Lord knows that it would take
Another place, another time
Another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye
—“Best Thing I Never Had,” Beyonce
Knew you’d love me forever
Before I ever knew better
—“Before I Ever Knew Better,” Sara Bareilles
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
—“How To Save A Life,” The Fray
I don’t know why I waste my time
Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it’s a lovely day
—“Snowed Under,” Keane
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
—“Chasing Cars,” Snow Patrol
rumor has it he’s the one I’m leaving you for
Scar tissue that I wish you saw,
Sarcastic Mr. Know-It-All
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ‘cause
With the birds I’ll share,
With the birds I’ll share this lonely view.
—“Scar Tissue,” Red Hot Chili Peppers
And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
—“Mad World,” Alex Parks
And winters come, and my love, the winters go
And time stacks up in piles like winter snow
And everything you love and hold so dear
Won’t really matter when we disappear
—“Men Of Snow,” Ingrid Michaelson
Some claim to have the fortitude
Too shrewd to blow the interlude
Sustaining pain to set a mood
Step out to be renewed
—“Tell Me Baby,” Red Hot Chili Peppers
Tell me lover, are you lonely?
The thing we need is never all that hard to find
—“Tell Me Baby,” Red Hot Chili Peppers
Give me a reason to fall in love
Take my hand and let’s dance
Give me a reason to make me smile
‘Cause I think I forgot how
—“Reasons to Fall in Love,” Meiko
