holding on to letting go....
music is just such a big part of my life.... it just makes since that in a time like this, when i'm going through what i preceive to be a huge change, that i would lean on it. but there isn't one song. there isn't just one song to make me go "that's how i feel, that's what i'm going through, that's what's happened".... so now i get to take little lines from all the songs i've clinged to over the last week...
"Let's talk this over, It's not like we're dead. Was it something I did? Was it something you said?..... You've got your dumb friends, I know what they say. They tell you I'm difficult? Well so are they " - Avril Lavigne "My Happy Ending"
"She didn't care if she saw me in her life. I left it up for her to decide. She couldn't see the end, neither could I so I can't complain, I guess I can't complain" - Nickel Creek "Can't Complain"
"I didn't hear you say you're sorry, The fault must be mine. I wish you all the best of luck At finding somebody more like you... You said you'd love me always, truly, I must have changed. Cause you don't need me like you used to. I hope you find somebody more like you" - Nickel Creek "Somebody More Like You"
"Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty?... It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care. You touched my heart you touched my soul, You changed my life and all my goals. And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you... I know you well, I know your smell, I've been addicted to you... And as you move on, remember me, Remember us and all we used to be... Goodbye my friend. You have been the one." - James Blunt "Goodbye My Lover"
"There's a giant step between love and understanding, And baby I think you stoped at love. But sooner or later you're gonna have to take me as I am... I love you too much baby, For you to be with me" - Shea Seger "Love You Too Much"
"Take your space and take your reasons, But you'll think of me... We have nothing left to weather, In fact I'll feel a whole lot better, But you'll think of me... Someday I'm gonna run across your mind, Don't worry, I'll be fine, I'm gonna be alright. While you're sleepin' with your pride, Wishin' I could hold you tight, I'll be over you And on with my life." - Keith Urban "You'll Think Of Me"
"If you wanna leave, I won't beg you to stay. And if you gotta go, darling, Maybe it's better that way. I'm gonna be strong, I'm gonna do fine, Don't worry about this heart of mine..." - Ace Of Base "Don't Turn Around"
"...Indecision to call you, And hear your voice of treason. Will you come home and stop this pain tonight? Stop this pain tonight. Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head. I miss you" - Blink182 "Miss You"
"And I don't know where you went when you left me but It says here in the water you must be gone by now. I can tell some how... One hand on the trigger of the telephone, wondering when the call comes When you say it's all right, You got your heart right...
All you need is love, is a lie cause We had love but we still said goodbye Now we're tired, battered fighters. And it stings when it's nobody's fault Cause there's nothin' to blame at the drop of your name It's only the air you took and the breath you left...
I called Because I just Need to feel you on the line, Don't hang up this time. And I know it was me who called it over but I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day. Don't let me get away" - John Mayer "Split Screen Sadness"
"Things are gonna happen naturally. Oh, taking your advice and I'm looking on the bright side And balancing the whole thing. Oh, but at often times, those words get tangled up in lies And the bright light turns to night. Oh, until the dawn it brings Another day to sing About the magic that was you and me. Cause you and I both loved, What you and I spoke of, And others just dream of, others only read of the love... And it's okay, If you had to go away Oh, just remember the telephones, Well, they're working in both ways" - Jason Mraz "You And I Both"
"Dreams for last so long, Even after you're gone. I know, that you love me... I saw a movie but it just wasn't the same, Cause it was happy or I was sad And it made me miss you oh so bad... I go about my business, I'm doing fine, Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line? Same old story, not much to say, Hearts are broken every day... And then I take a deep breath and a good look around, Put on my pj's and hop into bed. I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead, I try and tell myself it will be all right, I just shouldn't think anymore tonight" - Jewel "You Were Meant For Me"
"I know you think that I shouldn't still love you Or tell you that. But if I didn't say it, Well, I'd still have felt it. Where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were... I understand if you can't talk to me again... And when we meet, Which I'm sure we will, All I was then Will be there still. I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on" - Dido "White Flag"
"You were once my one companion, You were all that mattered... Then my world was shattered. Wishing you were somehow here again.

