Music is my Therapy

Song: Reverse Artist: Goo Goo Dolls And in my ignorance I thought that I found this Yeah, I was drunk tonight when I thought I caught a glimpse of you Up on the rooftop painting pictures of memories And I know you lied to me, but I love the stories Holding out for something more Like a drug that I abuse It's crazy but it's all we know It's broken but it's true, yeah You can save my life if you stay all night But you don't owe me in the morning You could read my mind, you could make my heartbeat But you never gonna own it Let me know, let me know Are you out? Are you in? Will you say so? Yeah we can't hold on and we can't let go Stuck in reverse Your broken glass shines like diamonds in the street It's a brilliant distraction from all of this deceit And I, I think it's crazy how we took it way too far Is it naive to wanna hit rewind, and get back to the start? Holding out for something more Like a drug that I abuse It's crazy but it's all we k

Song: Free of Me Artist: Goo Goo Dolls I watch your patience going strong I saw it in there all along But there's no records there to keep Because you took them in your sleep now And I feel you holding back on the same things that you're lacking of The simple things keep coming back to me And when your voice is gone cause you're crying out too long You know your words were echoing with me And when you're pushed to tears from the magnets of the years And the life you're living since you're free Free of me Thank God for every single time We got to see a new sunrise But when the darkness got too deep You chose to put it all to sleep now And I feel you holding back all the same things that you're lacking of The simple things keep coming back to me And when your voice is gone cause you're crying out too long You know your words were echoing with me And when you're pushed to tears from the voices over years And the life you're living since you're

Song: Boxes Artist: Goo Goo Dolls I need a family to drive me crazy Call me out when I'm low and lazy It won't be perfect, but we'll be fine Cause I've got your back, and you've got mine You got mine We'll have tiny boxes for memories Open them up and we'll set them free There'll be bad days and some hard times But I'll keep your secrets, if you keep mine You are the memory that won't ever lapse When twenty five years have suddenly passed Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know Your love's the one love that I need to know Take my picture and then you laugh Cause I hate the way I look in photographs Keep your memories, but don't live the past I'm looking forward to the best days we will have You are the memory that won't ever lapse When twenty five years have suddenly passed Wherever you take me, it's clear I will go Your love's the one love that I need to know You are

Song: The Pin Artist: Goo Goo Dolls   Another incredible song from this incredible album from an incredible band. Again, it's all about those LYRICS! Powerful. Meaningful. Not to mention, the song itself is catchy. I don't know why we can't hear songs like this playing on the radio!     I would give what's left of me away Twist and turn just to hear you say That you still think I'm beautiful I'm worth a chance Even still today The battle plan has left me weak and worn Into directions I feel like I've been torn We used to live without the shame We used to love without the blame We're going up and down Hold on We're crashing to the ground And anytime you kneel I'll open up again You reach inside of me And then you pull the pin And then you pull the pin Oh, you pull the pin And then you pull the pin We're doing penance for all our petty crimes On our knees, oh we're just killing time First we bend and th

Song: Flood Artist: Goo Goo Dolls Feat. Sydney Sierota   Such a cute song! And the girl singing with Johnny is from the band Echosmith. This song makes me think of having a relationship with someone who is very closed off and gaurded but because of the genuine love and acceptance from another person they are able to open up and let them in. I know it sounds cheesy but I find it very sweet and romantic. And I hope to experience this with someone special :) I am very private, so the man I open up to will truly have been the "flood that opens my heart." :) LOVE this song so much!     I wanna see what you see in me And never let you down Can you still feel my love? I walked away from the piece of me A dying ghost in an old machine Oh please, don't cry, my love I was a blind man chasing shadows It was a cold hair man I'd known Wherever you go I will follow Like an orphan running home You're the flood, you're the flood, you're the fl

Song: Through Heavens Eyes Artist: Dreamworks, The Prince of Egypt   I read an inspiring talk today that made me think of this song. This song is wonderful and I love the lyrics. It's also from a great movie :) I love the message that we all matter. We all play a part in this life. We are all needed. Our unique talents and personalities are needed. We all have the power to do good. There are people out there who need us, exactly the way we are. Just as there are people that we need. It's hard for me to remember that. It's hard for me to see my worth. I feel so down on myself all of the time. I don't think there is anything specail about me or anything that I could offer that could mean something to someone else. I'm not smart, I'm not outgoing, I'm not good at speaking inspirational words of encourgment, I can barely talk to people in general! But the message of this talk and this song remind me that I do matter. And I can make a difference. I'

Song: Souls in the Machine Artist: Goo Goo Dolls   I am in LOVE with this beautiful song! The lyrics are incredibly powerful and inspiring to me. This song is all about finding yourself. Your real, true self. And that can be a scary thing. I'm still trying to get to know who I am. What are my passions? My goals? What do I want in life? I love the encouragement and empowerment found in these lyrics. This album is full of beautiful and uplifting lyrics, it makes me feel so good inside when I listen to them! This album, all of these songs, need way more recognition! Amazing!   "We all got deamons, we all get scared.....when life gets hard, we get brave, we all get scared, it's okay!"     All this time I was losing control Chasing a life that would steal my soul Too many faces, too many lies Too many hands trying to steal this prize We all got demons We all get scared On our knees hoping someone cares And all we need is a little honesty right

Song: Over and Over Artist: Goo Goo Dolls   My poor blog has been neglected for far too long! And enough with the depressing, emotional posts, gosh! Even though things are difficult right now, there are a few things that have been making me very happy lately. And one of those things is the Goo Goo Dolls new album Boxes. I am SO obsessed with this album! I have been listening to it on repeat for dayzzz!   SO. I'm going to make a goal. I will post EVERY SINGLE DAY this week and each day will be one of the new songs from Boxes. It will be sort of a like a review on each song off the album.   Sound good? I think it does. Plus, all of these songs are so positive and uplifting and I just love 'em! So it's going to be fun! Enjoy!   This song is so much fun! Perfect song to open the album with. From the second it starts you know "this is going to be good! " It's one you definitely want to BLAST in your car with the windows down, fist-p

Song: We Don't Have to Dance Artist: Andy Black   Will I never be able to just be normal!? Why do I have to live life in a constant state of fear, pain, lonliness, regret, guilt and sadness!? Why won't anyone help me!? Why won't things go right in my life!? EVER!? NO ONE UNDERSTANDS! NO ONE KNOWS HOW THIS FEELS!!! And no one cares .   "You're never gonna get it, I'm a hazard to myself, I'll break it to you easy, this HELL this HELL !"     Record scratch; Steve Miller Band Tattooed necks and tattooed hands Oh, how don't you drown in a rain storm? Fresh regrets , vodka sweats The sun is down and we're bound to get Exhausted and so far from the shore   You're never gonna get it I'm a hazard to myself I'll break it to you easy This is hell, this is hell You're looking and whispering You think I'm someone else This is hell , yes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET PUPPY DOG!!!   I have to give a little shout out to my sweetest, truest and most loyal friend on his 12th birthday today!! I have been though  a lot with this little guy. He has always been there for me. He has loved me on my best days and he has loved me on my darkest nights. He has been 110% faithful. I truly can feel the genuine love my dog has for me. That might sound crazy to some people, some people might think "Wow, it's just a dog!" But he's not "just a dog" to me. He is my best friend, my confidant, my biggest fan, my comforter, my protector. He is family. He is a gift I am thankful for every single day. There is no way I would have made it this far without him. There have been days he has been the only one there for me. He has been my only friend for years. I am so grateful he is so healthy and happy! At twelve years old he still loves going on long walks (and I'm talking LONG ....like an hour to an hou
