Let me Go - 3 Doors Down

You have no idea how much I love you. I don’t think I ever loved anyone, not even my parents (they were away most of the time). You are the only thing that is of substance to me, you are the only thing that makes life bearable. I will love you always. That I assure you. So please stop crying. I… I… just can’t keep doing this to you. I feel like I’m gonna go insane whenever I make you cry. But, this is me… And I don’t think I can ever change.

For a Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic - Paramore

I know that I took revenge to the next level. But what you’ve done changed my life so drastically. And you were my best friend. I loved you both so dearly and you two, you two, chose to betray me. But believe me, despite the snide comments I make, despite the looks I shot you almost everyday at school. I do want to forgive you. Believe it or not, it gets tiring sometimes. It would’ve been easier though, if you said you were sorry. Or at least seemed like you were.

Over You - Daughtry 

Beep goes my phone. Unknown number. But of course I knew you it was you. But this time, my heart didn’t skip a beat. You wished me a Happy New Year. You thanked me for everything that I’ve taught you. You wished me well for 2010. I was polite enough to return the sentiment. I let out a tiring, yet hopeful sigh. I quickly deleted our text conversation. If you knew just how wasteful it was, spending most of 2009 getting over you. But now, I feel like I finally got the closure I needed. This time, my 2010 will be spent realizing how much better life is without you.

Ironic - Alanis Morissette

It’s been years of standing in the shadows. Years of heartache. It’s been years of wishful thinking. Years of the cat and mouse chase. It’s been years of watching you go through girl after girl. Years of wishing you’d finally see me. It’s been years of being taken for granted.

& finally, here you are, hand-in-hand with me. But, why am I not happy?

Black Cherry - Goldfrapp

Anna was on the stairs. Her mascara’s running down her face. Anna bites her nails when she’s anxious. She refused to open the curtains. She refused to acknowledge that today was the day. She stood up and prepared herself a cup of coffee. She sipped and imagined you smiling, hand-in-hand with her, finally getting your happy ending. She didn’t notice how the coffee burned her tongue.

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - The Postal Service

She woke up to the bright lights outside the window, she let out a faint yawn. “Are we near?”… “Not yet, the traffic is terrible…”  I answered. She squirmed uncomfortably in her seat, and I tapped awkwardly on the stirring wheel. She dabbed some lip balm on her lips,“Don’t worry, I’m sure they’re going to love you…” she said, giving a reassuring touch on my shoulder. We both knew you were lying.

Leech - Incubus

You are seated right next to me. I can see at the corner of my eye how you play with those cherry tomatoes on your plate. I notice that your cheap nail polish is chipped. You put your fork down for a while and twirl your hair. You coyly ask the people at the table random questions, you act interested. Everyone’s eating it up, but not me. You turn to me and say ‘Isn’t that interesting?!’ I flash you the biggest smile that I could and answer with a hint of sarcasm, ‘Sure is!!!!’ I tilt my head to the side and I roll my eyes in disgust. I know you saw me do that, Little Miss Sunshine, and yet you still have that stupid expression on your face like everything’s dandy. Stop acting naive, I can see right through you, bitch.

Perfect - Smashing Pumpkins

Why do I do this to myself? Here you go again. I cannot not answer your calls. ‘Hey… I hope I didn’t wake you up.. it’s just… I don’t know… she and I got into this huge fight again…’ When you guys get into a fight, you call me up automatically. Then when you make-up the next day,  you forget I even exist. Just the mere fact of knowing how much power she has over you, knowing she’s got you wrapped around her pretty little finger is like taking a knife to the gut. ‘No no, not at all, so tell me, what happened?…’

Kids - MGMT

Mediocre. Middle-ground. Yep, that’s me. I really can’t tell if it’s the Middle Child Syndrome. Growing up, I wasn’t particularly a bad kid, I was pretty much behaved and I was well-mannered. My grades are average, and I’m not bad looking either. My older sister on the other hand, was the rebel of the family. When I try to stereotype myself, I do not fall under any category. When I think about my interests, I like a little of this, and a little of that, there’s nothing in particular. I wanted to break free from my mediocrity so badly, I didn’t want to be a black hole, totally void of personality. So during high school, on my Senior year, I swore, I swore I was going to do crazy, out of the world, unspeakable things the moment I step into college. I was gonna make a mark, when someone hears my name they’ll be able to say something about me other than ‘She’s ok’. So here I am, on my 3rd year in college, and yet —— yep. That’s me, mediocre.

Island in the Sun - Weezer

She was in a very crappy mood. Her flight got delayed because of the storm. She tried to think positive, she was in paradise after all. But she was kind of sick of the sun, the sand, the smell of salt water —- and the thoughts of him. She decided to pass time by finishing the book she brought along with her by the shore. She was on the second to the last page, subconsciously assessing herself if her mood improved. Then, the brightness of the sun was blocked, she looked up…. he smiled. “Hi.” Suddenly, she wasn’t in such a crappy mood anymore.

Blue light - Bloc Party

My nails tapped impatiently on the table. “Do you want to be with me?” You kept silent, you always did when you’re confronted. You hated making choices, you’re selfish that way. You’re so spoiled that you never had to choose, you always wanted the best of both worlds. “I can’t do this anymore”. I stood up, leaving behind the nearly crumpled plane tickets. I walked as fast as I could, ran even because I felt the hot tears coming. Seeing me cry? No, I won’t let you get that satisfaction.
