No Time To Die - Billie Eilish (2020)

I should've known I'd leave alone Just goes to show That the blood you bleed Is just the blood you owe

We were a pair But I saw you there Too much to bear You were my life But life is far away from fair

Was I stupid to love you? Was I reckless to help? Was it obvious to everybody else

That I'd fallen for a lie? You were never on my side Fool me once, fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry There's just no time to die

I let it burn You're no longer my concern Faces from my past return Another lesson yet to learn

That I'd fallen for a lie You were never on my side Fool me once, fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry There's just no time to die

No time to die No time to die

Fool me once, fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry

There's just no time to die

Here Comes Goodbye - Rascal Flatts (2009)

I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road And it's not like her to drive that slow Nothing's on the radio Footsteps on the front porch I hear my doorbell She usually comes right in Now I can tell

Here comes goodbye Here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry Here comes the pain Here comes me wishing things had never changed And she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye

I can hear her say "I love you" like it was yesterday And I can see it written on her face That she had never felt this way One day I thought I'd see her With her daddy by her side And violins would play here comes the bride

But here comes goodbye Here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry Here comes the pain Here comes me wishing things had never changed And she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye

Why's it have to go from good to gone? Before the lights turn on Yeah and you're left alone All alone But here comes goodbye

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Here comes goodbye Here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry Here comes the pain Here comes me wishing things had never changed And she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye

Amen (Featuring Aquilo) - Enigma (2016)

I'm out on a new road in search for a land with no name And I never looked back, 'cause I'm walking through sunshine and rain I'm a man who has lived in the tombs and who's broken the chain

Amen Amen

I was blind, but now I see What if God is not for me And I know, it's time to go

I've been used and I've been played I've been spied on and betrayed And I know, it's time to go

I defeat the pain (Watch out) I'm alive again The past is gone for good, it's time to say

Amen Amen Amen Amen

At last, I believe I will be found In the silence of my nights I can hear a distant voice Someone out there is calling my name

I'm not afraid (Watch out) I'm beyond the dread It's time to turn the page and love again

I defeat the pain (Watch out) and I cry again I'm leaving all my shadows behind

Amen Amen Amen Amen

Tabo - Hiroshima (1989)

He's never satisfied His work is never done Slave to a reason He's the silent one He's paid the price We can never know Strong like a tree Against an endless wind He never cries He only smiles He sees the future He gives his heart to us He is a gentleman He has such different ways He is a warrior That's what people say He took the path To the dark unknown To bring back the light The truth for us to know He faced his fears He knows the tears He is the spirit He gives his life for us Tabo's a friend Tabo's a friend of mine He faced his fears He knows the tears He is the spirit He gives his life for us Tabo's a friend Tabo's a friend of mine

Lost - Linkin Park (2023)

Just a scar somewhere down inside of me Something I cannot repair Even though it will always be I pretend it isn't there (this is how I feel) I'm trapped in yesterday (just a memory) Where the pain is all I know (this is all I know)

And I'll never break away (can't break free) 'Cause when I'm alone

I'm lost in these memories Living behind my own illusion Lost all my dignity Living inside my own confusion

But I'm tired, I will always be afraid Of the damage I've received Broken promises they made And how blindly I believed (this is all I know)

I will never break away (can't break free) 'Cause when I'm alone

I'm lost in these memories Living behind my own illusion Lost all my dignity Living inside my own confusion

I try to keep this pain inside, but I will never be alright I try to keep this pain inside, but I will never be alright (I'm lost) I try to keep this pain inside, but I will never be alright (I'm lost) I try to keep this pain inside, but I will never be alright

I'm lost in these memories Living behind my own illusion Lost all my dignity Living inside my own confusion

Brighter Side of Grey - Five Finger Death Punch (2020)

I'm writing this in case I'm gone tomorrow I'm writing this in case I've moved along There's something that I hope you'll remember That life is not a game, it's a song

So take the best parts of me Locked away without the keys And know that I'm forever by your side

When the lights go down Know that I am never far away When the sun burns out I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

If you're reading this, I know you're feeling sorrow If you're hearing this, I know you're probably scared Just know that all the things you want are borrowed And all you get to keep is all you've shared

So wipe away the tears for me Know that we've made history Remember no one ever really dies

When the lights go down Know that I am never far away When the sun burns out I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

When the lights go down Know that I am never far away When the sun burns out I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

Cruising for Bruising - Basia (1990)

