"I'm Moving on"--Rascal Flatts

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons

Finally content with a past I regret

I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness

For once I'm at peace with myself

I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long

I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces

Each one is different but they're always the same

They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it

They'll never allow me to change

But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me

And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone

There comes a time in everyone's life

When all you can see are the years passing by

And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't

Stopped to fill up on my way out of town

I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't

I had to lose everything to find out

Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

"Think Of Me"--Keith Urban

I woke up early this morning around 4am

With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate

I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep

But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake

Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms

I've been tryin' my best to get along

But that's OK

There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom

Take your memories I don't need'em

Take your space and take your reasons

But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater

'Cause we have nothing left to weather

In fact I'll feel a whole lot better

But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head

I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left

I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this

And all the baggage that seems to still exist

It seems the only blessing I have left to my name

Is not knowing what we could have been

What we should have been

So take your records, take your freedom

Take your memories I don't need'em

Take your space and take your reasons

But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater

'Cause we have nothing left to weather

In fact I'll feel a whole lot better

But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind

Don't worry, I'll be fine

I'm gonna be alright

While you're sleeping with your pride

Wishing I could hold you tight

I'll be over you

And on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom

Take your memories I don't need'em

And take your cat and leave my sweater

'Cause we have nothing left to weather

In fact I'll feel a whole lot better

But you'll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom

Take your memories I don't need'em

Take your space and all your reasons

But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater

'Cause we got nothing left to weather

In fact I'll feel a whole lot better

But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah

And you're gonna think of me

Oh someday baby, someday

"Through With You"--Maroon 5

Can you see me

Floating above your head

As you lay in bed

Thinking about everything

That you did not do

Cause saying I love you

Has nothing to do with meaning it

And I don't trust you

Cause every time you're here

Your intentions are unclear

I spend every hour waiting for a phone call

That I know will never come

I used to think you were the one

Now I'm sick of thinking anything at all

You ain't ever coming back to me

That's not how things were supposed to be

You take my hand just to give it back

No other lover has ever done that

Do you remember

The way we used to melt

Do you remember how it felt

When I touched you

Oh cause I remember very well

And how long has it been

Since someone you let in

Has given what I gave to you

And at night when you sleep

Do you dream I would be there

Just for a minute or two do you?

You ain't ever coming back to me

That's not how things were supposed to be

You take my hand just to give it back

No other lover has ever done that

Heartache heartache I just have so much

A simple love with a complex touch

There is nothing you can say or do

I called to let you know I'm through with you

"Not Coming Home"--Maroon 5

When you refuse me

You confuse me

What makes you think I'll let you in again

Think again my friend

Go on misuse me and abuse me

I'll come out stronger in the end

And does it make you sad

To find yourself alone

And does it make you mad

To find that I have grown

I'll bet it hurts so bad

To see the strength that I have shown

When you answer the door pick up the phone

You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

You do not know how much this hurts me

To say these things that I don't want to say

But have to say them anyway

I would do anything to end your suffering

But you would rather walk away

And does it make you sad

To find yourself alone

And does it make you mad

To find that I have grown

I'll bet it hurts so bad

To see the strength that I have shown

When you answer the door pick up the phone

You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

When you answer the door pick up the phone

You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

"There's More to Me Than You"--Jessica Andrews

I spent years and all this time

thinking I was better off cuz you were mine

You always said it was your way or the highway

So I'm shiftin my life into drive

I'm getting out kissing the past good-bye

Like Toby said, "How do you like me now?"

This conversation has run dry

And I keep telling myself

ooooooo, ooooooo, ooooooo

There's more to me than you

ooooooo, ooooooo

Don't underestimate what I can do

Well I'm alright, it's okay

I know I'll make it through

Cuz there's more to me than you

I'm not saying I'm battered and bruised

but I might as well be with the words you used

I believe in myself, that makes me stronger

Things changed and so have I

I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines

You can clip my wings, but I'm still gonna fly

I'm on my own and on my way

And I keep telling myself

There was always something that meant more to you than me

And I'm just sorry it's taking this for you to see

ooooooooo, ooooooo, oooooo

There's more to me than you

"Karma"--Jessica Andrews

Out of nowhere you just wanna be free

Cut me loose forget all about me

Baby, tell me, have you ever heard

About this little five letter word

What comes around goes around

I'm telling you baby, it's called karma

What goes up comes down

Hits the ground

You're gonna find out

All about, all about

Karma

So go on, go on, go have your day in the sun

Have a blast honey

Have you some fun

But don't forget about that golden rule

What you do to others is gonna get done to you

What comes around goes around

I'm telling you baby, it's called karma

What goes up comes down

Hits the ground

You're gonna find out

All about, all about

Karma

Life is like a kaleidoscope

Changing colors every day

But there is one thing that I know

You can't mess around with your fate

(Go on, go on, go on)

What comes around goes around

I'm telling you baby, it's called karma

What goes up comes down

Hits the ground

You're gonna find out

All about, all about

Karma

I'm telling you baby, it's called karma

What goes up comes down

Hits the ground

You're gonna find out

All about, all about

Kkkkkkarma

Yeah, it's called karma

Karma

"The Best Deceptions"--Dashboard Confessional

I heard about your trip.

