cross my heart


fearless; taylor swift

let's say you were drafted to a team that wasn’t your first pick. you know, you don't like the players. you hate the way they play the game. you even think the quarterback is full of crap. the quarterback's a pain in the ass you don't owe a damned thing to. but, it's your team. you don't quit. you don't talk to the press. you don't bitch to the coach. you just, you just go out there every sunday and you make the blocks and you take the hits and you, you play to win. you show up and you suit up and you play, because it's your freaking team.

    If I Let You Go
    Westlife
    Westlife (1999)

    day after day
    time pass away
    and I just can't get you off my mind
    nobody knows
    I hide it inside
    I keep on searching but i can't find

    the courage to show
    to letting you know
    I've never felt so much love before

    and once again I'm thinkin' about
    takin' the easy way out


    but if I let you go
    I will never know
    what my life would be
    holding you close to me

    will I ever see
    you smiling back at me

    oh yeah
    how will I know
    if I let you go


    night after night
    I hear myself say
    why can't this feeling just fade away

    there's no one like you
    you speak to my heart
    it's such a shame
    we're worlds apart


    I'm too shy to ask
    I'm too proud to lose
    but sooner or later I've gotta choose

    and once again
    I'm thinkin' about
    taking the easy way out


    but if I let you go
    I will never know
    what my life would be
    holding you close to me
    will I ever see
    you smiling back at me
    oh yeah
    how will I know
    if I let you go

    if I let you go, oh baby

    oooh

    once again I'm thinkin' about
    takin' the easy way out

    but if I let you go
    I will never know
    what my life would be
    holding you close to me (close to me)
    will I ever see
    you smiling back at me
    oh yeah
    how will I know
    if I let you go

    but if I let you go
    I will never know
    (oh baby)

    will I ever see
    you smiling back at me

    Every time I breathe
    I feel brand new

    You open up my heart
    Show me all your love, and walk right through

    As I lay my love on you

    I was lost in a lonely place
    Could hardly believe it (yeah)
    Holding on to yesterday
    Far, far too long


    Now I believe it's ok cause
    This time it's real


    Repeat Chorus
    I lay my love on you
    It's all I wanna do
    Every time I breathe
    I feel brand new
    You open up my heart
    Show me all your love, and walk right through
    As I lay my love on you

    I never knew that love could feel so good
    Like a once in a lifetime
    You change my world


    I lay my love on you
    You make me feel brand new

    Westlife
    Face to Face (2005)

    I wanna call the stars
    Down from the sky
    I wanna live a day
    That never dies

    I wanna change the world
    Only for you

    All the impossible
    I wanna do


    I wanna hold you close
    Under the rain

    I wanna kiss your smile
    And feel the pain

    I know what's beautiful
    Looking at you

    In a world of lies
    You are the truth


    And baby
    Everytime you touch me
    I become a hero

    I'll make you safe
    No matter where you are

    And bring you
    Everything you ask for
    Nothing is above me
    I'm shining like a candle in the dark
    When you tell me that you love me


    I wanna make you see
    Just what I was

    Show you the loneliness
    And what it does

    You walked into my life
    To stop my tears

    Everything's easy now
    I have you here


    And baby
    Everytime you touch me
    I become a hero
    I'll make you safe
    No matter where you are
    And bring you
    Everything you ask for
    Nothing is above me
    I'm shining like a candle in the dark
    When you tell me that you love me

    In a world without you
    I would always hunger
    All I need is your love to make me stronger


    And baby
    Everytime you touch me
    I become a hero
    I'll make you safe
    No matter where you are
    And bring you
    Everything you ask for
    Nothing is above me
    I'm shining like a candle in the dark
    When you tell me that you love me

    You love me
    When you tell me that you love me

    Crawling Back To You
    Backstreet Boys
    Never Gone (2005)

    Everybody knows
    That I was such a fool
    To ever let go of you

    But baby, I was wrong
    And yeah, I know I said
    We'd be better off alone
    It was time that we moved on

    I know I broke your heart
    I didn't mean to break your heart

    But baby, here I am

    Chorus:
    Banging on your front door
    My pride's spilled on the floor
    My hands and knees are bruised
    And I'm crawling back to you

    Begging for a second chance
    Are you gonna let me in?

