FREE! To laugh. To LOVE. To be unabashedly me.

Beautiful to me (beautiful to see)

Beautiful to see (you're finally free)

You're finally free (free, yeah)

And everything's better free

Don't let go, don't you know

You'll be alright, ease your mind, elevated

Don't look down, don't you frown

You'll be just fine, free your mind, elevated

See ya, freedom isn't given

It just is as you are, so be it, yeah

See ya, happiness is a state of mind

It shouldn't be affected by anything external, see

Breathe.... breathe

Peace, love...

Let yourself breathe

You're alright*

* Elevated by Earth, Wind & Fire, Feat. Floetry

La da da dee da da da da

Go ahead and take your time, boy you gotta feel secure
Before I make you mine, baby, you have to be sure
You wanna be my lover, wanna be my lover, wanna be my lover
...
I hear what you say, I see what you do
I know everything I need to know about you
And I want you to know that it's telling me
You wanna be my lover*

*  Be My Lover by La Bouche

Someday is NOW! Time to live OUTLOUD!

You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry

And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday

Now wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run, oh
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it's good to be someone*

--
* Someday by Rob Thomas

Nothing sexier than a strong woman

 I hear your reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it, was she worth it?

'Cos I'm strong enough
To live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go*

-- 

* Strong Enough by Cher

Two paths & a spirit that's crying

"There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
...
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder*

--
* Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin as performed by Mary J. Blige

I love this performance.  She killed it! And though she didn't sing this verse, here it is because it's my favorite!
"There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder."

Seasons & reasons change

I know that truth can hurt

but I'm glad that you told me

No pun intended

Everything is fire in the simili life

I know that truth hurts
I know that truth hurts
Truth hurts

...

Somebody was telling me, somebody
I could change my own season
Somebody was telling me, somebody
I could alter my reasons*

* Wounds by Quadron

The consequences of neglecting a heart...

House for sale
I'm moving out
I'm moving on
This bird has flown
House for sale
I'll tell you where to redirect my mail
House for sale
Take a look inside
This is where love
Once did reside
But now it's gone
And that's the reason I'll be traveling on 

--

* House for Sale by Nick Lowe

Emotion is the only thing real...

* The Dive by Fool's Gold

How does one replace perfection?!

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?*

--

* Someone Like You by Adele

Two peas in a pod

No good you say
Well that’s good enough for me

You’re the wreath that caught fire
You’re the preach to the choir
You bite down on the sheet
But your teeth have been wired
You skid in the rain
You’re trying to shift
You’re grinding the gears
You’re trying to shift
And you’re the same kind of bad as me

They told me you were no good
I know you’ll take care of all my needs
You’re the same kind of bad as me*

--
* Bad as Me by Tom Waits

Easily triggered

So many times I've wondered where I've gone
And how I found my way back in
I look around awhile for something lost
Maybe I'll find it in the end

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend*

--
* Feelin' the Same Way by Norah Jones

Oh Yeah! It's JUST like that *happy dance*

I've never seen it, but I found this love I'm undefeated
You better believe, I'm gonna treat it better than anything I've ever had
Cause you're so damn beautiful read it,
It's signed and delivered let's seal it
Boy we go together like peanuts and paydays and Marley and reggae
And everybody needs to get a chance to say

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

Everything is like a white out, cause we shika-shika a shine down
Even when the, when the light's out but I can see you glow
Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after
Never felt this way before, ain't felt this way before*

--
* Brighter Than The Sun by Colbie Caillat

Bid me to feel again

Now that I know what I’m without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead*

--
* Bring Me to Life by Evanescence

Separate worlds

Mutual misunderstandings
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through

And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
No sacrifice at all

I gave my heart
I gave my heart
I gave my heart
I gave my heart*

--
* Sacrifice by Elton John & Bernie Taupin, performed by Sinéad O'Connor

Warning signs don't lie

We wove a sticky web in a dirty little game
And I was hypnotized
All your bad juju and all your weird voodoo
Made me go blind
There was nothing there but the shell of the girl
You left behind
But I wasn't seeing, I just wasn't seeing
Somehow I missed the warning signs

They were warning signs, warning signs, warning signs
They told me you were evil but I want you for mine*

--
* Warning Signs by Eilen Jewell

Love his voice and his riffs

Lie to me, it doesn't matter anymore
It could never be, the way it was before
If I can't hold on to you
Leave me somethin' I can hold onto
For just a little while won't you, won't you let me be

--
* Lie To Me by Jonny Lang

Come find me!

