Last Song Syndrome

this song is better heard than read. kind of like what John Donne complains of in "The Triple Fool".  poetry made into song would hurt twice as much.

it’s not really poetry but pain is there. Ryan Cabrera everybody.

A photo, can say a thousand things
But it can’t say the million things
I wanna say
A photo, can capture the way we were
But it can’t capture the way we are
Cause you’re far away

What it’s like to know you
What it’s like to touch you
Yeah…

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words?
You can’t tell me you don’t need me
And I know that hurts
Cause I’m looking at your picture
Cause it’s all I’ve got
Maybe one day, you and me will have
One more shot

Timing, lost minutes and moments
Yeah, I might be lonely, girl
But I’m not afraid
In a second, it all comes right back to me
No, nothing’s forgotten now
Yeah, everything’s saved

What it’s like to touch you
What it’s like to know you
Yeah…

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words?
You can’t tell me you don’t need me
And I know that hurts
Cause I’m looking at your picture
Cause it’s all I’ve got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

You were my life
You were my faith
You gave me hope everyday

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words
You can’t tell me you don’t need me
And I know that hurts
Cause I’m looking at your picture
Cause it’s all I’ve got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

Hinder kinda sounds like Nickelback. it’s the first time i heard this band and i like how the vocalist sings this song.

Honey why you calling me so late?
It’s kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper ’cause I can’t be too loud

Well, my girl’s in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It’s really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It’s funny that you’re calling me tonight
And, yes, I’ve dreamt of you too
And does he know you’re talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don’t think she has a clue

Well my girl’s in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It’s really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It’s really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

i have a friend who calls me by this name. it’s also a good song by Yuna Ito.

Hitori de aruite yukou…

Ano hi kimeta koto wo

Mou kuyande wa nai

Setsunaku itamu toki mo aru

Though I’m still in love

Mayoi wa shinai

Moshimo kono saki ni

Kibou toiu

Hikari ga aru no naraba

Deaeta koto ga, kitto

Ikite yuku tsuyosa ni naru

Aishita hibi aisareta toki

Ano nukumori wa kie nai

I can’t say anything to you

Donna kotoba mo

Subete wo tsutae kire nai kara

Aitakute mo ae nai yoru wa

Nemure nai heya ni dakare

I still believe in love mou ichido

Akirame nai de shinjiru koto ga

Faith in my future

Show me the way

To the days of yesterday

Nagedashite shimaeba

Tayasui koto dakedo

Kono wagamama wo

Uketomete kureta yasashisa ni

Kotaetai kara

Hitonami no naka de

Yurarete mo nao

Kawara nai mono ga aru

Tachi domaru tabi ni yomigaeru

Ano yume ga shirushi dakara

Akireru hodo arifurete yuku

Tayori nai kono jiyuu ni

Don’t make it fade away to be

Nagasare naide

Kokoro wo tsunaide yuku kara

Aitakute mo ae nai yoru wa

Anata no koe ga kikitai

I do believe in love hanarete mo

Tsutsumareteru to shinjiru koto ga

Faith in my future

Akirame nai de shinjiru koto ga

Faith in my future
