Why by Secondhand Serenade-

The buttons on my phone are worn thin
I don’t think that I knew the chaos I was getting in.
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

Summer Skin – Death Cab for Cutie

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water’s warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don’t recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn’t win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
And we left our love in our summer skin

Pity and Fear – Death Cab for Cutie

I have such a envy for this stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night and slips out into the pre-dawn light
With no words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made
And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake

And there are no tears
Just pity and fear
No vast ravine
Right in between

A lack of color – DCFC

And when i see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around, turns you around

If you feel discouraged
That there’s a lack of color here
Please don’t worry lover
It’s really bursting at the seams
For absorbing everything
The spectrum’s a to z

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
all the girls in every girlie magazine
Can’t make me feel any less alone
I’m reaching for the phone

To call at 7:03 [and] on your machine I slur a plea for you to come home
But i know it’s too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay [x3]

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~ Breaking Benjamin

I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt
Carry me to heaven’s arms
Light the way
And let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began
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?
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.

“Ruby” by Foster the People

And there she goes
She was sitting really nice with her head full of advice from friends
She walks around
She tries to rearrange but everything goes under her bed

And it’s countless
She’s got a jar full of change saved up for vacation
And she’s watching
She’s watching her sons growing up just like their mom

And it’s hard
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it’s hard but you gotta get outta bed, outta bed, outta bed

Yeah she don’t know what to do
She’s got everything and nothing to lose
She got a call from a guy just seeing if she’s alright
Yeah

She’s got a fistful of tears held back by the strength of five
And she says, “Happiness ain’t free
Everybody fights just like me
But I’ve given up the ability to retreat”

And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
You gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it’s hard but you gotta get outta bed, outta bed, outta bed

Yeah she don’t know what to do
She’s got everything, nothing to lose
Yeah

Yeah you’ve got time to figure it out
I’m here so don’t be scared
You’ve got time to figure it out
I’m here and I am here

You’ve got time to figure it out
I’m here so don’t be scared
You’ve got time to figure it out
I’m here so don’t be scared

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
All alone, rest your head on my lap when you’re down
All alone, rest your head on my lap, on my lap
Ruby don’t cry

Never Too Late~ Three Days Grace

This world will never be what I expected
And if I don’t belong
Who would’ve guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It’s not too late
It’s never too late

Even if I say
It’ll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we’ll turn it around
‘Cause it’s not too late
It’s never too late

No one will ever see this side reflected
And if there’s something wrong
Who would’ve guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It’s not too late
It’s never too late

Even if I say
It’ll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we’ll turn it around
‘Cause it’s not too late
It’s never too late

The world we knew
Won’t come back
The time we’ve lost
Can’t get back
The life we had
Won’t be ours again

This world will never be what I expected
And if I don’t belong

Even if I say
It’ll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we’ll turn it around
‘Cause it’s not to late
It’s never too late

Maybe we’ll turn it around
‘Cause it’s not too late
It’s never too late

It’s never too late
It’s not too late
It’s never too late

All I Wanted by Paramore (A very good heartbreak song)

Think of me when you’re out
When you’re out there
I’ll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well it’s a shame I’m a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I’ll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
Wake up early, the black and white re-runs
That escape from my mouth, oh

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
Maybe then we’d remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

aiga mia – alejandro sanz

(i like this song even in spanish because the meanings ;) )

Amiga mia, lo se, solo vives por el,
Que lo sabe tambien, pero el no te ve
Como yo suplicarle a mi boca que diga
Que me ha confesado entre copas,
Que es con tu piel con quien suenia de noche
Y que enloquece con cada boton que
Te desabrochas pensando en en sus manos.
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.
Amiga mia, ojala algun dia escuchando mi cancion
De pronto, entiendas lo que nunca quise
Fue contar tu historia
Porque pudiera resultar conmovedora
Pero perdona amiga mia
No es la inteligencia ni la sabiduria
Esta es mi manera de decir las cosas
No es que sea mi trabajo es que es mi idioma.
Amiga mia princesa de un cuento infinito
Amiga mia, tan solo pretendo que cuentes conmigo
Amiga mia, a ver si uno de estos dias
Por fin aprendo a hablar
Sin tener que dar tantos rodeos
Que toda esta historia me importa
Porque eres mi amiga
Amiga mialo se solo vives por el
Que lo sabe tambien pero el no te ve
Como yo, suplicarle a mi boca que diga
Que me ha confesado entre copas
Que es con tu pie
Con quien sueña de noche…
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 sueños e ilusiones renovadas
Yo quiero regalarte una poesia
Tu piensas que estoy dando las noticias
Amiga mia, princesa de un cuento infinito
Amiga mia, tan solo pretendo que cuentes conmigo
Amiga mia, a ver si uno de estos dias
Por fin aprendo a hablar
Sin tener que dar tantos rodeos
Que toda esta historia me importa
Porque eres mia amiga

Clouds – Newton Faulkner

We’re not the type
To go out and find others
Who are just like
The ones in our cupboard
We only see
What we read on the covers
We only bleed
If we’re not see by another
If we’re not see by another

Stop looking down at the ground
Pick it out of the clouds
No one’s gonna put you down
Just let it out let it out
Stop looking down at the ground
Just pick it out of the clouds
Just get it out get it out
Just let it all out now

Something’s bound to change

Let’s all go out
Go out and find lovers
That scream and shout
The kind you don’t take home to your mother
We are the ones
Who cannot hide under covers
No sacred suns
Just us all crowded and cluttered
Just us all crowded and cluttered

Stop looking down at the ground
Pick it out of the clouds
No one’s gonna put you down
Just let it out let it out
Stop looking down at the ground
Just pick it out of the clouds
Just get it out get it out
Just let it all out now

Something’s bound to change
Something’s bound to change

Stop looking down at the ground
Pick it out of the clouds
No one’s gonna put you down
Just let it out let it out
Stop looking down at the ground
Just pick it out of the clouds
Just get it out get it out (Somethings bound to change)
Just let it all out now

Stop looking down at the ground
Pick it out of the clouds
No one’s gonna put you down
Just let it out let it out
Stop looking down at the ground
Just pick it out of the clouds
Just get it out get it out
Just let it all out now

“Sound The Bugle” Bryan Adams

Sound the bugle now – play it just for me
As the seasons change – remember how I used to be
Now I can’t go on – I can’t even start
I’ve got nothing left – just an empty heart

I’m a soldier – wounded so I must give up the fight
There’s nothing more for me – lead me away…
Or leave me lying here

Sound the bugle now – tell them I don’t care
There’s not a road I know – that leads to anywhere
Without a light I fear that I will stumble in the dark
Lay right down – decide not to go on

Then from on high – somewhere in the distance
There’s a voice that calls, “Remember who you are”
If you lose yourself – your courage soon will follow

So be strong tonight – remember who you are
Yeah you’re a soldier now – fighting in a battle
To be free once more – yeah, that’s worth fighting for

Taffy stuck, tongue tied
Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside

I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding

Pull me out from inside

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.