    I was running from the truth
    And now I'm crawling back to you


    I know you're in there
    You can make me wait

    But I'm not going to wait
    It's the least that I can do
    Just to tell you face to face
    I was lying to myself (lying to myself)
    Now I'm dying in this hell (dying in this hell)

    Girl, I know you're mad
    I can't blame you for being mad
    But baby, here I am


    Chorus:
    Banging on your front door
    My pride's spilled on the floor
    My hands and knees are bruised
    And now I'm crawling back to you
    Begging for a second chance
    Are you gonna let me in? (let me in)
    I was running from the truth
    And now I'm crawling back to you

    Bridge:
    If you could see these tears I'm crying
    Touch these hands that can't stop shaking
    Hear my heart that's barely beating

    You would see a different man
    But baby, here I am


    Chorus:
    Banging on your front door
    My pride's spilled on the floor
    My hands and knees are bruised
    And I'm crawling back to you
    Begging for a second chance
    Are you gonna let me in? (let me in)
    I was running from the truth
    And now I'm crawling back to you

    Banging on your front door
    My pride's spilled on the floor
    I was running from the truth
    And now I'm crawling back to you (yeah)
    Now I'm crawling back to you (crawling back to you)
    Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)


    Backstreet Boys #2


    Inconsolable
    Backstreet Boys
    Unbreakable (2007)

    I close the door
    Like so many times, so many times before

    Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
    I'm gonna let you walk away tonight
    Without a word


    I try to sleep, yeah
    But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me

    A thousand more regrets unraveling, ohh
    If you were here right now, I swear,
    I´d tell you this


    CHORUS:
    Baby I don't want to waste another day
    Keeping it inside it's killing me

    Cause all i ever want, it comes right down to you
    I'm wishing I could find the words to say
    Baby I would tell you every time you leave
    I'm inconsolable


    I climb the walls
    I can see the edge but I can't take the fall, no.
    I never write the number
    So I cannot make the call

    Maybe 'cause I know you''ll always be with me
    In the possibilities


    CHORUS:
    Baby I don't want to waste another day
    Keeping it inside it's killing me
    Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you
    I'm wishing I could find the words to say
    Baby I would tell you every time you leave
    I'm inconsolable

    I don't want to be like this,
    I just want to let you know,
    Everything that I'm holding,
    Is everything I can't let go, can't let go.


    CHORUS:
    Baby I don't want to waste another day
    Keeping it inside it's killing me
    Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you
    I'm wishing I could find the words to say
    Baby I would tell you every time you leave
    I'm inconsolable

    Don't you know it baby
    I don't want to waste another day

    I'm wishing I could find the words to say
    Baby I would tell you every time you leave
    I'm inconsolable

    Right now you feel like you could never
    Love again

    Now all I ask is for a chance
    To prove that I love you


    From the first day
    That I saw your smiling face
    Honey, I knew that we would
    Be together forever
    Ooh when I asked you out
    You said no but I found out
    Darling that you'd been hurt
    You felt like you'd never love again

    Give me a chance and I'll
    prove this all wrong

    You walked in, you were so quick to judge
    But honey he's nothing like me


    [ Chorus: ]
    I'll never break your heart
    I'll never make you cry
    I'd rather die than live without you
    I'll give you all of me

    Honey, that's no lie
    I'll never break your heart
    I'll never make you cry
    I'd rather die than live without you
    I'll give you all of me
    [ 2x ]

    As time goes by
    You will get to know me

    A little more better
    Girl that's the way love goes baby, baby
    And I (I) know you're afraid
    (know you're afraid)
    To let your feelings show (feelings show)

    And I understand
    Girl, it's time to let go

    (girl, it's time to let
    go because)
    I deserve a try (try) honey
    Just once (once)
    Give me a chance (chance) and
    I'll prove this all wrong

    (wrong you walked)
    You walked in, you were so quick
    to judge (quick to judge)
    But honey he's nothing like me
    Darling why can't you see


    [ Chorus (2x) ]

    [ Bridge: ]
    No way, no how (I'll never
    break your heart girl, I'll
    never make you cry)
    I swear (Oh I, oh I, I swear)

    food for thought 138- when you're happy and you know it clap your hands

    yo.

