Sarah McLachlan - Aida
Adia I do believe I failed you Adia I know I’vd let you down don’t you know I tried so hard to love you in my way it’s easy let it go… Adia I’m empty since you left me trying to find a way to carry on I search myself and everyone to see where we went wrong there’s no one left to finger there’s no one here to blame there’s no one left to talk to,...

John Mayer - Who Says?
I don’t remember you looking any better But then again, I don’t remember you
Relient K - Over It
I’m over it Yeah behind me now I’m just over it Over it Yeah I’m finding out I’m just over it No I don’t know what’s over just yet But I won’t go slow and time can let the mind forget Don’t tell me you don’t know Already Don’t tell me you let go Already Don’t tell me you don’t know
Jars Of Clay - Flood
But if I can’t swim after forty days and my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me up Lift me up - when I’m falling Lift me up - I’m weak and I’m dying Lift me up - I need you to hold me Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again
Greg Laswell - Not Out
And I’m sure that I am tangled up in things you said out loud to me So recklessly, And it’s easier to sing the things I wanna say to you, So I’ll sing, you’re losing me my love, You’re losing me my love, Are you losing me my love?
Greg Laswell - This Woman's Work
I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left. I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left. I should be crying, but I just can’t let it go, I should be hoping, but I can’t stop thinking Of all the things we should’ve said, That were never said. All the things we should’ve done, But we never did. And All...
Lady Gaga - Alejandro

Jason Walker - Down
I shot for the sky I’m stuck on the ground So why do I try? I know I’m gonna fall down I thought I could fly So why did I drown? I’ll never know why It’s coming down
John Mayer - Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it’s nothing to me Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw I’ll make the most of all the sadness You’ll be a bitch because you can You try to hit me just to hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty Because you can’t understand
Jets Overheard - Where Did You Go?
Math is running through my head Wondering if she’s dead Did she say a quarter past The hands can’t move too fast Stop to think and look within Ordinary sins Think you must have heard her wrong ‘Cause she wasn’t gone that long Where did you go? Oh, I don’t wanna know Where did you go? Oh, I don’t wanna know Where did you go? Oh, I don’t wanna know Looking...
Immoor - Bows And Arrows
If it’s the same story I’ll tell you again, but Finding the pieces may prove The battle that I can’t win I followed every instruction to a tee But still somehow when I look in the mirror I still don’t see me Bows and arrows will be our best friends While we shoot these words at each other Can’t find time to redraw these lines in the sand I’ll come out when the...
Matthew Good - On Nights Like Tonight
On nights like tonight when no one’s around I turn off the lights and I float off the ground And I smile like I used to when you were around

Barenaked Ladies - Too Little Too Late
You say, “Why does everything revolve around you?” You say, “Why does everything I do confound you?” You say that I pulled the world from under you, You can’t go through it this time And I could be good, and I would - If I knew I was understood And it’ll be great, just wait - Or is it too little too late? One day, this embarrassment will fade behind me And that...

City & Colour - Constant Knot
How much would you bet That if I tried hard enough I would spontaneously combust I wish I could disappear And run away from all of my fears I think I’m coming undone
Chevelle - Panic Prone
Gave in Again The bastard Can’t keep refusing rights So he’ll loan the cash But the sin Is on the hands of you So to care or Plead silence, weak hands are calling There’s close enough And there’s too far It won’t change an empty stare But I can’t seem to end These images Hauntingly looks like hell So to care or Plead silence, weak hands are calling Come, Enter...
City And Colour - Comin' Home
but I understand your sadness so I guess I should just hold my tongue
Mutemath - Pins and Needles
Paper thin conviction, Turning another page, Plotting how to build myself to be Everything that I am not at all. Sometimes I get tired of pins and needles, Facades are a fire on the skin. And I’m growing fond of broken people, As I see that I am one of them. I’m one of them. Oh, why must I work so hard, Just so I can feel like the nobles ones? Obligations to my heart are gone,...

Billy Talent - Surrender
She reads a book from across the street, Waiting for someone that she’ll never meet. Talk over coffee for an hour or two, She wonders why I’m always in a good mood. Killin’ time before she struts her stuff, She needs support and I’ve become the crutch. She’ll never know how much she means to me. I’d play the game but I’m the referee. Surrender...
Coldplay - Violet Hill
So if you love me Why’d you let me go? I took my love down to violet hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still So if you love me Won’t you let me know?
Thornley - All Comes Out In The Wash
I never’d have guessed you and I would be friends I’ll never say never again I’ve spent hours on the phone and all the rest I guess I bleed the best And every night it’s plain to see it wasn’t meant to be After all is said and done, it’s over after all You barely cried as you waved goodbye It all comes out in the wash Who would’ve guessed it would wind up...

