Sometimes...at times...part deux.

My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I cant hide the marks
Its not a negative thing
So I let down my guard
Drop my defences down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface
Without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily

I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine too
But if I never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So im learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface
Without moving me underneath
I bruise easily

Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface
Without moving me underneath
I bruise easily

by Natasha Bedingfield, Andrew Frampton, Wayne Wilkins and Paul Herman

Sometimes...at times...

I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over,
If I'm wrong I am right,
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust,
I know this is love but,

If I tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you,
And that's exactly what I need to do,
If I'm in love with you,

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Waiting as my heart drops,
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

by Adele Adkins

Another good track from the Brits

Is it me or the Brits continue to produce good music...or i'm just tired of hip hop and pussycat dolls.

Here's a great track from Will Young, Let It Go.

The video to this track was just released but i've yet able to find it in You Tube. Will embed here once i have it.

In the meanwhile, here are the lyrics. I really love the chorus.

I have never been afraid of being alone
It's somehow typical of being a man - I know
But I woke in the night
My body full of fright
Could I provide for you?
Everything you've ever wanted
Could I really be the man I promised I would be
And support you tenderly

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
'Cause it's out of my control
Let it go let it go
Don't have to have it all
Grips so tight it shatters
Only thing that matters
Only got one life
Heaven knows
What I'm stressing for
Let it go let it go

It's the simple things in life that bring me down
Like always being right
It leads to fights - oh no no
I'm running low on energy
The world keeps bugging me
And I keep thinking baby
How we gonna stay together
Can I really make a vow I'm never gonna keep
See that's what's bothering me - eee - eee

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
'Cause it's out of my control
Let it go
Let it go
Don't have to have it all
Grips so tight it shatters
Only thing that matters
Only got one life
Heaven knows
What I'm stressing for
I've let it go

I know you tell me that I always think too much
And all that stupid stuff
Well, I've thought enough

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
'Cause it's out of my control

Don't have to have it all
Grips so tight it shatters
Only thing that matters
Only got one life
Heaven knows
What I'm stressing for
Let it go
Let it go

lyrics

Where we’re heading is anybody’s guess
All that’s left is one big beautiful mess
We’ll get over it someday we’ll forget
All that’s left is one big beautiful mess
(Andy Connell, Corinne Drewery)

Just Stand Up

The heart is stronger than you think
It’s like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, though

Sometimes you want to run away
Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it look into
your heart the beat goes on

I’m tellin’ you that Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up

Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle
You need to know

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

It’s like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face
Just because you go through it
Don’t mean it got to take control, no
You ain’t gotta find no hiding place
Because the heart can beat the hate
Don’t wanna let your mind keep playin’ you
And sayin’ you can’t go on

I’m tellin’ you that Things get better
Through whatever If you fall
Dust if off, don’t let up
Don’t you know you Can go
Be your own Miracle
You need to know

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind
If you fall, dust it off
You can live your life
Let your heart be your guide
And you will know that you’re good if you trust in the good
Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart
And it will get better Through whatever

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

You got it in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now

THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

WYSIWYG!

If I had one chance to In my life again
I wouldn't make no changes Now or way back when
And if everything turns out The way I hope it goes
But I cant wait to find out What it is that God knows

But I don't wanna think about What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day 'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real guy
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little boy
I know exactly who I am

And nothing's ever perfect There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers It would put my mind at ease
So I'll just keep on going The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up Tryin' to catch a fallin star

But I don't wanna think about What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day 'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real guy
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little boy
I know exactly who I am

This is who I am
Don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
It wont be long til you know about me,
'Cause I don't give a ....
Even when I'm out of love
'Cause everythings just how it should be
And it wont be long till you know about me

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real guy
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little boy
I know exactly who I am


I love this song. Though it's not new but i finally bought the track and the remixes yesterday night and had been playing it over and over. It just made Lenny Kravitz's 'It ain't over till it's over' so much appealing again. While you might said having a song completely sample over another song is not unique or lack of originality but then if it works, it works. Another good example being PM Dawn's track 'Set Adrift on Memory Bliss' which built around Spandau Ballet's True and of course, Madonna almost built her Hung Up fully on ABBA's Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Too soon to be singing to this but...

Better In Time
Written by J. R. Rotem and Andrea Martin
Slight revision by JT

It's been the longest winter without you
I didnt know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through
go in, come in, thought i heard a knock, who's there? no one
Thinking that i deserved it
now i realize that i really didn't know
you didn't notice, you mean everything
quickly i have to learn to love again
all i know is, i'll be ok

thought i couldn't live without you
it's gonna hurt when it heals too
Hope it'll all get better in time
even though i really love you
i'll have to smile cause i believed i deserve to
it'll all get better in time

how could i turn on the tv without something there to remind me
was it all that easy to just put aside your feelings?
if i'm dreaming don't wanna let it hurt my feelings
but thats the path i believe in
and i know that, time will heal it
you didn't notice, well you mean everything
quickly i have to learn to love again
all i know is, i'll be ok

thought i couldn't live without you
it's gonna hurt when it heals too
Hope it'll all get better in time
even though i really love you
i'll have to smile cause i believed i deserve to
it'll all get better in time

since there's no more you and me
i had to let time to teach me to let you go so i can be free
and live my life how it should have been
no matter how hard it is i'll be fine without you
hope i will

thought i couldn't live without you
it's gonna hurt when it heals too
Hope it'll all get better in time
even though i really love you
i'll have to smile cause i believed i deserve to
it'll all get better in time

Freckles

A friend of mine share this track recently and now i'm very much in love with this song.
Some of the songs from Natasha is really great...so here's the main lyrics to Freckles. Reminds me that i need to share this song with my friend Chris.