    I'm happy today:DDDD for no reason, at least not that I know of, but wtv:DDD
    hehe.

    maybe the fact that everything between koh and I is gonna be alright contributed a significant part of it(: not perfect, nothing is instant, of course, but we're working to be better, new new year resolutions, haha, cross my heart.



    I want to watch a movie on yt.
    I want to watch new moon with jiao.
    I want to watch you're beautiful ep 16.
    I want to watch a dvd.

    and the scary part is...
    this hols seem to go by horribly fast, 'cos we ended school two weeks later than usual, so like, we 'lost' two weeks of holsD:

    anyways, I think I am slowly moving from team edward to team jacob, even before watching new moon, and I think it's jiao's fault. plus, robpat is not as hot as taylor lautner. but if I were to be a vamp or a wolf, I'd choose the vamp. the wolf is kind of freaky, but cool on jb:DD


    so... the psle mania yesterday, GOSH. whole families crowd up my bro's school just to collect one person's results like wth man, very strong moral backing, huh? but, really, it doesn't change anything. my bro did "okay lah", enough to get in to wherever he wants to go comfortably. (don't look at me. ask him.) anyways, kind of deja vu, except that I am the one who gets to talk a lot and not worry or be anxious before the results' collection, hohoho;P

    yes, I know what's it's like 'cos I've been there, done that:D


    and I really can't believe we're gonna be in year 3 already. it's like:O so freaking fast. TRIPSCIHIST:D but I am kind of scared, 'cos like, they say the transition is kinda tough, so like, in sec3 we're likely to die, before we start living. I am scared of pts I guess, I mean, I'd rather have ppas than pts. pts totally suck, like, caps S. when I cry, more often it's over pts than ppas. and I am kinda glad that I won't touch lit and geog again, though it's really so hard to believe.


    I'm being random so, I love batman. I think 'batman begins' shows the 'story-behind-it', and 'the dark knight' is one of the best thrillers I've ever watched. it's exciting and deep, on so many layers. the themes portrayed in the both films (i.e. justice, fear, vengeance etc.) get me thinking about a lot of stuff. it's really, really good. I love it. I think I even prefer batman to spiderman, 'cos it's more exciting.


    OHYES. we were playing monopoly yesterday, and it was so freaking cool. I got into jail 6 times, paid to get out once, and rolled doubles five times to get out! and not only that, when my sis was 'in jail' she asked me to help her roll doubles, and I did roll doubles, AGAIN. I KNOW!! it's so freaking cool right, and a bit spooky, but MOSTLY COOL. I never did that before, and never will again, but it was superb while it lasted:DD VERY:DD


    anyways, I can't think of anymore random tidbits to tell. so, byebye:D
    have a nice weekend:D




    c'est la vie. vivre avec.



    p.s. thanks a lot, yo(: but please, pretty please with cherries on top, don't call me that again. hahahha:D it sounds, and feels duperweird. thanks(:

    my life's quotation marks"" 180- from me, even if you never see this

    Reality is cruel, but reality is life.

    The past ten days was all fantasy, they mean nothing, because you can't touch it, feel it, or live it. You can run after it, but you will never catch it. To some, it's a ray of light. You cannot catch it. To me, it is intangible, implausible and impossible. It is pointless. Yes, call me jaded, because that's what I am. No fantasy lasts. No fantasy carries you through because it is like a mist. You can't rely on it. It is unreliable. Fantasy is for the good times. It is first to go when the storm comes because when you get hit, the pain, the hurt, you realise that fantasy is no balm, no anaesthetic, because it is reality you're up against.

    Reality is solid. Reality is life. Reality is undoubtedly cruel, but it is what is there, for real. You can pretend not to see it if you close your eyes, but you can't keep your eyes closed forever, and when you open your eyes, it is still staring at you, squarely in your face. It doesn't disappear. You can't shut it out. You can live with it, face it, challenge it to a duel, but you can't pretend it doesn't exist. You experience it's existence beyond denial, and it's real, that's why you feel it when it hits you.




