Bleeding Love

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain 
Once or twice was enough 
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen 

But something happened 
For the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy 

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears 
Try to fill me with doubt 
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy

And it’s draining all of me 
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see 

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
My heart’s crippled by the vein 
That I keep on closing 
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding 

- Leona Lewis

(No. Not love. At all.)

I Will Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back,
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
- Oh no, no way -

And some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all,
and these are the days that never end.

And some nights you're breathing fire,
And some nights you're carved in ice,
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever
seen before, or will again.

And maybe I'm crazy,
Oh it's crazy and it's true,
I know you can save me,
No one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning,
As long as your dreams are coming true -
you better believe it!

That I would do anything for love!
And I'll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love!
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way
Tonight.

And some days I pray for Silence,
And some days I pray for Soul,
Some days I just pray to the God
Of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N' Roll.

And some nights I lose the feeling
And some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all
When I watch you dance and the thunder rolls

And maybe I'm lonely,
That's all I'm qualified to be,
There's just one and only,
One and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true
You better believe it!

That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and thats a fact,
I would do anything for love!
And there'll never be no turning back

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you,
So long

But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life,
No way

Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

(I can do that.)

Will you hold me sacred, will you hold me tight?
Will you colorize my life,
I'm so sick of black and white!
Can you make it all a little less old?

(Oh, Oh, I can do that!)

Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Can you build an Emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?

(I can do that)

Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot?
Will you take me to places I'll never know?

(I can do that!)

After a while you'll forget everything,
Just a brief interlude, and a mid-summer night's fling,
Then you'll see that it's time to move on.

I know the territory - I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down,
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around...

(No, I won't do that.)

- Meat Loaf

Metal and Steel

I am metal I am steel
I don't mind cause I can't feel a thing
I'm a diamond ring

I'm not flesh & I'm not bone
And I'm not sad & I'm not all alone
I'm a stone

I'll be silver & I'll be gold
Without a heart and without even a soul
I'll be coal
I won't be blood and teeth and skin
& I won't feel the pain I'm in
I'll be tin, no heart within

The king is dead and the queen has flown
Left me here in the twilight zone
Lost & looking for a way to get back home
But there's no right & there's no wrong
And I'll be good & I'll be strong

I'll be metal and I'll be steel
And I won't mind cause I won't feel a thing

- Bob Schneider

Hand

I'm here waiting 
for something new to break my heart
So callous laden, that I can't feel a thing at all
So... will You catch my fall?

The fear is keeping time
with the beating of my heart
I'm Doin' way too much thinkin'
And it's tearing me apart
Then I, I feel You reach for me

I hear Your voice and follow (through the dark)
So hard to believe, and still I go
Yeah, still I go
From lost and not found to run and not hide
My hand inside ... Your hand
Losing my grip, falling so far
My hand inside, inside ... Your hand

- Jars of Clay
