"I tried to help you once/ Against my own advice/ I saw you going down/ But you never realized/ That you're drowning in the water/ So I offered you my hand/ Compassions in my nature/ Tonight is our last stand/... I can't help you fix yourself/ But at least I can say I tried/ I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life / I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut/ My weakness is that I care too much/ My scars remind me that the past is real/ I tear my heart open just to feel." -Papa Roach (Scars)
" So their eyes are growing hazy 'cos they wanna turn it on,/ so their minds are soft and lazy./ Well, hey, give 'em what they want./ If lust and hate is the candy,/ if blood and love tastes so sweet,/ then we give 'em what they want." -10,000 Maniacs (Candy Everybody Wants)
" Adia I'm empty since you left me/trying to find a way to carry on/I search myself and /everyone to see where we went wrong/ 'cause there's no one left to finger/there's no one here to blame/there's no one left to talk to honey/and there ain't no one to buy our innocence/ 'cause we are born innocent/believe me Adia, we are still innocent/ it's easy, we all falter/does it matter?" -Sarah McLachlan (Adia)
" I was Cryin' when I met you/Now I'm tryin' to forget you/Your love is sweet misery/I was Cryin' just to get you/Now I'm tryin' 'cause I let you/Do what you do down on me/Now there's not even breathing room/Between pleasure and pain/Yeah you cry when we're makin' love/Must be one and the same/" Aerosmith (Cryin')
" I think of you every morning/ Dream of you every night/ Darling, I'm never lonely/ Whenever you are in sight/ I love you for sentimental reasons/ I hope you do believe me/ I've given you my heart" Nat King Cole (Sentimental Reasons)
" I'm gonna love you,/ Like nobody's loved you/ Come rain or come shine/ High as a mountain, deep as a river/ Come rain or come shine/ I guess when you met me/ It was just one of those things/ But don't you ever bet me/ 'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me/ You're gonna love me,/ Like nobody's loved me/Come rain or come shine/ We'll be happy together, unhappy together/Now won't that be just fine/ The days may be cloudy or sunny/ We're in or out of the money/ But I'm with you always/ I'm with you rain or shine" - Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, (and a host of others)
About Me
- me
- Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
- Pablo Neruda Sonnet XVII (100 Love Sonnets, 1960) I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries hidden within itself the light of those flowers, and thanks to your love, darkly in my body lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close "Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. It's harsh, and cruel, but that's why there's us. It doesn't matter where we come from, or what we've done, or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world were as it should be, to show it what it can be." --Angel
