Lyric of the Day

[Reclaimed_A1]

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

[Reclaimed_A1]

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

[SleepyBeav]

More sleepless nights, your conscience rouses you
Self-medicate, so you can make it through
Every day goes by at a slow and sickly pace
You chose to live a lie, now it can't be erased

[rbn]

I wake up
on the floor
start it up again
like it matters anymore

I don't know
if it does
is this really all
that there ever was

put the gun
in my mouth
close your eyes
blow my fucking brains out

pretty patterns
on the floor
there's enough for you
but I still need more, more, more

[SleepyBeav]

When hurt and lies become the currency
All it buys us is more tragedy
Hide behind the veil of ignorance
But every action has a consequence

You're breaking up, the clock is running out
Guilt eats you alive and fills your soul with doubt
Brought to your knees by what you did and said
The echos linger on, resounding in your head

[rbn]

there is a place
that I know
it's not pretty there and
few have ever gone
if I show it to you now
will it make you run away?
or will you stay?
even if it hurts
even if i try to push you out
will you return
and remind me who i really am
please remind me who I really am

everybody's got a dark side
do you love me?
can you love mine?
nobody's a picture perfect
but we're worth it
you know that we're worth it
will you love me?
even with my dark side?

[SleepyBeav]

You're on the other side of the wall from me
But I can hear you crying
I'm on the other side of the wall from you
And a piece of me is dying

[Reclaimed_A1]

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way (isn't that what being a man is supposed to be?)

[Reclaimed_A1]

Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl (RIP Tom)

[Wallingford]

I'd like to have my guesses back
that I based on all those facts
that ain't necessarily so.
