If ever I tell you I’m sorry Don’t you believe a word I like it when you’re worried Worried about me But the truth lies deep inside See, I’m broken As broken as can be
And okay, so I can be stupid I have issues, I can see I love my friends I love my family But it seems I can’t stop I’m wondering, really wondering Should I just drop dead and rot?
And call me up when I’m down I’ll tell you I’m alright I want and I don’t want To bring you into my fight With myself, cause deep inside If I wasn’t so filled with pride I may just Drop Dead Drop Dead
Does it seem a better option? Hell yes, hell no, man, I don’t know I love my family I love my friends But sometimes it’s like I want it to end These petty crimes I cannot comprehend Just an ever growing trend Breaking down my innocence It’s you who suffers You just don’t know it yet
Drop dead, it’s better than the lies ( Don’t touch them, My demons, I’ll close the shutters ) Drop dead, it’s better than goodbye ( Bring me a knife, lets’ end this, slice me through like butter ) Drop dead
And call me up when I’m down I’ll tell you I’m alright I want and I don’t want To bring you into my fight With myself, cause deep inside I’m wondering, wondering if I Should just, just lay down and die Let me Drop dead Drop dead Drop dead

EVERYBODY IS FREE TO WEAR SUNSCREEN
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked…. You’re not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life… the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary… what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can… don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…

MING I woke up, with a pain in my head, I’m thinking over stupid things that I said, I know I was stupid but, things change And I’m working back, and I’m wondering why.
Good things don’t last forever, Some day they have to end, Shout out to all my haters, Sorry that you couldn’t faze me. X2
I fly with the stars in the sky, And the lonely try to survive, And I believe that life has a price But to live doesn’t mean you’re alive,
Good things don’t last forever, Some day they have to end, Shout out to all my haters, Sorry that you couldn’t faze me. X2
You swore things would never change, And look at us now, We’re so different, how? We were always too together, Now we’re done for the end of forever, Goodbye.
Good things don’t last forever. Some day they have to end. Shout out to my haters, Sorry that you couldn’t faze me...

Go ahead and take your best shot, Let 'er rip, give it all you've got, I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before, I may stumble, yeah I might fall, I'm only human, but aren't we all? I might lose my way, but hear me when I say,
I will stand back up, You'll know just the moment when I've have enough, Sometimes I'm afraid, and I dont feel that tough, But I'll stand back up,
I've been beaten up and bruised, I've been kicked right off my shoes, Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe, When the darkness tries to get me, There's a light that just wont let me, It might take my pride, and tears may fill my eyes, But I'll stand back up,
I've weathered all these storms, But I just turn them into wind so I can fly, What dont kill you makes you stronger, When I take my last breath, Thats when I'll just give up,
So, go ahead to take your best shot, Let 'er rip, give it all you've got, You might win this round but you cant keep me down,
'Cause I'll stand back up, And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough, Sometimes I'm afraid and I dont feel that tough, But I'll stand back up,
You'll know just the moment when I've had enough, Sometimes I'm afraid and I dont feel that tough, But I'll stand back up.

"Mary May & Bobby"
It was a fine day in the fifth grade when Mary May let Bobby walk her home from school. He had her books in hand, and he was listening to every word she said like it was the gospel of the prophecies. And he loved the way her hair fell across her dress. Went home singing, "Who wrote the book of love" and try a little tenderness, yeah.
The next day on the playground, Bobby sat Mary down on the swing set behind the sandbox and she said, "Bobby I just want to play, so what is this you have to say?" He said, "Mary, marry me. We could live out by the sea like they do on the movie screen. Oh, marry me, Mary May, before you go back to play."
It was graduation day. They were waiting on a plane to take Mary away. Said, "There's nothing left for me here but you. Bobby, I hope that you can find yourself through. There's so much that I wish to know, and I have to do this on my own and I hope that you can understand. Bobby, write me when you can.
He said, "Take my high school ring, so time to time now you can think of me and there's just one more thing before you leave..."
He said, "Mary, marry me we could live out by the sea Oh, like they do on the movie screen. Oh, marry me, Mary May, before you up and fly away."
There's so much time has passed since that day and Mary stopped writing years ago and Bobby never took his music on the road. Guess he never really gave up hope. Now Mary she's got everything she thought she wanted got a Ph.D., she is an independent business woman climbing up the corporate ladder though it really don't seem to matter, she is lonely beyond belief. So one day she went home looking for the only love she'd ever known.
She found him once again, playing a circuit at the Holiday Inn, still singing the song about the one he lost long ago. Just goes to show, you never know.
She took his hand in hers not everything she had planned and rehearsed. She said, "Bobby, marry me. We could live in a apartment building with a window view. We could take in movies on the weekend while planning our vacation. Take a honeymoon by the sea. Oh Bobby, won't you just marry me? Won't you just marry me? Oh please, marry me."
It was a fine day in the fifth grade when Mary May let Bobby walk her home from school...

