She put him out like the burning
end of a midnight cigarette.

She broke his heart: He spent his
whole life trying to forget.

We watched him drink his
pain away, a little at a time,

But he never could get drunk
enough to get her off his mind,

Until the night:
He put that bottle to his
head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank
away her memory.
Life is short, but this
time it was bigger,
Than the strength he had
to get up off his knees.
We found him with his
face down in the pillow,
With a note that said:
"I'll love her till I die."
And when we buried
him beneath the willow,
The angels sang
a whiskey lullabye.

The rumors flew- but nobody
knew how much she blamed herself.

For years and years, she tried
to hide the whiskey on her breath.

She finally drank her pain away,
a little at a time,

But she never could get drunk
enough to get him off her mind.

Until the night:
She put that bottle to her head
and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank
away his memory.
Life is short, but this
time it was bigger,
Than the strength she
had to get up off her knees.
We found her with her face
down in the pillow,
Clinging to his picture
for dear life.
We laid her next to him
beneath the willow,
While the angels sang
a whiskey lullabye.

Oh, hey....if you wanna hear this song go to this page: Whiskey Lullabye

Sorry...It's Friday night, and I'm alone....I'm in the sad song funk, my apologies, but here's another one.

Going Under
By:Evanescence

Now I will tell you what I've done for you
40 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again.

I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughs in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again

I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through

So go on and scream
Scream at me, I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe I can't keep going under

You guys have to buy this Evanescence CD

Everybody's Fool
By Evanescence

Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that

Never was and never will be
Have you no shame, don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled

Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she

Never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

Without the mask where will you hide
Can't find yourself lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Some how now you're everybody's fool

The first time I heard Whiskey Lyllaby, I cried like a baby in the car. I was so shocked by the lyrics and what happened, it made me think of my life. That songs always gets to me. I saw the video of it this weekend and I just cried. Funny how songs can do that to us huh?

I actually love these songs.....Sometimes I need to feel all this. I spend so much time running away from it.

I need to put a brush to canvas or pen to paper here in the near future.

My WH cries like a little baby when he hears Whiskey Lullabye...
Weird that it would bother him but he does nothing about it..

The Dance
Garth Brooks

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

Shameless
Garth Brooks

Well I'm shamemeless when it comes to loving you
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything at all

And I'm standing here for all the world to see
Oh baby, that's what's left of me
Don't have very far to fall

You know now I'm not a man who's ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied

I'm shameless, oh honey, I don't have a prayer
Every time I see you standin' there
I go down upon my knees

And I'm changing, swore I'd never compromise
Oh, but you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please

You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you

I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I've never had so much to lose
Oh, I'm shameless

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this

It's out of my hands

I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I got to let it go

Oh, I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted to you to know

Oh, I'm shameless, I just wanted you to know
Oh, I'm shameless, Oh, I'm down on my knees... shameless

Sheesh, how do you edit?? I copy/pasted these last lyrics and there are typos in it....grrrrrr

In My Dreams
Dokken

In my dreams it's still the same
Your love is strong you still remain

Toss and turn all night in the sheets
I can't sleep
Night after night don't know what it means
In my dreams

What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away

In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be

Calling your name, but you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles, waiting to see you
In my dreams

What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away

In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be

In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be

In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you'll always be
In my heart and in my dreams
In my dreams--it's still the same
In my dreams--you're still by me
In my dreams--just the way it used to be
In my dreams--what can I say
In my dreams--You're still by me
And in my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--your love is strong
In my dreams--You're still the same
In my dreams

Music is good... In fact its been one of my saving graces...

I've played and listened to music a whole lot more than I ever have in the past. I think it helps because it helps you release or experience emotions you have bottled up inside of you....

Hang in there!

Miker

They keep playing this on the radio right now and its just so true for us.
Our lives seem so much like this ...

When the war is over gotta get away,
pack my bags to no place and no time, no day
you and I we used each other shoulder,
still so young but somehow so much older,
how can I go home and not get blown away

Aint nobody gunna steal this heart away
Aint nobody gunna steal this heart away

When the war is over got to start again,
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then,
all around this chaos and madness,
cant help feelin nothin more than sadness,
only choice is to face it the best I can.

Aint nobody gunna steal this heart away
Aint nobody gunna steal this heart away

You and I we sang each others stories,
Just a page I'm lost in all this glory
how can I go home and not get blown away
hey

Aint nobody gunna steal this heart away
Aint nobody gunna steal this heart away
Aint nobody gunna steal this heart away
when the war is over ………...someday

And just special for you... here's some lyrics to one of the songs I wrote... (I'm sure you can guess who you and me are in this song <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

Set me Free
Miker

Wonderin', you and me
Searchin', you and me
Trying to find, an epiphany

Lookin', you and me
Smilin', you and me
Eyes that meet, so dreamily

If its nothin'
then set me free
This prison
Aint for me

Drinkin', you and me
Flirtin', you and me
We behave, so carelessly

Fightin', you and me
Screamin', you and me
It doesn't end happily

If its nothin',
then set me free,
This prison,
Aint for me

By Linkin Park

"Somewhere I Belong"

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Repeat Chorus]

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

[Repeat Chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
