Wish i had told her how i feel
Maybe she'd be here right now
But instead...


I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls close in more everyday
And I'm dyin inside
And nobody knows it but me

Like a clown I put on a show
Pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didnt I say
The things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away?
Now my world is just a tumblin down
I can say it so clearly
But your no where around

Chorus:
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
And I'm tremblin inside
And nobody knows it but me

I lie awake, its a quarter past 3
I'd scream it at night if I thought you'd hear me
Yeah my heart is calling you
And nobody knows it but me
Baby

How blue can I get
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle its been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say
Just how I feel
A million years from now you know I'll be loving you still

Chorus:
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

Nobody, nobody but me

Tomorrow morning I'm hitting the dusty road
Gonna find you where ever, ever you might go
And I'm gonna hold my heart
And hope you come back to me

Yeah say when...

Chorus:
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

    This song has some history with me. It was a song between my first reel boy/girl relationship after I moved away. My favorite lines would be: The nights are lonely, the days are so sad And I just keep thinking about the love that we had And I'm missing you And nobody knows it but me I carry a smile when I'm broken in two And I'm nobody without someone like you And I'm tremblin inside And nobody knows it but me I lie awake, its a quarter past 3 I'd scream it at night if I thought you'd hear me Yeah my heart is calling you And nobody knows it but me

    This song is immaculate. The "Tony Rich Project" does a nice version, which is the one I'm familar with. I'm not sure who covered it or what not but I feel power whenever I hear this song.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."
