“Almost Lover” performed by A Fine Frenzy

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

Well, I’d never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you’re gone and I’m haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

“Always” performed by Saliva

I hear a voice say, “Don’t be so blind.”
it’s telling me all these things
that you would probably hide
am I your one and only desire?
am I the reason you breathe?
or am I the reason you cry?

always, always, always, always, always, always.
I just can’t live without you.

I love you
I hate you
I can’t get around you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can’t live without you
I just can’t take any more
this life of solitude
I guess that I’m out the door
and now I’m done with you

I feel like you don’t want me around
I guess I’ll pack all my things
I guess I’ll see you around
It’s all been bottled up until now
as I walk out your door
all I can hear is the sound

always, always, always, always, always, always.
I just can’t live without you

I love you
I hate you
I can’t get around you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can’t live without you
I just can’t take any more
this life of solitude
I guess that I’m out the door
and now I’m done with you

I love you
I hate you
I can’t live without you

I left my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart?

always, always, always, always

I see… the blood all over your hands
does it make you feel… more like a man?
was it all… just a part of your plan?
the pistol’s shakin’ in my hands
and all I hear is the sound

I love you
I hate you
I can’t live without you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can’t live without you
I just can’t take any more
this life of solitude
I guess that I’m out the door
and now I’m done with you

I love you
I hate you
I can’t live without you

I love you
I hate you
I can’t live without you
I just can’t take any more
this life of solitude
I pick myself off the floor
and now I’m done with you
Always
Always
Always

“Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone”
performed by Cinderlla

I can’t tell ya baby what went wrong
I can’t make you feel what you felt so long ago
I’ll let it show
I can’t give you back what’s been hurt
Heartaches come and go and all that’s left are the words
I can’t let go
If we take some time to think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really want to go

Don’t know what you got till it’s gone
Don’t know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It’s just this song
And it ain’t easy to get back
Takes so long

I can’t feel the things that cause you pain
I can’t clear my heart of your love it falls like rain
Ain’t the same
I hear you calling far away
Tearing through my soul I just can’t take another day
Who’s to blame
If we take some time to think it over baby
Take some time let me know
If you really want to go

Don’t know what you got till it’s gone
Don’t know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It’s just this song
And it ain’t easy to get back
Takes so long

Do you want to see me beggin’ baby
Can’t you give me just one more day
Can’t you see my heart’s been draggin’ lately
I’ve been lookin’ for the words to say

Don’t know what you got till it’s gone
Don’t know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It’s just this song
And it ain’t easy to get back
Takes so long

Don’t know what you got till it’s gone no
Don’t know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It’s just this song
And it ain’t easy to get back
Takes so long

“Kryptonite” performed by 3 Doors Down

Well, I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands of time

But I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do

I watched the world float 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 a-holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called 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 and 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 a-holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
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 might
Kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I’m alive and well, will you be there a-holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

“Outside” Performed by Staind

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
And I leave
My burdens at the door
But I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times
That I felt like this won’t end
It’s for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It was from you
All those times
That I cry my intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone
But I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times
That I’ve cried
All that’s wasted
It’s all inside
And I feel all this pain
Stuffed it down
It’s back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can’t mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be okay
But I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

“Since I Don’t Have You” performed by The Skyliners 1959

I don’t have plans and schemes
And I don’t have hopes and dreams
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you

I don’t have fond desires
And I don’t have happy hours
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you

I don’t have happiness, and I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he’s been here since then

I don’t have love to share
And I don’t have one who cares
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
(You)