Knowing we must say goodbye, Try to forgive, teach me to live. Give me the strength to try" - Phantom Of The Opera "Wishing You Were Somehow Here"
"I could never love again So much as I love you... Take my heart, take my eyes, Cause I need them no more If never again they’ll fall upon, The one I so adore" - Dave Matthews Band "Grace Is Gone"
"People have the right to fly And will when it gets compromised. Their hearts say "Move along", Their minds say "Gotcha heart, Let's move it along."... And that's the way this wheel keeps working now... You can find me If you ever want again, I'll be around the bend... And if you never stop when you wave goodbye You just might find if you give it time you will wave hello again" - John Mayer "Wheel"
"Love can be a many splendored thing, Can't deny the joy it brings: A dozen roses, diamond rings, Dreams for sale and fairy tales. It'll make you hear a symphony And you just want the world to see, But like a drug that makes you blind It'll fool ya every time. The trouble with love is It can tear you up inside, Make your heart believe a lie, It's stronger than your pride. The trouble with love is It doesn't care how fast you fall, And you can’t refuse the call See you've got no say at all " - Kelly Clarkson "Trouble With Love Is"
"Every time she closed her eyes She saw what could have been. Well, nothing hurts and nothing bleeds When cover's tucked in tight. Funny when the bottom drops How she forgets to fight... And it's one more day in paradise, One more day in paradise. As darkness quickly steals the light That shined within her eyes, She slowly swallows all her fear And soothes her mind with lies... Don't pretend to hold it in, just let it out" - Vanessa Carlton "Paradise"
"You were a friend... You see, it was my fault. Of course it was mine... I'm sorry for wasting your time. Who am I to say this situation isn't great? When it's my job to make the most of it, Of course I didn't know that it would happen to me. Not that easy. Hey. What's that you say? You're not blaming me for anything? Well, that's great, but I don't break that easy... So, that's why I'm, I'm apologizing now For telling you I thought that we could make it. I just don't get enough to believe that we've both changed...
Well, neither one of us deserves the blame, Because opportunities moved us away. It's not an easy thing to learn to play A game that's made for two. That's you and me, The rules remain a mystery." - Jason Mraz "Absolutely Zero"
"I will not make the same mistakes that you did. I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery... You never thought of anyone else You just saw your pain" - Kelly Clarkson "Because Of You"
"You say I only hear what I want to. You say I talk all the time... And I thought what I felt was simple... I don't understand if you really care, I'm only hearing negative... Lover's in love and the other's run away, Lover is crying cause the other won't stay
Some of us hover while we weep for the other who was... I'm thrown... You try to tell me that I'm clever, But that won't take me anyhow, Or anywhere with you... You said that I was naive, And I thought that I was strong but now I know that I was wrong, cause I missed you... Cause you know you're just so scared to lose" - Lisa Loeb "Stay"
"And so it is, Just like you said it would be. Life goes easy on me Most of the time... Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind?" - Damien Rice "Blower's Daughter"
"I'm so used to doing everything with you, Planning everything for two. And now that we're through, I just don't know what to do with my time... Come back I will be around, Just waiting for you. I don't know what else to do" - Nicky Holland "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"
"Pretend you don’t know me so well, I won't tell if you lie. Cry, cause your drought's been brought up ... Even only 24 hours under your touch You know I need you so much, I cannot wait to call you... Feeling guilty for the luck And the look that you gave me. You make me somebody Oh, nobody knows me, But not even me can see it yet... Here I'm tumbling for you. Stumbling through the work that I have to do, Don't mean to harm you" - Jason Mraz "Plane"
"Driving away from the wreck of the day... Desperately close to a coffin of hope, I'd cheat destiny just to be near you. If this is giving up, then I'm giving up... Love doesn't hurt so I know I'm not falling in love, I'm just falling to pieces... And maybe I'm not up for being a victim of love. When all my resistance will never be distance enough. Driving away from the wreck of the day And it's finally quiet in my head. Driving alone, finally on my way home To the comfort of my bed" - Anna Nalick "Wreck Of The Day"
"I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh. I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away. I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well... And I don’t feel like I am strong enough. Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away. The worst is over now and we can breathe again I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away. There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight" - Seether & Amy Lee - "Broken"
"Look at me, my depth perception must be off again, Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did... Would you find it in your heart, To make this go away... Look at me, my depth perception must be off again, You got much closer than I thought you did. I'm in your reach, You held me in your hands" - Saliva "Rest In Pieces"
"I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you. But who can decide what they dream, and dream I do. I believe in you... Have you forgotten all I know and all we had? You saw me mourning my love for you And touched my hand. I knew you loved me then...
