How the hell'd we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able?
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wished you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been toO much of this
BUT don't think its too late

Nothin's wrong
Just as long as you
Know that someday I will

Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when

Well I hope that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end UP Staying

Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothins wrong
Just as long as you
know that someday i will

Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

[solo]

How the hell'd we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror

Nothins wrong
Just as long as you
Know that someday I will

Someday,Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday,Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
I know your wondering when

Links to Nickelback Lyrics

heavenlee30,

And, apparently the video is really good too. I haven't seen it, but apparently, the H is pining for his W, whom he did wrong. It turns out that she died after and he's not able to fix things. So, at the end of the video, he gets hit by a truck or something, and ends up dying too, so they are together once again.

On our way home from the hospital last Oct. (I'd just had baby), FWH said there was a song out that reminded him of us and our situation. At that time he didn't know the name of it, and I couldn't think of it either. A few nights later, we were lying in bed, with the radio on, and a song I had never heard came on. I listened to the lyrics and thought to myself, this must be the song H was talking about. Just then, H said, this is the song. It was the first time I had ever heard it, but it really hit home.

There's another song out there by a new group called Hoobastank (SP) called "The reason." It's along the same lines, very good song.

Thanks for posting the lyrics.
MOP

I sent the lyrics to my WH too.... I am going to try to catch the video... I haven't seen it. I am also going to be on the look out for that song too. Thanks... this song really hits home for me and I hope upon hope that someday somehow he will make it alright. Crossing fingers and praying daily....

Can you please tell me what video this is? Thank you.

"Someday" by Nickleback

Here are lyrics to a song by Brian Vander Ark (lead singer from Verve Pipe - "the Freshman")
that I gave to my H when I tried to get M back on track (during his A) but I still find relevant now:

Rise, my love
Be the one that you are
Surprise, my love
I love everything that you are
You are the lows, you are the highs
You’re the fears and the pain
And rest assured, WE WILL SURVIVE ANOTHER YEAR
What’s it gonna take to redirect, to reconnect us, resurrect us
What’s it gonna take to perfect us, to reconnect us, resurrect us

Rise above when I am what I am
Surprise, you love everything that I am
I am the lows, I am the highs
I’m the fears and the pain
And rest assured, WE WILL SURVIVE ANOTHER YEAR
What’s it gonna take to redirect, to reconnect us, resurrect us
What’s it gonna take to perfect us, to reconnect us, resurrect us
If we are a problem then we will correct us

We are the lows, we are the highs
We’re the fears and the pain
We’re not some temporary haven in a fierce hurricane
Bring on the wind, bring on the rain,
The thunder, the lightening, it’s insane

I want the sun, I want the breeze
Yeah, we made it now we're
redirected, reconnected, and resurrected
I want us to take on the world and be unaffected, be reconnected and
Be resurrected.

I love that one... but I haven't heard it yet... the lyrics are great... another one for me to look for. I think music just kinda allows you to feel doesn't it? Here's another one that really hits home for me and I like to listen to it too.

It's kinda my prayer song when I down... and Nickelback is my upbeat song to get me motivated. You know when on that rollercoaster gotta ride the hills...

This one is by the Eagles

There’s a hole in the world tonight.
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There’s a hole in the world tonight.
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind.
But all this fighting over who is anointed,
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There’s a hole in the world tonight.
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There’s a hole in the world tonight.
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

Oh, they tell me there’s a place over yonder
Cool water running through the burning sand.
Until we learn to love one another,
We will never reach the Promised Land.

There’s a hole in the world tonight.
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There’s a hole in the world tonight.
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

(There’s a hole in the world tonight.)
They say that anger is just love disappointed.
(There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.)
They say that love is just a state of mind.
(There’s a hole in the world tonight.)
But all this fighting over who will be anointed,
(Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.)
Oh, how can people be so blind?

There’s a hole in the world tonight.
(Hole in the world)
There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
(Fear and sorrow)
There’s a hole in the world tonight.
(Ooooh)
Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow (repeat three times

I found the lyrics to The Reason MOP mentioned...
I haven't heard the song but I like the lyrics.

