If some of the songs I post have already been posted, then all the better, but I will post songs that I like/have good lyrics/or have some sort of special meaning to me.
You
the words have been drained from this pencil, Sweet words that i want to give you. And I can't sleep, I need to tell you goodnight. When we're together I feel happy. When you're pulled away from me I fall apart All you say is sacred to me. Your eyes are so blue I can't look away As we lay in the stillness you whisper to me... "Amy, marry me? Promise you'll stay with me?" Oh you don't have to ask me you know your all that I live for. You know I'd die just to hold you, Stay with you. Somehow I'll show you That you are my night sky. I've always been right behind you. Now I'll always be right beside you.
So many nights I've cried myself to sleep. Now that you love me I love myself. I never thought I would say that. I never thought there'd be...you.
~Evanescence
The chances of you ever seeing these lyrics or hearing the song is very slim, seeing as they have asked all lyrics sites not to post them and they request that the song stop circulating because it is such a personal song. So I might be a bad person for posting it...but those lyrics are so powerful and hold so much meaning for me that i just had to post them for you all to see.

Everlong
Hello, I've waited here for you... Everlong. Tonight, I've thrown myself into, And out of the red, out of her head she sang.
Come down and waste away with me, down with me... Slow how, you wanted it to be, I'm over my head, out of her head she sang.
And I wonder when I sing along with you, If everything could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good again, The only thing I'll ever ask of you. You gotta promise not to stop when I say when. She sang.
Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, Hold you in, and now, I know you've always been Out of your head, out of my head I sang.
And I wonder when I sing along with you, If everything could ever feel this real forever, If anything could ever be this good again. The only thing I'll ever ask of you, You gotta promise not to stop when I say when. She sang.
And I wonder, If everything could ever feel this real forever, If anything could ever be this good again. The only thing I'll ever ask of you, You gotta promise not to stop when I say when.

Coin-Operated Boy
coin-operated boy sitting on the shelf he is just a toy but i turn him on and he comes to life automatic joy that is why a want a coin-operated boy
made of plastic and elastic he is rugged and long lasting who could ever, ever ask for more? love without complications galore many shapes and weights to choose from i will never leave my bedroom i will never cry at night again wrap my arms around him and pretend
coin-operated boy all the other real ones that i destroy cannot hold a candle to my new boy and i'll never let him go and i'll never be alone and i'll never let him go and i'll never be alone go, and i'll never be alone go, and i'll never be alone go, and i'll never be alone go, and i'll never be alone not with my coin-operated boy
this bridge was written to make you feel smittener with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer can you extract me from my plastic fantasy? i didn't think so but i'm still convinceable will you persist that after i bet you a billion dollars that i'll never love you? and will you persist that after i kiss you good-bye for the last time will you keep on trying to prove it i'm dying to lose it i'm losing my confidence i want it, i want it, i want it, i want it, i want to, i want to, i want to, i want to, i want you, i want you, i want you, i want you,
i want a, i want a, i want a, i want a coin-operated boy
and if i had a star to wish on for my life i can't imagine any flesh and blood could be his match i can even take him in the bath coin-operated boy he may not be real experienced with girls but i know he feels like a boy should feel isn't that the point? that is why i want a coin-operated boy with a pretty coin-operated voice saying that he loves me that he's thinking of me straight and to the point that is why i want a coin-operated boy

Lover I Don't Have to Love
I picked you out Of a crowd and talked to you. Said I liked your shoes, You said, "Thanks, Can I follow you?"
So it's up the stairs, And out of view. No prying eyes. I poured some wine. I asked your name; You asked the time.
Now it's two o'clock. The club is closed, We are up the block. Your hands are on me, Pressing hard against your jeans, Your tongue in my mouth, Trying to keep the words from coming out, You didn't care to know Who else may have been you before.
I want a lover I don't have to love, I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck. Where's the kid with the chemicals? I thought he said to meet him here, But I'm not sure. I've got the money If you've got the time. You said, "It feels good." I said "I'll give it a try."
Then my mind went dark, We both forgot where your car was parked. Let's just take the train. I'll meet up with the band in the morning
Bad actors, with bad habits... Some sad singers, they just play tragic. And the phone is ringing, And the van is leaving Let's just keep touching, Let's just keep...keep singing
I want a lover I don't have to love, I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk. Where's the kid with the chemicals? I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full. I need some meaning I can memorize. The kind I have always seems to slip my mind.
But you, but you...
You write such pretty words, But life's no storybook. Love's an excuse to get hurt. And to hurt. Do you like to hurt? I do, I do. Then hurt me, Then hurt me, Then hurt me...
~Bright Eyes

For Good
I'm limited (Just look at me) I'm limited And just look at you You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda So now it's up to you (For both of us) Now it's up to you...
I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you
Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good
It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a sky bird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the thing I've done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood
Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
Who can say if I've been Changed for the better? I do believe I have been Changed for the better
And because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
Because I knew you... I have been changed for good.
~Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth (2003 broadway cast of Wicked)
