The 1975

"You used to have a face straight out of a magazine.Now you just look like anyone..."

The Cure

"Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more"

And, weirdly...

Miley Cyrus

"This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart..."

Now the woman in the front row, her face show no pain,
But her brain went insane on the day the news came,
Stare into space, face numb,
The boy getting carried, she carried 9 months

Akala

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up, when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm

I want to see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I want to see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

^^Paint it black really sums it up for when you are feeling massively down.

"I needed you, your face was kind,
I trusted you, my faith was blind,
And now I don't know who you are."

"I've been alone when I'm surrounded by friends - how could the silence be so loud?"

"They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar,
But then, they never shared our love."

"You may have my number, you can take my name,
But you'll never have my heart."

The whole of the Titanic theme (cliche I know)

I'm sure I'll think of more! I love these threads!

@Soola and it's on RockSmith!

Passenger - Rolling Stone

Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Falling fast and falling free
She said "My darling you're not falling,
Always looked like you were flying to me."

Again from the rolling stones
You can say we never tried

I don't believe in an interventionist god,
But I know darling that you do,
And if I did, I would kneel down and ask him,
Not to intervene when it came to you.
Oh not to touch a hair on your head, leave you as you are,
If he felt he had to direct you, then direct you into my arms,
Into my arms, oh lord, into my arms.

Nick Cave - Into my arms

Cant
Why does my phone do that

Radiohead, "Creep"

I want you to notice
When I'm not around
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?

@MrsRussell 😢

Say something, I’m giving up on you
I’m sorry that I couldn’t get to you

Song of my divorce. I remember the first time I heard it on the radio and it just fully resonated with me and how I was feeling about then DH.

"It's not a cry that you hear at night.
It's not someone who has seen the light.
It's a cold, and it's a broken,
Hallelujah."

Rise Up sung by Andre Day
The lyrics alone don't do it justice
But they are...
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousands times again
For you...

When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
We'll take it to its feet
And move mountains

And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you

All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
We will rise
We will rise
We'll rise, oh oh
We'll rise

I'll rise up
Rise like the day
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousands times again
And we'll rise up
Rise like the waves
We'll rise up
In spite of the ache
We'll rise up
And we'll do it a thousands times again
For you...

"I want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live"

Queens of the Stone age - go with the flow

@whatthewhatthewhat I'm an old goth.... when that came out the boy of my heart was into Nirvana and all that grunge stuff... I'd sit there in my torn lace and fishnets next to him in his checked shirt and ohhh I felt like a weirdo :-(

Im just a notch on your bedpost
And youre just a line in a song

Fall Out Boy

Palestine remains in my heart forever,
We stand for peace, in times of war we shan't surrender,
Remember, it didn't start in that dark December,
Every coin is a bullet, into Mark's and Spencer,
And when your sipping Coca-Cola,
That's another pistol in the holster of a soulless soldier,
You say you know about the Zionist lobby,
But you put money in their pocket when you're buying their coffee,
Talking about revolution, sitting in Starbucks,
The fact is that's the type of thinking I can't trust,
Let alone even start to respect,
Before you talk learn the meaning of that scarf on your neck,
Forget Nestle,
Obama promised Israel 30 billion over the next decade,
They're trigger happy and they're crazy,
Think about that when you're putting Huggies nappies on your baby,

It's a hard life
Better get ready
They give you loose gravel
and call it rock steady

Aaron Lee Tasjan

The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The further you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me, you can decide
To turn your face away
No matter 'cause there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
There's something inside so strong
Oh, something inside so strong
The more you refuse to hear my voice (ooh-weh ooh-weh ooh-weh ooh-weh)
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho (ooh-weh ooh-weh ooh-weh ooh-weh)
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time, you squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly it will blind you
Because there's

Something inside so strong Labi Siffre

*@Soola * One of my all time faves.

DH & I are ridiculously old but will still rock & roll round the kitchen to that song

“Daddy, he's got to go away
Cos there's just no other way to live this through
Someday you'll learn to understand
This wasn't what I planned for me and you
Sorry, love Daddy”

By Brian McFadden,

• written to/for his children on the break-up of his marriage.

I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this old heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart

Kodaline - All I Want

All I want is nothing more
To hear you knocking at my door
'Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die as a happy man I'm sure
When you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night
Alone without you by my side
But If you loved me
Why did you leave me

No, I don't know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searchin' for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm lookin' for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Ooh baby, ooh yeah
And I've made up my mind
Ooh baby, ain't wasting no more time
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
