dealing with a heart I didn't break...

Artist: Drake ft. Rihanna
Song: Take Care
Album: Take Care
LISTEN NOW!

[Rihanna] 
I know you've been hurt, by, someone else. 
I can tell by the way, you carry yourself. 
If you let me, here's what I'll do. 
I'll take care of you. 
I've loved and I've lost. 

[Drake] [Verse1] 
I've asked about you, and they told me things, 
But, my mind didn't change and I still feel the same 
What's a life with no fun, please don't be so ashamed. 
I've had mine, you've had yours. 
We both know, we know. 
They won't get you like I will, 
My only wish is I die real, 
Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal. 
And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still. 
So you cry still, tears all in her pillowcase, 
Big girls all get a little taste, oh 
Pushing me away, so I give her space oh. 
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break. 
I'll be there for you, I will care for you 
I keep thinking you just don't know. 
Tryna run from that, say you done with that, 
On your face girl it just don't show. 
When your ready, just say your ready. 
When all the baggage just ain't as heavy, 
And the party's over just don't forget me. 
We'll change the pace, and we'll just go slow. 

[Hook] [Drake] 
You won't ever have to worry. 
You won't ever have to hide. 
And you have seen all my mistakes, 
So look me in my eyes. 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/drake/take+care_20975670.html ] 
[Rihanna] 
Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do. 
I'll take care of you. 
I've loved and I've lost. 

[Verse 2] [Drake] 
It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to, 
Can't deny that I want you, 
But I'll lie if I have to. Cause you don't say you love me, 
To your friends when they ask you. 
Even though we both know that you do, you do. 
One time, been in love one time. 
You and all your girls in the club one time. 
All so convinced that you're following your heart, 
Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes. 
We all have our nights though, 
Don't be so ashamed. 
I've had mine, you've had yours. 
We both know, we know. 

[Hook] 
You hate being alone when you ain't the only one. 
You hate the fact that you bought the dream 
When they sold you one. 
And you love your friends, 
But somebody should have told you somethin, 
To save you. 
Instead they say... 

("Don't tell me, I don't care, if you hurt. 
I don't tell you, you don't care if you're true. 
Don't tell me, I don't care, if you hurt. 
I don't tell you, you don't care, if you're true.") 

[Rihanna] 
I know you've been hurt, By, someone else. 
I can tell by the way, you carry yourself. 
If you let me, here's what I'll do. 
I'll take care of you. 
I've loved and I've lost.

Tonight I'm going to bury that horse in the ground.

Artist: Florence + the Machine
Song: Shake It Out
Album: Ceremonials
LISTEN NOW!

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

I'll never understand my heart

Artist: Rachael Yamagata
Song: Even if I Don't
Album: Chesapeake
LISTEN NOW!


miss you most in the morning
Most every morning
I wake up thinking
I could call
I could come visit
I could come running
We could relive it

But when I think of all that we've been through
Going back to you
Seems such a foolish thing to do
I hope you know
That even if I don't
I wanted to

All those words
You said at the ending
Were pretty revealing
And I can't forget them
All those ways
We missed at connecting
Despite all our trying
It always came back to
What I couldn't give you

So when I think of starting up again
Or trying to be friends
It seems impossible to do
I hope you know
That even if we can't
I wanted to

Who knows why
Two people perfectly aligned
Should ever have to find themselves apart
I'll never understand my heart

I miss you
Most in the morning
Most every morning
I wake up crying

You feel like breathing

Artist: Rosi Golan
Song: Come Around to Me
Album: The Gypsy and the Drifter
LISTEN NOW!

So high tonight and I don’t feel like coming down
I can lie to you all my days, But you’re the one, you’re the one

And I’m a fool for waiting so long to let you know
Come around come around come around come around to me
There’s something in between you and I come around come around to me
You feel like breathing, Come around come around come around come around to me
Like sunlight, won’t you come and lay a ray down? You’re the one.
I could run, I could run for the life of me.
But where would that get me? Where would that lead?
And I’m a fool for waiting so long
Come around come around come around come around to me
There’s something in between you and I come around come around to me
You feel like breathing, Come around come around come around come around to me
Can’t you see? You’re my life line
Come around come around come around come around to me
There’s something in between you and I come around come around to me
You feel like breathing, Come around come around come around come around to me

Your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine

Artist: The Civil Wars
Song: Poison and Wine
Album: Barton Hallow
LISTEN NOW!

You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
Oh you think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I still choose you
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will

You're barely waking but I'm tangled up in you

Artist: Howie Day

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you, yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find you and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find you and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find you and I collide

You finally find you and I collide
You finally find you and I collide

Throw out my heart and get a new one

Currently a bit obsessed.





Oh, oh, starry eyed
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning

Handle bars, and then I let go
Let go for anyone
Take me in, and throw out
My heart and get a new one

Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

So we burst into colors
Colors and carousels
Fall head first
Like paper planes and playground games

Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/ellie-goulding-lyrics/starry-eyed-lyrics.html ]

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching

Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching

Hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

Walls that I won't climb

Just an old favorite.



It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb
Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling down

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Its hard to know when to give up the fight
Two things you want will just never be right
Its never rained like it has to night before
Now I don't wanna beg you baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain Rain Rain

I can still feel you lean into kiss me...

