sometimes we fall down, can't get back up...

My current song obsessions:

When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.
When it's in your spine like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
Where the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless.
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

I will stay.
Nobody will break you,
Yeah.

Trust in me, trust in me.
Don't pull away
Trust in me, trust in me.
I'm just trying to keep this together, because I could do worse and you could do better

Tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you



'Beside You'
~Marianas Trench

(Beautiful lyrics! And I &hearts&hearts&hearts the OH-EH-OH-EH-OH-OOHs... makes my heart swell everytime.)

Hey, slow it down
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
Yeah, I’m afraid
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?

There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
Oooh, once upon a time I didn’t give a damn
But now, here we are, so whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?

Just don’t give up, I’m workin' it out
Please don’t give in, I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around...
Hey, whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?

Yeah, it’s plain to see
That, baby, you’re beautiful
And there's nothing wrong with you
It’s me; I’m a freak
But thanks for lovin’ me
Cause you’re doing it perfectly

Yeah, there might have been a time
When I would let you step away
I wouldn’t even try
But I think you could save my life

Just don’t give up, I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in, I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep comin' around
Hey, whataya want from me
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?


'Whataya Want From Me?'
~Adam Lambert


(I happen to know that Pink wrote this song, and, well, of course she did. Her songs always get to me. Adam sing this one beautifully. If you haven't seen him perform this on Ellen, you really need to. Gorgeous performance. His voice gives me shivers. I'm so glad Adam exists!! Never leave, ADAM!!)
