⤹ those song lyrics that holds so much meaning to you.

• black roses — clare bowen

i can see your eyes staring into mine. but it's a battlefield, and you're on the other side. you can throw your words sharper than a knife and leave me cold in another house on fire. i lay low, lay low. and i watch the bridges burn. i lay low, lay low, what more could i have done? now you only bring me black roses and they crumble in the dust when they're held. now you only bring me black roses under your spell. she told me twice, all her good advice, but i couldn't see i was clouded by your lies. up in smoke, a vision she foretold. she said stay away ' cause that boy's a warning sign. and i'm done tryn'na be the one, picking up the broken pieces. and i'm done try'na be the one, who says i love you dear, but i'm leaving..

• all the magic — karliene

is there light beyond the storm? i've heard of stars, beyond the grey skies. i couldn't see byond my own face, the day the mirror became a blade. and all that anger and all that pain, sparked the power of who i became. i paid in blood so i'd be beautiful, i found my power in chaos. but all that magic is illusional, it's not enough, it's not enough. i gave it all so i'd be powerful, i learnt to master my chaos. but all the magic in the whole, wide world, it's not enough, it's not enough. it can't return the part i lost. all i wanted was a bit of love, to be wanted by someone. but my world is cruel it's unrelenting, if you're not cruel too you won't survive it. all that rejection and all that pain.

• we will go home — leah

land of bear and land of eagle. land that gave us birth and blessing. land that called us ever homewards. we will go home across the mountains. we will go home, we will go home. land of freedom land of heroes. land that gave us hope and memories. hear our singing hear our longing. we will go home across the mountains. when the land is there before us, we have gone home across the mountains. we will go home, we will go home. we will go home singing our song.

• part of me, part of you — glenn frey

i can hear it when i stand beside the river. i can see it when i look up in the sky. i can feel it when i hear that lonesome highway. so many miles to go before i die. we can never know about tomorrow. still we have to choose which way to go. you and i are standing at the crossroads. darling, there is one thing you should know... you're part of me, i'm a part of you. wherever we may travel, whatever we go through. you and i will always be together, from this day on you'll never walk alone.

• skid row - wasted time

you and i together in our lives. sacred ties would never fray. then why can i let myself tell lies, and watch you die every day? i think back to the times when dreams were what mattered, tough-talking youth naivete. you said you'd never let me down but the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation. is it all just wasted time? can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind. is it all just wasted time? can you live with yourself when you think of what you've left behind? paranoid delusions, they haunt you where's my friend i used to know? he's all alone, he's buried deep within a carcass searching for a soul. can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding? why can't you believe you can be loved? the sun will rise again, the earth will turn to sand, creation's colors seem to fade to grey. and you'll see the sickly hands of time, will write your final rhyme and end our memory. yeah i never thought you'd let it get this far, boy, oh, I never thought, i never thought you'd let it get this far, boy.

• the greatest showman - this is me

i am not a stranger to the dark "hide away," they say "cause we don't want your broken parts." i've learned to be ashamed of all my scars, "run away," they say nNo one'll love you as you are." but i won't let them break me down to dust, i know that there's a place for us, for we are glorious. when the sharpest words wanna cut me down i'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out. i am brave, i am bruised, i am who i'm meant to be, this is me. look out 'cause here i come and i'm marching on to the beat i drum. i'm not scared to be seen i make no apologies, this is me. another round of bullets hits my skin. well, fire away 'cause today, i won't let the shame sink in. we are bursting through the barricades and reaching for the sun (we are warriors). yeah, that's what we've become. and i know that i deserve your love, there's nothing i'm not worthy of (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh) when the sharpest words wanna cut me down i'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out. this is brave, this is bruised this is who I'm meant to be, this is me.

• adam lambert - there i said it

uou say you want the truth, but you can't take it. so i give you lies, i give you lies. you say you want the best but you destroy it. so i keep it inside, i keep it inside. i'll tell ya something it's a double-edged sword you're giving and i can't see the truth in living when we hide behind a wall of fear. and you don't see it it's a twisted dream you believe in, and what's the use in pretending? let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear. so there i said it and i won't apologize to you anymore. 'cause i'm a grown-ass man and i won't live again and i'm sick and tired of living in your shadow. so there I said it! won't apologize to you anymore 'cause I'm a grown-ass man and i don't understand why i should be living in the shadows, so there i said it. you wanna hear my voice, my mind, my demons. but not too much or you'll give up.

• adam lambert - sleepwalker

i saw a picture of you hanging in an empty hallway, i heard a voice that i knew and i couldn't walk away. it took me back to the end if everything, i tasted all, i tasted all the tears, again. outside the rain is pouring down, there's not a drop that hits me. scream at the sky but no sound is leaving my lips. it's like i can't even feel after the way you touched me. i'm not asleep, i'm not awake, after the way you loved me. everywhere that i go i see another memory and all the places we used to know they're always there to haunt me. i walk around and i feel so lost and lonely, you're everything that i want but you don't want me. i can't turn this around, i keep running into walls that i can't break down. i said; i just wander around with my eyes wide shut because of you. i'm a sleep walker, walker, i'm a sleep walker, walker. let me out of this dream, dream (oh-oh) let me out of this dream.

• lady gaga - always remember us this way

that arizona sky burnin' in your eyes. you look at me and, babe, i wanna catch on fire. it's buried in my soul like california gold, you found the light in me that i couldn't find. so when i'm all choked up but i can't find the words. every time we say goodbye baby, it hurts. when the sun goes down and the band won't play i'll always remember us this way. lovers in the night, poets tryin' to write. we don't know how to rhyme but, damn, we try. but all i really know, you're where i wanna go, the part of me that's you will never die. oh, yeah, i don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah (hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)

• lady gaga - i'll never love again

wish i could, i could've said goodbye. i would've said what i wanted to maybe even cried for you. if i knew it would be the last time i would've broke my heart in two tryna save a part of you. don't wanna feel another touch, don't wanna start another fire, don't wanna know another kiss, no other name fallin' off my lips. don't wanna give my heart away, to another stranger or let another day begin, won't even let the sunlight in. no, i'll never love again. i'll never love again (oh, oh, oh, oh). when we first met, i never thought that i would fall. i never thought that i'd find myself lying in your arms, mm, mm. and i wanna pretend that it's not true, oh, baby, that you're gone, 'cause my world keeps turnin', and turnin', and turnin', and i'm not movin' on. i don't wanna know this feelin', unless it's you and me. i don't wanna waste a moment, ooh. and i don't wanna give somebody else the better part of me, i would rather wait for you, ooh.

• kansas - the pinnacle

i've so much to say and yet i cannot speak. come and do my bidding now for i have grown too weak. my weary eyes have seen all that life can give. come to me, o young one, for you i can forgive. i stood where no man goes and conquered demon foes, with glory and passion no longer in fashion the hero breaks his blade. cast this shadow long that i may hide my face and in this cloak of darkness the world i will embrace. in all that i endure of one thing i am sure, knowledge and reason change like the season, a jester's promenade.
