    “

    Well I’ve been lost and I need direction /
    I could use a little love protection /
    What you say honey come to my defense /

    I stand up for you if it’s what you need /
    And I can take a punch, I don’t mind to bleed /
    As long as afterwards you feel bad for me /

    ”
    Griffin House, The Guy That Says Goodbye Is Out of His Mind

    “I walk around the block to avoid you /
    And that’s when I’m in a social mood /
    It’s just my head that hurts me right now /
    But I’m not bitter /
    I’m not bitter /
    Not at all /
    Just a lot /”
    Minus 5, I’m Not Bitter

    “

    so throw me a rope, to hold me in place /
    show me a clock, for counting my days, down /
    ‘cause everythings easier when you’re beside me /
    come back and find me /
    ‘cause i feel alone /

    and whenever you go it’s like holding my breath under water /
    i have to admit that i kinda like it when i do /
    oh but i got to be, unconditionally /
    unafraid, of my days, without you /

    ”
    KT Tunstall, Throw Me A Rope

    “I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health. I said, ‘There’s nothing that I can do for you that you can’t do for yourself.’ He said, ‘Oh yes you can. Just hold my hand. I think that that would help.’ So I sat with him a while then I asked him how he felt. He said, ‘I think I’m cured.’”

    “But you move me /
    You give me courage I didn’t /
    know I had /
    You move me on /
    I can’t go with you /
    And stay where I am /
    So you move me on /”
    Garth Brooks, You Move Me

    “Now I don’t know why I forgive the things you do to me /
    I don’t know why I don’t have the guts to set you free /
    If I had one last wish I know what that would be /
    Well, I’d wish I weren’t your prisoner and that I could be released /”
    Reckless Kelly, Back Around

    “I’m starting with the man in the mirror /
    I’m asking him to change his ways /
    And no message could have been any clearer /
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    Take a look at yourself and then make a change /”
    Michael Jackson, Man in the Mirror