I heard about your souvenirs.

I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights,

and the cool guys that you spent them with.

Well I guess I should have heard of them from you.

I guess I should have heard of them from you.

Don't you see, don't you see,

that the charade is over?

And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you.

So kiss me hard

'cause this will be the last time that I let you.

You will be back someday

and this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips will be of service

to keeping you away.

I heard about your regrets.

I heard that you were feeling sorry.

I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us.

Well I guess I should have heard of them from you.

I guess I should have heard of them from you.

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers,

I'll be all right when my hands get warm.Ignoring the phone,

I'd rather say nothing. I'd rather you'd never heard my voice.

You're calling too late

too late to be gracious you do not warrant long goodbyes

What a great thread! Music ALWAYS helps me get through ... Here are a few that I'd like to add to the list.

You Had Me - Joss Stone

You had me

You lost me

You're wasted

You cost me

I don't want you here messing with my mind

Spitting in my eyes and I still see

Tried to keep me down

I'm breaking free

I don't want no part in your next fix

Someone needs to tell you this is it

Hey listen you'll be missin'

Out on all my love and my kissing

Make your mistakes on your own time

When you come down you're just no good to have around

Instead of making money you took mine

You had me

You lost me

You're wasted

You cost me

I don't want you here messing with my mind

I've realized in time

that my eyes are not blind

I've seen it before

I'm taking back my life

You tried to trade on my naivete

But the things you do and say embarrass me

See once upon a time I was your fool

But the one I leave behind is you

Hey listen you'll be missin'

Out on all my love and my kissing

Make your mistakes on your own time

When you come down you're just no good to have around

Instead of making money you took mine

Vodka and a packet of cigarettes

That's all it used to be but now

You're sniffing on snow when you're feeling low

Suffocating dreams that could have been

Maybe for a minute I was down with that

But it didn't take long for me to see the light

You swore you had control of it

But when I stepped back you slipped on your supply

Taking it back I'm taking it back

Taking back my life

Taking it back I'm taking it back

Taking back my life

Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time

Taking it back I'm taking it back

Taking back my life

-------------------------------

How Am I Doin' - Dierks Bentley

It's strange to hear your voice, I did not expect for you to call

You wonder how I'm doin, how I'm holding up since you've been gone

Well, how am I doing since you did, what you've done to me

I can't lie, I sometimes cry, when I think of how it used to be

I keep my friends with me, I stay busy, and I don't get much sleep

Baby that's how i'm doing since you did, what you done to me

Well now wait one minute, I failed to mention, those tears I cried are tears of joy

Because it was no fun, there under your thumb, and now that we're done

I'm getting right, every night, with every single, every loving girl in sight

Well, when all my friends heard, what a you know what you were

They took me out on the town

But then I heard our song, and I danced along, but it felt all wrong

Cause she was sweet, she let me lead, she never took her ever lovin eyes off me

Well I don't know what you were thinking, running round on me

Well, now you say you're sorry.....well honey I agree

So, how are you doing since you did, what you did to me

Girl don't lie, I know you cried...cause you know how good it used to be

Yeah, tell me does the thought of, loosing my true love, make it hard to sleep

Baby how are you doing since you did what you done to me

Now how are you doing , now that you know how I'm doing

Since you did what you done to me

-------------------------------

There's A Reason Lyrics - Mercyme

Now's the time

Let the redeemed celebrate

If you know what I know

You can't wipe the smile off your face

Oh people, stand up and praise

There's a reason to dance

There's a reason to sing

Of the sacred romance

With our Savior and King

We lift up our hands

We fall on our knees

To the Son of Man

The reason we are free

There's a reason

All glory to

The King of Kings, Lord of Lords

Oh the value of Your worth

No worldly treasures can afford

And we praise You forevermore

There's a reason to stand

There's a reason to shout, to shout Your name on high

So we take up our cross, there's a reason to die

Because Jesus is alive

There's a reason

There's a reason

You are the reason

The reason we are free

All those songs you guys have added to the list are great! Let's keep 'em coming :)

Here's a few more...

