amezriFrell it. I'm not even going to try anymore.
What I choose to do is of no concern to you and your friends
Where I lay my hat may not be my home, but I will last on my own
'Cause it's me, and my life
it's my life
...
Oh the world has sat in the palm of my hand not that you'd see
and I'm tired and bored of waiting for you and all those things you never do
...
'Cause it's me, and my life
it's my life
-- Dido, "My Life"
i am not a pretty girl
that is not what i do
i ain't no damsel in distress
and i don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
...
i am not an angry girl
but it seems like i've got everyone fooled
every time i say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear
...
and i am sorry
i am not a maiden fair
and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
...
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if i knew that and i called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up
-- Ani DiFranco, "Not a Pretty Girl"
Told myself for a long time
Don't go there
You will only be sorry
Told myself so many times
I just had to take a look
in those faraway eyes
...
Do you know what I mean?
And have you seen it too?
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know?
And I'll do anything
Just tell me what it means
Cause I can't live in doubt anymore
...
If you'd rather be somewhere
that's not here
then you just gotta tell me
Cause there's so much more to life
than pretending
-- Maaya Sakamoto, "Vector"
Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you
---
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you
...
And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon
-- Bic Runga, "Sway"
i won't be your soft one
i won't be encircled
you might become something i need
...
and you must not
must not get closer
couldn't I go away
with the dust of your words in my mouth?
...
don't show me your weakness
i can't rely on you to know my soul
don't show me your weakness
i might become something you need
something you need
something you need to destroy
-- THC, "Need to Destroy"
I know why you're waiting
Give me time to breathe
Before you take my heart now
And just get up and leave
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
...
For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a part of us
You know it's worthless
As worthless can be
-- Dido, "Worthless
20,000 seconds since you've left and I'm still counting
And 20,000 reasons to get up, get something done
But I'm still waiting
Is someone kind enough to
Pick me up and give me food, assure me that the world is good
But you should be here, you should be here
...
And we're all so strong when nothing's wrong
And the world is at our feet
But how small we are when our love is far away
And all you need is you
