No Other Love- Heart

I heard you that night,
when you whispered my name and waited for some type of response.
I was so lost in the illusion of ‘love’
that my heart wouldn’t let my voice whisper back.

We laid still that night,
when we should have opened our hearts.
This damn illusion of ‘love’ lasting forever
stopped any kind of..I love yous.. from leaving this broken heart.

The Promise- Tracy Chapman

Your finger tips press against my skin
just hard enough for my mind to take this a different direction.
This horrible decision was worth making because of that response.
Timing can be so cruel
if I could have cut that moment out and pasted it years before
I’d be shedding more smiles than tears.

Almost Lover- A Fine Frenzy

I would have told her to stop
if she made the move, she never made

but not right away, I would have let our lips touch just long enough
for it to be called anything but a decent kiss

and when she would ask why
in a seductive –I don’t want to stop- kind of way
I would have told her…
it’s just another memory to think of
on the lonely highways back home
and we’ve made enough of those
so lets leave well enough alone..

I Cant Take It- Tegan and Sara

 This is about the time

I slam on the breaks

And put this heart in reverse.

But the rhythm is off anyway

So I’ll ignore it and set the cruise

what’s a few more empty miles

Open Your Eyes

I’m just the thrill of the chase

and you’re just the thrill of a kiss

so take your lost self and get far, far away

away from my head.. away from my heart

run as fast as you can.. before I catch up

…out of breath and wordless yet again

Cheated hearts- yeah yeah yeahs

I miss falling asleep on your chest
I miss calling you mine- I used to take such pride in it
I miss feeling secure in a relationship
…a relationship that was anything but secure

she changed my life
I changed hers
and I probably didn’t even alter yours.

Save You- Simple Plan

The sound of her voice changed as she spoke that two syllable word
All I could do was shake my head.
You see, my heart isn’t ready to let her go
I’m not ready to face struggles in life without her
She can’t walk with you just yet- I’m still needing that hand.
So give me a turn, let it pour on me for awhile
She’s been through enough already.

And Then You- Greg Laswell

Stop making my heart beat so fast

 …And can you tell me to breathe?

 I seem to forget that simple task when I’m around you

 Maybe you could even back up a little

Just enough to stop my lips from reaching yours

As long as we’re at it, stop looking into my eyes

Because that’s the worst fall of all…

Ask Me How I Am- Snow Patrol

Tonight we’ll lay here as lovers

But when the sun comes up, we’ll awake as friends

I should be used to this by now

But your kiss tells me otherwise

So i’ll hold your body

As you shake in my arms

And seduce me with your whispers

….I wish this was just another one of my dreams

I’m tired of your fake lines

I dont need to know how good my skin feels against yours

I’m tired of your new outlook on life

It’s beyond hypocritical

Your eyes seemed so cold and empty as you spoke of my faults.

But your words didnt hurt as much as the look in your eye

You banned me from leaving my scent on your sheets

So i left my tears on your pillow

and with memories i’d rather forget…
