This Page is a sign of the Agony I know
Welcome to the words that break my heart...
The following are the lyrics of the songs that someone sent to me on a homemade audio tape. It does not matter who sings them or what the titles of the songs are, because it is the words that cry out for justice. I am not monitarily benefitting from the lyrics, and I understand the copyrights. I can provide information for each of the lyrics, if someone is being a pissant. What do I mean by "cry out for justice"? Simply that I once listened to the tape and cried, for the artists were no longer singing...but the one that sent me the tape was. I had believed that the words came from that person, and were true. I no longer listen to that tape, for though the words are the same, the person that sent them..............well......................
After some thought, I just decided to throw the lyrics altogether on the page. The songs need not stop and start, and really, even punctuation is irrelevant. Just read these, then, and ask yourself what you would do if you were given these words from someone, pretend that you don't know they are songs (some popular, others not) as if you were hearing these words from someone for the first time.
Tomorrow used to be a day away Now love is gone and you're into someone far away I never thought the day would come When I would see his hand not mine Holding on to yours because I could not Find the time And now I can't deny Nothing lasts forever But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes I dont wanna live to see the day we say goodbye Now there comes another part of life I call alone Sitting at a bar with Chris that I can't leave cause my house ain't no home no I just wanna touch you girl I wanna feel you close to me Without your love I would give up now And walk away so easily So mabey while were young We'll figure out together That even with the pain there's a remedy and We'll be alright I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye, Oh When I first me you I couldn't love anyone But you stole my dreams and you made me see that I can walk into the sun and I could still be me And now I can't deny Nothing lasts forever But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes So baby why break up Lets figure out together That even with the pain there's a remedy, and We'll be alright I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye We say goodbye Oh goodbye Goodbye There's a letter on the desk top I dug out of a drawer The last truce we ever came to in our adolescent war And I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen You come regular like seasons, freely through my dreams And the Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota At a place that you could walk across with five steps down And I guess that's how you started, like a pinprick to my heart At this point you rush right through me and I start to drown And there's not enough room in this world for my pain Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain Of all my demon spirits I need you the most I'm in love with your ghost - I'm in love with your ghost Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush You kiss me like a lover; then you sting me like a viper I go follow to the river; play your memory like a piper And I feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me I walk into the fingers of your fire willingly We dance the edge of sanity; I've never been this close I'm in love with your ghost Unknowing captor, you never know how much you pierce my spirit But I can't touch you - can you hear it - the cry to be free? I'm forever under lock and key For you pass through me When I see your face before me I would launch a thousand ships To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips As I burn up in your presence and I know now how it feels To be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels This bitter pill I swallow is the silence that I keep It poisons me; I can't swim free; the river is too deep I'm baptized by your touch I am no worse than most I'm in love with your ghost. Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye. Remember me ev'ry so often, promise me you'll try. On that day, that not so distant day, when you are far away and free, if you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me. And though it's clear, though it was always clear that this was never meant to be, if you happen to remember, stop and think of me. Think of August when the trees were green; don't think about the way things might have been. Think of me, think of me waking silent and resigned. Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind. Think of me please say you'll think of me whatever else you choose to do. There will never be a day when I won't think of you. Can it be, can it be Christine? Long ago, it seems so long ago, how young and innocent we were. She may not remember me but I remember her. Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade, they have their season so do we... but please promise me that sometimes you will think ah... of me! Like a desert needs rain Like a town needs a name I need your love Like a drifter needs a room Hawkmoon I need your love I need your love Like a rhythm unbroken Like drums in the night Like sweet soul music Like sunlight I need your love Like coming home And you don't know where you've been Like black coffee Like nicotine I need your love (I need your love) I need your love (I need your love) I need your love (I need your love) When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love I need your love Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy I need your love Like the hot needs the sun Like honey on her tongue Like the muzzle of a gun Like oxygen I need your love (I need your love) I need your love (I need your love) I need your love (I need your love) When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love I need your love... [Repeat 9 times] Like thunder needs rain Like a preacher needs pain Like tongues of flame Like a sheet stained I need your love I need your love Like a needle needs a vein Like someone to blame Like a thought unchained Like a runaway train I need your love I need your love... [Repeat 7 times] Like faith needs a doubt Like a freeway out I need your love Like powder needs a spark Like lies need the dark I need your love In the heart of the heat of the love In the heart of the heat of the love... [Repeat until end] You say you want Diamonds on a ring of gold You say you want Your story to remain untold But all the promises we make From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you'll give me A highway with no one on it Treasure just to look upon it All the riches in the night You say you'll give me Eyes in a moon of blindness A river in a time of dryness A harbour in the tempest But all the promises we make From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you want Your love to work out right To last with me through the night You say you want Diamonds on a ring of gold Your story to remain untold Your love not to grow cold All the promises we break From the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You...all I want is... You...all I want is... You...all I want is... You... This romeo is bleeding But you can't see his blood It's nothing but some feelings That this old dog kicked up It's been raining since you left me Now I'm drowning in the flood You see I've always been a fighter But without you I give up Now I can't sing a love song Like the way it's meant to be Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore But baby, that's just me And I will love you, baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always I'll be there till the stars don't shine Till the heavens burst and The words don't rhyme And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind And I'll love you - Always Now your pictures that you left behind Are just memories of a different life Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry One that made you have to say goodbye What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair To touch your lips, to hold you near When you say your prayers try to understand I've made mistakes, I'm just a man When he holds you close, when he pulls you near When he says the words you've been needing to hear I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine To say to you till the end of time Yeah, I will love you baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always If you told me to cry for you I could If you told me to die for you I would Take a look at my face There's no price I won't pay To say these words to you Well, there ain't no luck In these loaded dice But baby if you give me just one more try We can pack up our old dreams And our old lives We'll find a place where the sun still shines And I will love you, baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always I'll be there till the stars don't shine Till the heavens burst and The words don't rhyme And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind And I'll love you - Always You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home You can say it's all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside I see it in your eyes Even you face the night afraid and alone That's why I'll be there When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes If that's what it takes You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain When your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name 'Cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above You've given me your love When your smile like the sun that shines through the pain That's why I'll be there When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break Till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed I will lay down my life, if that's what you need Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul I will hold on all night and never let go Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes If that's what it takes Every day If that's what it takes Every day
