Songs that must be banned OR that speak to you...

[purgatory]

I have my playlist divided into 'sad' and 'happy' songs.... Sometimes I really need a good cry and certain songs can trigger that so I can get it over with quickly... then other times I need to be upbeat so I can go on with my day. These are just a few selections from the 2 playlists:



Happy:

Just Fine, Mary J Blige
…. No time for moping around, are you kidding/ And no time for negative vibes, cause I’m winning/ It’s been a long week I put in my hardest/ Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right/ So I like what I see when I’m looking at me when I’m walking past a mirror/ Don’t stress thought the night at a time in my life and worried about if you feelin’/ Got my head on right, got my vibe right I ain’t gonna let you kill it/ See I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine.

Make Yourself, Incubus
…. If you let them make you, make you paper mache/ At a distance you’re stong, until the wind comes/ The you crumble and blow away/…..you should make amends with you/ And falling for better help/ but if you really want to live/ Why not try and make yourself

What doesn’t kill You, Kelly Clarkson (I’m sure I will be ridiculed for liking an American Idol, oh well)
…. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger/ Stand a little taller/ Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone/ What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter/ Footsteps even lighter/ doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone/ What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger/ Just me, myself and I/ What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…

What do You Want from Me, Adam Lambert (I swear I never watched American Idol!)
…. There might have been a time when I would let you slip away/ I wouldn’t even try, but I think you could save my life/ But now, here we are/ So what do you want from me/ Just don’t give up, I’m working 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/ What do you want from me

Sad:

The Space Between, Dave Matthews
…. But I’ve got all the time for you love/ the space between the tears we cry, Is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more/ the space between the wicked lies we tell and hope to keep safe from the pain/ but will I hold you again? ....the space between your heart and mine is the space we fill with time.
White Flag, Dido
…. I will go down with this ship/ I won’t put my hands up and surrender/ there will be no white flag above my door/ I’m in love, and always will be…
How, Maroon 5
…. Though I don’t understand the meaning of love, I do not mind if I die tryin’/ took you for granted when you lifted me up/ I’m asking for your help, I am going through he!!/ Afraid nothing can save me but the sound of your voice/ You cut out all the noise and now that I can see mistakes so clearly now/ I’d kill if I could take you back/ but how?
The Air that I Breathe, Maroon 5
.... It’s changing the way things were for the way that they should be/ It’s choosing these words, to saying her/ The things that she never heard, but always deserved/ I’ve figured out what it is all about/It’s you that I could never live without/You’re everything/ The air that I breathe/ Stupid not to know it all along/ And everything I ever did was wrong/ Sadly it’s too late for sorry.

Cry, Kelly Clarkson
If anyone asks, I’ll tell them we both just moved on/ When people all stare, I’ll pretend that I don’t hear them talk/ Whenever I see you, I’ll swallow pride/ Pretend I’m ok with it all/ Act like there’s nothing wrong

Chorus:
Is it over yet
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?

If anyone asks, I’ll tell them we just grew apart/ What do I care if they believe me or not/ Whenever I feel your memory is breaking my heart/ I’ll pretend I’m ok with it all/ Act like there’s nothing wrong

Chorus

I’m talking in circles/ I’m lying, they know it/ Why this won’t this just stop?!