It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you

And I know it's easy to say
But it's harder to feel
This way

And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you*

--
* The Fear You Won't Fall by Joshua Radin

Scars = healed wounds

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish, you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared*

--
* Rolling In The Deep by Adele

** I love this video! And Adele is such a beautiful woman and wonderful singer. She leaves me wanting more every time.

When you take me by the...

Now when you take me by the...
Who's ever gonna know
Everytime you move I let a little more show
It's something we can use
So don't say no Mickey

So c'mon and give it to me anyway you can
Anyway you wanna do it
I'll take it like a man
But please baby please, don't leave me in the damn Mickey*

--
* Oh Mickey by Toni Basil

I hate goodbye :~(

Why you wanna break my heart again?
Why am I gonna let you try?

When all we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye*

--
* All We Ever Do by John Mayer

A beautiful answer

You, pull me through,
When I’m alone in the dark and the fear was my truth.

Yeah, all the things that you are,
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart,
And know that you are everything,
Let your heart sing and tonight, we light up the stars,
All that you are.*

--
* All That You Are by the Goo Goo Dolls

So perfect...

Us girls we are so magical,
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable*

--
* I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry

Open wide!

I handle on my own, wherever I may roam
'Coz I'm not alone

Well, I feel fine, I haven't lost my mind
My heart's open wide and my eye's on the sky
I'm living my life

I still know love and I still know pain
My heart's open wide and my eyes on the sky
My heart's open wide on the sky
My heart's open wide on the sky
I'm living my life*

--
* Living My Life by Los Lonely Boys

Fuckin' perfect...and what for?

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood,
Miss, no it is all good, it didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing,
Under-estimated, look I'm still around. *

--
* Fuckin' Perfect by P!nk

Peace of mind

I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
that's no lie
I'm hanging on to my special friend
the apple of my eye
my inspiration, too
she's got a lead on my heart and my soul
and she knows just what to do*

--
* Nightingale by The Eagles

You had your turn...now to what I deserve

Don’t treat me to the things of this world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
Is a man that makes me, then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I’m the one you want
If you don’t, you’ll be alone
And like a ghost I’ll be gone*

--
* All The Single Ladies by Beyoncé

Met your match, eh? ;)

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe
Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything
Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can not move a thing
And suddenly I know exactly what I've done
And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me

I'm gone

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

She's an assassin
She's an assassin
She's an assassin
She's an assassin and she had a job to do *

--
* Assassin by John Mayer

"I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive"

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes*

--
* In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel

Completeness has a name

If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
Oh it might burst
Could we stay right here
Till the end of time until the earth stops turning
Wanna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for*

--
* Gorecki by Lamb performed by Scala

I would bear it all...

The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag*

--
* Down by The Water by The Decemberists

As a matter of fact...

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
matter fact he'll be here in a minute, baby

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I will have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking
you're irreplaceable

So since I’m not your everything
How about I'll be nothing
Nothing at all to you
Baby I won't shed a tear for you
I won't lose a wink of sleep
Cause the truth of the matter is
Replacing you is so easy*

--
* Irreplaceable by Beyoncé

Hotness!

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go, yeah

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love*

--
* Burning Love by Elvis Presley

The attachment disorder song

Give me your reason, give me your rhyme
So I can tempo me to your time
So I can scratch your surface and be
A deeper part of the mystery
To be undone, to be alone
To live life in monotone
I reach the beach and try to ignore
The warning I'd known long before
On any given day, you'll find me gone
On any given day, you'll find me gone*

--
* Any Given Day by Carbon Leaf

Yep! I know that feeling

You push me, I don't have the strength to
Resist or control you
So take me down, take me down

You hurt me but do I deserve this?
You make me so nervous
Calm me down, calm me down

Wake you up in the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed*

--
* Never Gonna Leave This Bed by Maroon 5

From her head down to her... bound ankles ;)

That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazine
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak
I really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah*

--
* Super Freak by Rick James

This one suits my mood juuuuuust right

My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth*

--
* Smooth by Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas

Go hard or go home!