No, I can't take one more step towards you ‘Cause all that's waiting is regret Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live, half alive And now you want me one more time
[Chorus:] Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul So don't come back for me Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around If I am anywhere to be found But I have grown too strong To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live, half alive And now you want me one more time
[Chorus]
It took so long just to feel alright Remember how to put back the light in my eyes I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed ‘Cause you broke all your promises And now you're back You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul Don't come back for me Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul Don't come back for me Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?

Although I love this song, its not really for me. Don't read it if you're Hannah. I mean it Hannah. I will not be responsible for making you cry again.
John Denver - Leaving on a Jet Plane
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go I'm standin' here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing Every place I go, I'll think of you Every song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
Guitar Solo
Now the time has come to leave you One more time let me kiss you Close your eyes I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times, I won't have to say
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh baby, I hate to go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go

Remember when the simple things were the things we loved Yeah yeah yeah Remember when just living was simply enough Yeah yeah yeah But fears fill the emptiness and years fill everything in between
All this time is passing by On the way I've had to say goodbye Oh my life begins today After all I've walked I've crawled I've loved along the way
Fly away into the sun, never return Yeah yeah yeah Stay awake forever watch this lifetime burn Yeah yeah yeah Peace breaks the loneliness and hope fills everything between.
All this time is passing by All the way I've had to say goodbye. Oh my life begins today After all Ive walked I've crawled I've loved along the way
Yeah yeah yeah
Walking down this road I've learnt to let go Of what I know 'cause everything can change again I'm on the edge of all that I could be Well what I can't control, I cant control my dreams
Remember when the days we had never seemed to end? Yeah yeah yeah Remember when we couldn't wait for life to begin? Yeah yeah yeah All the answers I've found are few and far between, All this time is passing by On the way I've had to say goodbye Oh my life begins today After all I've walked I've crawled I've loved along the way...

When it's black, Take a little time to hold yourself, Take a little time to feel around, Before it's gone,
You won't let go, But you still keep on falling down, Remember how you saved me now, From all of my wrongs yeah,
If there's love just feel it, If there's life we'll see it, This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah, I, wont let you go,
Say those words, Say those words like there's nothing else, Close your eyes and you might believe, That there is some way out yeah,
Open up, Open up your heart to me now, Let it all come pouring out, Theres nothing I can't take,
If there's love just feel it, And if there's life we'll see it, This ain't no time to be alone, alone, yeah I, wont let you go,
If your sky is falling, Just take my hand and hold it, You don't have to be alone, alone, yeah, I, won't let you go,
And if you feel the fading of the light, And you're too weak to carry on the fight, And all your friends that you count on have disappeared, I'll be here, not gone, forever, holding on, Oh,
If there's love just feel it, And if there's life we'll see it, This ain't no time to be alone, alone, yeah, I, wont let you go,
If your sky is falling, Just take my hand and hold it, You don't have to be alone, alone, yeah, I won't let you go,
I wont let you go, I wont let, x 2, I won't let you go x 2,

"If I Die Young"
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a, bed of roses Sink me in the river, at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger, I've never known the lovin' of a man But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever, Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar They're worth so much more after I'm a goner And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin' Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh) The ballad of a dove (uh, oh) Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

