Amazing Lyrics

I'm such a lyrics whore :lol

Wake Up- Alicia Keys


You used to be my closest ally
In this cold cold world of deception and lies
We would defend and protect one another
Now I can't tell if we're enemies or lovers

So who's gonna rescue us from ourselves

When we gonna wake up baby?
When it's time for lovin'
Before it's too late?

Oh, baby, where did we go wrong, baby?
Did this cold, cold world turn us into stone?
Now all I battle is your ego and your pride
It's ticking like a time bomb, ready too ignite
Hurtin' me to fight

Who's gonna rescue us from ourselves

When we gonna wake up baby?
It's time for lovin'
When it's time for lovin'
Before it's too late?

When the smoke clears
What will be left for us but tears and pain
Why must we argue over the same things
Just to make up and go back again
It's never too late
But it's been too long
Can't get it right when no one thinks they're wrong
When no on thinks they're wrong
Gotta get out of bed
And take a look at what's going on

Martin L. Gore at his finest, in my humble opinion:

Depeche-Mode - When The Body Speaks Lyrics


To the soul’s desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned

What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow

I’m just an angel
Driving blindly
Through this world

I’m just a slave here
At the mercy
Of a girl

Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much

To the soul’s desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned

What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow

You keep me waiting
For the promise
That is mine

Please stop debating
Please stop wasting
Your time

Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much

What It's Like To Be Me by Kellie Coffey

I already know,I already see
You've already given away the big secret you keep
It's that smile unmistakable smile
That you try but can't hide
Now you know

What it's like to be me
You've fallen you're stallin your back's to the wall
You're afraid to come clean
Now you know what it's like to be me

Look into my eyes baby can't see
I only get a couple of hours of sleep between dreams
About you,yeah,they're always 'bout you
I can tell your surprised
Now you know

What it's like to be me
You've fallen you're stallin your back's to the wall
You're afraid to come clean
Now you know what it's like to be me

You're afraid to tell me,afraid I might
Not feel the same you think I don't know what it's like
But that's just it

What it's like to be me
You've fallen you're stallin your back's to the wall
You're afraid to come clean
Now you know what it's like to be me

Free Love- Depeche Mode


If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love

If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of

And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

I've been running like you
I've been running like you

Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared

I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No I haven't been getting anywhere

And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

Hey girl
You've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away

Let go complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay

We've been running for love
We've been running for love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No we don't know what we're doing here

And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

Whiskey Lullaby: Brad Paisley & Allison Krauss
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
Chorus: 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 lullaby.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la etc...
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 lullaby
la-la-la-la-la-la-la etc...

The Last Thing She Said: Rachel Proctor
When she opened up her eyes, she was blinded by the lights
And everything was flashing red and blue.
She heard "Do you know where you are?" as they pulled her from her car
She saw the helicopter and she knew.
It must be really bad. And as they lifted off the ground, the only thing she could think about
Chorus: Was the last thing she said to her husband that morning
And the look on his face when she slammed the door
And the way she drove off without one ounce of regret
And knowing I love you was not the last thing she said.
Verse II: She tried to stay awake long enough to see his face
And wishing she could take the whole day back.
She kept asking where he is and "Am I gonna live?"
as the voices in her room faded fast.
And as she drifted off, they tried to calm her down
But all the time, all she talked about
Repeat chorus
Bridge: He was waitin' in the hall just staring at the wall
when he finally saw the doctor walk his way.
Oh he was scared to death. Just holdin' his breath
Right up until he heard the doctor say "She'll be okay. And right now she needs her rest. But she wanted me to tell you she's sorry. And "I love you" was the last thing she said.
This song makes me :bawl every time I hear it. It makes you realize that you cannot let a day go by without telling those you care for how much you love them.

nilesgirl, The Last Thing She Said is actually sung by newcomer Ryan Tyler. It is her debut single. The only Rachel Proctor song that has been released so far is Me & Emily.

Oh, and I love whiskey lullaby. One of my favorites! :up

You're right. My bad.

Okay, every country fan should know this one.
"Live Like You Were Dying" Tim McGraw
He said "I was in my early 40's with a lot of life before me when a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays. Talkin' 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time." I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end? How's it hit you when you get that kind of news? Man what'd you do?
And he said "I went sky diving. I wnet rocky mountain climbing. I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu. And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'." And he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying.
He said "I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't. And I became the friend a friend would like to have. And all of a sudden going fishin' wasn't such an imposition. And I went 3 times that year I lost my dad. I finally read the good book and I took a good long hard look at what I'd do if I could do it all again. And then
I went sky-diving. I went rocky mountain climbing. I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu. And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying. And he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying.
Like tomorrow was a gift. And you had eternity to think about what to do with it. What would you do with it? What did you do with it? What did I do with it?
Sky-diving. I went rocky mountain climbing. I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu. And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I watched an eagle as he was flying. And he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying. To live like you were dying. To live like you were dying......etc

From the Ashes by Martina McBride

My right hand holds matches,
my left holds my past,
I hope the wind catches,
and burns it down fast,
I'm gonna step into the fire,
with my failures and my shame,
and wave good-bye to yesterday,
as I dance among the flames,

so don't try to save me now,
let the walls of my world all burn down,
just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes,
and I will rise,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,

for all that i'm losing, much more will i gain,
the hard part is choosing,
to change what needs changed,
and my step will be much lighter,
with these demons off my chest,
I'm born a better spirit,
and lay the old to rest

so don't try to save me now,
let the walls of my world all burn down,
just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes,
and i will rise
from the ashes,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,

and i'll walk away stronger,
I will be flyin,
higher and truer
than i've flown before,

my right hand holds matches,
my left holds my past,
i hope the wind catches,
and burns it down fast.