"Leave (Get Out)"--JoJo

I've been waiting all day for ya babe

So won't cha come and sit and talk to me

And tell me how we're gonna be together always

Hope you know that when it's late at night

I hold on to my pillow tight

And think of how you promised me forever

(I never thought that anyone)

Could make me feel this way

(Now that you're here boy all I want)

Is just a chance to say

Get Out, (leave) right now,

It's the end of you and me

It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone

'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies

You said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time)

Tell me why you're looking so confused

When I'm the one who didn't know the truth

How could you ever be so cold

To go behind my back and call my friend

Boy you must have gone and bumped your head

Because you left her number on your phone

(So now after all is said and done)

Maybe I'm the one to blame but

(To think that you could be the one)

Well it didn't work out that way

I wanted you right here with me but I have no choice you've gotta leave

Because my heart is breakin'

With every word I'm sayin'

I gave up everything I had

On something that just wouldn't last

But I refuse to cry

No tears will fall from these

Eyeee-eeee-eeees

Ooooh, ooooh

Get out

Get out (leave)

You and me

It's too late (too late)

You ohh

Bout her move why

You said that you would treat me right (noooo)

but it was just a waste of time (waste of time)

"Sorry"--Ashlee Simpson

I threw away my phone

I thought that you should know

I'd throw away my home

If I had somewhere to go

Anything to stop

The circle in my brain

Anything is better than you

Making me feel lame

28 days to kick the habit

28 days to let you go

28 days and I'll be on my own

All my life I've been sorry for something

Something gets me nothing and nothings such a waste

All this time I've been sayin I'm sorry

But why should I be sorry for all of your mistakes

Why should I be sorry

I've had enough of you

Please forget my name

I'm runnin around on empty

Still tryin to get away

Anything to kill

The consciousness of you

Anything to end myself

Before the thought of you

28 days to kick the habit

28 days to let you go

28 days and I'll be on my own

All my life I've been sorry for something

Something gets me nothing and nothings such a waste

All this time I've been sayin I'm sorry

But why should I be sorry for all of your mistakes

Now you'll know what it feels like to bite your tongue

Now you'll know what it feels like to be the one

Who walks around with knots in your stomach

I've been there, and I've done it

And now you'll know what it feels like

To always be afraid

Of everything you wanted to say

Who's sorry now

Who's sorry now

Who's sorry now

All my life I've been sorry for something

Something gets me nothing and nothings such a waste

All this time I've been sayin I'm sorry

But why should I be sorry for all of your mistakes

All my life I've been sorry for something

Something gets me nothing and nothings such a waste

All this time I've been sayin I'm sorry

But why should I be sorry for all of your mistakes

Who's sorry now?

"Don't Tell Me"--Avril Lavigne

You held my hand and walked me home, I know

While you gave me that kiss it was something like this it made me go ooh ohh

You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears, why did you have to go?

Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love

Guys are so hard to trust

Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl?

The one who gives it all away

Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?

Did you think that it was somethin I was gonna do and cry?

Don't try to tell me what to do,

Dont try to tell me what to say,

You're better off that way

Don't think that your charm and the fact that your arm is now around my neck

Will get you in my pants I'll have to kick your a*s and make you never forget

I'm gonna ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot, but I'm really upset

Get out of my head get off of my bed yeah thats what I said

Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl, the one who, throws it all away

This guilt trip that you put me on won't, mess me up I've done no wrong

Any thoughts of you and me have gone away

Better off that way

I'm better off alone anyway

"My Happy Ending"--Avril Lavigne

So much for my happy ending

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over

It's not like we're dead

Was it something I did?

Was it something You said?

Don't leave me hanging

In a city so dead

Held up so high

On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it

And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends

I know what they say

They tell you I'm difficult

But so are they

But they don't know me

Do they even know you?

All the things you hide from me

All the sh*t that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

It's nice to know that you were there

Thanks for acting like you cared

And making me feel like I was the only one

It's nice to know we had it all

Thanks for watching as I fall

And letting me know we were done

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

"Gone"--Ben Folds

I thought I'd write

I thought I'd let you know.

That the year since you've been gone

I've finally let you go

And I hope you find some time to drop a note

But if you won't

Then you won't

And I will consider you gone

I know that you went straight to someone else

While I worked through all this sh*t here by myself.

And I think that you should spend some time alone

But if you won't

Then you won't

Then I will

Then I will consider you gone.

I'll wake up

in the night

all alone, and that's all right

the chemicals are wearin' off

just you’ve gone

The days go on, the lights go off and on

And nothing really matters when you're gone

If you think that you feel nothin’ at all

If you don't

Then you don't

If you won't

If you won't

Then I will...then I will...Yea I will

Consider you gone

"Walk Away"--Ben Harper

Oh no- here comes that sun again.

And (that) means another day without you my friend.

And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself.

And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.

