Lyrics

I’m a real fan of songs with powerful lyrics, especially those that resonate with me in some way. Here are some examples of this:

Simple Plan :: Your Love is a Lie

I fall asleep by the telephone
It’s 2 o’clock and I’m waiting up alone
Tell me where have you been?

I found a note with another name
You blow a kiss, but it just don’t feel the same
Cause I can feel that you’re gone

I can’t bite my tongue forever
While you try to play it cool
You can hide behind your stories
But don’t take me for a fool

You can tell me that there’s nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you’re home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, but I know

Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
It’s nothing but a lie
(Lie)

You look so innocent
But the guilt in your voice gives you away
Yeah you know what I mean

How does it feel when you kiss
when you know that I trust you
And do you think about me when he fucks you?
Could you be more obscene?

So don’t try to say you’re sorry
Or try to make it right.
Don’t waste your breath because it’s too late, it’s too late.

You can tell me that there’s nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you’re home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know

Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
It’s nothing but a lie
(Lie)
You’re nothing but a lie.

You can tell me that there’s nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you’re home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know

Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
I know you’re nothing but a lie
(Lie)
Lie
(Lie)
Lie
You’re nothing but a lie
Lie
Your love is just a lie

Alter Bridge :: Wonderful Life

Close your eyes,
And just hear me sing,
One last long goodbye,
One last song before you spread your wings.

There’s so much left to say,
Before this moment slips away.

What a wonderful life,
For as long as you’ve been at my side,
And I want you to know,
I loved you so.

The cold night calls,
And the tears fall like rain,
It’s so hard letting go,
Of the one thing I’ll never replace.

And soon you will be gone,
But these words, they will live on.

What a wonderful life,
For as long as you’ve been at my side,
And I want you to know,
I’ll miss you so.
And though our days come to an end,
No, I’ll never love like this again,
What a wonderful life my friend.

And all that I am,
You let me be,
I will remember you,
For all that you’ve done,
And given to me.

Love will remain,
This I can see,
Now and forever more,
Because of you,
Now I believe, I believe.

What a wonderful life,
For as long as you’ve been at my side,
And I want you to know,
I loved you so.

What a wonderful life,
For as long as you’ve been at my side,
And I want you to know,
I’ll miss you so.

And though our days come to an end,
No, I’ll never love like this again.

What a wonderful life
A wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
And with one last embrace,
As the tears fall like rain you’re gone
And with one last goodbye,
As you fade out tonight, you’re gone…

Linkin Park :: 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

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
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
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are

[Chorus]
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
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
I can’t be who you are
