But I’ve broken all my promises to you I’ve broken all my promises to you. Why do you do this to me? Why do you do this so easily? You make it hard to smile because You make it hard to breathe Why do you do this to me? I should have known this wasn’t real And fought it off and fought to feel What matters most? Everything That you feel while listening to every word that I sing. I promise you I will bring you home I will bring you home. Goodbye – Secondhand Serenade It’s a shame that it had to be this way It’s not enough to say I’m sorry It’s not enough to say I’m sorry Maybe I’m to blame Or maybe we’re the same But either way I can’t breathe Either way I can’t breathe All I had to say is goodbye We’re better off this way We’re better off this way I’m alive but I’m losing all my drive Cause everything we’ve been through And everything about you Seemed to be a lie A guiltless twisted lie It made me learn to hate you Or hate myself for letting it pass by Your Call – 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 Like when we would meet Cause 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 pollished, I am new, I am fresh I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh Cause every breath that you will take When you are sitting next to me Will bring life into my deepest hopes, What’s your fantasy? The Last Song Ever – Secondhand Serenade The way that I feel tonight so down so down I pray I can swim just so I won’t drown and the Waves that crash over me I am gasping for air take my hand so I can breathe as I write this Last song down And I saw the tears on your face I shot you down And I slammed the door but couldn’t make a sound So please stay sweet my dear Don’t hate me now I can’t tell how this last song ends | |

127 QA Reputation0 | Cassandra said 11 years, 1 month ago: If Today Was Your Last Day by Nickelback My best friend gave me the best advice He said each day’s a gift and not a given right Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by That first step you take is the longest stride If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last Leave old pictures in the past? Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day? What if, what if, if today was your last day? Against the grain should be a way of life What’s worth the price is always worth the fight Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try So live like you’re never living twice Don’t take the free ride in your own life If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past? Donate every dime you had? And would you call those friends you never see? Reminisce old memories? Would you forgive your enemies? And would you find that one you’re dreaming of? Swear up and down to God above That you’d finally fall in love if today was your last day? If today was your last day Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart? You know it’s never too late to shoot for the stars Regardless of who you are So do whatever it takes ‘Cause you can’t rewind a moment in this life Let nothing stand in your way ‘Cause the hands of time are never on your side If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past? Donate every dime you had? And would you call those friends you never see? Reminisce old memories? Would you forgive your enemies? And would you find that one you’re dreaming of Swear up and down to God above That you’d finally fall in love if today was your last day? | |

Dear Agony Suddenly the lights go out Let forever drag me down I will fight for one last breath I will fight until the end And I will find the enemy within ‘Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin Dear Agony Just let go of me Suffer slowly Is this the way it’s gotta be? Don’t bury me Faceless enemy I’m so sorry Is this the way it’s gotta be? Dear Agony Leave me alone God let me go I’m blue and cold Black sky will burn Love pull me down Hate lift me up Just turn around There’s nothing left Somewhere far beyond this world I feel nothing anymore Dear Agony Just let go of me Suffer slowly Is this the way it’s gotta be? Don’t bury me Faceless enemy I’m so sorry Is this the way this gotta be? Dear Agony I feel nothing anymore I don’t know many by Secondhand Serenade but those I do know are great (fall for you being my favorite). And anything by Nickelback is amazing. They have so many great songs.. Plus every song by the band above (breaking benjamin) is pure awesomeness. Plus Never Too Late by Three Days Grace. Adam left by the band btw. and BB has been away for three years now :’( Sooo ya… I have many more to post so keep checking up. I love music. | |

El no te ha visto temblar, esperando Una palabra, algun gesto un abrazo. El no te ve como yo suspirando, Con los ojitos abiertos de par en par, Escucharle nombrarle. !ay amiga mia lo se y el tambien. Amiga mia no se que decir Ni que hacer para verte feliz Ojala pudiera mandar En el alma o en la libertad Que es lo que a el le hace falta Llenarte los bolsillos de guerras ganadas De suenios e ilusiones renovadas Yo quiero regalarte una poesia Tu piensas que estoy dando las noticias.

