There comes a time A time in everyone's life When nothing seems to go their way When nothing seems to turn out right There may come a time You just can't seem to find your place For every door you open Seems like you get two slammed in your face
That's when you need someone Someone that you can call When all your faith is gone It feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me
Feels like you always coming up last Pockets full of nothing Ain't got no cash Don't matter where you turn You ain't got no place to stand You reach out for something and they slap your hand
I remember all too well Just how it feels to be all alone You feel like you'd give anything For just a little place you can call your own
That's when you need someone Someone that you can call When all your faith is gone It feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me Let it be me

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. --------Eleanor Roosevelt
This is for all of the BW's who need some confidence. I LOVE this song.
You left me like a broken doll In pieces as I took the fall for you, you dumb chump! You left me free-falling like space junk Burning up in the atmosphere of life
Well I sound like a philosopher but I'm a fool who's off her rocker 'Cause I let you in my heart that one last time
I've had enough, made up my mind I'm gonna get up and out and wahhh!
I love myself today Not like yesterday I'm cool, I'm calm I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh I love myself today Not like yesterday Take another look at me now 'Cause it's your last look Your last look forever
Well look at you you're all puffed up In that big red truck- but you're outta luck (this time) Well, that's tough 'Cause I'm on fire- too hot to touch with a chatroom full of lovers on the line Gonna step right up. Spit shine my soul I'm gonna be proud and loud and outta control!
I love myself today Not like yesterday I'm cool, I'm calm I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh I love myself today Not like yesterday Take another look at me now 'Cause it's your last look Your last look forever
I'm lookin' in the mirror and I like what I see: I've lost the fear & the horror that's been eating at me 'Cause being with you is like a hangman's noose I was living my life in dead man's shoes
I've had enough. Made up my mind I'm gonna get up and out and wahhh!
I love myself today Not like yesterday I'm cool, I'm calm I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh I love myself today Not like yesterday Take another look at me now
I love myself today Not like yesterday You're dead and gone I'm gonna get my way I love myself today Not like yesterday Take another look at me now 'Cause it's your last look Your last look forever!!
I love myself today [x7]
I may not agree with all of the words, but the sentiment is good. Very empowering.
On the Vacation Thread on the Recovery Forum, Cinders linked to a song she said was "gritty." As soon as I thought about that word for a second, I thought of this cut, from B.B.King.
The lyrics: (at least one version of them)
Quote
Been downhearted baby ever since the day we met I've been downhearted baby ever since the day we met Our love is nothin' but the blues Baby how blue can you get
My love is like a fire Your love is like a cigarette My love is like a fire But baby yours is like a cigarette I watch you step down on it baby and crush it Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get
You're evil when I'm with you and you're jealous when we're apart Yes you're evil when I'm with you baby You're jealous when we're apart How blue can you get, Baby The answer's right here in my heart
I gave you a brand new Ford and you just said I want a Cadillac I bought you a ten dollar dinner You said Thanks for the snack I let you live in my penthouse You said it was just a shack I gave you seven children and now you wanna give 'em back
I've been downhearted baby ever since the day we met Our love is nothin' but the blues Baby how blue can you get
I'd gladly walk across the desert With no shoes upon my feet To share with you the last bite of bread I had to eat I would swim back to save you In your sea of broken dreams When all your hopes are sinking Let me show you what love means
Love can build a Bridge Between your heart and mine Love can build a Bridge Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time?
I would whisper love so loudly Every heart could understand That love and only love Can join the tribes of man I would give my heart's desire So that you might see The first step is to realize That it all begins with you and me
Love can build a Bridge Between your heart and mine Love can build a Bridge Don't you think it's time? Oh, don't you think it's time?
When we stand together It's our finest hour We can do anything, anything Anything, anything Keep believin' in the power
Love can build a Bridge Between your heart and mine Love can build a Bridge Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time?
Verse 1 I I wish you could swim Like the dolphins Like dolphins can swim Though nothing Will keep us together We can beat them For ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes Just for one day
verse2 I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing Will drive them away We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be us Just for one day
verse3 I I can remember Standing By the wall And the guns Shot above our heads And we kissed As though nothing could fall And the shame Was on the other side Oh we can beat them For ever and ever Then we can be Heroes Just for one day
outro We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We're nothing And nothing will help us Maybe we're lying Then you better not stay But we could be safer Just for one day

You've been too gone,for too long, it's too late to come back now It's been so long since you walked out my door now you're just an old song nobody sings anymore I gotta a new love and she's the true love but darlin' how could you have known? you've been too gone, for too long now it's too late to come back home
You've came a long way, goin' the wrong way don't even set your suitcase down You wanted to roam, now you're paying the bills you're an old rollin' stone who rode over the hills I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye" I didn't wanna let you go but you've been too gone for too long now it's too late to come back home
I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye" I didn't wanna let you go but you've been too gone for too long so why don't you just stay gone? now you've been too gone for too long now it's too late to come back home
We're the best partners this world's ever seen, Together as close as can be. But sometimes it's hard to find time in between, To tell you what you mean to me.
You are the rose of my heart, You are the love of my life. A flower not fading nor falling apart, If you're tired, rest your head on my arm. Rose of my heart.
When sorrow holds you in its arms of clay, It's rain drops that fall from your eyes. Your smile's like the sun come to earth for a day, You brighten my blackest of skies.
You are the rose of my heart, You are the love of my life. A flower not fading nor falling apart, If you're cold, let my love make you warm. Rose of my heart.
So hard times or easy times, what do I care, There's nothing I'd change if I could. The tears and the laughter are things that we share, Your hand in mine makes it good.
You are the rose of my heart, You are the love of my life. A flower not fading nor falling apart, If you're cold, let my love make you warm. Rose of my heart.
You are the rose of my heart, You are the love of my life. A flower not fading nor falling apart, If you're cold, let my love make you warm. Rose of my heart.
