Alone again.... naturally
yup
thats me....... :shrug:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_P-v1BVQn8


In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower,
And climbing to the top,
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when your shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people 're saying,
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
No point in us remaining.
May as well go home."
As I did on my own,
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down,
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt,
All about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed,
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that
There are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

(instrumental break)

Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally




how do you feel right now???


in song please :*

2. This
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xGtt2msUVo

(couldn't find the lyrics written anywhere and it's a fun song from 1981... entitled "Nobody", and is not a rickroll.)

6. Edwin - Alive
Edited on Mon Feb-23-09 07:12 PM by Swede

Alive
It feels so good to breathe the air
Another spin around the sun
On this spec of life in the universe
the gift of love is there for everyone

Angels working overtime
day or night to hold the hands that play all alone
a baby`s born pure to the world as the old man lays down his hand
and closes his eyes with nothing said

every year another promise is made
a pint of beer raised towards a better day
lets find a star a star to call our own
and make the wish maybe we can`t make it home

ain`t it good to be alive
to feel the sun strong against your face
strawberry blond waves of silky hair
spills over me like the milky way

ain`t it good to be alive
ain`t it good to be alive
alive alive
alive alive

ain`t it good to breathe the air
another spin around the sun
on this spec of light in the universe
a little peace of love in everyone

ain`t it good to be alive
ain`t it good to be alive
to feel the sun strong against your face
spills over me like the milky way
alive alive alive alive alive

8. Nothing like Mazzy Star for when I feel down.
Open the windows and let the breeze move:)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H88g_Eew4PY&feature=related

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around broken in two
till you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
till my hand shook with the way I fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust

10. A childhood friend
Played that song over and over and over on his battery-powered portable 45 record player the summer of the year that song came out, and "naturally" I did not want to ever hear it again.

That and a few others, like "Time Passages" "Wildfire" "You Light Up My Life" "Don't It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue" "Bette Davis Eyes" "Philadelphia Freedom" "Car Wash" "Lovin' You" "Torn Between Two Lovers" "Mandy" ect...



:crazy:

12. A good one
I used to absolutely LOVE that song when I was a kid! Nice to finally read the lyrics.

We all are alone...it's the natural state of being human.

13. hmm
http://www.mtvmusic.com/hill_faith/videos/34013/cry.jhtml

Its actually a really powerful video.

Cry/Faith Hill

If I had just one tear
Running down your cheek
Maybe I could cope
Maybe I'd get some sleep
If I had just one moment at your exspense
Maybe all my misery
Would be well spent...yeaaaa

Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that your feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me

If your love could be caged, honey, I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt and those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine

And you'd cry a little
Die just a little
And baby I would feel just a little less pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me

Give it up baby
I hear your goodbye
Nothin's gonna save me
I see it in your eyes
Some kind of heartache
Darlin give it a try
I don't want pity
I just want what is mine

Yeah.. Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me


Cry just a little for me
Could you cry just a little for me?

14. I'm doing that these days, too.
Here's my song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBiGrHc0Xy4


Sara Bareilles - Gravity (Official Video)
Category: Romance and Relationships





http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBiGrHc0Xy4


I went looking for "Fairy Tale" and found "Gravity" instead. Break my heart, again.



Gravity lyrics

by Sara Bareilles




Something always brings me back to you.

It never takes too long.

No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.


You hold me without touch.

You keep me without chains.

I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.


CHORUS

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.

But you're on to me and all over me.


You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.

When I thought that I was strong.

But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.


CHORUS

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.

But you're on to me and all over me.


I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.

But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