If I look deep enough, So many things inside that are just like you are taking over" - Evanescance "Taking Over Me"
"Almost made you happy, baby, Didn't I?... You almost had me thinkin' You were turned around, But everybody knows Almost doesn't count...What was always missin' for you Baby, you'd found it in me... I can't keep lovin' you One foot outside the door. I hear a funny hesitation Of a heart that's never really sure. Can't keep on tryin' If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you And what you came here for. I've gotta find somebody Who's not afraid to let go... You came real close... Maybe you'll be sorry, Maybe you'll be cold. Maybe you'll come runnin' back From the cruel cruel world. You almost convince me You're gonna stick around. But everybody knows Almost doesn't count. Maybe I'll be here, Maybe I'll see ya 'round. That's the way it goes. Almost doesn't count" - Mark Wills "Almost Doesn't Count"
"I guess you get used to somebody, Kind of like havin' them around. I guess you get used to the way they make you happy Bring you up when you're feelin' down. I never dreamed when I was letting you go That I would wake up and miss you this much I guess you get used to somebody, I guess you get used to bein' loved. I kinda miss those ramblin' conversations Where we talked about nothin'. The way you always made me laugh at my frustrations? Baby, that was somethin'" - Tim McGraw "Used To Somebody"

"It's like a knife, through the heart when it all comes apart. It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon. It's a hole, it's a cave, It's kind of like a grave... And why they call it falling? Now I know" - Lee Ann Womack "Why They Call It Falling"
"I can't get to sleep, I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications. Especially at night, I worry over situations I know will be alright. Perhaps it's just imagination... Ghosts appear and fade away, Come back another day. Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation... At least there's pretty lights And though there's little variation It nullifies the night from overkill. Day after day it reappears, Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear" - Colin Hay - "Overkill"
"So just say how to make it right And I swear I'll do my best to comply... 'I feel I must interject here, you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself with these revisions and gaps in history. So let me help you remember; I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear, I've prepared a lecture... Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future, Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures'... I know that I have made mistakes, and I swear I'll never wrong you again. 'You've got a lure I can't deny, but you've had your chance So say goodbye' " - Postal Service "Nothing Better"
"I wish this could be a happy song. But my happiness disappeared the moment you were gone. Don't think I ever believed that this day would come. Now all I'm feeling is lost and numb... I'll always be thankful for the time we had, We were blessed I should celebrate but I feel too sad... Walking, holding hands, Talking, making plans. Touching my heart, my soul... Tell me it's not happening, Say it's not as it seems. Tell me that I'm gonna wake up, It's just a bad dream. Please tell me that it's fiction, Tell me it's just a lie... Well I, yes I, miss you want you by my side" - Jem "Missing You"
"It gains the more it gives, And then it rises with the fall... So let go, jump in, Oh well whatcha waiting for? It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown. " - Frou Frou "Let Go"
"Another day has almost come and gone, Can't imagine what else could go wrong. Sometimes I'd like to hide away, Somewhere and lock the door, A single battle lost, but not the war. 'Cause tomorrow's another day, And I'm thirsty anyway, So bring on the rain... Yeah, I might feel defeated, And I might hang my head... But I'm not gonna let it get me down, I'm not gonna cry And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight" - Jo Dee Messina "Bring On The Rain"
"But there are somethings in life that are not meant to be, I'm not meant for you, and you're not meant for me. Here's to our problems and here's to our fights, Here's to our achings and here's to your having A good life... Cuz, there's someone for you and there's someone for me Like me, you'll meet them eventually... Now I'm regretting the moves that I made, Fatal mistakes I so easily made. Enough of my problems they only cause fights, Forget that I rang you and promise that you'll have Such a beautifully happy and painlessly romantic Good life" - Francis Dunnery "Good Life"
"You've been my golden best friend, And now with post-demise at hand I can't go to you for consolation Cuz we're off limits during this transition. This grief overwhelms me, It burns in my stomach And I can't stop bumping into things. I thought we'd be simple together. I thought we'd be happy together. Thought we'd be limitless together. I thought we'd be precious together. But I was sadly mistaken. You've been my soulmate and then some. I remembered you the moment I met you... This loss is numbing me it pierces my chest, And I can't stop dropping everything" - Alanis Morissette "Simple Together"
