Words...words...words

Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic and I can't help it. This is a collection of quotes and lyrics. They are touching and thought provoking and I'd like to share...


"They're only words...unless they're true." - David Mamet

"No matter how tough people are or what people are going through and what the trend is, at the end of the day people want to be loved. They may not admit it to you, but at the end of the day they want to be loved. And want to love. That's what we were put here for. That is what we were created to do." - Lenny Kravitz

This man is a poet and a genius. I fell in love with his music when I heard "Struck" for the first time off the album Scar. Brilliant.

"I had a dream of you and I’ll tell you what I can. Your face was a brilliant mask-- it came off in my hand; O baby I wonder how you ever learned to play so rough. You left me with everything, knowing it would never be enough." - "Rough and Tumble"

"Should I love you more than I do? Or pray to love you less? Or learn to live with the little you give, believing it all for the best? Oh, will I ever see your heart open wide and your eyes shut? Looking for all the world like for once-- it was you, not me, that had been STRUCK." - Joe Henry -"Struck"


"Only in dreams, you'll see what it means. Reach out our hands, hold on to hers. But when we wake, it's all been erased. And so it seems...only in dreams" - Weezer - "Only In Dreams"

"I don't love you because of who you are, but for who I am when I am with you." - Unknown

"At night as we lay down to sleep, I wonder what you'll show me. I think of you and the thoughts that you keep and I wonder...I wonder, do you know me? Everything that I have is broken in two. Everything that I am revolves around you...everyone believes in something, though we give it different names. You can search the world for that one thing, but it's all the same." - Alana Davis - "Lullaby"


I would put this song on repeat and crank up the volume.

"All the things we took for granted. The words still live on in my head. All the times I took for granted. All the words I never said. I think about you in the moonlit night and the stars all seem to weep. When there's so much love to give/lose, there's never any time for sleep." - Beth Orton - "Stars All Seem To Weep"


"In a haze, a stormy haze, I'll be 'round, I'll be loving you always...Always. Here I am and I'll take my time. Here I am and I'll wait in line always...Always." - Coldplay


Shed many a tear to this song...

"I don't wanna feel this way - won't somebody take away this feeling. I'm looking at an open sky. It's like my roof has got no ceiling. It's wrong to feel this way. I know it's wrong. I know it's bad - to see what isn't there, to want and want and never have. But you know there's more to me now don't you? You'll always cover for me, won't you? Won't you? And this used to look half-full. Now some days it looks half-empty. And some days it feels like nothing...it always used to feel like plenty." - Everything But The Girl - "Good Cop Bad Cop"


"What is it that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have ever read." - Walt Whitman

"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. See, no one loves you more than me and no one ever will...This is what we have 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." - Lauryn Hill

"Life would be easier if you could pick who you loved. - Unknown


The lyrics to "Cruel" are sooo good.
"I disappeared in you. You disappeared from me. I'd give you anything you ever wanted-- it wasn't what you wanted. The men who love you, you hate the most. They pass right through you like a ghost. They look for you, but your spirit is in the air. Baby, you're nowhere. Ohhhhhhh, Love. You say in love, there are no rules. Ohhhhhh, Love. Sweetheart...you're so cruel." - U2

"If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can transform one million realities." - Maya Angelou

"You think you are complicated, a deep mystery to all. Well, it's taken me a while to see...you're not so special. All energy no meaning, with a lot of words. So paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down. So, I'll see you when you're 40...lost and all alone, being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know. Not sad because you lost me, but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad." - Dido

"So I speak to you in riddles 'cause my words get in my way. I smoke the whole thing to my head and feel it wash away. 'Cause I can't take any more of this...I WANNA COME APART...or dig myself a little hole inside your precious heart...it's always raining in my head, forget all the things I should have said." - Staind

"Your heart is not open, so I must go. The spell has been broken, I loved you so. Freedom comes when you learn to let go, creation comes when you learn to say no. There's nothing left to try, there's no place left to hide...there's no greater power than the power of goodbye." - Madonna

"Nobody nowhere holds the key to your heart. When loves a possession, it'll tear you apart." - Unknown

