Songs that touch me

[Serena Serenity]

I don't know if someone has posted this as I haven't looked to the new ones yet, but here we go.

"Scars-Papa Roach"

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

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 tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself

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 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
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

"Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)-Vertical Horizon"

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever

Oh my word I love that song. Grey Sky Morning, I have always liked vertical horizon, such a 90's vibe, but I love the 90s lol. It's great!

*runs off and sings that song to herself*

[Serena Serenity]

*giggles* I love them too. But here is another song for the collection.

Something To Be Proud Of-Montgomery Gentry

There's a story that my daddy tells religiously
Like clockwork everytime he see's an opening
In a conversation
'Bout the way things use to be

I just roll my eyes and make a B-line for the door
I'd always end up starry-eyed and cross-legged on the floor
Hangin' onto every word
Man, the things I heard

"It was harder times and longer days
Five miles to school uphill both ways
We were cane-switched raised and dirt-floor poor
Course that was back before the war

Yea your uncle and I made quite a pair
Flyin F-15's through hostile air
He went down but they missed me by a hair"
He'd always stop right there and say:

"That's something to be proud of
That's a life you can hang your hat on
That's a chins held high as the tears fall down
Gut sucked in, chest stuck out
Like a small town flag a-flyin
Or a newborn baby cryin
In the arms of the woman that you love
That's something to be proud of"

Son graduatin' college, that was Momma's dream
But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned eighteen
That's when you got a fast car, and think you got everything

I learned real quick those GTO's don't run on faith
I ended up broken down in some town north of L.A.
Working maximum hours, for minimum wage

I fell in love next thing I know
Babies came and the car got sold
Sure do miss that old Hot Rod
But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs
Dad I wonder if I ever let you down
If you're ashamed how I turned out,
Well he lowered his voice, then he raised his brow
Said, "Let me tell you right now

That's something to be proud of
That's a life you can hang your hat on
You don't need to make a million, just be thankful to be workin'
If you're doin' what you're able
Puttin' food there on the table
And providing for the family that you love
That's something to be proud of"

And if all you ever really do is the best you can
Well you did it man

"That's something to be proud of
That's a life you can hang your hat on
That's a chins held high as the tears fall down
Gut sucked in, chest stuck out
Like a small town flag a-flyin
Or a newborn baby cryin
In the arms of the woman that you love
That's something to be proud of"

That's something to be proud of
That's something to be proud of
That's something to be proud of
Now that's something to be proud of

Somebody's Hero-Jamie O'Neal

She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,
No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee
A little kiss is all she needs
The keeper of the cheerios
The voice that brings Snow White to life
Bedtime stories every night
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver
But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver
For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition
But now her baby's movin' on, and she'll soon be missin' her
But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down her face

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress
She gave her wings to leave the nest
It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle she walks right by
Looks back into her mother's eyes
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

Thirty years have flown right past
Her daughters' starin' at all the photographs
Of her mother, and she wishes she could be like that
Oh, but she already is

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair
She runs a brush through her silver hair
The envy of the nursing home
She drops by every afternoon
Feeds her mama with a spoon
And that smile lets her know
Her mother's smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

Broken Wing-Martina McBride

She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave hime everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up to 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 morning
She didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the 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
