Do you have a favorite ~~~ ( Archived) (25)

Not quite a "tear in your beer" song....but close. Actually Keith Whitley sang an excellent version of it~~


I know you loved him
A long time ago
Even now in my arms
You still want him I know
But darling this time
Let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

Maybe I've been a fool
Holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms
Knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day
That you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight
Don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

absolutely for sure..."The best Deceptions" by Dashboard Confessional

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 tells 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.
Too late to be gracious
And you do not warrant
Long good-byes.
You're calling too late.

Artist: Kristofferson Kris
Song: For the Good Times


Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

I'll get along; you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tommorrow or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

I may have to get an Rx for Prozac if this keeps up

i know so many of those sort of songs or at least the really depressing sort.

Linkin Park - No Roads Left

Standing alone with no direction
How did I fall so far behind?
Why Am I searching for perfection?
Knowing it's something I won't find

In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because


I run
Till the silence splits me open
I run
Till it puts me underground
Till I have no breath
And no roads left but one

When did I lose my sense of purpose?
Can I regain what's lost inside?
Why do I feel like I deserve this?
Why does my pain look like my pride?

In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because
I let myself down
In my fear and flaws


I run
Till the silence splits me open
I run
Till it puts me underground
Till I have no breath
And no roads left but one
No roads left but one

In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because

I run
And the silence splits me open
I run
And it puts me underground
But there's no regret
And no roads left to run


Scary Kids Scaring Kids - Faith In The Knife

it's getting colder
each and everyday
the nights get longer
i slowly fade

find me some beauty
in this empty place
before you know it
i'll be gone without a trace

give me a reason to
wake up and face the lie
i've been searching for
a way out of this life
how will i make it through
this long and bitter night?
(with no hope that i'll find a sign)
(with no hope that i'll find a sign)
with no hope that i'll find a sign

when things like breathing
feel like a waste
it seems like leaving's
the only way

the past intentions
they never got me by
i can't escape this
it has overcome my mind


it has overcome my mind
overcome my mind

give me a reason to
wake up and face the lie
i've been searching for
a way out of this life
how will i make it through
this long and bitter night?
(with no hope that i'll find a sign)
(no hope that i'll find a sign)


(no hope that i'll find a sign)

nothing this good
could last forever
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
i put all my faith in this knife
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
the blood spills as the tears fall from your eyes

i hope for the best
there's nothing left

A fire it burns inside
A fire burns inside

let's celebrate a romance in it all
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
i put all my faith in this knife
(goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
the blood spills as the tears fall from your eyes

OMG, Indy. Don't make me fly out there just to WHOOP you!

Yes, that song!!!! (Sharpening my razor)

Honey by Bobby Goldsborough??

This doesn't send me over the edge.. but does bring a tear to my eye.

I lost a friend who took their own life.. and my sister lost one of her closet friends too the same way.

this song reminds me of all the people ABOUT to take their own lives.



REM - Hold on.

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)




that just made me well up just reading that then. Suicide is SUCH a sad sad thing.

Europe: Open your Heart


Days filled with joy,
And days filled with sorrow
I dont know just what to do
Am I happy today,
Am I lonely tomorrow
Everything depends on you
And Ive been waitin
For the angels to knock on my door
Ive been hopin
That everything could be like before
Open your heart
And tell me whats wrong
Why cant you talk like you used to do before
I dont know if Im weak
I dont know if I m strong
Hey girl I cant cope anymore
And Ive been waitin
For the angels to knock on my door
Ive been hopin
That everything could be like before
Open your heart,
Let me hear you
Make up your mind ,
I want to hear you call
Open your heart,
Want to come near you
Make up your mind,
Before we lose it all
Maybe that time
Has its own way of healin
Maybe it dries the tears in your eyes
But never change
The way that Im feelin
Only you can answer my cries

"A Thousand Miles from Nowhere" - Dwight Yokam

Now don't get me wrong...I am not a country music fan! I love rock n roll always will....but after my separation from my ex I moved in with a real cowboy here in Sask. and so I was exposed to LOTS of country music! most of it I still hate, but this song really defined my existence for a few months, and every time I hear it am taken right back to those emotions that were so strong then.
