Very happy. Now heres another happy little number that describes me.
"By Myself" Linkin Park
What do I do to ignore them behind me? Do I follow my instincts blindly? Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams? And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I sit here and try to stand it? Or do I try to catch them red-handed? Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin I make the right moves but I'm lost within I put on my daily facade but then I just end up getting hurt again By myself
I ask why, but in my mind I find I can’t rely on myself
I can’t hold on To what I want when I’m stretched so thin It’s all too much to take in I can’t hold on To anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I Turn my back I’m defenseless And to go blindly seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they’ll Take from me ‘till everything is gone If I let them go I’ll be outdone But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself
I ask why, but in my mind I find I can’t rely on myself
How do you think I’ve lost so much I'm so afraid that I'm out of touch How do you expect... I will know what to do When all I know Is what you tell me to
Don’t you know I can’t tell you how to make it go No matter what I do, how hard I try I can’t seem to convince myself why I’m stuck on the outside
You feel like a candle in a hurricane Just like a picture with a broken frame Alone and helpless Like you've lost your fight But you’ll be alright You’ll be alright
Chorus: Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend, till you break Cause its all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you’ve had enough You get mad you get strong Wipe your hands shake it off Then you Stand, Then you stand
2 Life's like a novel With the end ripped out The edge of a canyon With only one way down Take what you're given before its gone Start holding on, keep holding on
Chorus: Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend, till you break Cause its all you can take On your knees you look up
Decide you’ve had enough You get mad you get strong Wipe your hands shake it off Then you Stand, Yeah then you stand.
Bridge: Everytime you get up And get back in the race One more small piece of you Starts to fall into place Ooohhh
Chorus: Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend, till you break Cause its all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you’ve had enough You get mad you get strong Wipe your hands shake it off Then you Stand, Then you stand Yeah then you stand. Yeah then you stand. Yeah baby ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh ooohhhhhhh then you stand
People are strange when youre a stranger Faces look ugly when youre alone Women seem wicked when youre unwanted Streets are uneven when youre down When youre strange Faces come out of the rain When youre strange No one remembers your name When youre strange x3 People are strange when youre a stranger Faces look ugly when youre alone Women seem wicked when youre unwanted Streets are uneven when youre down When youre strange Faces come out of the rain When youre strange No one remembers your name When youre strange x3 When youre strange Faces come out of the rain When youre strange No one remembers your name When youre strange x3
The more you see the more you do The television's feeding you. With what You want to hear, anger and fear, because you suffer
The hate you feel won't go away you're all programmed to Feel this way to live another day within a world That loves to suffer
And then I come to find everything's O.K. Seen this all before but that was yesterday. I try to make it through the messes that I've made So I can enjoy the life here that I've made
I've tried to give it all to you. Can't take anymore to do With this. It hurts inside. I know why I hide 'cause I suffer
I tried to keep it all inside Didn't leave me too much pride Forced it all down inside Forced myself to make me suffer
And then I come to find everything's O.K. Seen this all before but that was yesterday. I try to walk right through the messes that I've Made so I can enjoy the life here that I've made
And then I come to find
And then I come to find everything's O.K. Seen this all before, but that was yesterday. I try walk right through these messes that I've made. I just try to enjoy this life here that I have.
I'm not afraid Of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me That I haven't already heard I'm just trynna' find A decent melody A song that I can sing In my own company
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And now you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake The colors that you bring The nights you filled with fireworks They left you with nothing I am still enchanted By the light you brought to me I listen through your ears Through your eyes I can see
You are such a fool To worry like you do.. Oh I know it's tough And you can never get enough Of what you don't really need now My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Oh love, look at you now You've got yourself stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Oh lord look at you now You've got yourself stuck in a moment And you cant gt out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep The water is warm 'til you discover how deep I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if your way should falter Along this stony pass
Morning falls like rain into the city life There goes another night Losing my breath in waves Knowing that ever crash is bleading the hourglass and taking the strife from all our lives
Everyone keeps talking They promise you everything But they don't mean anything
We may loose our focus There's just too many words We're never meant to learn And we don't feel so alive
So goodbye, these days are gone and we can't keep holding on When all we need is some relief Though these hard times Through these hard times
Move your hands in circles Keeping me hypnotized The power behind your eyes
Move around your bedroom cursing the naked sky You should be here tonight But you stay alone and cry
Say goodbye, these days are gone and we can't keep holding on When all we need is some relief Through these hard times (whoa) There's something missing (Oh whoa) You'll never feel it but you (Oh whoa) You're gonna feel it when it's gone When it's gone
Say goodbye, these days are gone and we can't keep holding on When all we need is some relief Through these hard times (hey) these Hard times (oh no now) Hard times Hard times
Say goodbye, these days are gone Say goodbye, these days are gone These days are gone
Take Me As I Am (Or Let Me Go) Boudleaux Bryant May 1969 SELF PORTRAIT (Bob Dylan)
Why must you always try to make me over Take me as i am or let me go White lilies never grow on stalks of clover Take me as i am or let me go.
