Dear Claudia by SouthFM
-----
dear claudia, you should try not to sleep with your best friends boyfriend
you've come so far since that time when you let your first boy in
and you do it so carelessly
as if you had no self esteem
a victim of apathy but you don't care what people say about you
i will let you in before you break yourself
its true that you like to sleep around
enjoy it with your backside on the ground
but you should know that its not your fault
your father killed himself
dear claudia, you leave pieces of you in each bed you lay in
and when you're done there will be somebody else wearing your skin
I will lay your fears right here next to mine
and when we close our eyes we'll be entwined
little claudia
you must find another
you must forgive yourself
cause its not your fault I killed myself
little claudia
I will forgive you

Not Tonight by Adelayda
----
Do you remember all the things you said to me
You made them sound so simple, but they're just not that easy
You swear that I could be someone to hold you for all time
Baby, not tonight
And I tried to tell you now, but I can't find those words
And I tried to show you how, but that's pain you don't deserve
And you're sitting there and asking if you can come inside
Baby, not tonight
And take a look at what we've become
A tragedy, but I can't find that love
That we started with so long ago
And I know this isn't right
It's the last time I'll be kissing you
So goodnight, goodnight
This is gonna hurt me now much more than it hurts you
A sad 'ol cliche is now slowly turning true
You can tell something's wrong and ask can we talk awhile
Baby, not tonight
Take a look at what we've become
A tragedy, but I can't find that love
That we started with so long ago
And I know this isn't right
It's the last time I'll be kissing you
So goodnight, goodnight, Yeah
We're driving home and you can see this in my eyes
Yours start to tear up, you see straight through my disguise
And you're leaning so much closer now, holding on so tight
It's the last time I'll be kissing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Cry by Angie Aparo
-----
If I had just one tear runnin' down your cheek,
maybe I could cope, maybe
I'd get some sleep.
If I had just one moment at your expense,
maybe all my misery,
It would be well spent. Yeah....
Chorus:
Could you cry a little? Lie just a little?
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain.
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return.
So cry just a little for me.
If your love could be caged, honey,
I would hold the key,
And conceal it underneath the pile
of lies you handed me.
[ Find more Lyrics on ANGIE APARO "CRY" Lyrics ]
And you'd hunt in those lies.
They'd be all you'd ever find.
That'd be all you'll have to know
for me to be fine. Yeah...
Chorus:
And you'd cry a little, die just a little.
And maybe I'll feel just a little less pain.
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return.
So cry just a little for me.
Give it up baby....whimper would be fine.
Some kind of clue that you're doing time.
Some kind of heartache, honey, give it
a try.. I don't want pity
I just want what is mine. Yeah.
Could you cry a little? Lie just a little?
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain.
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return.
So cry just a little for me
yeah....could you cry a little for me?
yeah...cry...a little....for me.

Black Orchid by Blue October
-----
Have you ever been so lonely,
No one there to hold?
Pull me in or disown me,
And then climb inside.
My arms are open wide.
Have a look inside.
It is not that I am scared to learn,
Why I'm empty inside.
hold my hand or show some concern,
If I live or die.
My eyes are open wide.
Help me look inside.
I hear the water drip from the faucet.
It's sweetly falling in tune.
I'm gently closing the closet.
I fall to the floor,
and crawl to my room.
The thought of ending it soon...
Just let me sleep in my room.
Hear me cry! cry! cry!
I hear a knock at the front door.
Don't come in!
I try to look at you
But I can't stop shaking.
Leave me alone. Just go away.
Mother I'm so scared.
Empty bed and all of the sheets are gone,
They're wrapped around me and you.
All is quiet but the drop of a gun.
I want to belong...to someone...
But maybe life's not for everyone.

One of God's Better People by Robbie Williams
-----
You're one of God's better people
And you don't know
That's why you're special
And I cry so I can talk like this
From my downbeat existence
And I know that you can make my wish
If my wish is pure
But I don't know
I just don't know
I don't know
Let me love you so
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you, without you
You're one of God's better people
And you don't know
That's why you're special
It must hurt to see your favourite man
Lose himself again and again
And I know that you're my only friend
>From way back when
My wish was pure
It was oh so pure
It was pure
I couldn't love you more
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you, without you
'cos I don't know no more
I just don't know no more
I jsut don't know
Let me love you so
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you, without you
You're one of God's better people
And you don't know
That's why you're special

