Leave Out All The Rest
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else caredAfter my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I’m done hereSo if you’re asking me
I want you to know[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missedAnd don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memoryLeave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]Don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating
I’ve shared what I madeI’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have youSo if you’re asking me
I want you to know[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missedDon’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memoryLeave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so wellPretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missedDon’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memoryLeave out all the rest
Leave out all the restForgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so wellPretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
I can’t be who you are7 September, 2008 at 2:26 am #139893“Even Flow”
Freezin’, rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin’ maybe he’ll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain’t that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can’t help, when he’s happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he’ll begin his life again
Life again, life again…
Kneelin’, looking through the paper though he doesn’t know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin’, now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin’, understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeahEven flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he’ll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away…
Yeah!
Woo…ah yeah…f u ck it up…
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he’ll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away…
Yeah!
Woo…uh huh…yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy…7 September, 2008 at 2:30 am #139894This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do
Something I wasn’t sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I’ve seen too little ofThe last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I no I don’t mindThis is the last time
That I will show my face
One last tender lie
And then I’m out of this place
So tread it into the carpet
Or hide it under the stairs
Say that some things never die
Well I tried and I triedSomething I wasn’t sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I’ve seen too little ofThe last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I no I don’t mindThe last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I know I don’t mind7 September, 2008 at 2:36 am #139895Drift and Die
Forgotten thoughts of yesterdays
Through my eyes I see the past
Well I dont know, I dont know, I dont know whyI believe, I believe, I believe in the truth
From inside
Go away, go away, go away from me
Leave me aloneIgnorance spreads lies
How much will money buy
Well I’ll take my time
As I drift and dieUnwanted, live my life in shame
Who’s to blame for my mistakes
Well I dont know, I dont know, I dont know whyI believe I said I believe in the truth
From inside
Go away go away go away from me
Leave me aloneIgnorance spreads lies
How much will money buy
Well I’ll take my time
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and dieIgnorance spreads lies
How much will money buy
Well I’ll take my time
As I drift and die7 September, 2008 at 12:05 pm #139896Butterflies and Hurricanes

Come out Virginia, don’t let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
aw But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the onewell, They showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done…..
Only the good die young
thats what i said
only the good die young x2You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain’t too pretty we ain’t too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
aw But that never hurt no oneSo come on Virginia show me a sign
Send up a signal I’ll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you’re hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
Darlin’ only the good die young
woah
i tell ya
only the good die young x2You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
mmmm, And a cross of gold
But Virginia they didn’t give you quite enough information
You didn’t count on me
When you were counting on your rosary
(oh woah woah)They say there’s a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it’s better but I say it ain’t
I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
the Sinners are much more fun…you know that only the good die young
oh woah baby
i tell ya
only the good die young, X2You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
Aww She never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh woah woahCome out come out come out virgina dont let me wait,
You catholic girls start much too late
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one,
You know that only the good die youngI’m telling you baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the gooooooooooooooood
Only the good die young
Only the gooooooooooooooood
Only the good die young
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooo…(Only the good die young)x2
7 September, 2008 at 4:10 pm #139898You’re only human
You’re having a hard time and lately you don’t feel so good
You’re getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It’s alright, it’s alright
Sometimes that’s what it takes
You’re only human, you’re allowed to make your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When you’ll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you’ll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at schoolDon’t forget your second wind
Sooner of later you’ll get your second windIt’s not always easy to be living in this world of pain
You’re gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It’s alright, it’s alright
Though you feel your heart break
You’re only human, you’re gonna have to deal with heartacheJust like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
You’re not the only one who’s made mistakes
But they’re the only thing that you can truly call your ownDon’t forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until that breeze blows inYou’ve been keeping to yourself these days
Cause you’re thinking everything’s gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on
Till that old second wind comes alongYou probably don’t want to hear advice from someone else
But i wouldn’t be telling you if i hadn’t been there myself
It’s alright, it’s alright
Sometimes that’s all it takes
We’re only human
We’re supposed to make mistakes
But i survived all those long lonely days
When it seemed i did not have a friend
Cause all i needed was a little faith
So i could catch my breath and face the world againDon’t forget your second wind
Sooner or later you’ll feel that momentum kick in
Don’t forget your second wind
Sooner or later you’ll feel that momentum kick in7 September, 2008 at 7:16 pm #139899Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has beenCrash into my arms
I WANT YOU
You don’t agree –
But you don’t refuse
I know youAnd I know a place
Where no one is likely to pass
Oh, you don’t care if it’s late
And you don’t care if you’re lost
And oh, you look so tired
(But tonight you presume too much)
Too much, too much
And if it’s the last
Thing I ever do
I’M GONNA GET YOUCrash into my arms
I WANT YOU
You don’t agree –
But you don’t refuse
I know youCrash into my arms
I WANT YOU
You don’t agree –
But you don’t refuse
I know you
Oh …9 September, 2008 at 9:35 pm #139900Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me and I walk aloneI walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I’m the only one and I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk a…My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk aloneAh-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ahI’m walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk aloneRead between the lines
What’s fucked up and everything’s alright
Check my vital signs
To know I’m still alive and I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk a…My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk aloneAh-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ahI walk alone
I walk a…I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one and I walk a…My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk alone…10 September, 2008 at 8:36 pm #139901where is it written – barbara streisand
There’s not a morning I begin without
A thousand questions running through my mind,
That I don’t try to find the reason and the logic
In the world that God designed.
The reason why
a bird was given wings,
If not to fly and praise the sky
With every song it sings.
What’s right or wrong,
Where I belong
Within the scheme of things…
And why have eyes that see
And arms that reach
Unless you’re meant to know
There’s something more?
If not to hunger for the meaning of it all,
Then tell me what a soul is for?
Why have the wings
Unless you’re meant to fly?
And tell me please, why have a mind
If not to question why?
And tell me where-
Where is it written what it is
I’m meant to be, that I can’t dare
To have the chance to pick the fruit of every tree,
Or have my share of every sweet-imagined possibility?
Just tell me where, tell me where?
If I were only meant to tend the nest,
Then why does my imagination sail
Across the mountains and the seas,
Beyond the make-believe of any fairy tale?
Why have the thirst if not to drink the wine?
And what a waste to have a taste
Of things that can’t he mine?
And tell me where, where is it written what it is
I’m meant to be, that I can’t dare-
To find the meanings in the mornings that I see,
Or have my share of every sweet-imagined possibility?
Just tell me where- where is it written?
Tell me where-
Or if it’s written anywhere? -