Cry Come to me and cry I know, I know, I know it's not easy Your heart is aching But so is mine, How can I tell you Why For so long, so long, so long, I've been thinking Now I know I can't live a lie They say true love lasts forever If we want it There will be waiting A second chance Baby but now we need time Time to learn Time to understand Where we went wrong 'Cause I feel so strong We are cruising for bruising My Baby Go I must let you go Don't stop, don't stop 'Cause it's better now When I still love you Don't say goodbye So bye for now, don't let it die 'Cause we can try some other time

I'll be holding on - Gregg Allman (1989 - Black Rain Soundtrack)

I have lived my life my way For tonight and for today It's the strongest hearts they say That always survive I'm fallin through the years As each dream it disappears When the night is full of tears I'll be holdin on Now this life is etched in black But I won't be lookin back The rain washed out the tracks I'll never find again I'm still reachin for the light I'm still wearin out the night And you know I'll be alright I'll be holdin on When I stand alone I don't stand on memories Of all the ones you've known I'll be holdin on I know how it is I know how it will be (When) All the rest are gone I'll be holdin on Well my life is made of sand It flows right through my hand Each day I make a stand And I'll see it through I'll be reachin for the light I'll be wearin out the night And you know I'll be alright I'll be holdin on When I stand alone I don't stand on memories Of all the ones you've known I'll be holdin on I know how it is I know how it will be (When) All the rest are gone I'll be holdin on I know how it is I know how it will be (When) All the rest are gone I'll be holdin on I know how it is I know how it will be (When) All the rest are gone I'll be holdin on

Walk - Foo Fighters (2011)

A million miles away Your signal in the distance To whom it may concern I think I lost my way Getting good at starting over Every time that I return

Learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? Learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough? Where do I begin?

Do you remember the days? We built these paper mountains Then sat and watched them burn I think I found my place Can't you feel it growing stronger Little conquerors

Learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? Learning to talk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin?

Now For the very first time Don't you pay no mind Set me free, again To keep alive, a moment at a time That's still inside, a whisper to a riot The sacrifice, the knowing to survive That first decline, another state of mind I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign Forever, whenever, I never wanna die

I never wanna die I never wanna die I'm on my knees, I never wanna die I'm dancing on my grave I'm running through the fire Forever, whenever I never wanna die I never wanna leave I'll never say goodbye Forever, whenever Forever, whenever

Learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? Learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough? Where do I begin?

Learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough?

A Symptom Of Being Human - Shinedown (2022)

I can still remember me and Miss November Rain Beautiful and strange Always so inclined, coloring outside the lines Yeah, you were never on time

You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird Upside down and not all here What's a-wrong with me and you is crystal clear

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong And the house is on fire and there's no alarm And the walls are melting too How about you? I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all 'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin' too How about you? Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

Unpack all your baggage Hide it in the attic, where You hope it disappears This all seems so familiar But it doesn't feel like home It's just another unknown

You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird Upside down and not all here Right a wrong, it's all so crystal clear

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong And the house is on fire and there's no alarm And the walls are melting too How about you? I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all 'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin' too How about you? Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

We're all just passing through Passengers on a ship of fools We're all just passing through Passengers on a ship of fools

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong And the house is on fire and there's no alarm And the walls are melting too How about you? I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all 'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin' too On a ship of fools Don't worry, it's all just a symptom Of being human

The Crow & the Butterfly - Shinedown (2008)

I painted your room at midnight So I'd know yesterday was over I put all your books on the top shelf Even the one with the four-leaf clover Man, I'm gettin' older I took all your pictures off the wall And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket I haven't slept in what seems like a century And now I can barely breathe

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late

Your words still serenade me Your lullabies won't let me sleep I've never heard such a haunting melody Oh, it's killin' me You know I can barely breathe

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away Like a crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late

Just a little too late

When You Grow Up, Your Heart Dies - Gunship (2018)

When you grow up your heart dies Who cares? I care

When you grow up your heart dies Just keep holding that secret code by your side

Somebody call, somebody call it (don't go) Don't let it go, don't let it go (just stay) Without somebody to hold, without somebody I just need that body

You're on fire The way you dance with the devil tonight You're on fire You've got that last dance look in your eyes Just like a movie Don't let your heart die, don't let your heart die, don't let your heart die

Hey temptation, escape with me Just some flashing lights And some tire smoke is all that we need

Somebody call, somebody call it (don't go) Don't let it go, don't let it go (just stay) Without somebody to hold, without somebody I just need that body

You're on fire The way you dance with the devil tonight You're on fire You've got that last dance look in your eyes Just like a movie Don't let your heart die, don't let your heart die, don't let your heart die