But sometimes - sometimes,

you just have to walk away - walk away.

With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?

But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.

But sometimes - sometimes,

you just have to walk away - walk away and head for the door.

We've tried the goodbye so many days.

We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray.

They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free,

but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery.

They say time will make all this go away,

but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.

And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down

And once again, you my friend, are nowhere to be found.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.

But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door.

You just walk away - walk away - walk away.

You just walk away, walk on, turn and head for the door.

"Vindicated"--Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption

Winding in and winding out

The shine of which has caught my eye

And roped me in

So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing

I am captivated

I am Vindicated

I am selfish

I am wrong

I am right

I swear I'm right

I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed

But I am cleaning up so well

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear

Like the diamond in your ring

Cut to mirror your intentions

Oversized and overwhelmed

The shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me so isolated, so motivated

I am certain now that

So turn

Up the corners of your lips

Part them and feel my finger tips

Trace the moment, fall forever

Defense is paper thin

Just one touch and I'd be in

Too deep now to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away

So let me slip against the current

So let me slip away

Slight hope

It dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption...

"Exit to Exit"--Ryan Cabrera

Was it the little things I left unsaid?

The thoughts are wrapped around my head, in love, in life

Could it be our time was incomplete

Someone thats just bent to need enough inside

And i've lost my direction

Where do i turn?

You wanted something more than this

Fell down for someone else's kiss

I'm lost without your light

So i drive, i don't know why

But i drive, from exit to exit

Could it be the taste was bittersweet

Well it all comes down to your defeat

So high, so low

Crash and burn we all fall down

And i can still hear the sound of love, run dry

And i've lost my connection

What have i learned?

Someday i won't be lost

Someday i won't miss you

Someday i'll understand

But for now you're taking over me

I've lost my direction

Where do i turn?

Too Many Fish In The Sea

by The Marvelettes

Listen here, girls

Take this advice, and remember always in life:

Into each heart some tears must fall

Though you love and lose, you must stand tall

'Cause we all got to cry sometimes

I said, sigh sometimes

Pull yourself together

No use crying forever

Because there's too many fish in the sea

Too many fish in the sea

I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones

Too many fish in the sea

My mother once told me something

And every word is true

Don't waste your time on a fella

Who doesn't love you

He'll only mislead you

Only grieve you

Don't worry about him

Do without him

Because there's too many fish in the sea

Too many fish in the sea

I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones

Too many fish in the sea

Well, if the fish isn't on your line

Bait your hook and keep on trying

Don't let him get you down

There's other boys around

Because there's too many fish in the sea

Too many fish in the sea

I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones

Too many fish in the sea

I don't want nobody that don't want me

'Cause there's too many fish in the sea

Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me, now

'Cause there's too many fish in the sea

I don't need nobody that don't need me

'Cause there's too many fish in the sea

I don't want nobody that don't love me, now

'Cause there's too many fish in the sea

Keep em coming! Here's some more...

"For Justin"--Dashboard Confessional (Ok, not all of these lyrics apply but some parts do)

It's been a year now, since you were here now

And I've been trying to heal inside

Dedications have all been placed

And I see your resemblance in my face

And on our birthday I said an extra wish for you, for you

And I have learned so much since you've been gone

And I have done so little for so long

So now I'll settle up these grievances and focus on the savory

And wave all these discrepancies away

And I'll peter out these misconceptions, give out faith at my discretion

Live a life that you would think was sane, sane

Displaying changes, being made

And I wonder if you ever really wanted it this way

And in your memory they even hung a plaque for you, for you

And I have learned so much since you've been gone

And I have done so little for so long

So now I'll settle up these grievances and focus on the savory

And wave all these discrepancies away

And I'll peter out these misconceptions, give out faith at my discretion

Live a life that would think was sane, sane

"So Beautiful"--Dashboard Confessional

I heard that you were home again, but you don't look like your back to me

With your focuses changing your gaze is transfixed on a point that I can't often see

You've got your new ties, I've got my old knots, you've got your inside lines

But your never happy with what you've got

Careful now,

You're so beautiful

When you've convinced yourself

That no one else is quite as beautiful

I heard that you were living well, but you don't look like your living to me

Though the sparkle is gone, the smile is in place so that everyone watching can see