    You'd laugh if you knew, if you knew that I still think of you. Whatever that invisible force is that keeps be from letting go, the effects are obvious. The guilt is immense. The loss is painful. If I ever thought that never seeing you again would cure it, I was wrong, because it doesn't make it better. It makes it worse. It is beyond repair, but if I could I'd do it over. I'd do it over, and seize every moment. See, I never learnt to appreciate you, until I felt the hurt of loss. I never learnt the hurt I dealt, until I felt it. I remember all those moments that you gave so freely, and I didn't care to acknowledge them. Unintentionally, cross my heart, but it doesn't matter, does it?

    Now, I admit, it hurts, everytime I think, everytime I try not to think, everytime I can't help thinking. It's too late, I know, and my heart breaks. It's too late to undo it. It's too late to take it back. It's too late to explain, and there were so many times I almost told you, but I never did. I never did because I didn't dare to, because I am a coward, because I'd rather hurt in silence than risk more hurt. To put it crudely, whoever your 'next' girl is, she's braver than me already.

    You would have forgotten, everything, possibly, but I can't forget, not a single detail. Being forgotten hurts, but maybe I don't want you to remember. I don't want you to remember that person in my skin, but it seems you'd never know the person I am. That hurts too, but I can't change that. I can't go back. I can't take you back, and neither can you, or so it seems. Yet, for a little while, though it hurts, I will pretend that you're here. I will hug you and wait till you get here, even if you don't in the end. Sometimes I wonder what it's like on your side, and that makes me sad. If I know, I may be hurt, so I don't want to know. Simple logic, ain't it? TOTALLY JUVENILE.

    Soon enough, I'd read this, and laugh till my sides ache. Yet, for now, even if you'll never get read this... I cared, and I didn't show it, but I did. I cared, and I didn't play along, but I loved what you did. I cared, and I didn't laugh when you were being funny on purpose, but I am glad for you. I cared, but I didn't show it, but I wish I could. I miss you, even if you didn't know that,but I can't tell you, because you're gone. It really is too late after all.




    It appears that you're the only glitch left. If I said I was sorry, would it make everything alright? If I said I was sorry, would you have understood? If I said I was sorry, would you give conditions to accept it? I can anticipate one. Like I have mentioned before, pride makes it hard for me to apologise, but when I do, I give you my heart in my words. Do what you will with it, and that'll determine the face you see. This is not a threat, but merely for information. What I can give, I will.

    If I do apologise, and it takes me to love her for you to accept it, I will do it. I will wrench my pride and put it in my pocket, and do it as you like it, not because I don't dislike her enough, but because I love you enough. It has been agonizing, it hurts the most because I loved you the most. So I'll do it, if I can, if I have what it takes, because I cannot bear losing you, because this hurt is so real it engulfs me, and the most important part of it, is that it is not worth it. it is not worth losing you, just to feed my dislike. I never used the word hate on her because it is wholly inappropriate, but if everyone were to pardon my language just for a second.

    I love you more than I hate her. I loved you the most. It is not worth losing everything we had over her because it is senseless, because if I did, there'll be more hate in me than love. No amount of dislike exceeds the love in hurt. I am sorry, if what I did hurt you, but I can't pretend to love someone I don't, and I can't pretend to hate someone I love. If what I ever regret what I did, you'd be the only one I regret losing. Don't take this apology. Take one that I will give, when I address you, but take this as a stepping stone.

    When I do address you, when I am brave enough, you can choose. You can always choose, and there needs to be no guilt on your part, nor mine. I hope you will accept it when the time comes, but if you don't, it was a good ride while it lasted, one of the best I've ever had, but I have given all I can to revive it, to salvage it, and I leave with a clear conscience. I leave with a hole in my heart, but not the gaping hole now. It may be surprising, but apologies do that, even if they are not accepted, because that's all I can give. That hole will be patched because I will make new memories and better ones. It will hurt, but it will not engulf me, it will not be the end of the world.

    Having said that, I must hasten to add that you were one of the best things that happened to me, even if you never knew that. Losing you will hurt, like hell, but I can put out all the flames in hell with my tears, so that the wet cinders and remnants will never reignite, and I will never cry over you again.




