Lyrics...

"Take My Fire" by Switchfoot

Everyday enemy try to get the best of me
The enemy under my skin
Everyday Enemy
My fatal flaw anatomy feeling like I just can't win
Sometimes I wish I didn't feel that much
Sometimes I wish I didn't need that touch
Everyday my enemy pretend to be a friend to me
No matter what state I'm in

But you're never going to take my fire
I cannot not be tamed
No you never going to take my fire
It's burning in my veins
You say the world is changing
But I still burn the same
No you never going to take my fire, take my fire

Let me burn now

The safety that you're selling me
One day be the death of me
Face like I just saw ghosts
Images on the box again
Taking up all the oxygen
Tell me how we sunk this low
Ain't it coming ain't the end in sight
To steal it back like a thief in the night
There's my own sworn enemy
Faking and pretend to be
A wolf in a sheepskin coat

But you're never going to take my fire
In spite of all your rain
No you never going to take my fire, take my fire

I'm a fighter
A soul all nighter
I'm gonna recognize the truth
Gonna recognize a liar
You're never gonna take my fire

True beginner
A loser and a winner
Part saint / part sinner
And all of me desire
You're never gonna take my fire

I'm a giver
A one arrow quiver
I've been sending my regrets
Down the river of fire
You're never gonna take my

My fire
A loose, live wire
I'm a one-shot rocket aiming higher and higher
And higher

Cause you're never gonna take my fire
Ancient flame lit the spark back before I was young
When I'm speaking with the fire it's my native tongue

No you never going to take my fire, take my fire
Let me burn now
 
Bent
Matchbox Twenty
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again
Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again
Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot
I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin
Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
Start bending me
It's never enough
I feel all your pieces
Start bending me
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in
Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again
Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me landing
Without understanding
Can I go there again, can you help me, I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
 
But if you're bored then you're boring
The agony and the irony, they're killing me
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And it's a sin to live so well

Hell I haven't heard this song in so long!!! So on point for where I was a year ago :confused:

Better Man
Written by Taylor Swift (I didn't know that!)

I know I’m probably better off on my own
Than lovin' a man who didn’t know
What he had when he had it
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
I wish it wasn’t four am, standing in the mirror
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it I know
The bravest thing I ever did was run

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Like the back of my hand
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A better man

I know I’m probably better off all alone
Than needing a man who could change his mind at any given minute
And it’s always on your terms
I’m hanging on every careless word
Hoping it might turn sweet again
Like it was in the beginning
But your jealousy, I can hear it now
You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun
Boy, you never thought I’d run

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Like the back of my hand
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A better man
Better man

I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have
And I gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that
You can’t say that
I wish you were a better man
I wonder what we would’ve become
If you were a better man
We might still be in love
If you were a better man
You would’ve been the one
If you were a better man
Yeah, yeah

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Like the back of my hand
And I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
We might still be in love, if you were a better man
Better man

Happy People
Little Big Town

Happy people don't cheat
Happy people don't lie
They don't judge, or hold a grudge, don't criticize
Happy people don't hate
Happy people don't steal
'Cause all the hurt sure ain't worth all the guilt they feel
If you want another secret
Can't back out, or make it
You ain't ever gonna be it
By takin' someone else's away
Never take it for granted
You don't have to understand it
Here's to whatever puts a smile on your face
Whatever makes you happy people
Happy people don't fail
Happy people just learn
Don't think that we're above the push and shove
They just wait their turn
They always got a hand, or a dollar to spare
Know the golden rule, what you're goin' through
Even if they never been there
If you want another secret
Can't back out, or make it
You ain't ever gonna be it
By takin' someone else's away
Never take it for granted
You don't have to understand it
Here's to whatever puts a smile on your face
Whatever makes you happy people
These days ain't always easy to find
They're the ones that you want standing by your side
No time for greed, if they need some, give them some slack
And we'll all be happy people
Well life is short
And love is rare
And we all deserve to be happy while we're here
 
I swore the days were over
Of courting empty dreams
I worshiped at the alter
Of losing everything
And the guard i held together
Is losing all its shape
In my head you look so gorgeous
It's keeping me awake

Chorus:
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I cant let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue

I was never scared of nothing
I thought I had a home
Life went and broke me open
Cause I carried it alone
I'm finding all this well worn sadness
I never knew I kept
And I still chase you into heartache
Every time you take a step

