Hold On (To Hope)

[Thirteen]

Lets see... Songs that help me feel better include...

"Fireflies" by Owl City Something about this song, it's just, happy.

"Big Casino" by Jimmy Eat World This song has a very optimistic theme.

"I Wish" by Angelwish No lyrics, a great tune, just nice for relaxing.

"Not Enough" by Our Lady Peace This one only really helps when I'm crying. Don't know why, to be honest.


Thats all I can think of for now. This is a really good thread idea.

"Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah"

Suggesting it's best that I slow down"

Sorry if any of these are repeats!

Dare You To Move by Switchfoot - "I dare you to move like today never happened before."

Monster by The Almost - "Are you ready to live your life? Are you healed enough?"

[Nymous]

'I will survive', from Gloria Gaynor

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

[xxxAJxxx]

look for lyrics of "Dont Be Afraid" by Stereomud.
They inspired me to stand up for myself in life.

[thisiscourtney]

I have a new one! I honestly think it has the potential to save someone.

To Whom It May Concern by Underoath

So hold your head up high and know it’s
not the end of the road
Walk down this beaten path before you
pack your things and head home
At the end of the road you’ll find what
you’ve been longing for

I know ‘cause my feet have the scars to
show
I was lost with vague direction and no
place to call home

It’s time for you to press on
This is not your war
Set your sights to North and press on
This is not your escape
Wash away what they thought of you
Because in this place, we're all as good as
dead
...end cycle...

Behind the mask you’ll find yourself alone
It’s not the end of road for you

Set the Fire to the Third Bar - Snow Patrol ft. Martha Wainwright
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AozE5G1bppE

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms


Break Even - The Script
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bQRXgKowOQ

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a god that I don't believe in
'Cos I got time while she got freedom
'Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even

The best days of a summer far worse
She'll find a man and a man who's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake shes no trouble sleeping
'cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces

They say that things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even ohhhh
And what am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok
I'm faling to piecesx3
I'm still alive but the other one's leaving
'Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
you took the suitcase - I took the blame
Now I'm trying to make sense of what little remains
Oh cos you left me with no love in order to remain
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a god that I don't believe in
'Cos I got time while she got freedom
'Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break no it don't break no it don't break even

And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even
And what am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
I'm falling to pieces x3
I'm still alive but the other one's leaving.
I'm falling to pieces
'Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
Oh it don't break even no, it don't break even no
It don't break even no

[Fanatic]

There's a good song that would cheer people up maybe it's called:
By Your Side by Tokio Hotel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6o5K-BAuio
Also, there's a song that touched me and it always makes me feel better.
Don't Jump by Tokio Hotel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-lNBrZCJ9k

[✿ Orchidaceous]

You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds - Mayday Parade.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo6qe79baE0

And honestly, I have been begging for answers
That you and only you can give to me
A voice crying loud
I've been crying for days now
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
And I was nearly scared to death
(Why you left in paragraphs)
Why you left in paragraphs
(The words were nearly over us)
The words were nearly over us
You stop and turn and grab your bags

And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes
And every waves drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?

As hours move to minutes
And minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately awaiting
But my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark

So let me think of how to word it
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
I'm sure everything would find me
All that's left is just to sing

And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes
And every waves drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?

And if you sing to me sweet until then,
I may never sail Virginia again
And as this current moves slow for me
This much you must know of me again
And I'll have you know I'm scared to death

Tell me once again
That you'll love me to the death
And should I die, you swear that you will come for me
As I fade away, you reach out your hand
(And please don't let me go)
And please don't let me go
(And please don't let me go)
And please don't let me go

And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes
And every waves drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?

I'll Be Okay, by McFly - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yle1YEjmGf0

Although the tune is upsetting-ly cheerful, the lyrics are kind of nice.

[Lu82]

Within Temptation
"Pale"




The world seems not the same,
though i know nothing has changed,
Its all my state of mind,
i could leave it all behind,
have to stand up to be stronger

I have to try to break free from the thoughts in my mind,
use the time that i have,
i can't say goodbye, have to make it right,
have to fight cause i know in the end it's worthwhile,
that the pain that i feel slowly fades, away,
it will be alright,


I know, should realize, time is precious , it is worthwhile,
despite how i feel inside, have to trust it will be alright,
i have to stand up to be stronger.....

oh, this night is too long, have no strenght to go on,
no more pain,im floating away,
through the mist, i see the face of an angel, who calls my name,
i remember youre the reason i have to stay

[p.weaver22]

I always find that the band of horses lifts me up.

