PLAIN WHITE T'S LYRICS
"Shine"
You know it tears me up inside
to see the feelings that you hide
Hide inside that empty bottle
I wish you saw how great you were
I wish you saw what life was worth
You wouldn't have to hide your problems
And I don't care what you might think
I think you've had too much to drink
Can't even talk when you're this way
Run away, run away
But that won't make it any better
Run away, run away
And make Tomorrow harder to live than today
There's so much out there you could miss
there's so much life out there to live
If you would just believe in yourself
You know you're better than all of this
you know you've got so much to give
But you're so afraid to give of yourself
There's a bright light shining inside you
it shines out through your eyes
Don't drown it away, don't be afraid, don't hide
Let it shine
You say you're looking for happiness
but when it comes, you run away from it
You tell yourself you don't deserve it
There's not much more that I can do now the rest is up to you
Until you love yourself, you'll never change
You'll keep on running
Until you deal with today
elliott smith- roman candle
He played himself
Didn't need me to give him hell
He could be cool and cruel to you and me
Knew we'd put up with anything
I want to hurt him
I want to give him pain
I'm a roman candle
My head is full of flames
I'm hallucinating
Hallucinating
I hear you cry
Your tears are cheap
Wet hot red swollen cheeks
Fall alseep
I want to hurt him
I want to give him pain
I'm a roman candle
My head is full of flames
I want to hurt him
I want to hurt him
I want to hurt him
I want to give him pain
And make him feel this pretty burn
Black Eyes Blue Tears- Shania Twian,
Black eyes, I don't need 'em
Blue tears, gimme freedom
Positively never goin' back
I won't live where things are so out of whack
No more rollin' with the punches
No more usin' or abusin'
I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please-no more
Black eyes-I don't need 'em
Blue tears-gimme freedom
Black eyes-all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now
Definitley found my self esteem
Finally-I'm forever free to dream
No more cryin' in the corner
No excuses-no more bruises
I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please-no more
Black eyes-I don't need 'em
Blue tears-gimme freedom
Black eyes-all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now
I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees, begging please...
Black eyes-I don't need 'em
Blue tears-gimme freedom
Black eyes-all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now
It's all behind me, they'll never find me now
Find your self-esteem and be forever free to dream
Broken Wing- Martina McBride
She loved like he was the last man on earth. gave him everything she
ever had.
He'd break her spirit down, then come lovin' up on her. give a
little, then
Take it back. she'd tell him about her dreams - he'd just shoot 'em
down. lord,
He loved to make her cry. "you're crazy for believin' you'll ever
leave the
Ground." he said "only angels know how to fly."
And with a broken wing, she still sings. she' keeps an eye on the
sky. with a
Broken wing, she carries her dreams. man, you ought to see her fly.
One sunday mornin', she didn't go to church. he wondered why she
didn't leave.
He went up to her bedroom, found a note by the window, with the
curtains
Blowin' in the breeze, and with a broken wing, she still sings. she
keeps an
Eye on the sky. with a broken wing, she carries her dreams. man, you
ought to
See her fly. with a broken wing, she carries her dreams. man, you
ought to see
Her fly. (with a broken wing oooooh)

Me and Emily- Rachel Proctor
Bridge over Troubled Water- Simon and Garfunkel
Please Don't Believe Me-Terry Sue Crawford
Verse 1
Jimmy's walking home from school talking with his friend
But when they get to Jimmy's house he cant invite him in
Jimmy says his mom's not well and tells his friend good-bye
He keeps a secret as he slowly walks inside
Cause Mom's been drinking and right now she doesn't care
About this awful burden her child must bear, he's begging
Chorus
Please don't believe me when I say I'm ok
Look a little deeper for the words that I can't say
I'm too small to stand alone, I sure could use a friend
Help me learn to trust someone again
Don't leave me
Please dont believe me
Verse 2
There's a house that's dark and quiet where little Amy sleeps
There's footsteps in the bedroom where someone shouldn't be
Somebody whispers I'll hurt you if you tell
Amy keeps the secret and blames it on herself, her smile is just a
shell
Chorus
Bridge
Oh the years fly by for the ones who survive
Till they look like grown ups, and nobody hears them
Nobody hears them cry
chorus
Angel- Martina McBride
Sleep- Stabbing Westward
She's beem here so many times
Before she can't remember
When she last felt anything at all
But this fear and anger
She states intently at the door,
Listens for his footsteps
She knows exactly what's in store
And the knowing makes it worse
When he calls her daddy's little girl,
She doesn't keep him
And when he crushed her
She can't feel her screems are silent
Hides in the corner of her mind
Where she plays contentedly
She leaves this night more far behind
Escapes inside her dreams
Floating high above her bed
Staring at her father's head
Wishing one of them were dead
So this hell could finally end
Dear Mr.Jesus
Drake Bell- "Somehow"
She stares at the moon
Her ribbons out of tune
Memories of the past
At the botSweetie of her glass
And resting on her cheek
The imprint of his ring
A symbol of the weak
Commissioned by the king
Did he tie you down?