You're tryin' to reshape me in a mold love In the image of someone you used to know But i won't be a-standin' for an old love Take me as i am or let me go.
You tried to change me ever since you've met me Take me as i am or let me go If you can't overlook my faults, forget me Take me as i am or let me go.
You're tryin' to reshape me in a mold love In the image of someone you used to know But i won't be a-standin' for an old love Take me as i am or let me go.
"Green and Dumb" by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers
Daisies stand up on their tip-toes Clouds tumble over themselves in the sky And all the pretty horses come runnin’ to her And even the dust devils pray That they'll catch her eye
I haunt her house from the outside I watch her bake cornbread and talk on the phone And the wireless on the inside plays a sad sweet song A mute moonlit statue am I, she waltzes alone
But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren’t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue And baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren’t so green and dumb
The wind ain’t stopped blowin’ since morning It’s got me froze up on the inside And I could get warm in the bunk house And thaw out on coffee and bread
But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren’t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren’t so green and dumb
I need your government warning like I need a hole in my head Well, I won’t shoot your coyotes And I won’t burn your weeds Your paycheck won’t fill up this hollow It won't dull all the aching
But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren’t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren’t so green & dumb
If I weren’t so green & dumb If I weren’t so green & dumb If I weren’t so green & dumb
Starry starry night paint your palette blue and grey
look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and the daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land. And now I understand what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry starry night flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze
swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. Colors changing hue morning fields of amber grain
weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. And now I understand what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you but still your love was true
and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night. You took your life as lovers often do; But I could have told you Vincent this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the stranger that you've met
the ragged men in ragged clothes
the silver thorn of bloddy rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. And now I think I know what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they're not list'ning still perhaps they never will.
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away I keep your photograph; Not know it serves me well I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Cause Im broken when Im lonesome And I dont feel right when youre gone away
youre gone away; you dont feel me here anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away Theres so much left to learn, and no one left to fight I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Cause Im broken when Im open And I dont feel like I am strong enough Cause Im broken when Im lonesome And I dont feel right when youre gone away
Cause Im broken when Im open And I dont feel like I am strong enough Cause Im broken when Im lonesome And I dont feel right when youre gone away
People worry what are they worrin about today seems like there's a good reason to worry worry worry I'd sit around listening to you story if I wasn't in such a hurry hurry hurry and I'm so lonely I just don't think I can take it anymore and I'm so lonely I just don't know what to do and I'm so lonely feel like I'm gonna crawl away and die and I'm so lonely feel like i'm gonna hack hack hack hack it apart seems like theres a good reason to be lonely lonely lonely I gotta get someone or something to make me feel less lonely lonely lonely I know I could do it I know if I wasn't so lonely lonely lonely have we got an army we'll teach you how to act like to act like a man have we got an army man I mean to tell you we can fight have we got an army and were gonna do it tonight do do do it tonight yeah they're gonna pay pay pay pay it tonight do do do it tonight people worry what are they worrin about today people worry na you see I've learned my lessons and I don't even want to here about your confessions
I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me
You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along
if i were to go would you follow would you meet me there take the long way home?
walking so slow with your hand in mine content, never reaching for more these beating hearts align
and for the sake of time ill say i cant live without your touch such simple words cant define the way i feel inside
no longer cold, no longer scared, no longer waiting for someone to care
ill give you my hand take this vow for me keep every word youve said safe inside of me
when the world we know is lost and all i know is what we have i want to know its everything ill ever need. and all you need is me and all you need is me and all you need is me
no longer cold, no longer scared, no longer waiting for someone to care
i'm searching long and for what i need to find the problem and answers all found in due time the pain and joy, laughter and the cries, gives me just one reason to wish you were mine
i'm searching inside of me for the broken dream that used to be take a minute think back to the day that you ended this all went all away with a couple of words it feels absurd but now i take a deeper look and see how i feel
misused and broken you're thoughts provoking every action from me and someday you'll see its not on the inside where the tears flow and i cry and you'll see when i'm gone how they carried me away
feeling like the sun without no light i'll give you one more reason we have to try
you're right there taunting you outshine them all
i'm reaching, hoping to catch you if you fall but you're wrong, you and me you go on without me give me just one chance to show you we could be
back to the start again another day comes when no progress made with you but i'm not done with you
i'm longing for what i need to find to heal this dead heart of mine and bring it back to its original state here i'll wait with you but i can't hold on i'm losing my grip i turn to see that you're gone you're so far away i'll never get you back i'll never see the day when my life's on track but i try to make it seem alright and not frown i push the pain inside and try to keep the hate down down with the rest of me, i let you get the best of me sadly you couldn't see the way it turned out 'cause you too all you're doubt and ran away with it you packed up your life and left me with myself to fix
as hard as love goes it seems so familiar nothing has shown to heal this dead heart the feeling of tension taking me over and brought back the pain inside of this dead heart
