My Pink Shoelace

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.
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.

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. ~

The thought just hit my head when I remembered him, he told me a year ago about this song that caught him crying as it played on the radio while he was driving. He sent it as a file to my email I never bothered to listen to it back then as it was a reminder of a cruel someone who’s got the same name as mine.

This song just came up to mind out of the blue, digged it up from You Tube and listened to it over and over. This goes out to all those fathers and mothers who did the unspeakable.

The perfect words never crossed my mind
‘Cause there was nothing in there but you

I felt every ounce of me screaming out
But the sound was trapped deep in me

All I’ve wanted just sped right past me
But I was rooted fast to the earth
I could be stuck here for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this here falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close ’cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I don’t wanna wait forever
No, I don’t wanna wait forever

In the confusion and the aftermath
You are my signal fire

The only resolution and the only joy
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eye

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this here falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close ’cause I need you to guide me to safety

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this here falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close ’cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I don’t wanna wait forever
No, I don’t wanna wait forever
No, I don’t wanna wait forever

Come on, without you
I’ll never feel the love inside of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on, come on, come on

~ ’twas what’s on my mind … ben jelen singing you know that we belong … was about to say that to him but am afraid its just me who thinks we belong … so I seek for sleep in the comfort of his proximity wishing for the ride to go on forever ~

Beautiful dawn
Lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I’d rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn
I’m just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.

But now I’m high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn
Melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn
You’re just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.

High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I’m grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you remember me

High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you remember me

- Mitchy likes James Blunt very much especially his hit song, You’re Beautiful, was downloading songs last night when this artist came to mind so I searched for him and downloaded almost all of his songs. This one caught my ear and am hooked, he’s coming over to Manila this May, hopefully by God’s grace I’ll be able to watch his concert. Crossing my fingers for luck.

It’s the things that you do
So physical
It’s the things that you say
So flammable
You know I can’t resist
Boy it’s such a shame
Do you belong to another?

I don’t wanna hurt nobody
But my heart just can’t hold back

It’s the way you make me feel
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don’t care what they say
I’m loving you anyway
It’s the way you make me feel

I’m gonna make you mine
It’s not impossible
Got to let you know
I’m irresistible
Baby can’t you see
You’re the one for me
But you belong to another

I don’t wanna hurt nobody
But my heart just can’t hold back

It’s the way you make me feel
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don’t care what they say
I’m loving you anyway
It’s the way you make me feel

Make me feel, make me feel
Ooooh
Make me feel, make me feel

When I look into your eyes
Every time you smile at me
Oh, I go weak inside
Baby I just can’t hide
My love…

It’s the way you make me feel
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don’t care what they say
I’m loving you anyway
Anyway

It’s the way you
Make me feel, make me feel
Ooooh
Make me feel, make me feel
Tell me how can I walk away
I don’t care what they say
I’m loving you anyway

It’s the way you make me… Feel

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

~ by Secondhand Serenade, the song thats constantly playing over and over in my head and in my player ~

Was shopping at one of the malls here when out of nowhere bukie had his hands on my shoulder, looked around and saw Wafa, they were doing their own share of shopping escapade. After a bit of chitchat we parted ways and I started browsing through the jazz pants to see if there’s anything I like. Was looking for a shirt with my headsets on as always when this song came on, never knew it was in my phone till now. I stopped in my tracks when the chorus came on and it was like *whew* if I have all the guts in the world I would have said those very lines and hopefully make him change his mind and we’ll live happily ever after but then … I am me and all am capable of is write what I feel and look at him from a far. *sigh*

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

From Tested and True by Secondhand Serenade … the song playing on the background.