Did you make a sound?
[Chorus]
She falls to her knees
Screaming God please
Make something of me
Cause I never wanted anything like what I wanna be right now
An angel again
An angel again somehow
She remembers his old boots
And the shotgun that he shoots
And all she could take
Lies at the botSweetie of a lake
So lift your cig and drag
As you figure out a plan
To hide it all away
How could she ever love this man
Did you weigh him down?
Did he make a sound?
[Chorus]
And when you carry weight in your life (life)
And all the plans you make in your life (life)
The original decision was right
[Chorus]
Did he tie you down?
Did you make a sound?
Did he weigh you down?
Did he make a sound?
Independence Day--Martina McBride
The 11th Commandment--Collin Raye
She hears his heavy breathing in the dark,
his footsteps coming closer down the hall.
She's so ashamed, she's daddy's secret love.
She wants to cry, she wants to die,
but he can't get enough.
The bruises on his face will go away,
mom keeps him home from school till they fade.
She's sorry he was born and tells him so.
He takes it in, he hanges his chin,
he ducks another blow.
Did God overlook it?
What ought have been written,
the Eleventh Commandment;
Honor Thy Children.
He cries for hours, cries and never stops.
He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks.
He'll never have the chance to be brand new,
he'll never walk, he'll never talk,
he's addicted too.
Did God overlook it?
What ought have been written,
the Eleventh Commandment;
Honor Thy Children.
Thou Shalt Not Kill;
Thou Shalt Not Steal;
Thou Shalt Not Take the Lords Name in Vain;
Thou Shalt Not Cause Thy Children Pain.
God does not overlook it.
What ought have been written.
The Eleventh Commandment;
Honor Thy Children.
Honor Thy Children.

Keep on Livin'-Le tigre
You hide inside, so not okay
(keep on, keep on livin')
What if you remember more today?
(Keep on, keep on livin')
The phone rings but there's too much to say
(keep on, keep on livin')
You tell them to go when you wish they would stay
(keep on, keep on livin')
You gotta keep on (keep on livin')...
Disproportionate reactions just won't fade
(keep on, keep on livin')
Every dude you see puts you in a rage
(keep on, keep on livin')
Or stupid shit keeps making you cry
(keep on, keep on livin')
Your friends are worried you won't tell them why
(keep on, keep on livin')
You gotta keep on (keep on livin!)...
Look up to the sky sky sky.
Take back your own tonight.
You'll find more than you see.
It's time now now get ready.
So you can taste that sweet sweet cake
And feel the warm water in a lake (y'know).
What about that nice cool breeze?
And hear the buzzing of the bumble bees.
Just live beyond those neighborhood lives
And go past the yard outside
And push through your greatest fears
And live past your memories ters
Cuz you don't need to scratch inside.
Just please hold onto your pride and...
So don't let them bring you down
And don't let them fuck you around cuz those are you arms,
That is your heat and no no they can't tear you apart.
They can't take it away, no!
This is your time this is your life and...
(keep on livin!)...
