High Hopes
Bittersweet. Wonderful Things, yet still so much unknown. Love and heartache.
I had a good day. I have a renewed confidence in the world today... renewed hope for a future. Despite alllll of the bad, the things I still have to face, the choices I have to make, the heartache I'll always have. The song "High Hopes" says it well.....
"It's time to let it go, go out and start again
But it's not that easy
But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, oh, when it all comes to an end
But the world keeps spinning around
And in my dreams, I meet the ghosts of all the people who have come and gone
Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon
Now evil is just staring at the barrel of a gun
And I do believe
Believe I've got high hopes
It takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, oh, when it all comes to an end
And the world keeps spinning
Yeah, the world keeps spinning around"
Anyhow, also... please check out some of the other sections of my website such as the page for my mother; pages about "Things That Are Important To Me" such as Leiomyosarcoma, Breast Cancer, Online Harrasment/Bullying/Revenge Porn. I've updated quite a few of those things with some resources, pictures, small stories, etc.
It's strange how you can be full of Hope and Sorrow at the same time.
Ellie Goulding - "I Know You Care"
"Clinging to me Like a last breath you would breathe You were like home to me I don't recognize the street Please don't close your eyes Don't know where to look without them Outside the cars speed by I never heard them until now I know you care, I know it is always been there But there is trouble ahead I can feel it You are just saving yourself when you hide it Yeah, I know you care I see it in the way that you stare As if there was trouble ahead, and you knew it I'll be saving myself from the ruin And I know you care I use to run down the stairs, to the door And I thought you were there To shape to the comfort of us Two lovers loved out of love Oh, but I know you care I know it is always been there But there is trouble ahead I can feel it You are just saving yourself when you hide it Yeah, I know you care I see it in the way that you stare As if there was trouble ahead, and you knew it I'll be saving myself from the ruin I know it wasn't always wrong But I've never known a winter so cold Now I don't want my hands in a coat But I still hope 'Cause this is how things ought to have been And I know the worst of it wasn't all that it seemed Why can't I dream? Do I care to dream? 'Cause I know you care And I know you care I know you care I know you care I know it's always been there"
Kodaline - "High Hopes"
"Broken bottles in the hotel lobby Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again I know it's crazy to believe in silly things But it's not that easy I remember it now, it takes me back to when it all first started But I've only got myself to blame for it, and I accept it now It's time to let it go, go out and start again But it's not that easy But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again High hopes, oh, when it all comes to an end But the world keeps spinning around And in my dreams, I meet the ghosts of all the people who have come and gone Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon Now evil is just staring at the barrel of a gun And I do believe Believe I've got high hopes It takes me back to when we started High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again High hopes, oh, when it all comes to an end And the world keeps spinning Yeah, the world keeps spinning around High hopes, it takes me back to when we started High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again High hopes, oh, And the world keeps spinning Ooh, yeah this world keeps spinning How this world keeps spinning around"
Birdy - "All You Never Say"
"You've been searching Have you found many things? Time for learning Why have I not learnt a thing? Words with no meaning Have kept me dreaming But they don't tell me anything And all you never say is that you love me so All I'll never know is if you want me oh If only I could look into your mind Maybe then I'd find a sign Of all I want to hear you say to me To me Are you uncertain? Or just scared to drop your guard? Have you been broken? Are you afraid to show your heart? Life can be unkind But only sometimes You're giving up before you start And all you never say is that you love me so All I'll never know is if you want me oh If only I could look into your mind Maybe then I'd find a sign Of all I want to hear you say to me To me All you never say is that you love me so All I'll never know is if you want me oh If only I could look into your mind Maybe then I'd find a sign Of all I want to hear you say to me To me"
On And On - "Drifting"
"I had a dream and when I woke up You were finally there And I believe that many hours turned to minutes, It's not fair And I when I turned to where you should've been I started drifting! I tried to stare into your eyes and realized That there was something missing And if I stayed, I couldn't help but lay awake 'Cause it's not you, it's just a dream It's only fake Just gotta leave, I gotta leave Turn the key, I tried I tried to drive away into the night Tried to keep, I try to keep between the lines and outa sight And when I look beside me where you should've been I started drifting! I tried to stare into your eyes and realized That there was something missing And if I stayed, I couldn't help but lay awake 'Cause it's not you, it's just a dream It's only fake Just gotta leave, I gotta leave I get out, I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get out And I when I turned to where you should've been I started drifting! I tried to stare into your eyes and realized That there was something... And if I stayed, I couldn't help but lay awake 'Cause it's not you, it's just a dream It's only fake Still if I changed everything would be the same I can't take no more I don't know what I'm fighting for, I just gotta leave, I gotta leave I had a dream and when I woke up You were finally there When I woke up You were finally there When I woke up You were finally there"
Selena Gomez - "Same Old Love"
"Take away your things and go You can't take back what you said, I know I've heard it all before, at least a million times I'm not one to forget, you know I don't believe, I don't believe it You left in peace, left me in pieces Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees Right now, 'ow I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up I’m so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough Oh, (that same old love) Oh, (that same old love) I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart Oh, (that same old love) Oh, (that same old love) I'm not spending any time, wasting tonight on you I know, I've heard it all So don't you try and change your mind 'Cause I won't be changing too, you know You can't believe, still can't believe it You left in peace, left me in pieces Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees Right now, 'ow I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up I’m so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough Oh, (that same old love) Oh, (that same old love) I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart Oh, (that same old love) Oh, (that same old love) I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up I’m so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough Oh, (that same old love) Oh, (that same old love) I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart Oh, (that same old love) Oh, (that same old love)"
Christina Perri - "The Lonely"
"Two am, where do I begin Crying off my face again The silent sound of loneliness Wants to follow me to bed I'm a ghost of a girl That I want to be most I'm the shell of a girl That I used to know well Dancing slowly in an empty room Can the lonely take the place of you I sing myself a quiet lullaby Let you go and let the lonely in To take my heart again Too afraid, to go inside For the pain of one more loveless night For the loneliness will stay with me And hold me till I fall asleep I'm a ghost of a girl That I want to be most I'm the shell of a girl That I used to know well Dancing slowly in an empty room Can the lonely take the place of you I sing myself a quiet lullaby Let you go and let the lonely in To take my heart again Broken pieces of A barely breathing story Where there once was love Now there's only me And the lonely Dancing slowly in an empty room Can the lonely take the place of you I sing myself a quiet lullaby Let you go and let the lonely in To take my heart again"
