Never Gonna Give You Up

Not really connected in any way to my post from earlier in the day, but it's been running through my head most of the day... and words cannot described how vehemently I hate this song...



We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

CHORUS
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

(CHORUS)
CHORUS CHORUS
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give
(give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give
(give you up)
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
(CHORUS)

Let Me Fall

I wonder how many people would truly grieve if I went to sleep tonight and never woke up again...
My moods have been mercurial, at best, the past few months. And as soon as I determine to see the so-called "silver lining," someone has to point out all the damned storm clouds. I can't be mad at them; they're concerned and they are trying to look out for my well-being. But I can only deal with one cloud at a time, and I'm just not mentally equipped to deal with Hurricane Ike all at once.


Let me fall
Let me climb
There's a moment when fear and dream must collide
Someone I am I waiting for courage
The one I want, the one I will become will catch me
So let me fall, if I must fall
I won't heed your warnings
I won't hear them.

Let me fall,
If I fall
though the Phoenix may or may not rise
I will dance so freely
Holding on to no one.
You can hold me only if you too will fall away
from all these useless fears and shame.

Oh, someone I am is waiting for courage
The one I want, the one I will become will catch me
So let me fall, if I must fall
I won't heed your warnings.
I won't hear.

Let me fall,
If I fall
There's no reason
To miss this one chance
This perfect moment.
Just let me fall.

~Let Me Fall (from Cirque Du Soleil)

I Don't Wanna Fight

I'm tired. Tina Turner tonight, all the way.


I Don't Wanna Fight - Tina Turner

THERE'S A PALE MOON IN THE SKY
THE KIND YOU MAKE YOUR WISHES ON
LIKE THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES
THE ONE I BUILD MY DREAMS UPON
IT'S NOT HERE ANY LONGER
SOMETHING HAPPENED SOMEWHERE AND WE BOTH KNOW WHY
BUT ME I'M GETTING STRONGER
WE MUST STOP PRETENDING
I CAN'T LIVE THIS LIE

I DON'T CARE WHO'S WRONG OR RIGHT
I DON'T REALLY WANNA FIGHT NO MORE
TOO MUCH TALKING BABE
LET'S SLEEP ON IT TONIGHT
I DON'T REALLY WANNA FIGHT NO MORE
THIS IS TIME FOR LETTING GO

I HEAR A WHISPER IN THE AIR
THAT SIMPLY DOESN'T BOTHER ME
BOY, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I DON'T CARE
OR ARE YOU LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH ME
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT LATELY (SEEMS TO ME THAT LATELY)
YOU LOOK AT ME THE WRONG WAY AND I START TO CRY
COULD IT BE THAT MAYBE (COULD IT BE THAT MAYBE)
THIS CRAZY SITUATION IS THE REASON WHY

I DON'T CARE WHO'S WRONG OR RIGHT
I DON'T REALLY WANNA FIGHT NO MORE
TOO MUCH TALKING BABE
DON'T CARE NOW WHO'S TO BLAME
I DON'T REALLY WANNA FIGHT NO MORE
THIS IS TIME FOR LETTING GO

HANGING ON TO THE PAST
IT ONLY STANDS IN OUR WAY
WE HAVE TO GROW FOR OUR LOVE TO LAST
BUT WE JUST GREW APART

OH DON'T WANNA HURT NO MORE
BUT BABY DON'T YOU KNOW
NO, I DON'T WANNA HURT NO MORE...
TIRED OF ALL THESE GAMES
THIS TIME I'M WALKING BABE

Broken Vow

Was wondering what kind of song would fit my rather down-trodden mood of the last few days.. and i just so happened that when I turned on Yahoo's Launchcast radio, it was playing one of my favorite Josh Groban songs, Broken Vow
As I am a girl, for the lyrics, I went with Lara Fabian's version, rather than Josh Groban.


Broken Vow, as sung by Lara Fabian

Tell me her name I want to know
The way she looks and where you go
I need to see her face, I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Tell me again I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night while I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own?

I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I've found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch, that one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time?

I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I've found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

I close my eyes
And dream of you, and then I realize
The more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
I'd give away my soul to hold you once again
And never let this promise end

I'll let you go,
I'll let you fly
Now that I know, I'm asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I've found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
