Not Coming Home -- Maroon 5

When you refuse me
You confuse me
What makes you think I'll let you in again
Think again my friend
Go on misuse me and abuse me
I'll come out stronger in the end

And does it make you sad
To find yourself alone
And does it make you mad
To find that I have grown
I'll bet it hurts so bad
To see the strength that I have shown

When you answer the door pick up the phone
You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

You don't know how much this hurts me
To say these things that I don't want to say
But have to say them anyway
I would do anything to end your suffering
But you would rather walk away

And does it make you sad
To find yourself alone
And does it make you mad
To find that I have grown
I'll bet it hurts so bad
To see the strength that I have shown

When you answer the door pick up the phone
You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

When you answer the door pick up the phone
You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

When you answer the door pick up the phone
You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

What Might Have Been -- Little Texas

Sure I think about you now and then
But it's been a long long time
I've got a good life now, I've moved on
So when you cross my mind

I try not to think about
What might have been
'Cause that was then
And we have taken different roads
We can't go back again
There's no use giving in
And there's no way to know
What might have been

We could sit and talk about this all night long
And wonder why we didn't last
Yes they might be the best days
We will ever know
But we'll have to leave them in the past

So try not to think about
What might have been
'Cause that was then
And we have taken different roads
We can't go back again
There's no use giving in
And there's no way to know
What might have been

That same old look in your eyes
It's a beautiful night
I'm so tempted to stay
But too much time has gone by
We should just say goodbye
And turn and walk away

And try not to think about
What might have been
'Cause that was then
And we have taken different roads
We can't go back again
There's no use giving in
And there's no way to know
What might have been

No we'll never know
What might have been

Ready When You Are -- Trapt

Are you having trouble keeping up?
Seeing this thing through
I want to know who you're running from
Me or you?
You're too confused to open up
Feel the way I do
I want to know who you're thinking of
'Cause I really have no clue

Another game of charades
Don't you know everybody plays?
I don't want to lose to you that way
Maybe we'll be different this time around
Maybe we'll be different, I don't know
Don't want to strangle this
So I'm holding back for now

Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are
Don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are

Are you having trouble keeping up?
You know that I will wait
I wonder if it's good enough to make you stay
You're too confused to open up
You don't know what to say
Well, you can tell me if you think it's love
I won't be far away

Another game of charades
Don't you know everybody plays?
I don't want to lose to you that way
Maybe we'll be different this time around
Maybe we'll be different, I don't know
Don't want to strangle this
So I'm holding back for now

Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are
Tied down, don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are

I want to know if you're thinking of me
I'll be counting the hours even though I know I'm free
Too soon to take a chance
No more questions left to ask
I could be anything, but the one thing
I'm not sure you want to be

Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are
Don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are

Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are
Calm down, don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are

Calm down, I'm ready when you are
Calm down, I'm ready when you are
Calm down, I'm ready when you are
Calm down, I'm ready when you are

Like We Used To -- A Rocket to the Moon

I can feel her breath as she's sleeping next to me
Sharing pillows and cold feet
She can feel my heart, fell asleep to its beat
Under blankets and warm sheets

If only I could be in that bed again
If only it were me instead of him

Does he watch your favorite movies?
Does he hold you when you cry?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts?
When you've seen it a million times

Does he sing to all your music
While you dance to "Purple Rain"?
Does he do all these things
Like I used to?

14 months and 7 days ago
Oh, I know you know how we felt about that night
Just your skin against the window
But you took it slow and we both know

It should have been me inside that car
It should have have been me instead of him in the dark

Does he watch your favorite movies?
Does he hold you when you cry?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts
When you've seen it a million times?

Does he sing to all your music
While you dance to 'Purple Rain'?
Does he do all these things
Like I used to?

I know, love
(Well, I'm a sucker for that feeling)
Happens all the time, love
(I always end up feeling cheated)
You're on my mind, love
(Oh darling, I know I'm not needed)
That happens all the time, love, yeah

Will he love you like I loved you?
Will he tell you everyday?
Will he make you feel like you're invincible
With every word he'll say?

Can you promise me if this was right?
Don't throw it all away

Can you do all these things?
Will you do all these things
Like we used to?
Oh, like we used to

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

On My Way -- Boyce Avenue

I wasn't there the moment you first learned to breathe
But I'm on my way
On my way
I wasn't there the moment you got off your knees
But I'm on my way
On my way

Lay down
And come alive in all you've found
All you're meant to be
And for now
We'll wait until the morning light
And close our eyes to see
Just close your eyes to see

A tear must have formed in my eye
When you had your first kiss
But I'm on my way
On my way
So leave a space deep inside for everything I'll miss
'Cause I'm on my way
On my way

Lay down
And come alive in all you've found
All you're meant to be
And for now
We'll wait until the morning light
And close our eyes to see
Just close your eyes to see

And when you feel no saving grace
Well I'm on my way
On my way
And when you're bound to second place
Well I'm on my way
On my way

So don't believe it's all in vain
'Cause I'm on my way
On my way
The light at the end is worth the pain
'Cause I'm on my way
On my way

I'll be there the morning you come out in white
'Cause I'm on my way
On my way