I love u most when we share a place
those special good times together
it seems like our love cant get much better, no
‘cuz we were as close as two could be
we knew love would last forever
we’re more than just lovers, we’re
good friends

And even if our love
Could drift away
I wouldn’t even think twice
If I wanted love back again

Chorus 1
Because I’d still say yes to you again
My darling for you I’d do it all again
Yes I’d still say yes to you again
Darling for you I’d do it over and over again
To you ya know I’ll say yes
Oh my darling, oh my darling only for you

verse 2
Where does it go, how does it end
True love it seems so easy
‘Cuz we have no doubts
where we belong, where we belong

They say time can heal a broken heart
And true love never ends
So why not start where we began

Chorus 2
Because I’d still say yes to you again
My Darling for you I’d do it all again
Yes i’d still say yes to you again
Darling for you i’d do it over and over again

Bridge:
They say time can heal a broken heart
And true love never ends
So why not start where we began, baby

Repeat Chorus

I know you need a friend
someone you can talk to
who will understand
what you’re going through
when it comes to love
there’s no easy answer
only you can say
what you’re gonna do
i heard you on the phone
you took his number
said you weren’t alone
but you’d call him soon
isn’t he the guy
the guy who left you crying
isn’t he the one
who made you blue…oooh
when you remember those nights in his arms
you know you got to make up your mind

Chorus:
are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
or are you going back to the one you love
someone’s gonna cry when they know they lost you
someone’s gonna thank the stars above

what you gonna say
when he comes over
there’s no easy way to see this through
all the broken dreams
all the disappointment
oh girl…whatcha gonna do?
Your heart keeps sayin it’s just not fair
but still you gotta make up your mind

chorus

———————————-

Why does it have to be so complicated? And for once, why can’t I just have who I want?

*sigh*

I'm just a girl X 4

I might be a little, concerned with my hair.

I might need comfort, more than my share,

I might seem to follow fashion, but claim that I don't care.

My heart is your best friend, when it rules my head.

I might wanna talk alot, don't ask me why,

And I'll get impatient, if you don't reply.

I might always search for something wrong, I want you to deny,

And if you love me, just stay close, and hold me when I cry.

CHORUS:

Don't try to understand me,

I'm just a girl.

One of the greatest mysteries,

You'll find in this world.

I'm not hard to handle,

I'm just a girl X 2.

I don't seek money, but I want your time,

'Cause I'd give my life for you, when you are mine.

And it hurts me more than I can say, when you pull away,

But if you love me, you should tell me everyday

CHORUS:

Don't try to understand me

I'm just a girl

One of the greatest mysteries

You'll find in this world

I'm not hard to handle

I'm just a girl X 5

You might think I'm too demanding

But you're just not understanding, no

I might like to take advice, but go my own way

And it's when I hurt the most, i swear i'm ok.

And it's always when you least expect, I say i wanna stay

It might take just a single kiss, to steal my heart away

CHORUS:

Don't try to understand me

I'm just a girl

One of the greatest mysteries

You'll find in this world

You Think I'm an X-file

But I'm just a girl X 2

CHORUS:

Don't try to understand me

I'm just a girl

One of the greatest mysteries

You'll find in this world

I'm not hard to handle

I'm just a girl X 6

[Verse 1:] 

Story of my life

Searching for the right

But it keeps avoiding me

Sorrow in my soul

Cause it seems that wrong

Really loves my company

He's more than a man 

And this is more than love

The reason that the sky is blue

But clouds are rolling in

Because I'm gone again

And to him I just can't be true

[Hook:] 

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful

And it kills him inside

To know that I am happy with some other guy

I can see him dying

[Chorus:] 

I don't wanna do this anymore 

I don't wanna be the reason why 

Everytime I walk out the door 

I see him die a little more inside 

I don't wanna hurt him anymore 

I don't wanna take away his life 

I don't wanna be.... a murderer 

[Verse 2:] 

I feel it in the air

As I'm doing my hair

Preparing for another date

A kiss up on my cheek

He's here reluctantly

As if I'm gonna be out late

I say I won't be long

Just hanging with the girls

A lie I didn't have to tell

Because we both know

Where I'm about to go

And we know it very well

[Hook:] 

Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful

And it kills him inside

To know that I am happy with some other guy

I can see him dying

[Chorus:] 

I don't wanna do this anymore 

I don't wanna be the reason why 

Everytime I walk out the door 

I see him die a little more inside 

I don't wanna hurt him anymore 

I don't wanna take away his life 

I don't wanna be.... a murderer

[Breakdown:] 

Our Love... his trust

I might as well take a gun and put it to his head

Get it over with

I don't wanna do this

Anymore (anymore)

 

Oooohhh... anymore 

[Chorus:] 

I don't wanna do this anymore

I don't wanna be the reason why

And everytime I walk out the door

I see him die a little more inside

I don't wanna hurt him anymore

I don't wanna take away his life

I don't wanna be.... a murderer

Ooo... a murderer... 