    I was going to write another one, but I'm afraid it would have been pretty unpleasant, and well, there's a pleasant one too, but this is far to down to have a high one.


    Whatever it is, Jiao, I love you, and I mean it.
    Remember that if you're truly pretty, you can wear the ugliest watch in the world, and look good, because you make it pretty. All the same, you're getting the purple one, even though it's pretty, so that it can make you prett...ier.

    food for thought 137- sunshine

    yo.

    it sort of surprised me, you know, remember when I said the five years later thing, you'd look back and laugh?

    frankly, it didn't even take that long. I'm laughing already. I mean, not in a sarcastic manner, just... how should I put it? I look at it, and I can see it so clearly. I'm puzzled as to why I couldn't before.

    it's simple. 当局者迷,旁观者清 is the easiest way to explain it, because when I was caught up in the heat of everything, I lost sight, I was blind to the full picture. it was only when I slowly "zoomed out" could I see the full, complete picture.


    it feels stupid, childish and juvenile.
    I feel stupid, childish and juvenile.
    and it all just feels excessively unnecessary.



    anyways, I went to jurong regional library today, and it's COLD there. really.
    and HERE, I didn't know what to write, so I went to youtube and watched the preview of the next episode of you're beautiful. AND I CAN'T WAIT. SERIOUSLY. IT IS LIKE 'ZOMG'. I love shinwoo (jungyonghwa) the most, and everytime his heart breaks, it's just inexplicably heartwrenching.

    here, I quote chin.

    "you're beautiful is a freaking addictive showw!:D whee cat., beckah yeo and lee, mok and co. watches too wheeee:D JANGGEUNSUKKKKK!:D"

    GOSH;D
    btw, I like chin with her green braces, hahhahaha, CHIN IF YOU ARE READING THIS, yes, have an ego moment, you look pretty in your braces, and girly too.

    hahaha, and cuiqin has to treat you cos she got into history ra! which is quite GOSH;D too, not because she is not smart enough or whatever, but it's RA! and RA is so cheeeem, man. yes, felly, you're cheem. don't deny it. and even smarter, joan got into TWO RAs, which is beyond GOSH;D.

    so, anyways, congrats to all the successful RA applicants(: HUGS(:

    to be really honest, I am not built for raD:, cos I am so muggertype not smarttype. like I can mug, but I am not especially good, for application esp, that kind, that's why I suck at human geog. I can't do ra, seriously, I'd just flop over and die. I couldn't handle the RA level, no way. so, it's like I especially admire that kind of people, AHEM, the RA TYPE. I am especially impressed, 'cos it's just AH-mazing, man. SO KUDOS TO THEM:D


    so... I really love BLG and secondhand serenade. my head is almost exploding 'cos I listen too much on my ear-piece, yes, I know I kinda need to stop. but it's just the way the words and the melody capture me. not for all the songs, 'cos sometimes, I find BLG too loud and tune-less, for some songs only, and for S.S., it can be kind of draggy and boring. but still, for the most part, they are pretty good, both lyrics and melody. oooh, and after monday, I like 'never had a dream'! it's so nice and touching, and and and, 'everytime we touch' is great too. OHOHOH, it's all so wonderfully fantabulous, yes, you're beautiful ost too, so I am like, spending my life on youtube submerged in music.

    I'm wholly enchanted.
    not that I mind.

    GOSH;D

    The Only Way That I Know How To Feel
    Boys Like Girls
    Boys Like Girls (2006)

    Before you let me fall
    Kill me so I don't feel it at all
    Push my body up against the wall
    And pick your poison
    Cause everything feels wrong
    And I don't know where I belong

    Take me for granted
    Make me feel used

    Leave me in pieces
    Misery is company
    Cause I know that it's real

    I've learned to love the pain
    Cause that's the only way that I know how to feel


    Maybe it's a phase
    Maybe I'll break out of it someday

    Maybe this is just my twisted fate
    I always feel like everything is wrong

    And I don't know where I belong


    Take me for granted
    Make me feel used
    Leave me in pieces
    Misery is company
    Cause I know that it's real
    I've learned to love the pain
    Cause that's the only way that I know how...

