Forgiveness does not always mean rebuilding the relationship. 🙏🏻 Sometimes spiritual maturity means releasing bitterness while still keeping healthy boundaries.
In this video, we explore how spiritually mature Christians forgive people who hurt them without automatically giving them the same access to their lives again. You’ll learn the biblical difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, trust, and restoration—and why protecting your peace does not mean you have failed to forgive. ✝️🤍
God may call you to forgive, but reconciliation requires more than one willing heart. Trust can be rebuilt only when there is genuine repentance, change, honesty, and consistency.
If you have ever wondered, “If I forgive them, do I have to let them back into my life?” this message is for you. 🌿
May this video help you release resentment, walk in wisdom, protect healthy boundaries, and move forward with peace.

Vancouver Sleep Clinic - tired eyes
tired eyes
as you're driving home
the world spins by
in monochrome
you're doing overtime
in the undertow
of a restless mind
feeling so alone
there's a world out there you've never known
there's a love that you were never shown
and in the moment you can barely cope
but you dare to hope
fading through
in your weary heart
oh, the mountains moved
to only get so far
but there's a world out thеre you've nevеr known
there's a love that you were never shown
and in the moment you can barely cope
but you dare to hope
into the darkness
into the blue
into the future
you dare to move
longing to flourish
yearning to bloom
give me the courage
to follow you
cause there's a world out there you've never known
there's a love that you were never shown
and in the moment you can barely cope
but you dare to hope
Katie Melua - I Will Be There (Full Concert Version)
She is like the lady down the road
Or just the woman up the street
Like any mother you may know
To me, she is the one who had it planned
To lead us all to Wonderland
She always wanted us to go
And she said
Don't ever be lonely
Remember, I'll always care
Wherever you may be
Remember I will be there
And like another lady that we know
She has a smile so bright and sweet
And hair as white as driven snow
Though life is never easy day to day
She has a very special way
To make us smile when we are low
And she says
Don't ever be lonely
Remember, I'll always care
Wherever you may be
Remember I will be there
Don't ever be lonely
Remember, I will be there
I will be there
I will be there

Far Corporation - Stairway to Heaven (cover) (Rockpop Music Hall 02.11.1985) (VOD)
Far Corporation - Stairway to Heaven
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed, now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Oh, whoa
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
X Ambassadors - Follow the Sound of My Voice
X Ambassadors - Follow the Sound of My Voice
Follow the sound of my voice
I’m right here, I’m right here
Follow the sound of my voice
Dry your tears
I’m right here, I’m right here
There’s a red kite in a dead tree in the park
Like something straight out a French new-wave movie
There’s a mother with her toddler in her arms
Wondering how she’s gonna raise that baby
The doctors spelled out all their medical jargon
Aggressive retinal degeneration
She stares at that kite while their words ring in her head:
“I’m sorry ma’am, your son will never see again”
She points a finger at that kite stuck in that tree
She says baby come on baby can’t you see
See how high it is, how bright it is
How it shines against the sky
Can you see it if you try
But he says “I can’t see it”
“Darling,” she says
“Follow the sound of my voice
I’m right here, I’m right here
Follow the sound of my voice
Dry your tears
I’m right here, I’m right here”
Now there’s an acne-covered teenage terror
Upstate New York’s blind piano prodigy
All the kids call him the next Ray Charles
And he plays in a band with his little brother
His brother guides him by the shoulder through these
Loud and crowded venues trying to
Steer that drunken ship through the night
And it hurts a little more each time he watches his big brother try
To find his own way
Up on that stage
He says “I can help you,
Let me help you–
Follow the sound of my voice
I’m right here, I’m right here
Follow the sound of my voice
Dry your tears
I’m right here, I’m right here”
When I feel like I am stumbling in the dark
When I get lost inside this great big world
When I feel like I’m invisible, like nobody cares
You’re always there
Saying “I can see you,
I can see you–
Follow the sound of my voice
I’m right here, I’m right here
Follow the sound of my voice
Dry your tears
I’m right here, I’m right here”
Right here
THE STRUMBELLAS - "We Don't Know" (Live in Austin, TX 2016)
The Strumbellas - We Don't Know
Well I know it gets harder every single day
And I know my darkness will never go away
It's hard when you're living and you don't feel much
And you're down and you're hoping that things are gonna change
Oh, we don't know the roads that we're heading down
But we all know if we're lost, then we'll find a way
We don't know if we leave, will we make it home
But we all know, if there's hope, then we'll be okay
And some say it gets brighter
We just have to wait
Mother, mother, I can feel your heart break
Burning through me every single day
It's hard when you're living and you don't feel much
And you're down and you're hurting 'cause you don't feel loved
It's hard when you're living and you don't feel much
And you're down and you're hoping that things are gonna change
Oh, we don't know the roads that we're heading down
But we all know if we're lost, then we'll find a way
We don't know if we leave, will we make it home
But we all know, there's hope and we'll be okay
Oh, we don't know the roads that we're heading down
But we all know if we're lost, then we'll find a way
We don't know if we leave, will we make it home
But we all know, if there's hope, then we'll be okay
Oh, there's something in my mind that's killing me
There's something that this life's not giving me
Would you say
There's something in my mind that's killing me
There's something that this life's not giving me
Would you say
Oh, we don't know the roads that we're heading down
But we all know if we're lost, then we'll find a way
We don't know if we leave, will we make it home
But we all know, if there's hope, then we'll be okay
Oh, we don't know the roads that we're heading down
But we all know know if we're lost, then we'll find a way
We don't know if we leave, will we make it home
But we all know, if there's hope, then we'll be okay