You've got them all convinced, but I know it so well

That you could list your friends, but you can't count on them

Hold it now

You've got everyone convinced that your alright

When no one else is quite as vulnerable

As soon as you got it you want something else

It's not the sale that you love, its the sell

It's not the price that's going to cost you

It's just the weight that's going to bring you

Down, down, down, down

It's going to bring you down, down, down, down, down

Hold it now

You've got everyone convinced that your alright

When no one else is quite as vulnerable

Careful now

Your so beautiful, when you've convinced yourself

When no one else is quite as beautiful

As soon as you got it you want something else

It's not the sale that you love, its the sell

It's not the price that's going to cost you

It's just the weight that's going to bring you

Down, down, down, down

It's going to bring you down, down, down, down, down

As soon as you got it you want something else

It's not the sale that you love, its the sell

It's not the price that's going to cost you

It's just the weight that's going to bring you

Down

"Dare You to Move"--Switchfoot

Welcome to the planet

Welcome to existence

Everyone's here

Everyone's here

Everybody's watching you now

Everybody waits for you now

What happens next

What happens next

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened before

Welcome to the far out

Welcome to resistance

Attention is here

Attention is here

Between who you are and who you could be

Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell

Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

Where can you run to escape from yourself?

Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna go?

Salvation is here

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened before

"You Learn"--Alanis Morisette

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone

I recommend walking around naked in your living room

Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)

It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)

Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn

You love you learn

You cry you learn

You lose you learn

You bleed you learn

You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone

I certainly do

I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time

Feel free

Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)

Hold it up (to the rays)

You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn

You love you learn

You cry you learn

You lose you learn

You bleed you learn

You scream you learn

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)

Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)

The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn

You love you learn

You cry you learn

You lose you learn

You bleed you learn

You scream you learn

You grieve you learn

You choke you learn

You laugh you learn

You choose you learn

You pray you learn

You ask you learn

You live you learn

"Forget About It"--Alison Krauss

Forget about it

I'm admittin' I was wrong

And I'll just take what's mine

And walk right out the door

Forget about it

I'll split and I'll be gone

And you'll have memories

You'll find hard to ignore

'Cause after all

I see you sometime

Maybe when I can't recall

How you drove me crazier

Forget about it

When forever's over

I won't remember how much

I loved you anymore

Forget about it

Put me out of your head

Now that you're free and easy

Out there on the town

Forget about it

When you're lying in bed just wishing

I was there to lay you down

'Cause after all

I see you sometime maybe

When you will recall

How I drove you crazier

Forget about those stars in your eyes

Laying by the fireside

Holding you tight

I can't remember when I felt so right

So just forget about it

Forget about it

When you see me on the street

Don't wink, don't wave

Don't try to tease me with your smile

Forget about it

If we chance to meet somewhere

Don't think it's cause I'm trying to reconcile

'Cause after all

I see you sometime maybe

When I can't recall

How you drove me crazier

Forget about those stars in your eyes

Laying by the fireside

Holding you tight

I can't remember when I felt so right

So just forget about it

"I'm Gone"--Alison Krauss

When you came to me

You said love could not erase

The ever present memory of another face

I tried to make you love me

How I could I be so blind

To think I'd be the one to change your mind

And if I'm gone before you start

Well you can find me in your heart

Who can say if its right wrong

I've waited for you too long

And if I can't hold on

I'm Gone

When you came to me

I said love will find a way

For every heart that leaves another heart must stay

I guess you couldn't see

As the shadow's in the night

It seems the time for us just wasn't right

And if I'm gone before you start

Well you can find me in your heart

Who can say if its right wrong

I've waited for you too long

And if I can't hold on

I'm Gone

"Inside Out"--Yellowcard

Here. A little sympathy for you to waste on me

I know you're faking it but that's okay

And I don't want to drag it out

Don't want to bring you down

I never wanted it to end this way

Even if I wanted to

I don't think that I'd get to you

There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again

Here. A little jealousy

I hope you think of me

Hope you wonder where I sleep at night (sleep at night)

Cause I feel like I'm inside out

You got me upside down

Maybe I was holding on too tight

Even if I wanted to

I don't think that I'd get to you

There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again

So don't just say goodbye to me

Just turn your back away and leave

And if you're lucky I will be your last regret, your only friend

The two of us we dream like one

The two of us, the two of us

The two of us take breath like one

The two of us, the two of us

I guess that this is over now

I guess it's called the falling out

But everyday I'm learning how to make it through this life I'm in

Even if I wanted to

I don't think that I'd get to you

There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again

So don't just say goodbye to me

Just turn your back away and leave

And if you're lucky I will be your last regret, your only friend

Fool to Think -- Dave Matthews Band

Look at me dreaming of you

All I could hope is to have you

To have you walking with me

Laughing so in love, we two

Almost drunkenly

I did imbibe of this

Fantasy of you and me

Was I a fool to think?

The way you looked at me

I swear you did

But you looked away too quick

Was I a fool, was I a fool to think

That you would take me home

As if I was yours

Was I a fool to think at all?

I've grown tired of love

You are the trouble with me

I watch you walk right by

I smile, you do not notice me

Treat me recklessly

All you do is toss me pennies out

But the silence in me is screaming

Won't you come and get me?