Tea and Sympathy by Jars of Clay
----
Fare thee well
Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
Wonder why we tried, for things that could never be
Play our hearts lament, like an unrehearsed symphony
Not intend
To leave this castle full of empty rooms
Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
And all the victory songs
Seem to be playing out of tune
But its not the way
That it has to be
Dont trade our love for tea and sympathy
cause its not the way
That it has to be
You begin
And all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
I reach for my tea and slowly drink in
Chorus:
cause its not the way
That it has to be
Dont trade our love for tea and sympathy
cause its not the way
That it has to be
Dont trade our love for tea and sympathy
So fare thee well
Words the bag of leaves that fill my head
I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead
She holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two
[chorus x 2]
Dont trade us for tea and sympathy
Dont trade us for tea and sympathy
We can work it out
Dont trade us for tea and sympathy
Dont trade us for tea and sympathy
We can work it out
Dont trade us for tea and sympathy
We can work it out

Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch (believe it or not!)
-----
Of all the things I believe in
I just want to get it over with
tears from behind my eyes
but I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Looks like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Ohhh yeah
It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time
I want whats yours and I want whats mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
We the stars fall and I lie awake
Your my shooting star

Chandeliers by My Friend Steve
----
Crystalline chandeliers hang from your sleeping eyes
Each stone seems more than a crystal to me
They're more like diamonds that you have wiped within your angel kissed skin
Far too many time these rigid stones, these diamond tears
With the numbers so great
They've formed the chandeliers from you
All these jagged years so mean
So lean of interludes of delight
Many an eve you've wept 'til blue
Many more you've held your feelings in tight
Deep down within you carry other's sins
And you cry to the man who sits up high
So many worries see joy pass in flurries
Can leave you wrinkled to die

4 A.M. by Our Lady Pace
-----
Walked around my good intentions
And found out there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years
We hardly talked
Never thought I would forget this hate
And a phone call made me realize I'm wrong
And if I don't make it known that
I loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignored because
We're both dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out whats wrong
Walked around my room not thinking
Sinking in this box
Blame myself for being too much like
Somebody else
I never thought I would just bend this way
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong
And if I don't make it known that
I loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignored because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out whats wrong
And if I don't make it known that
I loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignored because
We're both dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out

Is Anybody Home? by Our Lady Peace
-----
Goodbye, the future's sold out
There's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far
Tonight, your faith has come down
To money & a TV
Psychics who've never been to Mars
And nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset
I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
We're all scared, all scared
Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
The loneliness
That everyone becomes
Goodnight, the truth has come out
Everyone's needy
White teeth, a ticket to meet God
Be all that you envy
The shotgun under your bed has
Started breathing
You shot it, you shot it
I'm bare, I'm bare
Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody painted fear
On the bedroom walls that save us from

With This Knife by Smile Empty Soul
----
I let myself fall into a lie
I let my walls come down
I let myself smile and feel alive
I let my walls come down
no matter how I try I don't know why
you push so far away
you wrapped your hands tight around my heart
you squeezed it full of pain
with this knife I'll cut out the part of me
the part that cares for you
with this knife I'll cut out the heart of me
the heart that cares for you
I can't believe the way you took me down
I never saw the pain
coming in a million broken miles
like poison FOR my veins
with this knife I'll cut out the part of me
the part that cares for you
with this knife I'll cut out the heart of me
the heart that cares for you
with this knife I'll cut out the part of me
the part that cares for you
with this knife I'll cut out the heart of me
the heart that cares for you
the hate and the fear
the nightmares that wake
me up in tears
the nightmares and the hate
and the fear
the nightmares that wake
me up in tears
the nightmares and the hate
and the fear
the nightmare that wake
me up in tears
the nightmares and the hate

Dry Your Eyes by The Streets
-----
In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground
Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down
World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown
Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship, if you must
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet
Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over
So then I move my hand up from down by my side
It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me
There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein'
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
Please, please, I beg you please
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers
Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over
And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word
'Cause everythin's just gone
I've got nothin'
Absolutely nothin'
Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation
Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin'
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in
Look into her eyes to make her listen again
I'm not gonna fuckin', just fuckin' leave it all now
'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow
And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down
You're well out of order now, this is well out of town
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist
Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight
Turns around so she's now got her back to my face
Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away
Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over
I know in the past I've found it hard to say
Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight
But the more I pull on your hand and say
The more you pull away
Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now.