You walked with me Footprints in the sand And helped me understand Where I’m going You walked with me When I was all alone With so much unknown along the way Then I heard you say
I promise you I’m always there When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair I’ll carry you When you need a friend You’ll find my footprints in the sand
I see my life Flash across the sky So many times have I Been so afraid ooh And just when I Have thought I’ve lost my way
You give me strength to carry on That’s when I heard you say
I promise you I’m always there When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair I’ll carry you When you need a friend You’ll find my footprints in the sand
When I’m weary Well I no you’ll be there And I can feel you When you say
I promise you I’m always there When your heart is full of sadness and despair I’ll carry you When you need a friend You’ll find my footprints in the sand

Feeling broken Barely holding on But there's just something so strong Somewhere inside me And I am down but I'll get up again Don't count me out just yet
I've been brought down to my knees And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking But I can take it I'll be back Back on my feet This is far from over You haven't seen the last of me You haven't seen the last of me
They can say that I won't stay around But I'm gonna stand my ground You're not gonna stop me You don't know me You don't know who I am Don't count me out so fast I've been brought down to my knees And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking But I can take it I'll be back Back on my feet This is far from over You haven't seen the last of me
There will be no fade out This is not the end I'm down now But I'll be standing tall again Times are hard but I was built tough I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of
I've been brought down to my knees And I've been pushed right past the point of breaking But I can take it I'll be back Back on my feet This is far from over I am far from over You haven't seen the last of me
No no I'm not going nowhere I'm staying right here Oh no You won't see me fade out I'm not taking my bow Can't stop me It's not the end You haven't seen the last of me Oh no You haven't seen the last of me You haven't seen the last of me

Handlebars
The group were big for just a year and then the whole thing fell they had nothing to fall back on they fell pretty hard as you can tell and now they're cleaning tables in the local bar it wasn't all that long ago that they'd be told that they'd go far
She looks down on those who do not look up to her she's a head above them all although she'll never be as tall And everybody loves her they think that she is swell But the one true problem is that she knows it all too well
Carve out your future no one else will do it for you
&I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose -
Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make &I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose now
He's feeling pretty confident he thinks his future's made But all of a sudden the adoration could fade Now he begs the world to like him, and pretend he likes himself but he's wasted all his years and now he's sitting on the shelf
I can try to avoid it I can push it in the shade But whether I like it or not there are decisions to be made I'm really scared a little bridge is all that I will be They'll tell me I'll be big and then they'll walk all over me
Carve out your future no one else will do it for you
&I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose -
Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make &I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose now
Can I be sure that I've got nothing to lose Can I be sure that I won't end up bruised
Take life by the handlebars Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make &I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose now

Baby ballerinas Hiding somewhere in the corner Where the shadow wraps around her And our torches cannot fimd her She will stay there till the morning Crawl behind us as we are yawning And she will leave our game to never be the same
So grow tall sugarcane Eat the soil, drink the rain But know they'll chase you if you play their little games So run, run fast sugarcane
You see my peep show booth is handy Theres a one way only mirror So i can dance here with my hair down But i dont see if you get bitter And theres a button right beside me If I happen to want a wall to hide me If only ballerina had one too
So grow tall sugarcane Eat the soil, drink the rain But know they'll chase you if you play their little game So run, run fast sugarcane
And she said always be afraid Yeah you should always be afraid...
To grow tall sugarcane Eat the soil, drink the rain But know they'll chase you if you play their little game So run, run fast sugarcane
Yeah you better run, run fast sugarcane

There are some nights I hold on to every note I ever wrote Some nights, I say "fuck it all" and stare at the calendar Waiting for catastrophes, imagine when they scare me Into changing whatever it is I am changing into...
And you have every right to be scared.
Cos there are some nights I hold you close, pushing you to hold me Or begging you to lock me up, never let me see the world Some nights, I live in horror of people on the radio Tea parties and Twitter, I've never been so bitter And you, why you wanna stay?
Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately? Lately, I've been going crazy... And you, why you wanna stay? Oh my God! Have you listened to me lately? Lately, I've been fucking crazy...
There are some nights I wait for someone to save us But I never look inward, try not to look upward And some nights I pray a sign is gonna come to me But usually, I'm just trying to get some sleep...
Some nights!