Was I a fool to think?

The way you looked at me

I swear you did

But you looked away too quick

Was I a fool, was I a fool to think

That you would take me home

As if I was yours

Was I a fool to think at all?

Was I a fool to think?

The way you looked at me

I swear you did

But you looked away too quick

Was I a fool, was I a fool to think

That you would take me home

As if I was yours

Was I a fool to think at all?

You make a mess of me here

I dance a thousand steps for you

If you say yes to me

I'll be whatever gets you through

You make a mess of me here (was I a fool?)

I dance a thousand steps for you (was I a fool?)

Was I a fool, was I a fool to think?

Am I a fool, am I a fool for you?

Martina McBride "How Far"

There's a boat, I could sail away

There's the sky, I could catch a plane

There's a train, there's the tracks

I could leave and I could choose to not come back

Oh never come back

There you are, giving up the fight

Here I am begging you to try

Talk to me, let me in

But you just put your wall back up again

Oh when's it gonna end



How far do I have to go to make you understand

I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't

Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are

So I'm gonna walk away

And it's up to you to say how far

There's a chance I could change my mind

But I won't, not till you decide

What you want, what you need

Do you even care if I stay or leave

Oh, what's it gonna be



Out of this chair, or just across the room

Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon

How far do I have to go to make you understand

I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't

Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are

So I'm gonna walk away

And it's up to you to say

Yeah I'm gonna walk away

And it's up to you to say how far

WOW! I never realized there were so many songs to help people out with a break up! LOL

I have a couple to add that I can think of.....

"Life Goes On"- LeAnn Rimes

Life Goes On, Life Goes On, Life Goes On...

You sucked me in and played my mind

Just like a toy you would crank and wind

Baby, I would give til you wore it out

You left me lying in a pool of doubt

If you're still thinkin' you're the Daddy Mac

You should've known better but you didn't and I can't go back

Oooh, Life Goes On, and its only gonna make me strong

Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can't go back

Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right

Where I'm at, is my life before me, Got this feeling that I can't go back

Life Goes On, Life Goes On, Life Goes On...

Wish I knew then what I know now

You held all the cards and sold me out

Baby, shame on you if you fooled me once,

Shame on me if you fooled me twice

You've been a pretty hard case to crack

I should've known better but I didn't and I can't go back

Oooh, Life Goes On, and its only gonna make me strong

Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can't go back

Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right

Where I'm at, is my life before me, Got this feeling that I can't go back

Na na na na na Life Goes On, na na na na na made me strong

Got a feeling and I can't go back

Life Goes On (and its only gonna make me strong)

Life Goes On and on and on

Shame on you if you fooled me once,

Shame on me if you fooled me twice

You've been a pretty hard case to crack

I should've known better but I didn't and I can't go back

Oooh, Life Goes On, and its only gonna make me strong

Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can't go back

Oooh, its a fight, and I really wanna get it right

Where I'm at, is my life before me, Got this feeling that I can't go back

Na na na na na Life Goes On, na na na na na made me strong

Whoa, yeah

Got a feeling and I can't go back


"So Yesterday"- Hilary Duff

So yesterday)

(So yesterday)

(So yesterday)

You can change your life

(If you wanna)

You can change your clothes

(If you wanna)

If you change your mind

Well that's the way it goes

But I'm gonna keep your jeans

And your old black hat

('Cuz I wanna)

They look good on me

You're never gonna get them back

At least not today

Not today

Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and

Come tomorrow it will seem

So yesterday

So yesterday

I'm just a bird

That's already flown away

Laugh it off

Let it go and

When you wake up it will seem

So yesterday

So yesterday

Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay

You can say you're bored

(If you wanna)

You can act real tough

(If you wanna)

You could say you're torn

But I've heard enough

Thank you

You've made my mind up for me

When you started to ignore me

Do you see a single tear

It isn't gonna happen here

At least not today

Not today

Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and

Come tomorrow it will seem

So yesterday

So yesterday

I'm just a bird

That's already flown away

Laugh it off

Let it go and

When you wake up it will seem

So yesterday

So yesterday

Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay

If you're over me, I'm already over you

If it's all been done, What is left to do

How can you hang up,If the line is dead

If you walk out, I'm a step ahead

If you're movin' on, I'm already gone

If the light is off, Then it isn't on

At least not today

Not today

Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and

Come tomorrow it will seem

So yesterday

So yesterday

I'm just a bird

That's already flown away

Laugh it off

Let it go and

When you wake up it will seem

So yesterday

Haven't you heard you're so (yesterday)

If it's over let it go and

Come tomorrow it will seem

So yesterday

So yesterday

I'm just a bird

That's already flown away

Laugh it off

Let it go and

When you wake up it will seem

So yesterday

So yesterday

Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay

"The Trouble With Love Is"- Kelly Clarkson

Oooh oooh, ooooh yeah, mmmm...

