Fiona Apple - Better Version of Me

The nickel dropped
When I was on
My way beyond
The Rubicon
What did I do

And of the games that I can handle
None are ones worth the candle
What can I do

I'm a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'
What should I do

Oooh, after all the folderol,
And hauling over coals stops
What will I do

Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don't feel just to smile until I've had one
Where did I learn

I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where's the turn

I don't want a home, I'd ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it a turn

Oh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What did I learn

I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry or complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damned breeze dry my face

Oh, mister, wait until you see
What I'm gonna be

I've got a plan, a demand and it just began
And if you're right, you'll agree

Here's coming a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me

Lifehouse - Broken

The Broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
And I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating...

Bright Eyes - Lover I Don't Have to Love

I want a lover I don’t have to love.
I want a girl who is too sad to give a fuck.
Where’s the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said to meet him here but I’m not sure…

I want a lover I don’t have to love.
I want a boy who is so drunk that he doesn’t talk.
Where is the kid with the chemicals?
I have got a hunger and I can’t seem to get full.

I need some meaning I can memorize.
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind…

But life is no storybook.
Love is an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt.

Do you like to hurt?
I do, I do.
Then hurt me.

Imogen Heap - Speeding Cars

The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it’s more than just bad luck

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels

happy valentine's day...

i dig it

how awesome would it be to have a president who could be remembered for having said things like, "In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope." rather than a president who will be known best for saying things like, "Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?" and "There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again."

this pretty much sums up how i feel about dating right now:

Can't knock em out, can't walk away.
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say,
Just get out my face, just leave me alone,
And no you can't have my number,
"Why?"
Because I've lost my phone....
Go away now, let me go.
Are you stupid? Or just a little slow?
Go away now I've made myself clear,
Nah it's not gonna happen,
Not in a million years.

adawg and i tried to find a website that will dump someone for you by email. didn't find it, but i did find this site which has a list of break up lines. my faves?

"I really feel that we have major differences...I like playing the accordian, and growing pot...you don't."

and

"I'm really sorry to have messed you about, but being with you has made me realise that I am gay and I can't string you along anymore."