Here they are:

Artist: Hoobastank
Song: The Reason

Lyrics:

I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

This is to all WS EVERYWHERE!!!

Eagles Lyrics

Desperado Lyrics


Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Heavenlee - THANK YOU so much for those lyrics. I'm BAWLING right now reading "the reason"

I wrote down the lyrics and I'm going to give them to my BH. It's EXACTLY how I feel! Thank you again for posting!!!!!

YW... I am glad this thread is helping... Keep posting those songs that make you feel better or mean something to you... Never know they may mean something to someone else and help them through. Music has tremendous healing power.

I forgot this... if you find a song that really reminds you of your spouse and want to send it to him/her... you might try www.beatgreets.com it's a place that allows you to send ecards with songs by various artists.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> there are two songs by Josh Groban that really hit me hard. I'd like to send the lyrics to my H, but I don't know if its the right thing to do.

Here's the first one:

Never Let Go

I can't understand it.
The search for an answer is met with a darker day.
And we've been handed these moments forever.
But I'm reassured there's another way.
You don't have to close your eyes.
There is room for love again.
Ease the pain to realize
All that love can be.
Forced apart by time and sand.
Take a step and take my hand.
And don't let it go.
Never let go.

Broken, once connected,
We were so strong and so blessed in a simple way.
So don't let me go it alone.
Turn your head up to the sky.
Nothing down below but me.
Face the truth to realize
All that we could be.
Torn apart by rage and fear.
Hold on to what brought you here.
Don't let it go.
Never let it go.

Turn your head up to the sky.
Nothing down below.
Don't let go.


Here's part of the second one:

Broken Vow

I let you go I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go now that I've found
a way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch the you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time?

I close my eyes and dream of you and I
and then I realize
there's more to love than bitterness and lies
I close my eye
I'd give away my soul to hold you once again
and never let those moments end

I let you go I let you fly
Now that I know I'm asking why
I let you go and now that I've found
a way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow.
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">

Ok for all those in my stage. I know this song makes me feel so good.

Believe Lyrics

Carl:
I always dreamed that everything would be okay with me and you,
I was wrong
When I looked into your eyes I didn't see all the things I used to see, what's
going on
Faith:
You gave me reasons to believe that we were always meant to be but now I see
You were wrong
You can't keep running back to me with all those baby baby pleases no more
no more

Chorus
Never imagined you would be a faded picture I'm emotional (I'm emotional)
It's so believing your deceiving it's official I'm emotional, (I'm
emotional)

I can't forget that night I saw you in the corner wrapped up tight
You were warm ooh
Slow dancing on the floor while I was watching from the door so hurt
There you were
You gave me reasons to believe that we were always meant to be but now I see
You were wrong
You can't keep running back to me with all those baby baby pleases no more
no more

Chorus

Bridge
You had your chance
But you threw it all away
Thought you had my love always (oh baby)
I don't understand (I just don't understand)
How you think that we could stay
In total unhappiness

Chorus

From Jonatha Brooke's "10 cent wings" album:
Because I Told You So
If I gave you the sky
If I laid down my life
Would you believe me then?

If I promised to change
If I carried the blame
Would you believe me then?

Could you see it like me
And believe what I see
Could you listen, and remember that I love you
Only,
Because I told you, because I told you so.

If you told me you lied
But I stayed true and tried
Would you believe me then?

And if your beauty was gone
But my love lingered on
Would you believe me then?

Could you see it like me
And believe what I see
Could you listen and remember that I love you
Only,
Because I told you, because I told you so.

You take the wheel for now
I'm too tired to drive this one home anyhow,
For now

And when you mention my name
Let this one thing remain,
My love,
Believe me now.

and Landmine, from the same album:
There never was a world I couldn't sing into place until now
There never was a love that I could not replace until now
Winter was hard, we came out with our hearts frozen through
Now we're holding our breath, and I'm trying to hold on to you

What was it that you wanted that I didn't understand
The Boomerang of expectation's back to bite the hand

I give my love to you
And you, you walk away too soon

A landmine doesn't take much to trigger the blast
You could feel along my faults and defenses at last
Someday you'll dismantle the colored wires
Yellow, green or red, is it love or desire