Love can be a many splendored thing

Can't deny the joy it brings

A dozen roses, diamond rings

Dreams for sale and fairy tales

It'll make you hear a symphony

And you just want the world to see

But like a drug that makes you blind,

It'll fool ya every time

The trouble with love is

It can tear you up inside

Make your heart believe a lie

It's stronger than your pride

The trouble with love is

It doesn't care how fast you fall

And you can't refuse the call

See, you got no say at all

Now I was once a fool, it's true

I played the game by all the rules

But now my world's a deeper blue

I'm sadder, but I'm wiser too

I swore I'd never love again

I swore my heart would never mend

Said love wasn't worth the pain

But then I hear it call my name

(The trouble with) The trouble with love is

It can tear you up inside

Make your heart believe a lie

It's stronger than your pride

The trouble with love is

It doesn't care how fast you fall

And you can't refuse the call

See, you got no say at all

Everytime I turn around

I think I've got it all figured out

My heart keeps callin' and I keep on fallin'

Over and over again

This sad story always ends the same

Me standin' in the pourin' rain

It seems no matter what I do

It tears my heart in two

(The trouble with love is) The trouble with love, yeah

(It can tear you up inside) It can tear you up inside

(Make your heart believe a lie) Make your heart believe a lie

It's stronger than your pride

(The trouble with love is)

It's in your heart

It's in your soul (doesn't care how fast you fall)

You're losin' all control

(and you can't refuse the call)

See, you got no say at all

(The trouble with love is) Ooooh, yeah

(It can tear you up inside)

(Make your heart believe a lie)

"Perfect Girl"--Sarah McLachlan

Am I faithful, am I strong, am I good enough to belong

in your reverie a perfect girl

Your vision of romance is cruel and all along I played the fool

all your expectations bury me

Don't worry you will find the answer if you let it go

give yourself some time to falter

But don't forgo knowing that you're loved no matter what

and everything will come around in time

I own my insecurities I try to own my destiny

That I can make or break it if I choose

But you take my words and twist them 'round 'till I'm the one who brings you down

Make me feel like I'm the one to blame for all of this

You need everybody with you on your side

Know that I am here for you but I hope in time

Youll find yourself allright alone

Youll find yourself with open arms

Youll find yourself youll find yourself in time

The riot in my heart decides to keep me open and alive

I have to take myself away from you

'Cause I can't compete I can't deny theres nothing that I didn't try

how did I go wrong in loving you

"Wish"--Lifehouse

so you found

a better hiding place than on the ground

inside the image

of who they think you are

I wish the best of everything for you

I hope you know that honestly I do

Wish can you run

turn your back on everyone

just let me know

when you're tired of being alone

so you wait

all through the night and day to day

wait for the illusion of the perfect song

I wish the best of everything for you

hope you know that I honestly I do

Wish can you run

turn your back on everyone

just let me know

when you're tired of being alone

"Are You Happy Now"--Michelle Branch

Now, don’t just walk away

Pretending everything’s ok

And you don’t care about me

And I know there’s just no use

When all your lies become your truths and I don’t care... yeah, yeah, yeah

Could you look me in the eye

And tell me that you’re happy now, ohhh, ohhh

Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?

You took all there was to take,

And left with an empty plate

And you don’t care about it, yeah.

And I, I’ve given up this game

I’m leaving you with all the blame cause I don’t care, yeah, yeah yeah,

Could you look me in the eye?

And tell me that you’re happy now, oohh oohhh

Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,

Are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh

Are you happy now?

Do you have everything you want?

You can get up and give everything you`ve got

You can’t run away from yourself

Could you look me in the eye?

and tell me that you`re happy now, oohh oohhh

come on tell it to my face or have i been erased,

are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh

are you happy now?

Would you look me in the eye?

Could you look me in the eye?

I’ve had that all I can take

And I’m about to break

Cause I’m happy now, ohhh, ohhh

Are you happy now?

"Saddest Girl Story"--The Starting Line

So it's safe to say that we've been here before;

Heart torn out, down for the count and still come back for more.

This lesson is learned too well.

Though, only unlearned by the time your wounds have healed.

Have you had enough?

I guess not because your lips are stuck to his.

It's Time to say enough is enough, you would be so better off.

You love him but tough because it's not coming back from him.

You can't win.

Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.

Take a look around, you could have anyone.

So leave undeserving him.

It only hurts at first.

But then you will find someone to give you everything you want.

Try not to go running back to him.

So it goes unsaid that we've been here before.

Lonely nights and endless fights and sleeping on the floor.