Artist: Lady Antebellum

I finally asked you to dance
On the last slow song
And beneath the moon that was really a disco ball
I can still feel my head on your shoulder
Hoping that song would never be over

Chorus

I haven't seen you in ages
Sometimes I find myself
wondering where you are
for me you'll always be 18
and beautiful and dancing away with my heart

I brushed your curls back so I could see your eyes
And the way you moved me was like you were in my mind
I can still feel you lean into kiss me
I can't help but wonder if you ever miss me

Chorus

I haven't seen you in ages
Sometimes I find myself
wondering where you are
for me you'll always be 18
and beautiful and dancing away with my heart

Oh you headed out to college
At the end of that summer when we lost touch
I guess I didn't realize even at that moment we so much

Chorus

I haven't seen you in ages
Sometimes I find myself
wondering where you are
for me you'll always be 18
and beautiful and dancing away with my heart

Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah

Away with My Heart

Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah

You'd be the line that sticks out to me

Artist: Lights

If you are a cliff hanger ending
I'm the one that doesn't know anything
Like a magpie and a ring
I am always gonna be looking right to you
Oh, you capture my attention
Carefully listening, don't wanna miss a thing
Keeping my eyes on you
Got me on my toes
If I were to hide out on the sea
You'd be whispering from the westerlies
In any book I'll ever read
You'd be the line that sticks out to me
Oh, you capture my attention
Carefully listening, don't wanna miss a thing
Keeping my eyes on you
Oh, you capture my attention
I'm anticipating, I'm watching and waiting
For you to make your move
Got me on my toes
Got me on my toes

I don't know what the plan is but you can share with me

Artist: Foster the People

Never wanna stand up for myself
Never wanna get in the way, I said it
I don’t know what the plan is,
But you can share with me, ‘cause I’ll
Be listening here,
To everything you say, I won’t turn away
And I will listen, open up my heart and
I must say that I love you, so

Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known

Every day is a battle I face
Strange life i live but its what you've decided
I’ll give it all into your hands,
Do what you will with me, and oh
I’ll smile when you speak
Remember all those times I was hoping for something
And shaking my head from all I have done
But you never left me

Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known

Give it up for you, I would give it up for you
I would give it up for you, I’d do anything for you

Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I’ve fallen in love, and it’s better this time than I’ve ever known

I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love

I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight

Artist: Foster the People

Sometimes life it takes you by the hand.
It puts you down before you know it
It's gone and you're dead again.
I've been in places and I won't pretend
That I make it I just follow my head.
When its strange to take a walk downstairs
Sweep u all up on a corner and pay for my bread.
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show what a truth, got nothin' to lose.

Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight.

You know those days when u wanted to choose
To not get out of bed and get lost in your head again.
You play the game but you gotta cut
Cuz' you're comin' down hard your joints are off stud.
I tried to say that's not the only way
I never knew if I could convince myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall I got the call of the prison I was livin' in.

Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight

I miss you Seattle.

Artist: The Asteroids Galaxy Tour

I wished I lived in the golden age
Giving it up on the Broadway stage
Hang with the rats and smoke cigars
Have a break with Frank and count the stars

Dressed to the nines, with hair to match
Shiny jewels, casino cash
Tapping feet, wanna take the lead
A trip back in time is all I need

Oh!
Sing it out loud gonna get back honey
Sing it out loud get away with me
Sing it out loud on a trip back honey
Sing it out loud and let yourself free

Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

I'm on my way, gonna make it big
Gonna make these songs for the chicks to dig
It's really hot and a little bit sour
We're getting your strength to maximum power

Flying away from reality
Whatever-ever happened to gravity?
I see it clear, a shooting star
And I'm really gonna sing it like da-da-da

Sing it out loud gonna get back honey
Sing it out loud get away with me
Sing it out loud on a trip back honey
Sing it out loud and let yourself free

Yeah!

Sing it out loud gonna get back honey
Sing it out loud get away with me
Sing it out loud on a trip back honey
Sing it out loud and let yourself free

Yeah-yeah!
Woah-oah!
Wow!

Ohhh silver screen on a rainy day
Sally Bowles in Cabaret
Shaking sticks, oh what a show
Fresh and jolly, from tip to toe

Rambling down the boulevard
With a fire burning in a wooden heart
My mind is set, I won't be lying
But I never really thought it would feel this fine

Yeah!
Sing it out loud gonna get back honey
Sing it out loud get away with me
Sing it out loud on a trip back honey
Sing it out loud and let yourself free

Sing it out loud gonna get back honey
Sing it out loud get away with me
Sing it out loud on a trip back honey
Sing it out loud and let yourself free!

Yeah!
Hey! Hey!
Whoo!
Ooh!
Oooooaaahh!

Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

I would say I'm doing just fine


Dreams, that's where I have to go
To see your beautiful - face anymore
I stare at a picture of you, and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
Where we both admit we had it good
But until then it's alienation, I know
That much is understood - and I realize

If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm - not over you (not over you)

Damn, damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
Took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me
I turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you

If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm - not over you (not over you)


And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then...

If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm - not over you (not over you)
