Consider this a sign

I am alone in a long long line

And even if you could feel alright

There's a reason, you never could seize it.

When everything is wrong

And it is been for a long long time

The place you have will never be right

But I'll keep you awake long enough to try

I won't make you any more tired

I don't have the heart to say that

No you won't ever reach me, won't ever reach me, won't ever reach, won't ever reach

No you won't ever reach me, won't ever reach me, won't ever reach, won't ever reach*

* Indian Summer (Des Moines) By Canon Blue

I need a fire breathing dragon...seriously!

Lessons learned, bridges burned to the ground,
And it's too late now to put out the fire,
Tables turned, and I'm the one who's burning now,
Well I'm doing alright,
'Til I close my eyes
And then I see your face,
And it's no surprise.

...

Time can heal, but the scars only hide the way you feel,
And it's hard to forget how I left you hanging
On by a thread, when everything is said, I will regret it, yeah,
I was doin' alright, thought I could make it,
Then I see your face and it's hard to fake it.*

* Crawling Back to You by Chris Daughtry

Found!

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
painted faces, fill places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody...
you know that I could use somebody...

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
countless lovers undercover of the streets

You know that I could use somebody...
you know that I could use somebody...

Someone like you*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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*
