Everything - Alanis Morissette

♫I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you've never met anyone
Who is as negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest woman you've ever met.
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected.
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
Who's as positive as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you've never met anyone as,
As closed down as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

I'm the funniest woman that you've ever known
I'm the dullest woman that you've ever known
I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known
And you've never met anyone
Who is as everything as I am sometimes.♫

you might want a manual

a playbook

Rule Of Woman

this one, this woman

oh...you'd be so bored

you might want me stable

and predictable

agreeable and hanging on

your immutable suggestions

as if they were my very own

because my mistakes might be minimized

and your awkwardness reduced

oh...but I'd be so bored

What If - SafetySuit

♫What if it makes you sad at me
and what if it makes you laugh now but you cry as you fall asleep
And what if it takes your breath and you can't hardly breathe
And what if it makes the last sound be the very best sound

What if what I want makes you sad at me
And is it all my fault or can I fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you

What if it makes you lose faith in me,
what if makes you question every moment you cannot see
And what if it makes you crash and you can't find the key
What if it makes you ask how you could let it all go

What if what I want makes you sad at me
And is it all my fault or can I fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you

And if this be our last conversation
If this be the last time that we speak for awhile
Don't lose hope and don't let go
Cause you should know

If it makes you sad
If it makes you sad at me
Then it's all my fault and let me fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you

What if what I want makes you sad at me
And if it's all my fault then let me fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you.♫


Song Written, Owned, and Played by SafetySuit

"Be happy to me mommy"
he would say
and perhaps my displeasure
had been pointed solely in my own right
when he jogged left

and how could I
have been so insistent on my way
as if my path
the only one

but I couldn't have steered
so far wrong
could I?
I mean...
now he's not right, nor left

just south

You Don't Have To Believe Me - Eric Hutchinson

"You don't have to believe me I'm just speaking my mind
you look lovely as always you get that all the time
you don't have to believe me when I tell you that i'm impressed
but you sure better believe me when I say you deserve the best

you don't have to believe me but i'm not gonna lie
i've seen all the attention you get from other guys
you don't have to believe me when i tell you i like your dress
but you sure better believe me when i say you deserve respect

it feels like nobody's on your side no access to your pride
you gotta learn to take control your whole body is a temple so
you've got a choice to make and your mind is what's at stake
so before we build this love please believe that you're good enough

you don't have to believe me but I'm not often wrong
they've been taking advantage and it's gone on too long
you don't have to believe me when we're dancing out on the floor
but you sure better believe me when i say you are worth much more

you don't have to believe me
but you sure better believe me when i tell you you're due for love

i don't want nobody else
and nobody else is gonna treat you the way they ought to
and that's what you deserve
if I could make you see it
so you can truly believe it
so you won't even need it
no, no, no, no, no, no, no

you don't have to believe me
and i continue on
you've still got the potential
that you've had all along
you don't have to believe me when
you're shaking what you got
but you sure better believe me when
i tell you your mind's what's hot."

There were younger days
when skin spoke loudly
and the math of your face,
that perfect formula
over which you can stake no claim,
dictated you were beautiful

it wouldn't matter now
if you hadn't skin at all!
show me every thought
and then believe me when I tell you
your mind's what's hot.

(Silly, I know. But we, as women, try to believe this. Media keeps shitting on it. Sometimes I hate the media. Then it turns, and I hate society even more because of what they choose to consume. Media is only the conduit for our purchase. Hate is a strong word, but I use strong words. I feel strong words.)

Fat Bottom Girls - Antigone Rising

Ha! I forgot....I DO have a happy song! Love this version so much better than Queen (sorry to die hard fans to whom I have just offended) but this version simply rocks! It must be played loud with your best girl friends!

 

I Need To Know - Kris Allen

♫Life's been blinding me
From what I thought I'd see
Is there clarity in this insanity?
What's she want from me?

Roads in front of me
Taking me astray
Are you leaving me?
Or are you leading the way?
Can you hear what I'm sayin'?

Feel like I'm tryin' to breathe under water
Tryin' to climb but I keep fallin' farther
Will you take my hand?

Feel so far away
Want to see your face
Are you leaving me?
Can you show me?
Can you make me believe?

I need to know...♫

(Seems great acting to sing this so compellingly but not have lived it. Yet Justin Nozuka did just that in Save Him. It was not his experience, yet Save Him was the only song during which I have ever had to pull over on the side of the freeway and give it my full attention. Pieces of my heart were missing after that song, and will always litter HWY 99.)

I've been everything you sought
and nothing you needed
I've held to the fabric that wove you
laid you out flat
reshaped into the same rigid box
no smaller, or bigger in the disservice.

Through the ringer
of an unbalanced Maytag.

I needed to know...

Behind the Scenes - Francesca Battistelli

♫You may think
I’m just fine
How could anything
Ever be out of line?

I take my time
To set the stage
To make sure everything
Is all in place

Even though I’ve got the lines rehearsed
A picture only paints a thousand words

Things aren’t always what they seem
You’re only seeing part of me
There’s more than you could ever know
Behind the scenes
I’m incomplete and I’m undone
But I suppose like everyone
There’s so much more that’s going on
Behind the scenes

Sometimes I can’t see
Anything
Through the dark
Surrounding me
And at times I’m unsure
About the ground
Beneath my feet
If it’s safe and sound

When it’s hard to find hope in the unseen
I have peace in knowing it will find me

You may think I’m just fine
How could anything ever be out of line?♫


(This song is a favorite, not only for the truth it touches personally, but because it reminds me that no one is only what they present. There is much to consider in everyone, especially the unseen.)

When a Heart Breaks - Ben Rector

♫I woke up this morning
And I heard the news
I know the pain of a heartbreak
I don't have answers
And neither do you
I know the pain of a heartbreak

This isn't easy
This isn't clear
And you don't need Jesus
Til you're here
Then confusion and the doubts you had
Up and walk away
They walk away
When a heart breaks

I heard the doctor
But what did he say
I knew I was fine about this time yesterday
I don't need answers
I just need some peace
I just need someone who could help me get some sleep
Who could help me get some sleep

This isn't easy
This isn't clear
And you don't need Jesus
Til you're here
Then confusion and the doubts you had
Up and walk away
They walk away
When a heart breaks.♫


(He's got a blog! Doesn't include many words however. I like him...more for vocal styling and melody than lyrics. New on my playlist today. Wondering why I can't find more female singers I like? Wondering if I'm biased? I'd cop to it if I was, but I do seek them out...keep hoping, always to be disappointed. But that in itself is part of my nature. Blerk! )



This is just fun...something I would do.
