If No One Will Listen -- Kelly Clarkson

Maybe no one told you, there is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do you think that there's enough you might drown?

If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here, still

No one can tell you, where you alone must go
There's no telling what you'll find there
And God I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It's screaming every step just stay here

If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here, still

If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find that you've been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate

If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here, still

If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here, still
I will be here, still

Better In Time -- Leona Lewis

(there's also a beautiful cover by Boyce Avenue)

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See, somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going, coming, thought I heard a knock
Who's there? No one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice, you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be okay

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals, too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV, no
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings?

If I'm dreaming, don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings, but that's the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice, boy, you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be okay

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals, too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is, I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals, too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals, too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
