A place to document my favourite lyrics from my favourite songs.

[myfavouritelyrics]

Am I alive

Was it my time

Did I push my luck

Did I cross the line

If there's a god

I hope I'm not too late

To apologize

For all my mistakes

The water is so warm

But I can see my breath

I'm ready to pass over

When the sun sets

Running for my life

One last kiss, goodnight

Pull me close

Skin and bones

Cleanse my soul

'Cause I'm

Falling in vertigo

[myfavouritelyrics]

So this is permanent, love's shattered pride

What once was innocence, turned on its side

A cloud hangs over me, marks every move

Deep in the memory, what once was love

[myfavouritelyrics]

I should have known better than to let you go alone

It's times like these, can't make it on my own

Wasted days and sleepless nights

And I can't wait to see you again

I find I spend my time waitin' on your call

How can I tell you, babe? My back's against the wall

I need you by my side to tell me it's alright

'Cause I don't think I can take anymore

[myfavouritelyrics]

I need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing

My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology

'Cause I am no mother

I am no bride

I am king

[myfavouritelyrics]

We only said goodbye with words

I died a hundred times

You go back to her

And I go back to black

[myfavouritelyrics]

But promises, you know what they're for

It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before

'Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure

And so you put up your guard

And you try to be hard but your heart says try again

[myfavouritelyrics]

There's a club if you'd like to go

You could meet somebody who really loves you

So you go and you stand on your own

And you leave on your own

And you go home, and you cry, and you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen now

Well, when exactly do you mean?

See, I've already waited too long

And all my hope is gone

You, shut your mouth, how can you say

I go about things the wrong way?

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

[myfavouritelyrics]

Now some folks are born into a good life

And other folks get it anyway, anyhow

Well now I lost my money and I lost my wife

Them things don't seem to matter much to me now

Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop

I'll be on that hill with everything I got

Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost

I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost

For wanting things that can only be found

In the darkness on the edge of town

In the darkness on the edge of town

[myfavouritelyrics]

Hello, cowgirl in the sand

(Hello, cowgirl in the sand)

Is this place at your command?

Can I stay here for a while? (While)

Can I see your sweet, sweet smile?

Old enough, now, to change your name

When so many love you, is it the same?

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

[myfavouritelyrics]

And Kali Ma lean over me

Rip your hand into my chest

Pull out my beating heart for the world to see

Oh, won't you go to hell?

(Go to hell!)

You're gonna get killed chasing after your damn fortune and glory

Maybe I, maybe I will

But not today!

[myfavouritelyrics]

It's called love

And it's so un-cool

It's called love

And somehow it's become unmentionable

It's called love

And it belongs to every one of us

It's called love

And it cuts your life like a broken knife

[myfavouritelyrics]

All the words that never came out right

Within reach, but out of sight

All the songs that couldn't mend your heart

But slit it up and tore apart

See, the palace built of frozen tears

Is your own built prison

And if only love could break these chains

Life could go on

[myfavouritelyrics]

I look at the cross

Then I look away

Give you the gun

Blow me away

I watched a change in you

It's like you never had wings

Now, you feel so alive

I've watched you change

[myfavouritelyrics]

Walk that line, torn apart

Gotta spend your whole life trying

Ride that train, and free your heart

It's midnight up in Harlem

[myfavouritelyrics]

Well, I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed

That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed

I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times

When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

[myfavouritelyrics]

I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadents

But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled, yeah

But it's on the table, the fire's cookin'

And they're farmin' babies, while slaves are workin'

The blood is on the table and the mouths are chokin'

But I'm goin' hungry, yeah

[myfavouritelyrics]

So let it be written

So let it be done

I'm sent here by the chosen one

So let it be written

So let it be done

To kill the first born pharaoh son

I'm creeping death

Die by my hand

I creep across the land

Killing first born man

Die by my hand

I creep across the land

Killing first born man