"Where do we go from here? The battle's done and we kind of won So we sound our victory cheer... Why is the path unclear When we know home is near? Understand we'll go hand in hand, but we'll walk alone in fear" - Cast Of Buffy "Where Do We Go From Here"
"I think I've already lost you. I think you're already gone. I think I'm finally scared now, You think i'm weak, I think you're wrong... I think you're so mean, I think we should try. I think I could need this in my life... If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home. There's an awful lot of breathing room, But I can hardly move... I bet you’re hard to get over. I bet the room just won’t shine. I bet my hands I can stay here, I bet you need - more than you mind" - Matchbox 20 "If You're Gone"
"I was stupid for a while, Swept away by you. And now I feel like a fool. So confused, My heart's bruised. Was I ever loved by you? Out of reach, so far, I never had your heart. Out of reach, Couldn't see We were never Meant to be... Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK... Takes a while To regain What is lost inside. And I hope that in time, You'll be out of my mind And I'll be over you" - Gabrielle "Out Of Reach"
"I should go out tonight Get on with my life, Break these chains of solitude. With a little luck and a little help, I might even find myself In the arms of someone new. Cause once you've loved somebody It ain't that easy to do. Once you've loved somebody Like I loved you. Look what you've gone and done, Ruined everything for anyone... I gave you everything That I had to give. I don't know if I could go that far again" - Dixie Chicks "Once You've Loved Somebody"
"Of all the things I've believed in, I just want to get it over with. Tears form behind my eyes, But I do not cry. Counting the days that pass me by. I've been searching deep down in my soul. Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old. Feels like I'm starting all over again... Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything I thought I knew. You were the one I loved, The one thing that I tried to hold on to. I still get lost in your eyes... And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time. I want what's yours and I want what's mine. I want you, But I'm not giving in this time" - Michelle Branch "Goodbye To You"
wow that was a lot of typing.... i suppose just one more?
"He drowns in his dreams, An exquisite extreme, I know. He's as damned as he seems, And more heaven than a heart could hold. If I tried to save him My whole world could cave in. It just ain't right, it just ain't right. Oh and I don't know, I don't know what he's after. But he's so beautiful, Such a beautiful disaster. And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter. Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster. He's magic and myth. As strong as what I believe. A tragedy with More damage than a soul should see. And do I try to change him? So hard not to blame him. Hold on tight, hold on tight. Oh 'cause I don't know, I don't know what he's after. But he's so beautiful. Such a beautiful disaster. And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter. Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster. I'm longing for love and the logical But he's only happy, hysterical. I'm waiting for some kind of a miracle Waiting so long, So long. He's soft to the touch But frayed at the end, he breaks. He's never enough And still he's more than I can take. Oh 'cause I don't know, Don't know what he's after. But he's so beautiful, Such a beautiful disaster. And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter. Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster. He's beautiful, Such a beautiful disaster" - Kelly Clarkson "Beautiful Disaster"

"I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh. I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away. I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well... And I don’t feel like I am strong enough. Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away. The worst is over now and we can breathe again I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away. There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight" - Seether & Amy Lee - "Broken"
"Look at me, my depth perception must be off again, Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did... Would you find it in your heart, To make this go away... Look at me, my depth perception must be off again, You got much closer than I thought you did. I'm in your reach, You held me in your hands" - Saliva "Rest In Pieces"
"I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you. But who can decide what they dream, and dream I do. I believe in you... Have you forgotten all I know and all we had? You saw me mourning my love for you And touched my hand. I knew you loved me then...
