Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal 
And you can’t sleep thinking that he lies still 
So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case 
Big girls all get a little taste 
Pushing me away so I give her space 
Dealing with a heart that I didn’t break I’ll be there for you, 
I will care for you 
I keep thinking you just don’t know 
Trying to run from that, say you’re done with that 
On your face girl, it just don’t show 
When you’re ready, just say you’re ready 
When all the baggage just ain’t as heavy 
And the party's over, just don’t forget me 
We’ll change the pace and we'll just go slow 
You won’t ever have to worry, 
You won’t ever have to hide 
You've seen all my mistakes 
So look me in my eyes.


- "Take Care", Drake

Pain

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding."

- Kahlil Gibran

Blow Away

No home, I don't want shelter
No calm, nothing to keep me from the storm
And you can't hold me down
'Cause I belong to the hurricane
It's gonna blow this all away.

- "Hurricane Drunk", Florence and the Machine

Soul Mates

"Your problem is you don't understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave."

From Eat, Pray, Love

Closer

"Remember me, she said smiling
Write my name somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be who you'll dream

Everyday I try a little harder, dear
But those things you do, I don't wanna hear
You'll have yours, I'll have mine
No one guilty, no one right"

- Jimmy Eat World, "Closer"

All At Once

There's a world we've never seen
There's still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If you're waiting on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin' as we reach for love
At least somethin' we could hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go

What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

- Jack Johnson, "All at Once"

Gravity

Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me.

- Sara Bareilles, "Gravity"

Bulletproof

Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,
I won't let you in again, the messages I've tried to send,
My informations just not going in,
Burnin' bridges shore to shore, I'll break away from something more,
I'm not turned off to love until it's cheap,
Been there, done that, messed around,
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,

This time baby I'll be bulletproof...

La Roux, "Bulletproof"

Speechless

"And I know that it’s complicated
But I’m a loser in love
So baby raise a glass to mend
All the broken hearts
Of all my wrecked up friends

I’ll never talk again
Oh boy you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless so speechless

I’ll never love again,
Oh friend you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless"

- Lady Gaga, Speechless

Scars

"Scars remind us of where we've been, they don't have to dictate where we're going."

- Agent Rossi, "Criminal Minds"

Trauma

“It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up. But maybe that’s the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap, maybe going through all that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.”

~Alex Karev, Grey’s Anatomy

Pain

Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain.

~Bob Dylan, Dark Things

What You Get

Pain, make your way to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start... Start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get when you let your heart win!

~Paramore, That's What You Get

Time

Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams.
Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying

Can you teach me about tommorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

Time, I don't understand
Children killing in the street
Dying for the color of red
Time, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean,
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

Can you teach me about tomorrow
All the pain and sorrow
Running free?
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in...

Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time
And if I die tomorrow, yeah
Just lay me down in sleep

Time, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
Now only lasts for one second, one second

Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrows just another day
And I don't believe in time

Time, why you punish me?

~Time, Hootie and the Blowfish

Having Someone

"I think it's better to have someone, even if it hurts, even if it is the most painful thing you have done, even if it's the most painful thing you've ever had to do. I think it's better to have someone."

~Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

Heart of Life

"You know, it's nothing new, bad news never had good timing, but, then your circle of friends will defend the silver lining; Pain throws your heart to the ground, love turns the whole thing around, no it won't all go the way it should, but I know the heart of life is good"

~John Mayer, "The Heart of Life"