    To feel your arms around my neck
    I'm suffocating with regret
    From all the wasted hours spent
    Believing I was never meant
    To touch the face of something real

    These sewn up scars will never heal
    But I put down a deal
    Cause that's only way that I know how to feel


    Take me for granted
    Make me feel used
    Leave in pieces
    Broken and bruised


    Take me for granted, make me...
    I promise that you'll
    Never keep on fallin' to pieces
    Misery is company
    Cause I know that it's real
    I've learned to love the pain
    Cause that the only way that I know how to feel

    I know how to feel
    You're the only way that I know how to feel

    Broken Man
    Boys Like Girls
    Boys Like Girls (2006)

    I want to scream, until no sound comes out and you've learned your lesson
    I want to swallow these pills to get to sleep
    So I don't have to make a bad impression


    I need to start to be myself
    Cause I'm sick of everybody else


    I won't let you bring me down
    It's here and now I'm breaking out
    I will learn to love again
    But I will stand a broken man


    I wanna run, but only far enough to make you miss me
    I wanna take back all the shit that I have done
    But I guess you were better off without me


    I need to start to be myself
    Cause I'm sick of everybody else

    I won't let you bring me down
    It's here and now, I'm breaking out
    I will learn to love again
    But I will stand a broken man

    I took one big step and I looked away
    And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say
    I'm always too late

    You never got your story straight
    I'm always up late
    I think I'm everything you hate


    I took one big step and I looked away
    And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say
    I'm always too late
    You never got your story straight
    I'm always up late
    I think I'm everything you hate

    If You Could See Me Now
    Boys Like Girls
    Boys Like Girls (2006)

    The nights grow cold
    I'm growing older
    Everyday you're gone
    Is more lonesome than the last one
    I've spent all this time
    Without you in my life
    And you're still on my mind
    Nothing ever feels alright

    I'm tired of being alone
    Why dont you just come home
    Because I miss you so
    And I want you to know

    If you could see me now
    We could move on somehow
    If you could travel all the miles again
    If you could just see me now
    You wouldn't have a doubt
    We could just start this love all over
    And forget the things we know
    If you could see me now
    Somehow

    Everything I said
    Wasn't what I meant
    I hope you can forget
    And I can leave all my regrets
    Behind tonight
    And catch a flight to Boston
    And come start a new life
    And this time we can do it right

    I'm tired of being alone
    Why don't you just come home
    Because I miss you so
    And I want you to know

    If you could see me now
    We could move on somehow
    If you could travel all the miles again
    If you could just see me now
    You wouldn't have a doubt
    We could just start this love all over
    And forget the things we know
    If you could see me now
    Somehow

    If you could see me now
    We could move on somehow
    If you could travel all the miles

    If you could see me now
    We could move on somehow
    If you could travel all the miles again
    If you could just see me now
    You wouldn't have a doubt
    We could just start this love all over
    And forget the things we know
    If you could see me now
    We could move on somehow
    If you could travel all the miles again
    If you could see me now

    Your Call (new version)
    Secondhand Serenade
    A Twist In My Story (2008)

    Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
    Call I'm desperate for your voice

    Listening to the song we used to sing
    In the car, do you remember
    Butterfly, Early Summer
    It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
    Like when we would meet

    Cause I was born to tell you I love you
    And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
    Stay with me tonight


    Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
    I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
    Cause every breath that you will take
    When you are sitting next to me
    Will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?

    (What's your, what's your...)


    Cause I was born to tell you I love you
    And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
    Stay with me tonight

    And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home[X4]
    (I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

    Cause I was born to tell you I love you
    And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
    Stay with me tonight

    Cause I was born to tell you I love you
    And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
    Stay with me tonight
    (I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

    Why
    Secondhand Serenade
    A Twist In My Story (2008)

    The buttons on my phone are worn thin
    I don't think that I knew the chaos I was getting in.
    But I've broken all my promises to you
    I've broken all my promises to you.

    Why do you do this to me?
    Why do you do this so easily?

    You make it hard to smile because
    You make it hard to breathe
    Why do you do this to me?