Chorus:
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I cant let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue


I swore the days were over
Of courting empty dreams
I worshiped at the alter
Of losing everything
You had a halo made of diamonds
Resting on your head
I should be dealing with my demons
But I'm dodging them instead

Chorus:
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I cant let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue

Wow... Beautiful song
 
My whole view of the word has changed
I guess that comes with age
I don't believe there is good in every man
Like I did back then

I may drink more than I should
You've seen me on the floor
I've spent my lifetime in this cage
I built around me
Banging on the doors

And no words
Could ever say how much I need you
With you here
You make this life I lead worth living

Heaven knows I broke your heart
I can't take that away
All I'm worth is
Just this promise that I've made to you
To stand beside you
Just like you have stood beside me

And no words
Could ever say how much I need you
With you here
You make this life I lead worth living

You could be much better off
God knows without me
And that's why
I just can't find the words

You could be much better off
God Knows without me
And that's why
I just can't find the words

~ Cody Jinx - No Words
 
Verse 1: Jack Gilinsky]
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise 'til we fall
They say we got no no no no future at all
They wanna ke-ke-keep us out, can't hold us down anymore
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise 'til we fall

[Refrain: Both]
When we hit the bottom, nothin' gon' stop us
Climb to the top with you-ou
We could be the greatest, ones who never made it
Ya I could be talking to you-ou
They tryna hate hate hate
But we won't change, change anything at all, oh
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise 'til we fall

[Pre-Chorus: Both]
They think we're just drop-outs
Living at our mom's house
Parents must be so proud
They know it all
No, they don't speak our language
They say we're too savage, yeah
No, no, we don't give a... anymore

[Chorus: Both]
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise 'til we fall
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise 'til we fall
No, they don't speak our language
They say we're too savage, yeah
No, no, we don't give a... anymore
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise
We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise 'til we fall

Rise - Jonas Blue
 
The night is my companion
And the highway is my home
Got me seeking for one last beacon
Every single place I roam
They say Jesus was a poor man
I guess I wish I had a little more him in me
Make it easier going on living
Heart ache and misery

Sweet, sweet heart of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is this too far gone?
Have you turned to stone?

Well I guess I got my bottle
I still hold it all the time
But it keeps me smiling and singing
Helps me fall asleep a little bit better at night
They say life is like a dagger
Backstage is full of parasites
They love you and drain of everything you own
Just to feel better about their life
Sweet, sweet heart of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is this too far gone?
Or have you turned to stone?

Sweet, sweet heart of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is this too far gone?
Sweet, Sweet love of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is it too far gone?
Have you turned to stone?

~ Whiskey Myers - Stone
 
I know it's been a while since I've seen you girl
Funny we should meet up at a place like this
Sure I've got a minute but I can't stay long
I've got someone waiting for me outside

Damn you sure look just like I remember
It's too bad things turned out like they did
You've got that same look in your eyes now
Last time I saw it you were leaving

Has anybody ever told you you sure cry pretty
You stand tall and move with grace
Has anybody ever told you you sure cry pretty
Your tears fall but they don't leave a trace

Yeah I thought about you for a little while
Yeah I guess I still do now and then
If only this had been another time girl
Maybe you might just break me down

Has anybody ever told you you sure cry pretty
You stand tall and move with grace
Has anybody ever told you you sure cry pretty
Your tears fall but they don't leave a trace

It's time for me to go I hope you understand
I'm sure that you'll be fine once I'm gone
I'm sure there's someone out there you can turn to
Just keep your head up girl and you'll be fine

Has anybody ever told you you sure cry pretty
You stand tall and move with grace
Has anybody ever told you you sure cry pretty
Your tears fall but they don't leave a trace

~Jason Eady - Cry Pretty
 
If I lost my eyes
Would you stay with me
Would you take me by the hand
Tell me what you see

Fill my head with colors for my dreams
If I lost my eyes
If I lost my eyes

If I lost my hands
Couldn't feel a thing
If my touch was gone forever
Out of reach
Couldn't hold you like a woman needs to be
If I lost my hands
If I lost my hands

Would you stay
Would you stay
Or would you stray
Just run away
Or would you give me something to believe in
Would you show me the way
You believe so I believe