No, no, no... yeah

Herbie played this song while we were still waiting for calls, ’twas a weekend shift and as always it’d be low call volume if we’re not moved to Consumer. I’ve fallen in love with and I can’t get it outta my head. Here’s Apologize from One Republic.

I’m holding on your rope 

Got me ten feet off the ground 

And I’m hearing what you say 

But I just can’t make a sound 

You tell me that you need me 

Then you go and cut me down 

But wait... 

You tell me that you’re sorry 

Didn’t think I’d turn around and say.. 

That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you 

And I need you like a heart needs a beat 

(But that's nothing new) 

Yeah yeah 

I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue 

And you say 

Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you 

But I’m afraid 

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

Woahooo woah 

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah yeah 

I said it’s too late to apologize, a yeah 

I’m holding on your rope 

Got me ten feet off the ground...

Kiss The Rain – Billie Myers

Hello
Can you hear me?
Am I gettin’ through to you?

Hello
Is it late there?
There’s a laughter on the line
Are you sure you’re there alone?

‘Cause I’m
Trying to explain
Something’s wrong
You just don’t sound the same

Why don’t you
Why don’t you
Go outside
Go outside

Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone, too long.

If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn.

Keep in mind
We’re under the same sky
And the nights
as empty for me, as for you
If you feel
You can’t wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

Hello
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do
But not the way I’m missing you

What’s new?
How’s the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
You sound so close but it feels
like you’re so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What I’m left imagining
In my mind
In my mind
Would you go
Would you go
Kiss the rain

And you’d fall over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone too long
If your lips
Feel lonely and tempted
Kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn

Keep in mind
We’re under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you

If you feel
You can’t wait till morning

Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain

Hello
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Waiting for You by Showoff

When I see you smile It makes me smile too
I can’t believe how far away you really are
Did you ever think of anyone else
Did you ever think of yourself One wish I had I used on you

I’ll be right here waiting for you Waiting for you (2x) 
When I look in your eyes I see much more than you
I can’t believe how fucking strange you really are
I can’t think of anyone else I can barely think for myself
All that I know is that I love you 

I’ll be right here waiting for you Waiting for you (2x) 

I don’t wanna face the world without you (6x) 
I’ll be right here waiting for you Waiting for you (2x)

Discovered this song and this band from creepy one’s iPod and since then I can’t get it outta my head. Another last song syndrome moments.

Was at work … being the weekend shift, call volume was that low, wait time was around 10 to 15 minutes. Visited my imeem account, and played this song. So emoooo … am waiting for a call too … a call I know will never materialize. Why? Cause though he has my phone number and my mobile number he doesn’t have any reason to call at all. *sigh*When emotions are unrequited and you know you’re left hanging but still you continue to hang on hoping against hope that someday, someday things will turn ou

ur way.

Your Call by Secondhand Serenade

Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry 

Call I'm desperate for your voice 

Listening to the song we used to sing 

In the car, do you remember 

Butterfly, Early Summer 

It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet 

I was born to tell you I love you 

And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine 

Stay with me tonight 

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh 

I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh 

Because every breath that you will take 

when you are sitting next to me 

will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy? 

What's your...

I was born to tell you I love you 

And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine 

Stay with me tonight 

And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home 

x4 

(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have) 

I was born to tell you I love you 

And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine 

Stay with me tonight 

I was born to tell you I love you 

And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine 

Stay with me tonight 

(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)
