Favorite lyrics from a song

[HanneSThEGreaT]

I wanted to quote Metallica - Am I Evil, but some might find it offensive

Here's one of my favourite songs of all time

I Don't Want A Lover

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you need me then
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love

This is one of the sadest songs ever, End of the World, Vonda Shephard (but probably a cover):

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev'rything's the same as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.

This is one of my favorites too: Meat Loaf's I would do anything for love

And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back,
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
- Oh no - no way - And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, No I won't do that,

And some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all,
And these are the days that never end.

And some nights you breathing fire,
And some nights your carved in ice,
Some nights your like nothing I've ever seen before, or will
again.

And maybe I?m crazy, Oh it's crazy and it's true,
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning,
As long as your dreams are coming true - You better believe it!
-

That I would do anything for love!
Oh I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, no I won't do that...

I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just won't do that...

I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just won't do...

And some days I pray for Silence,
And some days I pray for Soul,
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N'
Roll.

And Maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be,
There's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true - You better believe it!

That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and that's a fact,
I would do anything for love!
And there'll never be no turning back -

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you,
So long - So long - And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, No, No. No, I won't do that!

Girl : Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

Meat Loaf : I can do that! Ooh
I can do that!

Girl : Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot - hot?
Will you take me to places that I've never known?

Meat Loaf : I can do that! Ooh
I can do that!

Girl : I know the territory - I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down,
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around.

Meat Loaf: I won?t do that!
No I won't do that!

Anything for love,
But I won't do that!

This is one of my favorites too: Meat Loaf's I would do anything for love

I love that too.. The vocals on that song does magic to those words taking it to that next level. Great song

[cilu]

This is another favorite of mine, Queen's Too Much Love Will Kill You:

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.

[Miss Piggy]

This has been my all time fav....

Artist: Coco Lee Lyrics
Song: Before I Fall in Love Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
My heart says we've got something real
Can I trust the way I feel
'Cause my heart's been fooled before
Am I just seeing what to see
Or is it true, could you really be

[CHORUS]
Something to have and hold
With my heart and soul
I need to know, before I fall in love
Someone who'll stay around
Through all my ups and downs
Please tell me now, before I fall in love

[VERSE 2]
I'm at the point of on relum
So afraid of getting bumed
But I want to take a change
Please, give me a reason to believe
Say, that you're the one, that you'll always be

[CHORUS 2]
It's been so hard for me to give my heart away
But I would give my everything ,
Just to hear you say (you're)

[Satishpp]

I like this one

Pink Floyd - Breathe

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

[Notsosuperhero]

Ohhh I love Pink Floyd, they just got inducted into the U.K. Hall Of Fame.

This is one of my favorite Pink FLoyd songs, this and Echoes is a great song too.

Taking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have gone behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

(This part is actualy a Breathe extension called Breathe Reprise, I think)
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field
the tolling of the iron bell
calls the faithful to their knees
to hear the softly spoken magic spell

Sad but true - Metallica Black album

Hey
I’m your life
I’m the one who takes you there
Hey
I’m your life
I’m the one who cares
They
They betray
I’m your only true friend now
They
They’ll betray
I’m forever there

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true

I’m your dream, mind astray
I’m your eyes while you’re away
I’m your pain while you repay
You know it’s sad but true

You
You’re my mask
You’re my cover, my shelter
You
You’re my mask
You’re the one who’s blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you’re the one who’s shamed

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true

I’m your dream, mind astray
I’m your eyes while you’re away
I’m your pain while you repay
You know it’s sad but true

Hate
I’m your hate
I’m your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing’s fair

Hey
I’m your life
I’m the one who took you here
Hey
I’m your life
And I no longer care

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true

I’m your truth, telling lies
I’m your reasoned alibis
I’m inside open your eyes
I’m you

Sad but true

[Mike Harnad]

Alter Bridge...take your pick of two...

Open Your Eyes

Looking back I clearly see
What it is that’s killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all

Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can’t believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

I love the way I feel today
But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run
It’s hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Still today we carry on
I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
it’s hard to walk this path alone
hard to know which way to go
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
lost the faith and lost the love
when the day is done

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Find The Real

Stuck in the middle I burrow inside
Back to the cradle
Away from the burdens of all my crimes
Before it’s fatal
My past has found me the truth’s come out
All is remembered
With no place to fall but straight down
I must surrender

Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real

There’s a face I put on all my life
The face of an angel
But I look in the mirror only to find
The face of a stranger
And with all I’ve taken I hunger for more
Cause I’m selfish
And all I’m left with is a crown of thorns
And I’m helpless

Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real

I’ll trade these lies for something right
I’ll kill what hurts with something pure
I will be redeemed so I can breathe again

Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real

Celine Dion - I'm Alive

When you call on me
When I hear you
Breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive

When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I'm alive

When you bless
The day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm
Alive

You've set my heart
On fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on
Clouds above

I couldn't get
Much higher
My spirit takes flight
'Cause I'm alive

When you call on me
When I hear you
Breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive

When you reach
For me
Raising spirits high
God knows that

That I'll be the one
Standing by
Through good and
Trying times

And it's only begun
I can't wait for the
Rest of my life

When you call on me
When you reach
For me
I get wings to fly
I feel that

When you bless
The day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I know that I'm alive

I get
Wings to fly
God knows that I'm
Alive

3 Doors Down - Kryptonite

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
I've seen the world fold to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do

I watched the world fold to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman ¿
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand ¿
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My kryptonite

You call me strong
You call me weak
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up, put you back on solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman ¿
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand ¿
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman ¿
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand ¿
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman ¿
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand ¿
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My kryptonite

I love 3 doors down... Here's one of my favs...(I have many):

"Here Without You" - 3 Doors Down

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