190 QA Reputation0 | punkrocktopus said 10 years, 7 months ago: The Last Lost Continent – La Dispute I felt your sickness brush against my arm as I walked by you - heard your voice but couldn’t tell that it was you. And, slowly, watched your sickness slip away into a place that I’d once feared but I was not afraid this time So I gave chase and found it, finally, slowly feeding from your head, And from my friends, and from my family, so I grabbed it by the neck. “For every lover you have ruined…” I dug my nails into its flesh. “…and every life that you have taken…” Slammed its head against the brick. Its blood poured out onto the pavement, I stirred it in with dirt and spit, “I will take a part of you.” I made mortar from the mix. Tore every organ from its body, broke its bone and fashioned bricks, I laid the mortar in between, I made a throne for hope to sit. “Too long you’ve torn us into pieces, firmly held onto our wrists. Today I bury you in me.” I swallowed every inch of it. I’ll hold you, as you have held me - you’ve held me in your heart, we’ll be set free from fear. We’ve felt our failures. We’ve watched our passions leave, but we’re still breathing on. I’ll hold you, as you have held me, You’ve held me in your heart. (And I will hold you in my heart) But I still see him dead in the parking lot at the gas station just down the street. And I still hear my friend say, “You know, you wouldn’t believe the things I saw when I was stationed overseas.” But he somehow keeps smiling in spite all of that, while I keep finding ways to push the good out for the bad Oh, how selfish of myself to always say that it was more than I could take, like it was pain I could not shake, like it could break me with its fingers, throw my body in the lake, and I would slowly sink away but the Truth is it was sorrow that I made and would not face. See, I keep falling for the future after tripping on the past. And I am always tearing sutures out to make the anguish last like it defines me. Or reminds me I’ve found comfort in my suffering and uncertainty in happiness and death, because what’s next is such a mystery to me. I am terrified of all the things I feel but cannot see. Friends and family, put your hand into my hand and lay your head into my chest. You are all that I have left here We are all that we have left. We are the lovers, We are the last of our kind. Link your arms and keep your chin up and I swear that we’ll be fine. We are the lovers, We are the last of our kind. Though we’re not sure who we are, we keep our heads up though we’re not sure where we’re from, we keep our hearts up though we’re not sure when we’ll leave, we keep our heads up though we’re not sure where we’ll go, we keep our hopes up Keep your head up. we’re fine. Just keep your head up. I swear we’ll be alright. Keep your head up. Oh, my friends, keep your head up. and I swear we’ll never die. I swear we’ll get home safe and sound, we’ll live on underground I will give your heart a place to rest when everything you had has turned and left. I’ll weave your names into my ribcage; lock your hearts inside my chest. Regain the passion I once carried; do away with all the rest. I tore the sickness from your bodies; smashed its head against the bricks. I made a castle from its bones that you may always dwell in it. So sing for every buried moment that you’d thought would never end. And sing your fears about the future; and a dirge for faded friends. For all the love that you had held to, why it somehow failed to keep. And sing each minute you’ve been frightened; every hour that you’ve lost sleep And sing for all your friends and family; sing for those who didn’t survive. But sing not for their final outcome; sing a song of how they tried. We live amidst a violent storm; leaves us unsatisfied at best, So fill your heart with what’s important, and be done with all the rest. We are what’s left of what we once were We are falling far behind. There’s so much stacking up against us and we’re running out of time. We are but hopeful children, and we’re the last of our kind. But if we let our hearts move outward, I know we will never- We are but friends and family, we are the last of our kind. So hold my hand, I’ll lift your head up, and I promise we’ll be fine. We are but hopeful lovers, and we are running out of time. There’s so much stacking up against us, and we’re falling far behind. We are but hopeful lovers, we are the last of our kind, But if we let our hearts move outward, I know we will never- We are but lovers, we are the last of our kind. And if we let our hearts move outward, I know we will never- We are but lovers, we are the last of our kind. And if we let our hearts move outward, we will never die. | |
