Can't Lose What You Never Had

Westlife

Baby you're so beautiful
And when I'm near you I can't breathe
A girl like you gets who she wants
When she wants it
You're so out of my league
I show you no emotion
Don't let you see what you're doin' to me
Imagine the two of us together
But I've been livin' in reality

Fear of rejection, kept my love inside
But time is running out, so damn my
Foolish pride

[Chorus:]
Don't care if you think I'm crazy
Doesn't matter if it tums out bad
'Cause I've got no fear of losin' you
You can't lose what you never had

Rules are made for breaking
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained
I'll be no worse off then I am right now
And I might never get the chance again

Tried to fight it but it cannot be denied
Told my heart I didn't want you but I lied

[Chorus:]

Now I'm gonna confess that I love you
I been keepin' it inside feelin' I could die
Now if you turn away then that's o.k.
At least we'll have a moment before
You say good-bye

Here on the outside lookin' in
Don't want to stay dreamin' 'bout
What could have been
I need to hear you speak my name
Even if you shoot me down in flames

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
