Radiohead - High And Dry
Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that’s pretty clever, don’t you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You’d kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror
You’re turning into something you are not
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They’re the ones who’ll hate you
When you think you’ve got the world all sussed out
They’re the ones who’ll spit at you
You will be the one screaming out
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Oh, it’s the best thing that you ever had
Best thing that you ever ever had
It’s the best thing that you ever had
Best thing you ever had has gone away
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
"Just because I'm hurting, doesn't mean I'm hurt, doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved"
“I spent my life learning to feel less. Every day I felt less. Is that growing old? Or is it something worse? You can not protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.”
— Jonathan Safran Foer (via thechocolatebrigade) (via youaremysunshineee) (via a-thousand-words)
“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
—John Lennon (via quote-book)
"Whether you loved and gave everything or loved but held out for some things, if the relationship ends, you still get hurt. But if you gave your everything, you were happy and you could say that it was worth it. If you didn’t give your all, you get hurt for nothing."
“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (via hunsonisgroovy) (via quote-book)
“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)
Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man
weep for yourself, my man,
you’ll never be what is in your heart
weep little lion man,
you’re not as brave as you were at the start
rate yourself and rake yourself,
take all the courage you have left
wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn’t I, my dear?
didn’t I, my
tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble little lion man,
you’ll never settle any of your score
your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
now learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn’t I, my dear?
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn’t I, my dear?
didn’t I, my dear?
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn’t I, my dear?
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn’t I, my dear?
didn’t I, my dear?
I tried my hardest, and I gave it everything. If that isn't enough, then I couldn't have done anything more.
