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....

Jimmy Cliff - Come Into My Life lyrics

Mmmh mmmh yeah

Come into my life, come into my life

Come into my life, oh baby

Come in today - come on in - come in to stay - come on in

Come into my life, oh baby

The first time that I met you I knew I had to make you mine

And when I kissed you, I knew I want you all the time

I don't need no sympathy, all I need is your love for me

Tell me now and I make you happy, oh baby

Come into my life, come into my life

Come into my life, oh baby

Come in today - come on in - come in to stay - come on in

Come into my life, oh baby

Hold me and fold me anyway into your will

Bend me and shape me, baby as long as you love me still

I don't need no sympathy, all I need is your love for me

Tell me now and I'll make you happy, hey baby

Come into my life, come into my life

Come into my life, oh baby

Come in today - come on in - come in to stay - come on in

Come into my life, oh baby

Come into my life - 'cause I need you

Come into my life - said I want you

Come into my life - I gotta have you baby

Come into my life - oh yeah right now

Come into my life - and oh yeah yeah yeah

Come into my life - said I need you, child

Come into my life - ah ah yeah I need your love

Come into my life - I gotta have you right now ....

Charice performs "Note to God"

Okay so this was the girl on Glee last night... she sang this song on The Oprah Winfrey Show ... this performance gave me the chills... her voice is so rich (she's only 16!!!!) and these lyrics are amazing! If you haven't watched this yet, watch it now!




Note to God

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak what's in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end
and for peace to mend this world

I'd say
I'd say
I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love, cause love is overdue
And it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find a way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness
in our hearts

I'd say
I'd say
I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love, cause love is overdue
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you

Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

No
No

We can't do it on our own

So
So

(Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love, cause love is overdue)
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help

Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

No
No
(No) We can't do it on our own

(So)
So

If I wrote a note to God