Panic At the Disco - She Had The World
She held the world upon a string But she didn’t ever hold me Spun the stars on her fingernails But it never made her happy Cause she couldn’t ever have me She said she won the world at a carnival But she could never win me Cause she couldn’t ever catch me I don’t love you I’m just passing the time You could love me if I knew how to lie But who could love me? I am...

Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Come on skinny love just last the year Pour a little salt we were never here My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer I tell my love to wreck it all Cut out all the ropes and let me fall My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Right in this moment this order’s tall And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And...
Wintersleep - Astronaut
Do you still believe in God? Said the preacher to the astronaut I heard it’s kinda lonesome there Nothing to talk to but a cold, cold air Tell me, tell me what was it like? Did meaning fall from that celestial light? Did it wrap you up in conversation? Did it leave you like some ineffable nothing? Are you feeling alright? In the blink of a flashing, blinding light Are you feeling...
Matthew Good Band - Suburbia
You will come back within yourself You can be art when we melt And I will know what you were for I say we’re leaving There ain’t nothing here at all Another day, a week, the mall And baby if I was in demand You would be mine Someday this place it going to burn Is your whole life in there waiting? Someday your head is going to turn and you’ll realize I’m missing,...

Margot & The Nuclear So And So's - Skeleton Key
I did a sick, sick thing to my love My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up And she cooked me food She squirmed and turned Like a skeleton key She left her man and attended to me And don’t call me that Don’t claim you love me Cause you know that ain’t true My dire affliction I’ll attribute to you And you’re finally free To twist and turn Like a skeleton...
Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton - Our Hell
First went wrong is hard to find, We’re paralyzed, we apologize; our hell is a good life. Last went wrong but where’s my prize, under the lights? Can we call it in? We’ll be on the road. Can we stop? When we stop, My back will turn your face towards the fence. What I thought it was it isn’t now What I thought it was it isn’t now All this weight is honest worse....
City & Colour - Day Old Hate
So lets face it, this was never what you wanted But I know that its fun to pretend Our blank stares and empty threats Are all I have They’re all I have So drown me.. if you can Or we could just have conversation and I fall, I fall, I faulter. I found you before I drift away Now you still speak of day old hate Though your whole world has gone up into flames And isn’t it great to find...
Our Lady Peace - Signs Of Life
Alone in a room Thinking of you and Those possibilities The trouble that I’ve seen This trouble got to me There’s no signs of life in here at all The sound of quiet is deafening I’ll wait for you to call There’s no signs of life in here at all
Alexisonfire - Boiled Frogs
I’m always wishing, I’m always wishing too late For things to come my way It always ends up the same (Count your blessings) I must be missing, I must be missing the point Your signal fades away and all I’m left with is noise (Count your blessings on one hand) So wait up, I’m not sleeping alone again tonight There’s so much to dream about, there must be more to...

Wintersleep - Fog
These broken arms won’t hold you down These ruptured lungs won’t make a sound These syllables won’t bring you back, Won’t stitch the holes, no bones intact and I can’t pretend that you were there and I can’t pretend I held your hand and I miss your smile I miss your smile I need you now I need you now and I am not scared of falling down I am not...
The Bravery - Split Me Wide Open
Split me wide open and look right inside There’s so many things that I tried to hide Oh you see right through me You always see right through me Split me wide open, and cut me in two There’s nothing that I could ever hide from you Oh you always knew me, you’re the only one who knew me Is nothing sacred, is nothing saved? Your gentle eyes like a razor blade They cut me open, you...

Marianas Trench - All To Myself
Don’t patronize I realize I’m losing and this is my real life I’m half asleep and I’m wide-awake this hait is always so hard to break I don’t want to be the bad guy I’ve been blaming myself and I think you know why I’m killing time And time’s killing you Every way that I do Did you say, please just follow me I thought you wanted me because I want you...
Jimmy Eat World - Let It Happen
I have a ringing in my head And no one to help me answer it Even with you close enough to kiss. Every minute is arranged Every moment lasts a day But thinking about it can’t help me let go, I know. Talk, talking a lot, but it’s still talk Gotta love how it’s somehow all on me All the petty scenes And all the pretty things Say whatever you want ‘Cause I can laugh it off. I...
Death Cab For Cutie - Sleep Spent
I can’t expel the truth It’s much more than I thought I could do And with time, my worth will stain And split your heart from my name So drive away your mouth from my ears And waste a day so I can think clearly And what’s left to wait for here As my hands sleep, spent this last year Choking the bottles neck That pulled you from my bed
