Which song line(s) describes you today?

...

I want a new drug
One that won't hurt my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red

One that won't make me nervous
Wonderin' what to do

I want a new drug
One that won't go away
One that won't keep me up all night
One that won't make me sleep all day

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won't make me feel too bad
One that won't make me feel too good

I want a new drug
One with no doubt

And boys are so cold they speak without meaning.
The only time they talk is in their sleep.
And girls are a bore.
They touch without feeling.
Their secrets always far too grim to keep.
And up until now, you've lived in their shadows trying hard to please them.
But they'll never change as long as they're breathing.

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme.
To those of us who've never tried
to find a face behind our lipstick smiles.
And as our pretty faces die our broken hearts will wonder why
the makeup just won't hide the scars all the time.

And boys are so cruel so don't let them find you tonight.
And girls are so vain so put them behind you tonight.
I'll cast you a spell a magic where everyone plays dead forever.
And after tonight they'll never remind you.

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme.
To those of us who've never tried
to find a face behind our lipstick smiles.
And as our pretty faces die our broken hearts will wonder why
the makeup just won't hide the scars all the time.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it . I love their music so much, it's really dreamy and surreal.

Anyway, here is another one that fits my mood perfectly today...

And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling
I am fading
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame that I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
And you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling
I am fading
I am drowning, help me to breathe
I am hurting
I have lost it all
I am losing, help me to breathe

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go

You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day, the camera don't lie

Bad Day - Daniel Powter

Forever Young

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

"you know that i would now, if only i could"

Jack Johnson- If i could

You tried so hard to understand them
You wanted to be part of what was happening
You saw them having fun
And it seemed like such a mystery
Almost magic

Made you think that there was something wrong with you
You'd look in the mirror and try to find it
You thought that you were ugly
And that everyone was looking at you

So you learned to be invisible
To look down
To avoid conversation

Yeah, I think I know you

You spent a lot of time full of hate
A hate that was pure sunshine
A hate that saw for miles
A hate that kept you up at night
A hate that filled your every waking moment
A hate that carried you for a long time

Home was not home
Your room was home
A corner was home
The place they weren't, that was home

I know you

You're sensitive and you hide it because you fear
getting stepped on one more time
It seems that when you show a part of yourself that is
the least bit vulnerable someone takes advantage of you
One of them steps on you

They mistake kindliness for weakness
But you know the difference
You've been the brunt of their weakness for years
And strength is something you know a bit about because
you had to be strong to keep yourself alive

You know yourself very well now
And you don't trust people
You know them too well