You're on fire Just like a movie A suicide of a perfect mind Promise, don't let your heart die

Whatever will be, will be Don't care what anyone else thinks You'll be okay, I promise Just keep on keeping on It's just a bad day, not a bad life I'll always be there for you I swear the breath from my lungs You'll feel it when you know Life is worth the risk Live long and prosper Believe in yourself and create your own destiny Don't fear failure

Keep running on Just hold on, just fight on Until the sun goes down Just remember when you grow up your heart dies

Don't ever give up Everything worth doing is hard The only time that matters is right now It's okay to feel lost Live life to the full because you never know what's around the corner So let's take a part of the world and make it our own Don't let the bastards grind you down You saved me

Keep running on Just hold on, just fight on Until the sun goes down Just remember when you grow up your heart dies

There's no fate but what we make for ourselves We always have each other Keep your head up, kid Always fear regret more than failure Stay true to yourself There is still good in the world Expect nothing and appreciate everything 二つに分かれた道は、ずっと君のためにある It was all worth it The sun never sets on your dreams

Ordinary World - Duran Duran (1993)

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue Thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all? Crazy, some'd say Where is the life that I recognise? (Gone away)

But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say "Pride will tear us both apart" Well, now pride's gone out the window 'Cross the rooftops, run away Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me? Crazy, some'd say Where is my friend when I need you most? (Gone away)

But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah Gone away Oh-oh

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed Fear today, forgot tomorrow Ooh-ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

Just blowing away

And I don't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive

I will learn to survive (Any world is my world) I will learn to survive (Any world is my world) (Every world is my world) (Every world)

Far too wide for me - The Peter Moon Band (1982)

I sit somewhere along the bay and stare islands far away Their gray and misty outlines appear way out to sea

But clouds are never what they seem and far off winds dissolve my dreams I do believe this ocean is far too wide for me

With Honolulu on my mind and someone there I left behind I wish that there were somewhere to walk across the sea

It seems to me I always lose when fighting any homesick blues I do believe this ocean is far too wide for me

I wish I could be watching those blue waters flow As the tradewinds blow all the clouds away And you would be there, sweet and lovely by my side As the sea birds glide and the palm trees sway

I wish I could be watching those blue waters flow As the tradewinds blow all the clouds away And you would be there, sweet and lovely by my side As the sea birds glide and the palm trees sway

But there is little I can do except to dream when I'm feeling blue It seems that there are some things that are not meant to be

As I get up I feel a chill what this place needs is getting used to still

I do believe this ocean is far too wide for me

ドレス - Buck Tick (1993)

I doze with you in front of the mirror, my pale pink fingertips 鏡の前で君とまどろむ 薄紅の指先 That hand suddenly showed weakness and covered my lips. その手は不意に弱さを見せて 唇をふさいだ That day, I made a promise with you. あの日 君と約束を 交わした I can't remember the two of us now 今は二人 想い出せずに Listen to boring songs and stare out the window 退屈な歌に耳を傾け 窓の外見つめる

I'll wear a dress and dance to show you 僕はドレスをまとい 踊って見せよう

Tell me, are you crazy? 狂ってるかい 教えて

Someday it will be carried away by the wind いつか 風にさらわれてゆくだろう

I can't remember the two of us now 今は二人 想い出せず

Why am I like the wind and like the clouds? 僕はなぜ 風の様に雲の様に

Why are there no wings to float up to that sky? あの空へと浮かぶ羽がない なぜ

Wrap everything like the stars and the moon 星の様に月の様に全て包む

I have no wings to sink into that night, ah あの夜へと沈む羽がない ああ Don't forget those days full of love 忘れないで 愛あふれたあの日々

I can't even remember your face 君の顔も 想い出せずに

Someday it will be drowned out by the wind いつか 風にかき消されてゆくだろう

I can't remember the two of us now 今は二人 想い出せず

Why am I like the wind and like the clouds? 僕はなぜ 風の様に雲の様に

Why are there no wings to float up to that sky? あの空へと浮かぶ羽がない なぜ

Wrap everything like the stars and the moon 星の様に月の様に全て包む

I have no wings to sink into that night, ah あの夜へと沈む羽がない ああ

Why am I like the wind and like the clouds? 僕はなぜ 風の様に雲の様に

Why are there no wings to float up to that sky? あの空へと浮かぶ羽がない なぜ

I miss this love and this hurt この愛もこの傷も懐かしい

Now I'm in love and it hurts, ah 今は愛しくて痛みだす ああ