I used to care so much about what others think about
Almost didn’t have a thought of my own
The slightest remark would make me embark
On the journey of self doubt But that was a while ago

This girl has got stronger
If I knew then what I know now
I would have told myself don’t worry any longer it's OK

'cause a face without freckles is like a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines
With the whole world full at my feet
I phantom worthy and would blame my failures on the ugliness I could see
When the mirror looked at me Sometimes I feel like the little girl who doesn’t belong in her own world
But I'm getting better And I'm reminding myself

'cause a face without freckles is like a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

Forgiveness...

(written by Don Henley?)

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness, Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness, Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore

Reflections

This is one of the few songs currently being played to death on my mobile. It's really a nice song with very meaningful lyrics. I believed this is the song that Madonna wrote about her relationship with Guy and which somehow do reflect normal couples...that we are always much better when miles apart. So here's the lyrics for you to crunch.

I just woke up from a fuzzy dream
You never would believe those things that I had seen
I looked in the mirror and I saw your face
You looked right through me, you were miles away
All my dreams they fade away I'll never be the same
If you could see me the way you see yourself
I can't pretend to be someone else

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away
So far away…So far away

When no one's around then I have you here
I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear
You always have the biggest heart, When we're six thousand miles apart
Too much of no sound Uncomfortable silence can be so loud
Those three words are never enough When it's long distance love

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we’re at our best when we're miles away
So far away…So far away

I'm alright, don't be sorry, but it's true
When I'm gone you'll realize
That I'm the best thing that happened to you
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away
So far away

This phrase keeps poppin'

"you'll always be a part of me...i'm part of you indefinitely"

guess the song!

Dedicated to a friend......

All your bags are packed, I guess you’re ready to go

But the dawn is breakin, It’s early morn

The taxis waitin’, He’s blowin his horn

Already I’m so lonesome, I could die

I’ll hug you and smile for you Tell you that I’ll think of thee

Hold you (in memory) and I’ll never let you go

cause you’re leavin’ on a jet plane

Dont know when you’ll be back again

Oh babe, I hate (to see you) go

Now the time has come to leave you One more time Let me hug you

Then close my eyes, We’ll be on our (separate) ways

Dream about the days to come When I had to be alone

About if there will be anymore 'Millenium' times
Oh, hug me and smile for me

Tell you that I’ll think of thee

Hold you (in memory) and I’ll never let you go

cause you’re leavin’ on a jet plane

Don't know when you’ll be back again

Oh babe, I hate (to see you) go

But, you’re leavin’ on a jet plane
You’re leavin’ on a jet plane
Leavin’ on a jet plane
Leavin’…..

Lyrics Galore Part 2

totally siphon this from another blog. good lyrics but not sure how's the song sounds like. But I hope I can use these lines one of these days....

Giving up, why should I
I've come too far to forget
We're beautiful, we just got lost Somewhere along the way
So much was missing when you went away
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn′t seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here

Standing here face to face
A finger on your lips
Don't say a word don't make a sound
Silence surrounds us now
Even when you were gone I felt you everywhere
I've never been the one to open up
But you've always been the voice within
The only warmth from my cold heart

Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn't seem to keep
I don't care where we go Let's start from here

Lyrics Galore Part 1

This is the lyrics to I Am...I Said, the song that Brooke White sang on American Idol which got her voted out. Poor gal. I also change the lyrics a bit to reflect me...

Bangkok's fine, sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Traffic continues to grow and the rents are (bloody) high
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back

Well, I'm KL City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
Bangkok's fine, but it ain't home
KL's home but it ain't mine (somehow) no more

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

I am, I said
I am, I cried
I am...

泪也干了

心若倦了 泪也干了
这份深情难舍难了
曾经拥有 天荒地老
已不见你 暮暮与朝朝

这一份情 永远难了
愿来生还能再度拥抱
爱一个人 如何斯守到老
怎样面对一切 我不知道

回忆过去痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来拨动我心跳
爱你怎么能了
今夜的你应该明了
缘难了情难了

BLEEDING LOVE

Closed off from love I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass Before you know it, you're frozen
But something happened For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground Found something true
And everyone's looking round Thinking I'm going crazy



But I don't care what they say I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I Keep bleeding love



Trying hard not to hear But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that their goal is to keep me from falling
But nothing's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe...



But I don't care what they say I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I Keep bleeding love

And it's draining all of me, they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see


But I don't care what they say I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I........

original composition by Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney

Should we...?

Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never gonna be the same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever in your hands

Change

You don't see it coming...Change
When the future comes knocking...It changed
It can make you and break you too
You just have to make it through

Change!