If I look deep enough, So many things inside that are just like you are taking over" - Evanescance "Taking Over Me"
"Almost made you happy, baby, Didn't I?... You almost had me thinkin' You were turned around, But everybody knows Almost doesn't count...What was always missin' for you Baby, you'd found it in me... I can't keep lovin' you One foot outside the door. I hear a funny hesitation Of a heart that's never really sure. Can't keep on tryin' If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you And what you came here for. I've gotta find somebody Who's not afraid to let go... You came real close... Maybe you'll be sorry, Maybe you'll be cold. Maybe you'll come runnin' back From the cruel cruel world. You almost convince me You're gonna stick around. But everybody knows Almost doesn't count. Maybe I'll be here, Maybe I'll see ya 'round. That's the way it goes. Almost doesn't count" - Mark Wills "Almost Doesn't Count"
"I guess you get used to somebody, Kind of like havin' them around. I guess you get used to the way they make you happy Bring you up when you're feelin' down. I never dreamed when I was letting you go That I would wake up and miss you this much I guess you get used to somebody, I guess you get used to bein' loved. I kinda miss those ramblin' conversations Where we talked about nothin'. The way you always made me laugh at my frustrations? Baby, that was somethin'" - Tim McGraw "Used To Somebody"

"It's like a knife, through the heart when it all comes apart. It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon. It's a hole, it's a cave, It's kind of like a grave... And why they call it falling? Now I know" - Lee Ann Womack "Why They Call It Falling"
"I can't get to sleep, I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications. Especially at night, I worry over situations I know will be alright. Perhaps it's just imagination... Ghosts appear and fade away, Come back another day. Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation... At least there's pretty lights And though there's little variation It nullifies the night from overkill. Day after day it reappears, Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear" - Colin Hay - "Overkill"
"So just say how to make it right And I swear I'll do my best to comply... 'I feel I must interject here, you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself with these revisions and gaps in history. So let me help you remember; I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear, I've prepared a lecture... Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future, Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures'... I know that I have made mistakes, and I swear I'll never wrong you again. 'You've got a lure I can't deny, but you've had your chance So say goodbye' " - Postal Service "Nothing Better"
"I wish this could be a happy song. But my happiness disappeared the moment you were gone. Don't think I ever believed that this day would come. Now all I'm feeling is lost and numb... I'll always be thankful for the time we had, We were blessed I should celebrate but I feel too sad... Walking, holding hands, Talking, making plans. Touching my heart, my soul... Tell me it's not happening, Say it's not as it seems. Tell me that I'm gonna wake up, It's just a bad dream. Please tell me that it's fiction, Tell me it's just a lie... Well I, yes I, miss you want you by my side" - Jem "Missing You"

"Another day has almost come and gone, Can't imagine what else could go wrong. Sometimes I'd like to hide away, Somewhere and lock the door, A single battle lost, but not the war. 'Cause tomorrow's another day, And I'm thirsty anyway, So bring on the rain... Yeah, I might feel defeated, And I might hang my head... But I'm not gonna let it get me down, I'm not gonna cry And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight" - Jo Dee Messina "Bring On The Rain"
"But there are somethings in life that are not meant to be, I'm not meant for you, and you're not meant for me. Here's to our problems and here's to our fights, Here's to our achings and here's to your having A good life... Cuz, there's someone for you and there's someone for me Like me, you'll meet them eventually... Now I'm regretting the moves that I made, Fatal mistakes I so easily made. Enough of my problems they only cause fights, Forget that I rang you and promise that you'll have Such a beautifully happy and painlessly romantic Good life" - Francis Dunnery "Good Life"
