    Sleep to Dream
    by Fiona Apple

    I tell you how I feel, but you don't care.
    I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare.
    You say love is a hell you cannot bear.
    And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care.

    I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream.
    You got your head in the clouds, you're not at all what you seem.
    This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways.
    So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise.

    I have never been so insulted in all my life.
    I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride.
    First you run like a fool just to be at my side.
    And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide, and I can't abide.

    I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream.
    You got your head in the clouds, you're not at all what you seem.
    This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways.
    So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise.

    Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive.
    We're not playing a game anymore, you don't have to be so defensive.

    Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain.
    Don't even show me your face, cuz it's a crying shame.
    Just go back to the rock from under which you came.
    Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim -
    And don't forget the blame.

    I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream.
    You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem.
    This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways.
    So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise.

    Been ignored by a close friend - just makes me sad to care for someone who doesn't care for me.

    Oh pooh bear, you know I would never ignore you, and that I care for you just as much as I always have! Cheer up and come see me!

    BARENAKED LADIES LYRICS "Pinch Me"

    It's the perfect time of year
    Somewhere far away from here
    I feel fine enough, I guess
    Considering everything's a mess.
    There's a restaurant down the street
    Where hungry people like to eat
    I could walk, but I'll just drive
    It's colder than it looks outside.

    It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone..,
    ...then ya
    Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
    Try to see the world beyond your front door.
    Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
    Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
    Try to figure out what all this is for.

    It's the perfect time of day
    To throw all your cares away
    Put the sprinkler on the lawn
    And run through with my gym shorts on.
    Take a drink right from the hose
    And change into some drier clothes
    Climb the stairs up to my room
    Sleep away the afternoon.

    It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
    Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
    Try to see the world beyond your front door.

    Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
    Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
    Try to figure out what all this is for.
    Pinch Me
    Pinch Me
    Cos I'm still asleep.
    Please God
    Tell Me
    That I'm still asleep

    On an evening such as this
    It's hard to tell if I exist
    If I Packed a car and leave this town
    Who'll notice that I'm not around?
    I could hide out under there
    I just made you say 'underwear'
    I could leave but I'll just stay
    All my stuff's here anyway.

    It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
    Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
    Try to see the world beyond your front door.

    Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
    Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
    Try to figure out what all this is for.
    Try to figure out what all this is for.
    Try to see the world beyond your front door.
    Try to figure out what all this is for.

    ooooo, I love "Sleep to Dream" and "I Can't Make You Love Me." Great songs.

    Okay, for super sappy, there's Michael McDonald's "I Can Let Go Now." But the one that gets me crying every time is "The Scientist" by Coldplay.

    I have a playlist in my itunes called "Melancholy Mix", just for sad days. Helps me move through things more easily. Another song I really love is Billy Bragg's "St. Swithin's Day":

    Thinking back now,
    I suppose you were just stating your views
    What was it all for
    For the weather or the battle of agincourt
    And the times that we all hoped would last
    Like a train they have gone by so fast
    And though we stood together
    At the edge of the platform
    We were not moved by them

    With my own hands
    When I make love to your memory
    It's not the same
    I miss the thunder
    I miss the rain
    And the fact that you don't understand
    Casts a shadow over this land
    But the sun still shines from behind it.

    Thanks all the same
    But i just can't bring myself to answer your letters
    It's not your fault
    But your honesty touches me like a fire
    The polaroids that hold us together
    Will surely fade away
    Like the love that we spoke of forever
    On st swithin's day

    Yeah, I'm going through my "Therapy Music" Play List right now (created when I was 19, still good today). Helped me get through my worst break-ups...

    Lauryn Hill

    "Ex-Factor"

    It could all be so simple
    But you'd rather make it hard
    Loving you is like a battle
    And we both end up with scars

    Tell me, who I have to be
    To get some reciprocity
    No one loves you more than me
    And no one ever will

    Is this just a silly game
    That forces you to act this way
    Forces you to scream my name
    Then pretend that you can't stay
    Tell me, who I have to be
    To get some reciprocity
    No one loves you more than me
    And no one ever will

    [Hook:]
    No matter how I think we grow
    You always seem to let me know
    It ain't workin'
    It ain't workin'
    And when I try to walk away
    You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
    This is crazy
    This is crazy

    I keep letting you back in
    How can I explain myself
    As painful as this thing has been
    I just can't be with no one else
    See I know what we got to do
    You let go and I'll let go too
    'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
    And no one ever will

    [Repeat Hook]

    Care for me, care for me
    I know you care for me

    There for me, there for me
    Said you'd be there for me

    Cry for me, cry for me
    You said you'd die for me

    Give to me, give to me
    Why won't you live for me
    [Repeat]

    This one makes me tear up and I am happily married. It would be a great song for a broken heart.

    How do I Live? Leann Rimes
    How do I
    get through the night without you?
    If I had to live without you,
    What kind of life would that be?
    Oh I,
    I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
    You're my world, my heart, my soul,
    If you ever leave, baby you would take away everything good in my life,
    and tell me now
    How do I live without you?
    I want to know,
    How do I breathe without you?
    If you ever go,
    How do I ever, ever survive?
    How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
    Without you,
    There'd be no sun in my sky,
    There would be no love in my life
    There would be no love in my life
    There'd be no world left for me.
    And I,
    Baby, I don't know what I would do,
    I'd be lost if I lost you.
    If you ever leave
    Baby you would take away
    everything real in my life
    And tell me now
    How do I live without you?
    I want to know,
    How do I breathe without you?
    If you ever go,
    How do I ever, ever survive?
    How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
    Please tell me baby
    How do I go on?
    If you ever leave,
    Baby you would take away
    Everything
    I need you with me
    Baby don't you know that
    you're everything
    real in my life?
    And tell me now
    How do I live without you
    I want to know
    How do I breathe without you?
    If you ever go
    How do I, how do I oh how do I live?
    How do I live without you?
    How do I live without you baby?