    A phrasing that's a single tear,
    Iis harder than I ever feared

    And you were left feeling so alone.
    Because these days aren't easy
    Like they have been once before
    These days aren't easy anymore.


    Why do you do this to me?
    Why do you do this so easily?
    You make it hard to smile because
    You make it hard to breathe
    Why do you do this to me?
    To me, to me, to me...

    I should've known this wasn't real
    And fought it off and fought to feel

    What matters most? Everything
    That you feel while listening to every word that I sing.

    I promise you I will bring you home
    I will bring you home.


    Why do you do this to me?
    Why do you do this so easily?
    You make it hard to smile because
    You make it hard to breathe
    Why do you do this to me?

    Why do you do this to me?
    Why do you do this so easily?
    You make it hard to smile because
    You make it hard to breathe
    Why do you do this to me?
    To me, to me, to me...

    Suppose
    Secondhand Serenade
    A Twist In My Story (2008)

    Suppose that I missed you,
    And suppose that I care,

    And suppose that I spent all my nights running scared,
    And suppose that I was never there.

    My eyes are screaming for the sight of you.
    And at night, I'm dreaming of all the things that we've been through.
    And I can't hold on to you,
    So I guess I'll be lonely too.


    Suppose we were happy,
    Suppose it was true,
    And suppose there were cold nights but we somehow made it through
    And suppose that I'm nothing without you.


    My eyes are screaming for the sight of you.
    And tonight, I'm dreaming of all the things that we've been through.
    And I can't hold on to you,
    So I guess I'll be lonely too.


    Slow way down
    This breakdown's eating me alive.

    And I'm tired,
    This fire's fighting to survive.


    Tell me a secret. (I want it)
    Tell me a story. (I need it)
    I'll listen attentively.
    I'll stay awake all night.
    All i need is a whisper. (So don't leave)
    There's nothing left in me. (Please help me)
    Not even my body, is strong enough to fight. (Let's make this right)
    Please help me make this right.


    Suppose that I was wrong,
    And suppose you were here,
    And suppose that I reached out and caught your tears,
    And suppose, this fight just disappeared.


    My eyes are screaming for the sight of you.
    And at night, I'm dreaming of all the things that we've been through.
    And I can't hold on to you,
    So I guess I'll be lonely too.
    But I'd rather be here with you.

    Maybe
    Secondhand Serenade
    A Twist In My Story


    Didn't you wanna hear
    The sound of all the places we could go

    Do you fear
    The expressions on the faces we don't know

    It's a cold hard road when you wake up
    And I don't think that I
    Have the strength to let you go...


    Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
    That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving

    And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
    It makes me wish that I was never brought into this place


    There goes my ring
    It might as well've been shattered

    And I'm here to sing
    About the things that mattered
    About the things that made us feel alive for oh so long
    About the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong...


    Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
    That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
    And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
    It makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

    And someday, I promise I'll be gone
    And someday, I might even sing this song
    To you, I might even sing this song, to you, to you,
    (To you) And I was crying alone tonight
    And I've been wasting all of my life just thinking of you
    So just come back we'll make it better
    So Just come back
    I'll make it better than it ever was [x2]


    Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
    That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
    And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
    Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

    Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
    That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
    And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
    Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
    Maybe it's just me
    (I want it all, don't leave right now)
    (I'll give you everything)

    Goodbye
    Secondhand Serenade
    A Twist In My Story (2008)

    It's a shame that it had to be this way
    It's not enough to say I'm sorry
    It's not enough to say I'm sorry


    Maybe I'm to blame
    Or maybe we're the same

    But either way I can't breathe
    Either way I can't breathe


    All I had to say is goodbye
    We're better off this way
    We're better off this way


    I'm alive but I'm losing all my drive
    Cause everything we've been through
    And everything about you
    Seemed to be a lie

    A guiltless twisted lie
    It made me learn to hate you
    Or hate myself for letting it pass by


    All I had to say is goodbye
    We're better off this way
    We're better off this way
    All I had to say is goodbye
    We're better off this way
    We're better off this way

    And every, everything isn't only
    What it seemed so hold these
    Words that you never told me

    It's time to say goodbye
    It's time to say goodbye
    It's time to say goodbye
    Goodbye


    Goodbye

    Take my hand away
    Spell it out
    Tell me I was wrong
    Tell me I was wrong


    Take my hand away
    Spell it out
    Tell me I was wrong
    Tell me I was wrong

    Take my hand away
    Spell it out
    Tell me I was wrong
    Tell me I was wrong

    food for thought 135- it's over and done with

    yo.

    so, it's TGIF, really, I thank God it's friday.

