Let It Go...

Let It Go
Tim McGraw

I’ve been caught sideways out here on the crossroads
Trying to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul
It’s hard when the devil won’t get off your back
It’s like carrying around the past in a hundred pound sack

{Chorus}
Today I’m gonna keep on walking
I’m gonna hold my head up high
I’m gonna leave it all behind
Today I’m gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah

Skeletons and Ghosts are hiding in the shadows
Threatening me with all the things that they know
Choices and mistakes, they all know my name
But I’m through holding in and holding onto all that pain

Today I’m gonna keep on walking
I’m gonna hold my head up high
Got No more tears to cry
Today I’m gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah

I know I know I know I’ve been forgiven
I know I know I know I’m gonna start living
Today I’m gonna keep on walking
I’m gonna hold my head up high
I’m gonna leave it all behind
Today I’m gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah
Oh yeah

When It Rains...

When It Rains
Eli Young Band

Give me skies of black and blue, the way you make me feel.
Give me skies of green and red, cold winds will make it real.
Storms are brewing deep within of hurt and loss of pride.
It's good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside.

When it rains, I don't mind being lonely.
I cry right along with the sky.
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy.
I don't even have to try.
when it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown.
So I fit right in.
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain.

I don't care about politics or the hypocrites on my T.V.
I'm not mad at the girl who left because she couldn't be with me.
So make up the theories about the scandals and the lies.
Start out depressed, everything comes as a pleasant surprise.

When it rains, I don't mind being lonely.
I cry right along with the sky.
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy.
I don't even have to try.
When it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown.
So I fit right in.
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain.

When it rains, I don't mind being lonely.
I cry right along with the sky.
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy.
I don't even have to try.

When it rains, I don't mind being lonely.
I cry right along with the sky.
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy.
I don't even have to try.
when it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown.
So I fit right in.
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain.

Footprints

Footprints in the sand tell me where I've been. They show the hurt, sorrow and pain then the purity of the rain sweeps it away. The happiness here, the laughter there, showing all the people in which I care. Strength in the deep footprints, uncertainty in the light, no matter what it will be alright. The rain or the rising water come to sweep it all away, ready for the start of a brand new day.

Fooled Me Once, Fooled Me Twice AKA the other half of the story

Fooled me once, you got my hopes up. Holding my hand you gave my stomach a million butterflies
Fooled me once, you seem too good to be true, I wish I would've known the real you.
Fooled me once, you treated me wrong, but I dismissed it for way too long.
Fooled me once, you captured my heart just to hand it back all broken apart.
Fooled me once, I vowed it would never happen again.

Fooled me twice, you sucked me in with beautiful words, not knowing they might as well of been swords.
Fooled me twice, you made me feel important, in the way you made your commitment.
Fooled me twice, my heart was saying "go" but my mind knew your real plan and kept telling me "no"
Fooled me twice it happened the same way as before and this time it was way to obvious to ignore
Fooled me twice, one too many times, never again will I eat up your lies.
Fooled me twice, the least time I swear, because this time was the last time for you I'll ever care.

"I Still Miss You" AKA the biggest mistake of my life

"I Still Miss You," singing that song to me. It opened my eyes so your feelings I could see. The hurt in your words, the hope in your voice, asking me to make a choice. Anticipation seeping through the chambers of your heart, right out of you. Into my heart your hope found its way and there it made its mind to stay. The look in your eyes, the feel of your touch, makes my heart flutter and butterflies pop up. Now why won't you give me a chance? You said your piece its my turn for mine. I heard that song today, I think it was a sign telling me that finally I'm yours and you are mine. So make your mind up, don't make me wait, if you wait too long it may be too late.


"I Still Miss You"
Keith Anderson

I've changed the presets in my truck
so those old songs don't sneak up
they still find me and remind me
yeah you come back that easy
try restaurants I've never been to
order new things off the menu
that I never tried cause you didn't like
two drinks in you were by my side

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you
I still miss you baby

I never knew til you were gone
how many pages you were on
it never ends I keep turning
and line after line and you are there again
I dont know how to let you go
you are so deep down in my soul
I feel helpless so hopeless
its a door that never closes
no I don't know how to do this

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything
move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything
move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah

I still miss you
I still miss you...... yeah.... yeah.....

Amanda

Your deep blue eyes are staring intently into mine
Your golden brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail you did all by yourself
Smiling so big, it seems your face isn't big enough to contain it
Absently playing with my hair, you dont even know you're doing it
Singing softly a song you just made up
Sitting quietly on my lap, you sense I need a hug
So intuitive and smart, nothing ever gets past you
You cuddle into the crook of my arm, in that way you always do
The sky is the limit for you amazing girl
The world seems to stop at the beauty in which you dance and twirl
I don't know how you do it
With that twinkle in your eye
But because you loved me
I just couldn't say goodbye
