"It'll Be Okay" by Limp Bizkit

For Lost Mortals, despite everything, it'll be okay:



I just read your letter,
It says that you'll be gone for awhile.
Don't you think t'was getting better,
I guess I'm just a fool strung-out

What to do?
Life is through
Just wanna kill myself for you.

I wonder, just how sympatic you'll be?
You've come to take me under,
And I've forgotten all about me

What to do?
Life is through.
Just wanna kill myself for you.
So tell me why
You say goodbye.
And tell me why
YOUR FUCKING UP MY WHOLE LIFE!

Yeah,
Fuckin' up my whole life,
So I'm on my way,
I leave today,
If I get away,
It'll be okay.
It'll be okay.

I'm looking out a window,
Into a world that's taken you from me
And I'm feeling so disgusted,
How pathetic can I possibly be?

What to do?
Life is through.
Just wanna kill myself for you.
So tell me why
You say goodbye
And tell me why
YOUR FUCKIN' UP MY WHOLE LIFE!

Yeah,
Fuckin' up my whole life.
So I'm on my way,
I leave today,
If I get away,
It'll be okay
It'll be okay

If there's a better place you can take me,
Better life you can give me.
Whatever place I can start all over.
And I would never need what you gave me.
Never need you to save me.
And never feel like this life is over.

If there's a better place you can take me,
Better life you can give me
Whatever place I can start all over
And I would never need what you gave me
Never need you to save me
And never feel like this life is over
Feel like this life is over.

So I'm on my way,
I leave today,
If I get away,
It'll be okay.
It'll be okay.

"Back On the Chain Gang" by the Pretenders

An "acoustic" version:



I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of? oh oh oh oh
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh
The phone, the tv and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you
But I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part

I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh oh oh oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now we're back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

"Boiler" by Limp Bizkit

The nightmare of PMS:

Looks like I'm gonna do everything myself
Maybe I could use some help but hell,
You want something done right, you gotta do it yourself
Maybe life is up and down but my life's been (what?) 'til now
I crawled up your butt somehow and that's when things got turned around
I used to be alive
Now I feel pathetic and now I get it
What's done is done you just leave it alone and don't regret it
But sometimes, some things turn into dumb things
And that's when you put your foot down

Why did I have to go and meet somebody like you? (like you)
Why did you have to go and hurt somebody like me? (like me)
How could you do somebody like that? (like that)
Hope you know that I'm never coming back (never coming back)

Looks like I'm gonna do everything myself (everything myself)
Maybe I could use some help but hell,
If you want something done right, you just do it yourself (got it?)
Maybe life is up and down but my life's been (what?)
Til now (got it) I crawled up your butt somehow (got it)
And that's when shit got turned around (got it)
I used to be alive, I'm so pathetic but now I get it, what's done is done
I know you, just leave it alone and don't regret it
But sometimes some things turn into dumb things
And that's when you put your foot down.

Why did I have to meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
Hope you know that I'm never comin' back

Why did I have to meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
Hope you know that I'm never comin' back

Depending on you is done, giving to you is done
No more eating, no sleeping, no living, it's all just more giving to you and I'm done
Depending on you is done, giving to you is done
No more reaching, no sleeping, no living, it's all just more giving to you and I'm done
The hiding from you is done, the lying from you is done
No more eating, no more sleeping, no living, it's all just more giving to you and I'm done

Why did I have to meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
I hope you know that I'm never coming back

Why did I have to meet somebody like you?
Why did you have to hurt somebody like me?
How could you do somebody like that?
I hope you know that I'm never coming back
Why? Why? Why?

"Goodbye To You" by Scandal

Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know you never got by "I feel it too"
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you?
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you?
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Goodbye baby
So long darling
Goodbye to you

"My Favorite Mistake" by Sheryl Crow

I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore

I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone

Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake

Your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game

Now here comes your secret lover
She'd be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames

Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake

You're my favorite mistake

Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after
It's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way

Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved
Now everything's so wrong

Did you see me walking by?
Did it ever make you cry?

You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

"Sorry" by Buckcherry

Oh I had a lot to say
Was thinking all my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
Cause everything inside
It never comes out right
And when I see you cry
It makes me want to die

I'm sorry I'm bad,
I'm sorry I'm blue,
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss,
I love all you're sounds,
And baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say
I'm sorry

This time
I think I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame

Cause everything inside
It never comes out right
And when I see you cry
It makes me want to die

I'm sorry I'm bad,
I'm sorry I'm blue,
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss,
I love all you're sounds,
And baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say
I'm sorry

Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry!

I'm sorry I'm bad,
I'm sorry I'm blue,
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss,
I love all you're sounds,
And baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say
I'm sorry

I'm sorry baby
I'm sorry baby
I'm sorry
