It's a beautiful but sad song. And I love it. XOXO JenN
"In Another Life"
I have known you my whole life When you were ten, you said you'd make me your wife Eight years later you won me over Just as I took the world on my shoulders
I got used to living without you Endless phone calls and dreaming about you Always said that you were my man to be But I guess I was in love with your memory
You know I love you, I really do But I can't fight anymore for you And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again Sometime, in another life In another life
I know I said that I would keep my word I wished that I could save you from the hurt But things will never go back to how we were I'm sorry I can't be your world
You know I love you, I really do But I can't fight anymore for you And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again Sometime, in another life In another life (another life)
The way you're holding on to me Makes me feel like I can't breathe Just let me go, just let me go It just won't feel right inside God knows I've tried
You know I love you, you know I do But I can't fight anymore for you And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again Sometime, in another life
This song always makes me want to throw my hands up in the air and dance around as I sing my lungs out to the song~ *blush* So here's the lyrics to the song that you can listen to on my player and I hope you get the thrill I get from this song.
XOXO JenN
Got up on the wrong side of life today yeah Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late My phone doesn't work cause it's out of range Looks like it's just one of those kind of days You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground No you can't cause you couldn't catch me anyhow Blue skies but the sun isn't coming out no Today it's like I'm under a heavy cloud
And I feel so alive I can't help myself, don't you realize
I just wanna scream and lose control Throw my hands up and let it go Forget about everything and runaway yeah I just want to fall and lose myself Laughing so hard it hurts like hell Forget about everything and runaway yeah
So So is how I'm doing if you're wondering I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning Stay there come closer it's at your own risk Yeah you know how it is life can be a bitch
But I feel so alive I can't help myself, don't you realize
I just wanna scream and lose control Throw my hands up and let it go Forget about everything and runaway yeah I just want to fall and lose myself Laughing so hard it hurts like hell Forget about everything and runaway yeah
Runaway Runaway……
I just wanna scream and lose control Throw my hands up and let it go Forget about everything and runaway yeah I just want to fall and lose myself Laughing so hard it hurts like hell Forget about everything and runaway yeah (x2)
Together we made it We made it even though we had our backs Up against the wall
See a nigga survived the worst But my life is glorious (uh! ) But I know that I leaped every hurdle And I'm so victorious (uh! ) Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness Now call a nigga Morpheus (yeah) As force securin' the win, but they Believe I'm so notorious (yeah) You know that I've been 'bout my bread Even though we rappin' now (yes) We used to live on the strip even though A nigga higher level trappin' now (oh! ) Superseded everyone of my little struggles and (uh! ) So failure has never ever been an option (trust) A nigga paper long like rush hour traffic And I'm about to take the hood shoppin' (get it! )

When it all got started we were steadily Just getting rejected And it seemed like nothin' we could do Could ever get us respected At best we were stressed at the worst They probably said we're pathetic Had all the pieces to that puzzle Just the way to connect it I was fighting through every rhyme Tightening up every line Never restin' the question if I Was out of my mind It finally came time to do it or let it die So we put the chips on the table and Told them to let it ride, sing it (yeah)
Together we made it (say we did it niggas) We made it even though we had our backs Up against the wall (come on) Forever we waited (ah hah) And they told us we were never gonna Get it all we took it on the road To the riches (on the road) To the ghetto (on the road) In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road) Rise with me (on the road) Come and get it (on the road) Yeah, yeah, yeah, look
In case you misunderstand exactly what I'm buildin' This shit that I can leave for My children's (children's) children's (children) Now on the wake up I smile, to see how far I've come (yeah) Fighting for sales when I'm stripped To negate the hustle from (yeah) From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son (yeah) To countin' money like Dre and Jimmy and Russel was (yeah nigga) But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it (oh! ) Let's make a toast to the hustle Regardless how you get it, sing it
Together we made it (say we did it niggas) We made it even though we had our backs Up against the wall (come on) Forever we waited (ah hah) And they told us we were never gonna Get it all we took it on the road To the riches (on the road) To the ghetto (on the road) In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road) Rise with me (on the road) Come and get it (on the road) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I honestly didn't realize at all how numb I've become and what have been the caused of it..it's this constant feeling of pain inside of me that somehow feels like it's not there...I'm miserable I'll admit it I'll typed it out in my blog for the world to see I'll admit it..what's left to hide? I'm sure everyone feels the same...I know I'm not alone but in a way I am alone...It's not another phase in life..I know I need to do something to feel good about myself...I hated it at National Service..but when I come home...I don't feel the love..I don't feel wanted in a way..I feel like I'm a burden...and their throwing hints of expectation of hopes and dreams that they want fulfilled..I don't know if I am able to do those things...I'm not like those kids who are blessed with talent who don't seem to have a lazy bone in them..I wish I was like them..honestly I do..but I'm not..and no matter how much I wish I could be like them I can't, sometimes I feel like I've let them down...sometimes I hate them for turning me into what I am..I know what I want..at least I thought I did...but what I want..isn't what they want..someone ones told me that you have to be selfish to get what you want sometimes...but their selfishness over shadows mine...I don't blame them for everything...sometimes I do..sometimes I don't...sometimes I feel more hurt than love...but most of the time all I feel is rage..wrath...maybe it's from the hurts in the past..betrayal of friendship..sometimes at night when I'm alone the same conversation from a lost friend keeps playing in my head...I know sounds like something from TV..but it is exactly how it feels...I can still remember how naive I was...and how she sounded..she knew what she was talking about and she knew how the world was even at a young age..I just wanted to believe that everything was really that simple but it's not. And now I know...and I know it's only going to get worst..but already I feel numb.
Every time I hear this song..it gives me chills..not necessarily a bad thing..but it also gives me a sense of comfort..cause the lyrics is exactly how we all feel.
Linkin Park - Numb video (lyrics below)
I'm tired of being what you want me to be feeling so faithless lost under the surface I don't know what you're expecting of me put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow] every step that I take is another mistake to you [caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you
can't you see that you're smothering me holding too tightly afraid to lose control cause everything that you thought I would be has fallen apart right in front of you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow] every step that I take is another mistake to you [caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow] and every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numb I can't feel you there become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you
And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there Is everything what you want me to be I've become so numb I can't feel you there Is everything what you want me to be
If you actually listen to the song closely and read the lyrics as well...you'll know that we all go through the same things sometimes so don't try to deny it. So here's the lyrics for those that were too lazy to see the auto scroll lyrics box.
Lie awake in bed at night And think about your life Do you want to be different? Try to let go of the truth The battles of your youth 'cause this is just a game
It's a beautiful lie It's a perfect denial Such a beautiful lie to believe in So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
It's time to forget about the past To wash away what happened last Hide behind an empty face Don't ask too much, just say 'cause this is just a game
It's a beautiful lie It's a perfect denial Such a beautiful lie to believe in So beautiful, beautiful it makes me...
Everyone's looking at me I'm running around in circles, baby A quiet desperation's building high I've got to remember this is just a game
So beautiful, beautiful... (A beautiful lie) It's So beautiful, beautiful...
It's a beautiful lie It's a perfect denial Such a beautiful lie to believe in So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