    I love wheelock, I just realised. it's such a nice place to stone, the peace and quiet infuses the atmostphere and all your angst just dissipates. I tried lido too, 'cos the smell of fresh popcorn is my weakness, but it has a soothing effect too, sort of. still, thanks loulou, for introducing wheelock(:

    anyways, I don't know what happens in the aftermath of disasters, I mean, but you know, enough is really enough. I'm just gonna forget, I mean, some things can be taken as if they never happened. I am just going to forget that I ever went to that place. I mean, it's like if you tell yourself that long enough, you'd really believe it. seriously! I mean, if everyday, early in the morning, first thing you hear is that somebody comes and says to you, "you're stupid and good for nothing!", over time, you'd really buy that. hahahahhahaa, this is a hypothetical example.

    it's a thing about habits and influence, sort of. so like, in this case, habits, can make things go back to normal. and I think it's the coolness, the freshness, and the serenity at wheelock that makes reflection, stoning and angst-dissipating so comfortable there. I think there is this soothing effect about wheelock. really, you just sit there, and you feel calmer a whole lot.

    I think that's what us folks need sometimes, to clear up and regulate all that excess teenage angst, hormones and adrenaline. it's temporary, of course, but, it can be rather overwhelming. I, for one, felt better after the wheelock. you know, from today, I'm callin' it the wheelock effect. really, I don't like the hustle and bustle of other malls. wheelock is perfect. give me ion and wheelock, wheelock anytime.

    anyways, it's well, coming down a little, the angst I mean. less so now than before. humans are forgetful, that's one thing my dad told me when I told him about the entire episode from the top, and so he's like, there will be new fads and new issues, people won't remember. do you honestly think that people'd think about you for long when something new catches their eye? no! humans are forgetful, 善忘. anywho, anyhow, I was just like, orh, okay. but yeah, he's said that before about p6-s1 stuff and all, and it's just same human nature showing up after a while.

    I am quite alright now, thanks to jiao and lou who cushioned the blow and plugged the wound. by alright, I mean that, it is no longer simmering like it did. it is wearing, but I am still rather unconfident of my ability to keep my mouth sealed, or at least not say stupid things that I'd regret later, or things that may hurt people and all, so I'll still stay away for a while, let things cool and all.

    I mean, I'm getting over it already, and you know what? I'll survive, like countless previous episodes I will survive. I mean, if this were enough to kill me, I'd be made of marshmallows. 'course not right?! hahaha, tougher stuff, baby. takes a lot more to take me down and keep me down. try me. hey, the wheelock effect really works in taking your mind off stuff. OH, and so does a sizzling game of bridge! hehehe, it's true! ;D

    anyways, I'm too tired and sick to go back and fuss over the same issues, so I'm just gonna carry on with my life. please, I mean, everyone has lives to go back to. the truth of the reality doesn't change just because you keep harping on the point. I mean, I have so much other things to do than to sit and sob over pointless things I have no control over, nor can I change. soyeah, doesn't matter anymore, nothing much matters anymore, face it, I mean, it's just the way it's going to go down history. it's all predestination, God meant it to be like that for His purpose and plan. it appears negative, but God can make it for good. I mean, it's just an episode, everyone's lives are episodes put together, this is just one of millions of episodes and encounters in a lifetime. and it's really not that anyone's gonna remember it in 10 years, or 20 years. wanna bet?

    and the thing is, even if you do, the supposed developed maturity by then would just laugh it off as pure childishness. so why prolong your suffering for something you'd just look back and laugh over?


    it's not worth it.

    truly I say to you, the swollen, sore, painful and can-hardly-open eyes?
    totally unworth it.





    c'est la vie. vivre avec.