[Torhild]

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away
And you feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again

--Crash and Burn, Savage Garden

[SaveMe]

So I saw this, and thought it was adorable.
Made me smile, so hopefully it makes you guys too

[Illuminate]

The Fray - Trust Me
Looking for something I've never seen
Alone and I'm in between
The place that I'm from and
The place that I'm in
A city I've never been
I found a friend or should I say foe
Said there's a few things you should know
We don't want you to see
We come and we go
Here today, gone tomorrow

Coldplay - Fix You
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you

Mayday Parade - Save your Heart
She turns the pages every day
Just to change the mood
But every chapter reads the same
It's so hard to make it through
Just try to get up
You gotta slowly brush off
I know that words aren't enough
But you're better than this

Mayday Parade - Still Breathing
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing
Promise me some dignity
If I were to stand and die here
'Cause my heart is somewhere else
It's a pain I've never felt
Time's racing
(Please slow down)
I gotta find my way out
I'm hopeless
(But hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now
'Cause I'm still breathing

Snow Patrol - Run
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Snow Patrol - The Planets Bend Between Us
The winters mar the earth
It's floor was frozen glass
You slip into my arms
And you quickly correct yourself
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your words aloft
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
To swim about me forever more
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in america
It's all for you

Lifehouse - It Is What It Is
i was only trying to bury the pain
but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying
was only trying to save me
but i lost you again
now there's only lying
wish i could say it's only me

James Morrison - The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore
You pulled me under so I had to give in
Such a beautiful mess that's breaking my skin
Well I'll hide all the bruises; I'll hide all the damage that's done
But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone



All of these songs have helped me ... If I had to suggest one band to listen to it would be Mayday Parade.. they have helped me through a whole lot!

[sheissoweird]

A song I listen to when I feel down is Top Of The World by The Carpenters, I know it's not about suicide and such, but it makes me feel special, like there's someone waiting for me and someday I'll feel like the song lyrics. And Karen has a very good voice, I love it

[LillyWren]

Sorry it swears once. But whenever i hear this song it makes me think that someone out there will love me enoughthat i might be all they think about and all they want, or maybe i already met them

All I want - Staind

What I leave,
When you go.
What I see
and what you show,
And what I guess,
And when I don't
Is something you already,already know

[Chorus]
I can't live without
All I think about,
All i want is you,
You're all i dream about
I can't live without
All i want is you

The things I do
I go through
And all I see
When I'm awake
And what I make
The shit I take
Is something you already, already know

[Chorus]

Oh
Is you,
Is you,
Is you,
Is you,
You're all I dream about
That I can't live without
All i want is you

[Chorus]

(I can't live without)
You're all I dream about
(All I think about)
I just can't live without
(All I want is you)
And all I think about
(You're all I dream about)
Is you
(I can't live without)
(All I want is you)
And all I want is you.

Live Like You Were Dying - Tim McGraw

Verse 1
He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
Man what did ya do?
He said

Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

Verse 2
He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin, wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then

Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

Bridge
Like tomorrow was the end
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it

Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And man I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin' (4x)

Here Is Gone by The Goo Goo Dolls

You and I got something
But it's all then it's nothing to me
yah
I got my defenses
When it comes to your intentions to me
yah
And we wake up in the breakdown
In the things we never thought we could be
yah

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
We've got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can fear you falling
And I won't tempt to be
All you need
Somehow here is gone

I am no solution
To this sound of dispollution in me
yah
And I was not the answer so forget you if ever thought it was me
yah

I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
We've got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere
But you were never really ever there at all

And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can fear you falling
And I won't tempt to be
All you need
Somehow here is gone

And I don't need a fall out
Of all the past that's here between us
And I'm not holding on
And all your lies weren't enough to keep me here

And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can fear you falling
And I won't tempt to be
All you need
Somehow here is gone
And I want to get free
Talk to me
I can fear you falling

I know it's out there
I know it's out there
I can fear you falling
I know it's out there
I know it's out there
Somehow here is gone
I know it's out there
I know it's out there
Somehow here is gone

20 Good Reasons by Thirsty Merc

They say love hurts
I wrote that book
I climbed that wall I had one look
But you just came around
To say hello

The streets were filled
With guilty hearts
And here was I right from the start
And I lost everything
When I lost you

So tell me why
Should I let you go
Give me 20 good reasons
I need to know, yeah

And at that point
There was no pain
There was no sky
There was no rain
For all there was was you
And your sweet face

But life is life
And things will change
Like scenes upon an actor's stage
Tomorrow comes today
For all we know

So tell me baby why
Should I let you go
Give me 20 good reasons
I need to know, yeah
Give me 20 good reasons
Give me 20 good reasons
Give me 20 good reasons
To let you go

So tell me baby why-y-y-y
Should I let you go
Give me 20 good reasons
I need to know, yeah
Tell me baby why-y-y-y
Should I let you go, yeah
Give me 20 good reasons
I need to know, yeah
Give me 20 good reasons
Give me 20 good reasons
Give me 20 good reasons

LeAnne Rimes- What I Cannot Change

O Holy Night by Celtic Woman.

[volleyballchick751]

firework by Katy Perry:
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that tehre's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow...

The middle, by jimmy eats world

[CrimsonTippedPetals]

"The Last Night"

You come to me with scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine
But I know it's a lie.

[Chorus:]
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be.
The last night you'll spend alone,
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go,
I'm everything you need me to be.

Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you they don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie.

[Chorus]

The last night away from me

[Bridge:]
The night is so long when everything's wrong
If you give me your hand I will help you hold on
Tonight,
Tonight.

[Chorus]

I won't let you say goodbye,
I'll be your reason why.

The last night away from me,
Away from me.