You can face me now or you can shrug and act surprised
Either way someday you'll see yourself reflected in my eyes

I give my love to you
And you, so brave, sing "heroes" when you're all alone
You balk at what you should have known,
You've got nothing to lose, but me

You lose me, love me, choose me

There never was a world I couldn't sing into place until now
There never was a love that I could not replace until now

But I, I give my love to you
And you, you walk away too soon
I, I give my love to you
And you, so brave,
Sing "Heroes" when you're all alone,
You balk at what you should've known
You've got nothing to lose, but me
You lose me, love me, choose me

If you go to her website, jonatha brooke you can listen to the songs. Just click on "music" in the top left corner and select 10 cent wings (album second from right on the top) and listen to tracks.

That's great...

I like The Choice too...

I don't know what you expected
I don't know what else you've heard
But I guess you think you got what's coming to you
And I got what I deserve

I won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
I'll know what to do, I will not lie
I'll take the chance, I may be fine
But I may never be the same

I didn't ask for your precious pity
I didn't ask for your pain
And I didn't ask for your opinion
In the name of your saints

I won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
I'll know what to do, I will not lie
Either way I lose, either way we die,
Either way I'm alone when it's time to decide

I don't know what you expected
I don't know what else you've heard
Maybe I'll take what's coming to me
Cuz it might be what I deserve

I won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
I'll know what to do, I will not lie
I may be crazy, I may be blind
But I might love you more than my life

My choice, my chance, roulette, romance
I couldn't say no, now I still can't
God curse this moment God bless this dance
I will never be the same

Hope this will help empower some WS to get away from OP!
Kinda simplictic, but meaningful I think if you read into it a little


Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned

'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no life
I defy

CHORUS:
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin

'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Than always staying in
Feel the wind

Chorus

I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean

Chorus

Let's go back
Back to the beginning

Dan Fogelberg-Last To Know

Living in a house of cards
Praying the wind doesn't blow too hard
Giving in to differences
Straining to keep up appearances.

Making believe the thread can be saved
You're aching to leave but
Deathly afraid of letting go
The threads entangled you so.

Jealousies and legal fees
Running away like two refugees
Shadowed eyes and alibis
Tell you too late you've been victimized.

Freedom is near but seems to elude you
Trying to change you dreams into
What your needs allow
It should be easy by now
Why is love always the last to know?

Falling back on better days
Trying your damnedest to laugh
You've thrown those childish dreams away
It's over, you say, still you ask
Why is love always the last to know?

This song is by Bad Company..I listen to this quite frequently..

Silver, Blue And Gold Lyrics

In the beginning
I believed every word that you said
Now that you're gone
My world is in shreds
Oh you loved me and left me
You took all the things that I needed so bad
I'm standing here wondering
Where is the love that I had

CHORUS:
Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky I'm told
My rainbow is overdue

In the beginning
There was something of love that was mine
Now that it's gone
Whoa I'm crying
Oh the time that it takes for a love to grow cold
Is a wonder to me
I'm walking around with my head hanging down
Tell me where is she

CHORUS

Don't forsake me 'cause I love you (2x)

CHORUS (2x)

Now give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky I'm told
My rainbow is overdue, yeah

Oh don't forsake me 'cause I love you
Don't forsake me 'cause I love you

Because our painful ending just may be a happy beginning later on...
If She Would Have Been Faithful --- Chicago


I was thinking about her
Visiting the past
Reconstructing details with old photographs
(I was) Studying the faces
With an objective point of view
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me
At the time you couldn't tell me
That one day I'd be glad
That something that I thought was love
Was misinterpreted
She had another lover - she emphatically denied
But they were doin' me a favor
A blessing in disguise
If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would have missed out on you
I watch you sleeping - your body touchin' me
There's no doubt about it
This is where I want to be
You know it's so ironic - I had to lose to win
I want to thank her (thank her again)
If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would have missed out on you
It's a paradox - full of contradiction
How I got from there to here
It defies a
Logical explanation
If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would have missed out on you
(Missed out on you)
If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
(If she were true)
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would have missed out on you
(Missed out on you)
If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
