Let That Be Enough

*switchfoot,

i wish i had what i needed

to be on my own

cause i'm feeling defeated

and i'm feeling alone

and it all seems so helpless

and i have no plans

i'm a plane in the sunset

with nowhere to land

and all i see

it could never make me happy

and all my sand castles

spent their time collapsing

let me know that you hear me

let me know your touch

let me know that you love me

let that be enough

it's my birthday tomorrow

no one here could know

i was born this thursday

21 years ago

and i feel stuck

watching history repeating

yeah, who am i?

just a kid who knows he's needy

let me know that you hear me

let me know your touch

let me know that you love me

and let that be enough

never forget

i'll never forget you

i'll never let you out of my heart

i'll hold on to the memories

takes time

i had it all

but i let it slip away

now i wander around

feeling down and cold

trying to believe that you're gone

. .

love takes time

to heal when you're hurting

i can't escape the pain inside

love takes time

i don't wanna be here alone

cry

sitting in the dark without you

how am i supposed to make it through the night?

slowly fall apart without you

cry away the hours

till the morning light

Somebody Stand By Me

*Faith Hill & Sheryl Crow

it's quiet here tonight
there's a light burning far away
it burns in my heart
in the rain, in the dark
this girl's gonna have her day

i've been this alone for so long
i'm beginning to wonder why
i stand in one place
different name, different face
but no one's gonna see me
break down and cry

wont somebody stand by me?
stand by me, just one time??

Lord, i don't understand
what's slipping through these hands
you think by now i'd know
when to let go
here i am
won't somebody stand by me?

i'm not bending tonight
but i'm twisted and turned, and broken down
i'm starting to know the sound
of nothing
and no one
and yet everything

well, if God's here tonight
-are you here tonight?
maybe you could grab me up
Lord, stand me on my feet
Give me strength and set me free
Cause i'm not giving in
Until I've had enough

won't somebody stand by me
stand by me just one time
i don't understand
what's slipping through these hands
you'd think by now
i'd know when to let go
here i am
and i'm throwing down
my one last hope
here i am
won't somebody stand by me

won't somebody stand by me
here i am
won't somebody stand by me

i don't understand
what's slipping through these hands
you'd think by now i'd know
when to let go
here i am
and i'm throwing down my one last hope
here i am
won't sombody stand by me

won't somebody stand by me
here i am
stand by me
just one time
somebody stand by me

the hard way

if i could just old on . . . .

if i could just be strong . . . .

. .

i keep living

and loving

and learning

the hard way

you're the hardest lesson of my life

. .

i keep living

and loving

and learning

the hard way

someday, maybe i'll get it right

over?

i thought it was over

we said our good-byes

but i can't go a day

without your face

going through my mind

in fact not a single minute

passes without you in it

your face, your voice

memories of you

are with me all of the time

you've put me behind

no matter how i try

i can't do the same

i try to find the bright side

but everywhere i look

everywhere i turn

you're all i see

falling

don't know what to say

never meant to feel this way

. .

what can i do to make it right?

i'm falling so hard, so fast this time..

It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing

*Shania Twain,

hope life's been good to you
since you've been gone
i'm doing fine now
i've finally moved on

it's not so bad
i'm not that sad

i'm not surprised
just how well i've survived
i'm over the worst
and i feel so alive

i can't complain
i'm free again

and it only hurts when i'm breathing
my heart only breaks when it's beating
my dreams only die when i'm dreaming
so i hold my breath
to forget

don't think i'm lying around
crying at night
there's no need to worry
i'm really alright
i've never looked back
as a matter of fact

and it only hurts when i'm breathing
my heart only breaks when it's beating
my dreams only die when i'm dreaming
so i hold my breath
to forget

it only hurts when i breath. . . .

shouldn't

loving you

isn't really something i should do

i shouldn't wanna spend

my time with tou

i should try to be strong

i should try to run

but i just can't seem to

cause everytime i run

you're the one i run to

Unbreakable Heart

*Jessica Andrews,

an empty house
a broken fairy tale
a hollow girl
with empty arms
from an angels tears
God made the stars
why can't He make me
an unbreakable heart?

in my blue world
you shone like heaven's fire
and left me crying
in the dark
how could anyone
be so hard?
did you think i had
an unbreakable heart?

-nobody has an unbreakable heart
-God makes everything but unbreakable hearts

Remember Me This Way

*from casper the friendly ghost,

every now and then
we find a special friend
who never lets us down

who understands it all
reaches out each time we fall
you're the best friend that i've found

i know you can't stay
but part of you will
never, ever go away
your heart will stay

i'll make a wish for you
and hope it will come grue
that life will just be kind
to such a gentle mind

if you lose your way
think back on yesterday
remember me this way

i don't need eyes to see
the love you bring to me
no matter where i go

and i know you'll be there
for evermore, a part of me
i'll always care

i'll make a wish for you
and hope it will come true
that life will just be kind
to such a gentle mind

if you lose your way
think back on yesterday
remember me this way

maybe..

maybe things will be different

when i open my eyes . . . .

think twice

don't say what you're about to say

look back before you leave my life

be sure before you close that door

before you roll those dice

think twice

. .

don't do what you're about to do

my everything depends on you

whatever it takes, i'll sacrifice

before you roll those dice

think twice

i've learned..

-that you cannot make someone love you. all you can do is be someone who can be loved. the rest is up to them.

-that no matter how much i care, some people just don't care back.

-that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

-that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

-that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

-that heroes are the people who do what has to be done, when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

-that learning to forgive takes practice.

-that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

-that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. sometimes you have to forgive yourself.

-that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.

-that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.

-that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. it could change your life forever.

-that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life.

-that writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains.

-that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.

anything

i'd do anything for you

i'll give you up

if that's what i should do

to make you happy

your way

you hurt me
through and through

but, you can have your way

shouldn't

time goes by so slowly

the nights are cold and lonely

i shouldn't be holding on..

again..

here i go again..

i promised myself

i wouldn't think of you today

but i'm standing at your doorway

i'm calling out your name

cause i can't move on

the same

you moved on

i still feel

exactly the same

might need..

might need you

to hold me tonight

. .

might need you

to say it's alright

only you

don't you know??

. .

only you can make it right....

someone to share

i want someone

to share my smile

to share the pain

to be there when the sea turns gray

to share the joy

for better or worse

. . . . . .

i thought

that it might have been you....

wish

i wish i had what i needed

to be on my own

i feel so defeated

i feel so alone

i'm so alone . .

you

you

and

you alone

can break my fall

here i am

i'm wearing out a lonely glow

i miss you more than i could know

here i am

here i am

won't you get me?

lost

i'm lost without you here....