If I lost my mind
Would you stay with me
Remind me of the man I used to be
Fill my head with hope times infinity
If I lost my mind
If I lost my hands
Oh, if I lost my eyes

Would you stay
Would you stay
Would you stay

~ The White Buffalo - If I Lost My Eyes
 
Skin
Rag'n'Bone Man
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
Seconds from my heart
A bullet from the dark
Helpless, I surrender
Shackled by your love
Holding me like this
With poison on your lips
Only when it's over
The silence hits so hard
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
It was almost love, it was almost
We bleed ourselves in vain
How tragic is this game?
Turn around, I'm holding on to someone
But the love is gone
Carrying the load, with wings that feel like stone
Knowing that we nearly fell so far now
It's hard to tell
Yeah we came so close, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
While I reached out for your hand
When the walls were caving in
When I see you on the other side
We can try all over again
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
 
Mary
Big Thief

Burn up with the water
The floods are on the plains
The planets in a rose
Who knows what they contain?
And my brain is like an orchestra
Playing on, insane
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
Mom and Dad and violins
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
The clothespins on the floor
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Wait and count to four
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band
When April ran
May June bugs fly in
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here you go around Mary in your famous story book
We overcome the sirens
We look both left and right
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
But now you're out of sight
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up some mountain
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweetest silence
The clay you find is fortified
We felt some focus fade the line
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The marching band
When April ran
May June bugs fly in
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Here you go around Mary in your famous story book
 
Permanent Stain - Backstreet Boys
Out of the rain, looking for sunshine
I call your name, but you're like a ghost
I let you disappear, should've never let you go
I want to say just for the record
That you still got my heart and my soul
You know we're worlds apart, yeah I've got to let you know
You are the piece I can't replace, oh
You left a mark that won't erase, no
No one else can teach me how to love again
'Cause you left a permanent stain on my heart and I've been feeling it
Nevermind what people say 'cause they don't understand
How you left a permanent stain on my heart and I've been feeling it
Some try to break through the walls
I've built up but they don't compare to you
One chance, I swear I'll never let you go
 
Lemon Song by Led Zeppelin

I should have quit you long time ago
Ohh yeah, long time ago
I wouldn't be here, my children
Down on this killin' floor
I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
Ohh, I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
Every time I go away and leave you, darling
You send me the blues way down the line, ohh
Babe, yeah
Treat me right baby
Oh my, my, my
Alright, take it down a bit
People tellin' me baby can't be satisfied
They try to worry me baby
But they never hurt you in my eyes
Said, people worry baby, I can't keep you satisfied
Huh, let me tell you baby
You ain't nothin' but a two-bit, no-good jive
I wwent to sleep last night, I worked as hard as I can
I bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man
I should have quit you, baby
Oh, such a long time ago
I wouldn't be here with all my troubles
Down on this killing floor
Squeeze me baby, 'till the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze me baby, 'till the juice runs down my leg
The way you squeeze my lemon, I
I'm gonna fall right out of bed, bed, bed, bed, yeah
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Hey, babe, hey, babe, babe
I'm gonna leave my children down on this killin' floor
 
I don't really mind how much you love me
A little is really alright
When you say come over and spend the night
Tonight, tonight
 
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause, I can't fight it any more
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
I'm wishing you'd come sweepin' in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk, and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now

Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
I guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
I just need you now

Oh baby I need you now

Lady Antebellum – Need You Now
 
Lisa used to love to dance
Ever since she was ten years old
Her bare feet raising dust on a yard
Where the grass wouldn't grow

Slowly spinning round and round
To the music playing in her head
Late at night it could almost drown out
The whiskey on her old man's breath

The wrecking yards and dingy bars
And abandoned factories
But down among the jagged souls
A ballerina sways unseen

Hard edges hide a tender heart
Silent as a midnight prayer
Hard edges hide the sweetest part
Till you'd never know it's there

Lisa's in a club downtown
Where the neon burns till dawn
She calls herself Tina now
But she dances to the same old songs

Slowly spinning round and round
In the smoke and the smell of rye
She takes off all her clothes
So they don't see down in her eyes

The scarlet rouge and blue tattoos
Are only painted on
But underneath the dark drumbeat
A ballerina dances on

Hard edges hide a tender heart
Silent as a midnight prayer
Hard edges hide the sweetest part
Till you never know it's there