And he's sorry, so the story goes.

It's read and replayed and ends the same way

Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.

Take a look around, you could have anyone.

So leave undeserving him.

Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.

Take a look around, you could have anyone.

So leave undeserving him

"Over"--Sugarcult

Everybody’s watching you

Breathing in your every move

Look around when the world is empty

Look around if you’re guilty

Everybody’s after you

I wait in line to touch you

Look around if you ever miss me

Look because it kills me

It’s over

There’s nothing you can do

There’s nothing you can say

To keep me here

It’s over

You say we’re just friends

Well play and pretend to keep me here

Every night I lay in bed

I think about the things you said

Look around, I’m the one, your only

Look around it still kills me

It’s over, To keep me here

Doesn’t anyone care?

Everybody’s watching you and counting down your every move

Look around when your heartbeat’s empty

Look around if it’s guilty

It’s over

You say we’re just friends

Well play and pretend to keep me here

It’s over

There’s nothing you can do

There’s nothing you can say

To keep me here

It’s over

You say we’re just friends

It’s almost the end

I’m outta here

It’s over

I’m outta here

"When the Sand Runs Out"--Rascal Flatts

I spent the morning at an old friend's grave

Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man

He spent his whole life spinnin' his wheels

Never knowin' how the real thing feels

He never took a chance or took the time to dance

And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on

And learn how to face my fears

Love with all of my heart, make my mark

I wanna leave something here

Go out on a ledge, with out any net

That's what I'm gonna be about

Yeah I wanna be runnin'

When the sand runs out

'Cause people do it everyday

Promise themselves they're gonna change

I've been there, but I'm changin' from the inside out

That was then and this is now

I'm a new man, yeah, I'm a brand new man

And when they carve my stone they'll write these words

"Here lies a man who lived life for all that its worth"

I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on

Learn how to face my fears

Love with all of my heart, make my mark

I wanna leave something here

Go out on a ledge, with out any net

That's what I'm gonna be about

Yeah I wanna be runnin'

When the sand runs out

"Thank You"--Sister Hazel

I had to walk away,

Down the road just to clear my head.

On another fun filled day,

Was doin' fine, but you're back instead.

Well I'm not the only one,

Who saw you for just what you were.

You'd push me, but I'd keep tryin'.

I'd leave you, but you'd start cryin'!

But you won't fool me

I'm smarter than that!

You were the one...

Who taught me what I don't need

And I thank you-I thank you for that

You were the one...

That brought me to my senses

And I thank you-

Now just leave me alone

I had to drive away,

Far away 'til you could not find me

And It was a beautiful day

Liberated and you're far behind me

What you did I'll never mention

Where you were, I don't want to know

I don't want to know

But you won't fool me

I'm smarter than that!

What you did I'll never mention

"Unsaveable"--Faith Hill

love so cruel

Yeah that's all that I got from you

Tell me what in the world could I do

But leave after all that you've done to me

Now it's so easy to say I'm over you

'Cause baby I cried a little too hard, a little too long

What I thought was right was way too wrong

and too far gone

I can't bring back the love

there just ain't enough

available, impossible, unsaveable

Here you come tryin' to make up fpr what you've done

It's too late to say you're sorry now

Now it's your turn

you can't cross that bridge you've burned

You're on your owm

When will you learn

love

There's someone out there for me

Who thinks I'm beautiful

I've got to go

"Motorcycle Drive By"--Third Eye Blind (this is one of my favorite songs ever)

Summer time and the wind is blowing outside

In lower Chelsea and I don't know

What I'm doing in this city

The sun is always in my eyes

It crashes through the windows

And I'm sleeping on the couch

When I came to visit you

That's when I knew I could never have you

I knew that before you did

Still I'm the one who's stupid

And there's this burning

Like there's always been

I never been so alone

And I've never been so alive

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by

The cigarette ash flies in your eyes

And you don't mind, you smile

And say the world doesn't fit with you

I don't believe you, you're so serene

Careening through the universe

Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free

I hope you take a piece of me with you

And there's things I'd like to do

That you don't believe in

I would like to build something

But you never see it happen

And there's this burning

Like there's always been

I've never been so alone

And I've, I've never been so alive

And there's this burning

There is this burning

Where's the soul I want to know

New York City is evil

The surface is everything but I could never do that

Someone would see through that

And this is our last time

We'll be friends again

I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I am

And there's this burning

Just like there's always been

I've never been so alone alone

And I've, and I've never been so alive

So alive

I go home to the coast

It starts to rain I paddle out on the water

Alone

Taste the salt and taste the pain

I'm not thinking of you again

Summer dies and swells rise

The sun goes down in my eyes

See this rolling wave

Darkly coming to take me

Home

And I've never been so alone

And I've never been so alive
