6. “I shed a tear because I’m missing you but I’m still alright to smile, girl I think about you everyday now.
There was a time when I wasn’t sure , but you set my mind at ease, girl there is no doubt you’re in my heart now.”…. (Patience)
7. “I remember what she said to me , how she promised that it never would end , I remember how she held me oh so tight, I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then , Against the wind , we were running against the wind, we were young and strong we were running against the wind.”
….(Against the Wind)
8. "When you were here before,
Couldn’t look you in the eye,
You’re just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry,
You float like a feather,
In a beautiful world,
I wish I was special,
You’re so fucking special.
But I’m a creep,
I’m a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here...
I don’t care if it hurts,
I want to have control,
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul,
I want you to notice,
When I’m not around
... (Creep)

…. (More than a Feeling)
11. “For they could not love you , But still your love was true , And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night, You took your life as lovers often do , But I could have told you Vincent , This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you”…. (Starry Starry Night)

14. “Though you're close to me, we seem so far apart. Maybe, given time, you'll have a change of heart.
If it takes forever, girl, then I'm prepared to wait. The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late.”…. (You To Me Are Everything)
15. “I'm lying alone with my head on the phone, Thinking of you till it hurts, I know you hurt too, but what else can we do, Tormented and torn apart , I wish I could carry your smile in my heart , For times when my life feels so low , It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring , When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know. I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you, I know you were right believing for so long , I'm all out of love, what am I without you , I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong.”…. (All Out of Love)
16. “You always won , every time you placed a bet , you’re still damn good , no one’s gotten to you yet ,

back and walked.” …. (Still The Same)
17. “Deep in my soul, I’ve been so lonely, all of my hopes fading away, I’ve longed for love like everyone else does , I know I’ll keep searching , even after today ,” …. (We’ve Got Tonight)
18. “And the years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone, surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends, I found myself further and further from my home. And I guess I lost my way , there were oh so many roads , I was living to run and running to live , never worried about paying or even how much I
owed, moving eight miles a minute for months at a time, breaking all of the rules that would bend ,
I began to find myself searching, searching for shelter again and again.” …. (Against The Wind)
19. “Baby I’m-a want you, baby I’m -a need you, you’re the only one I care enough to hurt about.
Maybe I’m –a crazy, but I just can’t live without…your lovin’ and affection, giving me direction.
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour. Lately I’m a prayin’, that you’ll always be a-stayn’ beside me.”… (Baby I’m-a Want You)

All the dreams we held so close, seemed to all go up in smoke, let me whisper in your ear -Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
Angie, don't weep, all your kisses still taste sweet, I hate that sadness in your eyes.”… (Angie)
23. “You touched my heart you touched my soul. You changed my life and all my goals. And love is blind and that I knew when, my heart was blinded by you. … I know your fears and you know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine, and I love you,
I swear that's true. I cannot live without you.” … (Goodbye My Lover)
24. “At times I’d like to break you and drive you to your knees, At times I’d like to break through and hold you endlessly.
At times I understand you, and I know how hard you try. I watched while love commands you, and I’ve watched love pass you by.
At times I think we’re drifters, still searching for a friend, a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.
And sometimes when we touch, the honesty’s too much, and I have to close my eyes and hide.
I want to hold ya till I die, till we both break down and cry, I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides…”
… (Sometimes When We Touch)
25. “Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you, and its not a cry you can hear at night, its not
somebody who's seen the light, its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah” … (Hallelujah)
26. “I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song , I just can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end, I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again”… (Fire And Rain)
27. “I was just guessing at numbers and figures, pulling your puzzles apart. Questions of science, science and progress do not speak as loud
as my heart. Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me, Oh and I rush to the start. Running in circles, chasing our tails, Coming back as
we are…” … (The Scientist)
28. “Suppose I never ever met you, suppose we never fell in love, suppose I never ever let you - kiss me so sweet and so
soft.
Suppose I never ever saw you, suppose you never ever called, suppose I kept on singing love songs, just to break my own fall” …
(Fidelity)
29. “People are talkin, talking 'bout people, I hear them whisper, you won't believe it, They think we're lovers, kept under covers,
I just ignore it, but they keep saying, We laugh just a little too loud. We stand just a little too close. We stare just a little too long.
Maybe they're seeing, something we don't, Darlin’ let’s give them something to talk about… how about love? … I feel so foolish,
I never noticed, you’d act so nervous; could you be falling for me? It took a rumor to make me wonder; now I'm convinced I'm going
under, Thinking 'bout you every day, Dreaming 'bout you every night, Hoping that you feel the same way, Now that we know it, let’s
really show it, Darlin'…” … (Something To Talk About)
30. “Silence stalks me pushes me through, I feel so broken” … (Youthful)
31. Closed off from love I didn't need the pain. Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain. Time starts to pass,
Before you know it you're frozen. … (Bleeding Love)
32. “Hello, yeah it’s been a while, not much, how ‘bout you? I’m not sure why I called; I just really wanted to talk to you.” – (Really love to see you tonight)
33. “And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, these dreams in which I’m dying, Are the best I've ever had. I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take,
when people run in circles it’s a very very Mad World, Mad World” (Mad World)
34. “I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel, I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real. The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting, try to kill it all away,
but I remember everything. What have I become? My sweetest friend, everyone I know, goes away in the end. And you could have it all, my empire of dirt.
I will let you down. I will make you hurt.” (Hurt)
35. “Into the distance, a ribbon of black, Stretched to the point of no turning back. A flight of fancy, on a windswept field. Standing alone my senses reeled.
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how can I escape this irresistible grasp?” (Learning To Fly)
36. “Ice is forming on the tips of my wings. Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything. No navigator to guide my way home. Unladened, empty and turned to stone.
A soul in tension that's learning to fly, condition grounded but determined to try.” (Learning To Fly)
37. “Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all” (Pain)
38. “Nothing compares, No worries or cares, Regrets and mistakes, They are memories made., Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste? “ (Somebody like You)
39. “The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under the covers stayin' safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore” (Bubbly)
40. "Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves
He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailor said "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"... (Brandy)
41. Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
Love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep ... (Let her Go)
42. Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember ... (Somebody that I used to Know)
43. How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here ... (Wish you were here)
44. Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home...
never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand
What happened to our love
But babe I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of... (Boys of Summer)
