India Arie - Long Goodbye (for you, Giovanni)

Giovanni - this is for you:



India Arie Long Goodbye

Mmhmmmm.....

I say I love you
You say that's kind
You don't wanna get too close
You loved me crazy
I lost my mind

Listen...

You're everything I never wanted
And all the things I didn't need
This ain't who I wanna be
You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye

Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Soft kiss, sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

Yeah...
I cried in silence
I lived through you
I've given everything away
And maybe I can learn to fall
For someone who can give me all
The things I"m not afraid to lose

Whenever you see lonely faces
that's where I'll be
don't cry for me, no no no no
don't cry for me, don't cry
for me yeah yeahhhh

Hey, don't cry for me, no no no
I'm gonna be okay

Gravity - Sara Bareilles

It's hard to let you go....

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

[CHORUS:]
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.

Walk Away - Christina Aguilera

This is me.... giving in... walking away...

What do you do when you know something’s bad for you And you still can’t let go? I was naïve Your love was like candy Artificially sweet I was deceived by the wrapping Got caught in your web And I learned how to bleed I was prey in your bed And devoured completely And it hurts my soul Cause I can’t let go All these walls are caving in I can’t stop my suffering I hate to show that I’ve lost control Cause i, I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I should have known I was used for amusement Couldn’t see through the smoke It was all an illusion Now I’ve been licking my wounds (licking my wounds) But the vemon seeps deeper (deeper, deeper) We both can seduce But darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner) I’m about to break I can’t stop this ache I’m addicted to your allure And I’m fiendin’ for a cure Every step I take Leads to one mistake I keep going right back To the one thing that I need... I can’t mend This torn state I’m in Getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve The pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Everytime I try to grasp for air I get smothered in dispair, it’s never over, over Seems I’ll never wake from this nightmare, I let out a silent prayer That it be over, over Inside I’m screaming Begging, pleading no more I don’t know what to do My heart has been bruised So sad but it’s true Each beat reminds me of you It hurts my soul Cause I can’t let go All these walls are caving in I can’t stop my suffering I hate to show that I’ve lost control Cause i I keep going right back To the one thing that I need, oh I’m about to break And I can’t stop this ache I’m addicted to your allure And I’m fiendin’ for a cure Every step I take Leads to one mistake I keep going right back To the one thing that I need, oh I can’t mend This torn state I’m in Getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve The pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I say... I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away Only thing I need to do is walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away

Alicia Keys - Caged Bird

Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and rivalry
They didn't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty



I know why the caged bird sings....
