Lyrics of the last year

Have you every listened to a cd (or two) and realized that many of the songs 
apply to you?  Maybe they just apply to how you feel that day, or to a specific 
event you've gone through.  I have.  Skillet's new cd Awake, and Thousand 
Foot Krutch's new cd The Flame in All of Us, both have songs that I listen to 
over and over again, because I can relate.  So here they are, I know it is a lot 
of reading, but this is the easiest way to explain how I feel and what I've gone 
through.  Some are just excerpts, and I've put the song titlesbelow, if you would 
like to listen to the song to get a better feel for it.

Let’s get the story straight

You were a poison

You flooded through my veins

You left me broken

You tried to make me think

That the blame was all on me

With the pain you put me through

And now I know that it’s not me it’s you

It’s not me it’s you

Always has been you

All the lies and stupid things you say and do

It’s you

It’s not me it’s you

All the lies and pain you put me through

I know that it’s not me it’s you

So here we go again

The same fight we’re always in

I don’t care so why pretend

Wake me when your lecture ends

You tried to make me small

Make me fall and it’s all your fault

With the pain you put me through

Skillet - It's Not Me its You

The secret side of me

I never let you see

I keep it caged but I can't control it

So stay away from me

The beast is ugly

I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

Skillet - Monster

Forgive me now cause I

Have been unfaithful

Don't ask me why cause I don't know

So many times I tried

But was unable

But this heart belongs to you alone

Now I'm alone in our secret place

Alone in your embrace

Where all my wrongs have been erased

You have forgiven

All the promises and lies

All the times I compromise

All the times you were denied

You have forgiven

Forgive me I'm ashamed

I've loved another

I can't explain because I don't know

No one can take your place

And there is no other

Forever yours and yours alone

I get down on my hands and knees

Feel your love wash over me

There will never be another

You're the only one forever

And you know I'm yours alone

Skillet - Forgiven

I don’t want to play these games,

Your strength has helped me make the change,

Catch me if I fall from grace…

I don’t want to play your games,

‘Cause lonely was a safer place,

Catch me if I fall from grace…

Take the time, to learn to breathe,

‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,

When did we, all fall asleep?

Won’t someone wake us?

Take the time, to learn to breathe,

‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,

Help us see, what’s underneath

I wanna take you, wanna break you,

Wanna make you, feel like I do,

I wanna take you, wanna shake you,

Wanna make you know what it’s like

I won’t fight you, I’m not like you,

I wanna make you see what I see,

I won’t fight you, I’m not like you,

I wanna make you feel like I do

Thousand Foot Krutch - Learn to Breathe

Sometimes I don’t wanna be better

Sometimes I can’t be put back together

Sometimes I find it hard to believe

There’s someone else who could be

Just as messed up as me

I want someone to hurt

Like the way I hurt

It’s sick but it makes me feel better

Skillet - Sometimes

Do you know what it’s like when

You’re scared to see yourself

Do you know what it’s like when

You wish you were someone else

Who didn’t need your help to get by

Do you know what it’s like

To wanna surrender

I don’t wanna feel like this tomorrow

I don’t wanna live like this today

Make me feel better

I wanna feel better

Stay with me here

And never surrender

Skillet - Never Surrender

And as a side note, sorry I haven't gotten pics up for the Spontaneity post yet, I'm still waiting to get them. They are coming as soon as possible!!
