loose it all It’s more then I can take
Who’ll ease your pain?
Ease your pain

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you?
And I will give you strength when you’re not strong?
Who’ll watch over you when I’ve gone away?

Snow is on the ground
Winter’s come
You long to hear my voice
But I’m long gone

~ was talking to my previous team lead earlier this afternoon and as usual music would be part of the conversation, he sent me an mp3 file of this song and its just amazing. ~