"You've been my golden best friend, And now with post-demise at hand I can't go to you for consolation Cuz we're off limits during this transition. This grief overwhelms me, It burns in my stomach And I can't stop bumping into things. I thought we'd be simple together. I thought we'd be happy together. Thought we'd be limitless together. I thought we'd be precious together. But I was sadly mistaken. You've been my soulmate and then some. I remembered you the moment I met you... This loss is numbing me it pierces my chest, And I can't stop dropping everything" - Alanis Morissette "Simple Together"
"Where do we go from here? The battle's done and we kind of won So we sound our victory cheer... Why is the path unclear When we know home is near? Understand we'll go hand in hand, but we'll walk alone in fear" - Cast Of Buffy "Where Do We Go From Here"
"I think I've already lost you. I think you're already gone. I think I'm finally scared now, You think i'm weak, I think you're wrong... I think you're so mean, I think we should try. I think I could need this in my life... If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home. There's an awful lot of breathing room, But I can hardly move... I bet you’re hard to get over. I bet the room just won’t shine. I bet my hands I can stay here, I bet you need - more than you mind" - Matchbox 20 "If You're Gone"
"I was stupid for a while, Swept away by you. And now I feel like a fool. So confused, My heart's bruised. Was I ever loved by you? Out of reach, so far, I never had your heart. Out of reach, Couldn't see We were never Meant to be... Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK... Takes a while To regain What is lost inside. And I hope that in time, You'll be out of my mind And I'll be over you" - Gabrielle "Out Of Reach"
"I should go out tonight Get on with my life, Break these chains of solitude. With a little luck and a little help, I might even find myself In the arms of someone new. Cause once you've loved somebody It ain't that easy to do. Once you've loved somebody Like I loved you. Look what you've gone and done, Ruined everything for anyone... I gave you everything That I had to give. I don't know if I could go that far again" - Dixie Chicks "Once You've Loved Somebody"
"Of all the things I've believed in, I just want to get it over with. Tears form behind my eyes, But I do not cry. Counting the days that pass me by. I've been searching deep down in my soul. Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old. Feels like I'm starting all over again... Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything I thought I knew. You were the one I loved, The one thing that I tried to hold on to. I still get lost in your eyes... And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time. I want what's yours and I want what's mine. I want you, But I'm not giving in this time" - Michelle Branch "Goodbye To You"
wow that was a lot of typing.... i suppose just one more?
"He drowns in his dreams, An exquisite extreme, I know. He's as damned as he seems, And more heaven than a heart could hold. If I tried to save him My whole world could cave in. It just ain't right, it just ain't right. Oh and I don't know, I don't know what he's after. But he's so beautiful, Such a beautiful disaster. And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter. Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster. He's magic and myth. As strong as what I believe. A tragedy with More damage than a soul should see. And do I try to change him? So hard not to blame him. Hold on tight, hold on tight. Oh 'cause I don't know, I don't know what he's after. But he's so beautiful. Such a beautiful disaster. And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter. Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster. I'm longing for love and the logical But he's only happy, hysterical. I'm waiting for some kind of a miracle Waiting so long, So long. He's soft to the touch But frayed at the end, he breaks. He's never enough And still he's more than I can take. Oh 'cause I don't know, Don't know what he's after. But he's so beautiful, Such a beautiful disaster. And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter. Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster. He's beautiful, Such a beautiful disaster" - Kelly Clarkson "Beautiful Disaster"