Ooo, I'm starting to believe that I'm way too much for you
All that talk but it seems like you can't come through
All them nights like you could satisfy me
Now I see where believing you got me
Gave you the wheel but you can't drive me

Can you keep up?
Baby boy
make me lose my breath
Bring the noise
make me lose my breath
Hit me hard
make me lose my (Ahh Ahh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy
let me lose my breath
bring the noise
make me lose my breath
Hit me hard
make me lose my breath (Ahh Ahh)

Ooo, two things I don't like when I'm trying to get my groove
Is a partner who meets me only halfway and just can't prove
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim
Need a lifeguard and I need protection
To put it on me deep in the right direction*

--
* Lose My Breath by Destiny's Child

Why not share? ;)

And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms
Late, late at night

You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?*

--
* Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield

Music to sway to...

And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love *

--
* Rhythm of Love by Plain White T's

...in all the right ways :)

So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass *

--
* Raise Your Glass by Pink

Uh oh...done with pretend

Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight*

* Animal by Neon Trees

It's time

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry*

--
* Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie

Ah, melancholia *sigh*

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song *

* Killing Me Softly by The Fugees ft. Lauryn Hill

Anniversaries :~(

What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't break even, even, no*

--
* Breakeven by The Script

What do THEY call me?

My skin is tan
My hair fine
My hips invite you
My mouth like wine
Whose little girl am I?
Anyone who has money to buy
What do they call me?
My name is Sweet Thing
My name is Sweet Thing*

--
* Four Women by Nina Simone

You blow my...mind & heart

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe *

--
* Firework by Katy Perry

To the secret room of tranquility... :)

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine oh. Oh oh oh.
Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me.
Do anything you can to control me oh. Oh, no.

Take me away. A secret place.
A sweet escape. Take me away.
Take me away to better days.
Take me away. A higher place.

There's a place that I go, But nobody knows.
Where the rivers flow, and I call it home.
And there's no more lies. In the darkness, there's light.
And nobody cries. There's only butterflies. *

--
* Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield

Don't blink or you might miss it

Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, hey there mister, mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey Hey Hey

Just in time,
I'm so glad you have a one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind*

--
* Hey, Soul Sister by Train

Yay for stronger men!

I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you; I'm a little bit of everything
all rolled into one
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
you know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man...

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you're hurt; when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb; I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way*

--
* Bitch by Meredith Brooks

Gimme gimme gimme

Dame una caricia, dame el corazon
Dame un beso intenso en la habitacion
Dame una mirada, dame una obsesion

Dame la certeza de este nuevo amor.
Dame poco a poco tu serenidad,
dame con un grito la felicidad...

De llevarte a la cima del cielo
donde existe un silencio total
Donde el viento te roza la cara,
y yo rozo tu cuerpo al final *

~ * ~

Give me a caress, give me the heart
Give me an intense kiss, in the bedroom
Give me a look, give me an obsession

Give me the certitude of this new love
Give me your serenity bit by bit
Give me, with a shout, the joy...

Of taking you to the summit of heaven
Where complete silence exists,
Where the wind caresses your face,
And I finally caress your body

--
* La Cima Del Cielo by Ricardo Montaner

Reeeaaach!!!

There's nothing better than love
What in the world
could you ever be thinking of
It's better by far
So let yourself reach for that star
And go no matter how far
To the one you love*

* There's Nothing Better Than Love by Luther Vandross

Handle yours & get it right ;P

Gave her mouth to mouth a little more
Repeat it, to show her I mean it, oh
I think I know what’s wrong
(Let me turn off all the lights)
She won’t be here for long
(If I don’t get this right)
Girl I just can’t lose you, so hold on please

It’s an emergency
I’m rushing there to handle mine
It’s an emergency
Cause we ain't got a lot of time
I gotta save her, if I’m any later
Somebody might get there before me
Emergency
That 9-1-1’s for me, emergency*

* Emergency by Tank

Almost...

It makes her feel close
Makes her smile
It's like he's with her almost
Til the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close*

--
* Close by Rascal Flatts

Nothing more beautiful than knowing your worth...trust me ;)

Life is too damn short to live unhappily
So I’m being selfish and putting myself in first place

I’m doing me, this time around
I’m doing me, don’t need you now
I rather be by myself, I won’t let your drama hold me down
I’m doing me, this time around
I’m doing me, I’ve finally found
I’d rather be by myself, I’m doing me.

I’m doing me, this time around
I’m doing me, this time around
No more crying, going through hell
It’s so good, I’m loving myself
I’m doing me, this time around
I’m doing me
I’m doing me
Yeah Yeah
I’m doing me
Yeah Yeah*
