Its not me you want
But im fairly sure someone else will prove to be
Suitable to suit your needs

I try my best but he�s proved that love is effortless
And I guess it must be something I�ve not done

Not having done nothing is getting you someone else

But oh oh oh oh
Its just a crying shame
You wont
Do anything I ask
But baby please don�t comfort me
This misery inspires me

Its not right anyway
For me to decorate the grayest gray
With shades my hands are actually becoming

Oh hey there little one
I wanna hear it from your mouth
Are we having fun?

To insecure to keep you around here anyway
I guess ill settle for some other ones who are the one

Not having done nothing is getting you someone else

But oh oh oh oh
Its just a crying shame
You wont
Do anything I ask you
Baby please don�t comfort me
This misery inspires me
Oh oh oh oh

How is this?
Lady
Hows this for a name
No no no

But oh oh oh oh
Its just a crying shame
You wont
Do anything I ask you
Baby please don�t comfort me
This misery inspires me
Oh oh oh oh

    I think its "I tried my best but he's proved that love is effortless" and also, "Its not right anyway"

    As for the "....becoming" part I have no idea lol XD

    and then at the end I think its... "I don't want this (I want this) You can have it (What do you mean I can't have this?) I don't want this love"

    I think its:

    'Its not right, anyway For me to decorate the grayest gray With a shade more intellectually becoming.'

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
