Hanging On Too Long

It was just my mistake
thinking you'd care 
It was just my mistake
thinking you'd be there 
That you'd be by my side 
And that you wouldn't lie
My mistake 

It was just my false hope 
Thinking we'd last, yeah
It was just my false hope
Forgot all your past 
All those girls you denied
Smashed up hearts hung out to dry

I was a fool for you
Right from the start, yeah
I was a fool for you 
Hoping for a spark 
For some kind of sign 
That you would be mine 

My heart was clutching
To one fair right
My head was pumping
It could put up a fight

I know it's wrong 
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I need to move on 
I'm hanging on too long

Leave Out All the Rest

I dreamed I was missing 
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared 
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving 
when I'm done here? 
So if you're asking me I want you to know

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating 
I've shared what I made 
I'm strong on the surface 
Not all the way through 
I've never been perfect 
But neither have you 
So if you're asking me I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that i've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting / all the hurt inside you learned to hide so well 
Pretending / someone else can come and save me from myself 
I can't be who you are

- Linkin Park

After This Plan

I felt your love slip away
You know you shouldn't want to stay
Tell me why you've come back here
It hurts to have you here

The roaring silence fills the air I gotta get myself out of here
Spilling coffee on my shoe, I shiver 'cause of you
My heart turns black and blue

How can I be with you after this war?
My feelings are sore, baby
Why did you come back to hurt me some more?
This is after the war

Now in this war I can't pretend
And our souls can never mend
This has to be the end
I've got to leave it all behind On my way to another life - my new life
I have to go, baby
I.. have, baby, oh yeah

Yeah, why did you come back?
Please let me know, I don't understand
Why did you hurt me again?
This is after the war and I can't let you go

Untouched

Don't even talk about the consequence
'Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me 
And I don't give a damn what they say or what they think
Think 'cause you're the only one who's on my mind 
I'll never ever let you leave me
I'll try to stop time forever
Never want to hear you say goodbye 
Goodbye
Bye

Don't even think about what's right or wrong
Or wrong
Or right
'Cause in the end it's only you and me 
And no one else is gonna be around to answer all the questions left behind
And you and I are meant to be
So even if the world falls down today you still got me to hold you up 
And I won't ever let you down

I feel so untouched and I want you so much that I just can't resist you 
It's not enough to say that I miss you 
I feel so untouched right now 
Need you so much somehow 
I can't forget you
Going crazy from the moment I met you

- The Veronicas

No Air

If I should die before I wake
It's cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way 
that I could make you understand

I walked I ran I jumped I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
Theres no gravity to hold me down for real

But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath but I survived
I don't know how but I don't even care

But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
Cause my world revolves around you
it's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there

Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you going to breathe without me
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
There's no air

Walking on Sunshine

I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure
And I just can’t wait ‘til the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
‘Cause I just can't wait ‘till you write me you're coming around

I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it’s true
And I don’t want to spend my whole life, just waiting for you
Now I don’t want you back for the weekend 
Not back for a day, no no no
I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay

I’m walking on sunshine whoa
I’m walking on sunshine whoa
I’m walking on sunshine whoa
And don’t it feel good

I’ll say it again now
And don’t it feel good ;)

I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that’s really real
I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that’s really real

Come a Little Closer

I know that it's late
and maybe I shouldn't be so into you
It's just that tonight
I am so taken, I've fallen for you
When I look in your eyes I can see
a million possibilities
and I know you'll be leaving me soon
but tonight...

Come a little bit closer
Let me hold you baby
I will be good to you
And we can try 
to forget tomorrow
and make it last forever tonight

So if you must go
Know that I'll be missing you, wishing you closer
So let's make the most of these
moments together, we'll never forget
And it's breaking my heart 'cause I know
that tomorrow you'll be miles away
And I catch myself wanting so much more
Tonight

- Brandy

Every Day is Exactly the Same

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose 
But then again, that might have been a dream 

I think I used to have a voice 
Now I never make a sound 
I just do what I’ve been told
I really don’t want them to come around, oh no

I can feel their eyes are watching 
In case I lose myself again 
Sometimes I think I’m happy here 
(Sometimes) 
Sometimes, yet I still pretend 

I can’t remember how this got started
Oh, but I can tell you exactly how it will end

I’ll write it on a little piece of paper 
I’m hoping, someday, you might find 
Well I’ll hide it behind something 
They won’t look behind 

I am still inside her
A little bit comes bleeding through 
I wish this could’ve been any other way
But I just don’t know, I don’t know what else I can do

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain 
Every day is exactly the same

Strong Enough

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
are you strong enough to be my man?

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
So try and love me if you can
are you strong enough to be my man?

My man......
Are you strong enough? (to be my man....)
Are you strong enough? (to be my man....)
Are you strong enough? (my.....man)

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand...
would you be man enough to be my man?

(Lie to me
I promise, I'll believe
Lie to me
but please don't leave)