"When you were here before, I couldn't look you in the eye. You're just like an angel. Your skin makes me cry. You float like a feather...in a beautiful world. I wish I was special. You're so fucking special. But I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't care if it hurts. I want to have control. I want a perfect body. I want a perfect soul. I want you to notice...when I'm not around. So fucking special. I wish I was special." - Radiohead

"You may be one person to the world, but to one person, you may be the world." - Unknown

"Despair, regret, and tenderness is what I feel for you. I loved you from the very start. What else could I do? You read my mind. You made me cry. Time stood still. And now I know the reasons why...time stood still. Maybe you're the next best thing to happen. All the things we could have been...A flame becomes a fading light that burns inside my heart. And like the castle in the sand, it had to fall apart." - Madonna

"Time to gather up the splinters and build a casket for my tears...I'm haunted...by the lives that I've loved and the actions that I've hated." - Poe


I really can't explain this one. The song just intrigues me. One of those songs that you should know why it touches you, but you just can't put you're finger on it.

"You in the dark, you in the pain, you on the run. Living a hell, living your ghost, living your end. Never seem to get in the place that I belong. Don't want to lose the time, lose the time to come on. Whatever you say it's alright. Whatever you do, it's all good. Whatever you say, it's allrriiight. Silence is not the way. We need to talk about it. If heaven is on the way, we'll wrap the world around it." - Bush - "Letting The Cables Sleep"

Great lyrics, great flow, just...lovely.

"I think the world of you. All of my heart I do. Blood through my veins for you. You alone have all of me. I give my world to you. To you I will be true-- I'll give my best for you." - DMB - "Rapunzel"

"Lovely lady, I will treat you sweetly. Adore you, I mean...You Crush me. And it's times like these when I think that feeling, I know how I love you. My love, my love, We'll beat back the pain we've found. You know I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking, deep inside, my friend. Each moment the more I love you. Crush me, come on, baby..." - DMB - "Crush"

"This is the place where I sit. This is the part where I love you too much. Is this as hard as it gets? 'Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough. I'm here if you want me. I'm yours you can hold me. I'm empty and shakin' and tumblin' and breakin' 'cause you don't see me. And you don't need me. And you don't love me...the way I wish you would. The way I know you could..." - Letters To Cleo

"Should be happy to be loved. Happy to be...unburdened by the thought, that I could still be lonely. I think you're the one-- everyone agrees. But, some come can see the face of love and walk away in disbelief. It's all I can feel...Should be happy to be loved. Happy to be, with someone who knows and understands me. I think you're the one-- everyone agrees. But, some can touch the hand of love and pull away in disbelief. It's all I can feel..." - Tracy Chapman

"All I ever needed I could never find. All I ever wanted was to get it right. Somebody tell me what is wrong with me. I wasn't sure, but I know now I believe, that it must be...love don't love me, love don't love me. No, it don't love me." - Eric Benet

"Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another." - Madonna


Another album that blew me away. David Gray - White Ladder

"Please forgive me if I act a little strange, for I know not what I did. Feels like lightning running through my veins, every time I look at you...Help me out here, all my words are falling short and there's so much I want to say. Want to tell you just how good it feels when you look at me that way. When you look at me that way. Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow, moving out across the bay. Like a stone I fall into your eyes-- deep into some mystery. Deep into that mystery." - David Gray - "Please Forgive Me"


"Difficult to feel a little bit disappointed and passed over when I look right through, see you naked but oblivious...and you don't...see...me. But I threw you the obvious, just to see if there's more behind the eyes of a fallen angel. Eyes of a tragedy. Here I am expecting just a little too much from the wounded, but I see, see through it all, see through...see you...'cause I threw you the obvious to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy...oh well. Oh well." - A Perfect Circle

"I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away." -
Neil Young

"Remembering all the times you fought with me, I'm surprised it got so far. Things aren't the way they were before. You wouldn't even recognize me anymore. Not that you knew me back then, but it all comes back to me in the end. You kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart. What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter. I had to fall to lose it all. But in the end, it doesn't even matter." - Linkin Park

"...famous faces, far off places, trinkets I can buy. No handsome stranger, heady danger, drug that I can try. No ferris wheel, no heart to steal, no laughter in the dark. No one night stand, no far off land, no fire that I can spark. The face of you-- my substitute for love. Should I wait for you? My substitute for love....you see?" - Madonna


Still adding...
