DPP: Don't Forget The Lyrics
It's Wednesday, it's time for a game! So, for today, I'm bringing back a game that some of you might have played a couple years back with taragel-- Name That Tune (Don't Forget The Lyrics, in this case).
So here's the deal: I put my music player on shuffle and I'm going to post a whole bunch of lyrics that remind me of pilots from the songs that came up below. Your job is to guess the name and artist of the song, which will be 1 point for you. Bonus point if you post the next line to the song. At the end, I'll tally up the scores, and I think there will be a prize to be won here...
Additional lyrics will be added throughout the day. If you have some lyrics to add to the list, PM me with the lyrics, song title, artist, & the next line and I'll add them-- of course, don't answer them once I put them up.
Without further ado, here are some lyrics:
1. You loved me because I’m fragile/When I thought that I was strong/But you touch me for a little while/And all my fragile strength is gone… Gravity by Sara Bareilles
2. I really don’t mind what happens now and then/As long as you’ll be my friend at the end… Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down
3. You’re hiding regret in your smile/There’s a storm in your eyes I’ve seen coming for a while… Lie by David Cook
4. I was alone in the dark and the fear was my truth/Yeah, all the things that you are/Beautifully broken, alive in my heart…
5. We’ve got our backs against the ocean/It’s just us against the world…
6. Don’t walk away/Don’t say goodbye/Don’t leave me here, no not tonight/Don’t walk away like any other time…
7. But I loved you/And I lost you/And I will never be the same…
8. Why are the things that I want to say/Just aren’t coming out right?/I’m tripping on words/You got my head spinning…
9. She said ‘I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough’/I’m little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in/And I don’t know if I’ve been really loved by a hand that’s touched me… Push by Matchbox Twenty
10. I could watch as you fade away, but I hold on to the pain/In these arms that just let you go/On these lips that said your name/Couldn’t know it would hurt this hard to hear you close that door…
11. Have you ever looked fear in the face/And said ‘I just don’t care’?... Glitter in the Air by Pink
12. You just stand there/I could say so much/But I don’t go there ‘cause I don’t want to… Back 2 Good by Matchbox Twenty
13. It was easier to kiss you/Than to tell you how I feel…
14. The world is coming down around me/And I can’t find a reason to be loved/I never want to leave you/But I can’t make you bleed if I’m alone… Arms by Christina Perri
15. You’re the only one I’ve ever believed in/The answer that could never be found… Let Love In by The Goo Goo Dolls
16. Nobody said it was easy/It’s such a shame for us to part/Nobody said it was easy/No one ever said it would be this hard… The Scientist by Coldplay
17. I’m falling apart/I’m barely breathing/With a broken heart/That’s still beating… Broken by Lifehouse
18. But I’m the only one/Who’ll walk across the fire for you/And I’m the only one/Who’ll drown in my desire for you/It’s only fear that makes you run… I’m the Only One by Melissa Etheridge
19. I’m as free as a bird now/This bird you can’t chain/This bird you can’t change… (hint: I was listening to the cover, not the original) Freebird cover by Katee Sackhoff, original by Lynyrd Skynyrd
20. I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well/I wanna hold you high and steal your pain… Broken by Seether ft. Amy Lee
21. I've got some imperfections/But how can you collect them all/And throw them in my face?...
22. Well, I'm not paralyzed/But I seem to be struck by you/I want to make you move/Because you're standing still... Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
23. I always knew that you'd come back to get me/And you always knew that it wouldn't be easy/To go back to the start to see where it all began/Or end up at the bottom to watch how it all ends...
24. I know you'll come back someday/On a bed of nails, I'll wait/I'm praying that you don't burn out/Or fade away... Somewhere Out There by Our Lady Peace
25. No more tears, but the memories will live on, yeah/All the smiles last for miles/And I'll see you even after you're gone...
26. I know that I've got issues/But you're pretty messed up too/Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you... My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson
27. But nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on yourself/Just remembering, just remembering how we were/And we will only need each other/We'll bleed together... The Special Two by Missy Higgins
28. So I wear you out/So who would've thought that you'd still be here now...
29. I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again/And I caused nothing but trouble/I understand if you can't talk to me again... White Flag by Dido
30. We crash and we roll/You surround me, pull me, drown me, then swallow me whole... Run by Matt Nathanson & Jennifer Nettles
31. But I can't find enough of anything/To drown out what you said/And sometimes I find I catch myself/Letting you back in... Sad Songs by Matt Nathanson
Guess away!
