ah.

It kills me so much- it makes me alive.

Glen Hansard, you know my heart.

LEAVE

"I can't wait forever is all that you said
Before you stood up
And you won't disappoint me
I can do that myself
But I'm glad that you've come
Now if you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And free yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
I don't understand, you've already gone

And I hope you feel better
Now that it's out
What took you so long
And the truth has a habit
Of falling out of your mouth
But now that it's come
If you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And please yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you came to now
Leave, leave,
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave,"

ALONE APART

"How many times have I been here
How many times was I lost
And how many times I'd be lost in the sea
If you weren't there to rescue me

We're sailing, sailing every night
We're drifting, drifting alone apart
Not to show that we're in need
But I'd heal your wounds if you bleed

How many times have I hurt you
How many times have you
And how many times I'd been on my knees
Begging, begging please forgive me

We're sailing, sailing every night
We're drifting, drifting alone apart
Not to show that we're in need
But I'd heal your wounds if you bleed

Thank you for being so patient with me
I've been weaker than I ought to be
Despair and jealousy blinded my mind
And I couldn't see how you're trying for me"

....

You held on so tight dear

Everything that we went through

I know you're getting tired

of waiting on me

my heart is so damn restless

but you love patiently

When the sun sets

and I don't have an answer yet

just tell me that you love me

and that it'll never be too late

It'll never be too late

Glen is the man.

Music is so powerful and so awesome.

I have come across some spectacular material lately and honestly,

it takes my breath away.

I get chills when I find these songs,

these albums that speak for and to my heart completely.

I recently bought Glen Hansard's debut solo album.

I have to say, I am absolutely in love.

So beautifully written.

I am always drawn to subject matter such as love and relationships.

In life, it is always something that is so potent and convoluted.

When you're in love, in search of love..you are enveloped in it.

It is your world..because it affects you on so many levels.

Its intoxicating.

For me at least.

I always find it hard to translate my feelings into words because I feel so much I don't know what to say or where to begin.

But this album articulates everything I have felt and feel about love and loss so perfectly with such simplicity that ...

you just get it. You get it.

You feel it.

Again, his simplicity ...ah, I am in awe.

Lured.

You don't have to say a word,

Your actions have said it all.

Why do you keep lying to me,

just to make me fall.

Maybe you care a little,

not enough to follow through.

Here I am still waiting,

left over hope I can't undo.

You're so very sweet

singing me this love lullaby,

I can't help but be lured

and sing back in reply.

Let me ask you one thing.

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Why do you sing with me at all?

Sick of you, sick for you.

Dear you,

I want to be chased after, I want to be fought for.

How funny that I had that but let it go.

What is wrong with me?

I have what I want, but then I let it go.

Once its gone, I want what I had.

And knowing me, when I have what I want, I won't want it anymore.

Fuck the grass and its greenness.

You know what, no, I know what I want...

You think maybe if I had the right kind of what I want, then I'd want it forever?

Im not used to the whole dating scene.

Having stability for 3 years...

I didn't have to deal with the bullshit of reading in between the lines.

I don't want to read in between the lines.

Tell me what you want, how you feel.

Please. Please. Please.

"And why do you sing Hallelujah

If it means nothing to you.

Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before.

When there's nothing to give,

Well how can we ask for more."

[Damien Rice: Delicate]