Echosmith - Goodbye
Try not to let the burn become a scar
What's left of me is only broken parts
You take the pretty and color it dark
My only grievance is a broken heart
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
You're riding paper airplanes
Can't see the string
You cover up the poison, with poetry
You traded roses and left me sorry
My only grievance is a broken dream
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
Oh-oh-oh
Tell him I said, tell him I said, oh-oh-oh
Tell him I said, tell him I said, oh-oh-oh
Tell him I said, tell him I said, oh-oh-oh
Tell him I said, tell him I said
When you finally find yourself (find yourself)
Tell him I said, tell him I said
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
Dropkick Murphys - Going out in Style (Live in Sydney - Moshcam)
Dropkick Murphys - Going out in Style
I've seen a lot of sights, and traveled many miles
Shook a thousand hands and seen my share of smiles
I've caused some great concern and told one too many lies
And now I see the world through these sad, old, jaded eyes
So what if I threw a party and all my friends were there?
Acquaintances, relatives, the girls who never cared
You'll have a host of rowdy hooligans in a big line out the door
Side by side with Sister Barbara, Chief Wells, and Bobby 'Orr
I'd invite the Flannigans
Replace the window you smashed out
I'd apologize the Sluggo for pissing on his couch
I'll see mrs. McAuliffe and so many others soon
Then I'll say I'm sorry for what I did sleepwalking in her room
So what if I threw a party and invited Mayor Menino?
He'd tell you to get a permit
Well this time Tom I don't think so
It's a neighborhood reunion
But now we'd get along
Van Morrison would be there and he'd sing me one last song
With a backup band of bass players to keep us up all night
Three handsome four string troubadours and Newton's old Fat Mike
I'll be in the can having a smoke with Garv and Johnny Fitz
But there's a backup in the bathroom 'cause the badger's got the shits
You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
You can take my urn to Fenway, spread my ashes all about
Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach and dump the sucker out
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
Make me up, dress me up, feed me a big old shot
Of embalming fluid highballs so I don't start to rot
Now take me to McGreevy's, I wanna buy one final round
What cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket
Then hurry up and suck 'em down
If there's a god the girls you loved will all come walking through the door
Maybe they'll feel bad for me and this stiff will finally score
You've got the bed already
And nerve and courage too
Cause I've been slugging from a stash of desi queally's 1980s bathtub brew
You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
You can take my urn to Fenway, spread my ashes all about
Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach and dump the sucker out
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
You can take my urn to Fenway, spread my ashes all about
Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach and dump the sucker out
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
You can take my urn to Fenway, spread my ashes all about
Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach and dump the sucker out
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style
Spread all my ashes about
Dump the sucker out
Toast me for a while
I'm going out in style
Jude
1 JUDE, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father,
and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you,
and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men,
turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out
of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains
under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication,
and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring
against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those
things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and
perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds
they are without water, carried about of winds; trees, whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked
up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness
of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten
thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they
have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words,
having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory
with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Jude - KJV
Shinedown - The Crow & the Butterfly
Shinedown - The Crow & the Butterfly
[Verse 1]
I painted your room at midnight
So I'd know yesterday was over
I put all your books on the top shelf
Even the one with the four-leaf clover
Man, I'm gettin' older
[Verse 2]
I took all your pictures off the wall
And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
And now I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
[Verse 3]
Your words still serenade me
Your lullabies won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting melody
Oh, it's killin' me
You know I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
[Chorus]
Like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
[Outro]
Just a little too late

blink - 182 "Happy Days" (official video) #stayhome
Hey, kid, don't quit your daydream yet
I know you feel locked out in the cold
Seems like you’re lost and alone
Hey, kid, don't listen to your head
It only fills you with dread and with doubt
Left looking for an easy way out
I know you don't know
Oh, no, you don’t know
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
Walls of isolation inside of my pain
And I don't know if I'm ready to change
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
All of this frustration inside of my brain
And I don't know if I'm ready to change
Some nights you call for the jaws of life
To pull you out of the crash
A forgotten ghost from your past
When enough doesn't cut it
When you're backed up against a wall
Is it the life that you wanted
When you could never have it all
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
Walls of isolation inside of my pain
And I don't know if I’m ready to change
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
All of this frustration inside of my brain
And I don’t know if I'm ready to change
Face down in the deep end
Face down every weekend
Face down and I’m bleeding
There's no sound when you're leaving
We faced all of our demons
We chased all of our dreams and
Don't know where it leads us
We don’t care at all
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days
Walls of isolation inside of my pain
And I don't know if I'm ready to change
I wanna feel happy days, happy days
(Face down in the deep end)
Happy days, happy days
(Face down every weekend)
All of this frustration inside of my brain
And I don't know if I'm ready to change
I wanna feel happy days
blink - 182 -- ONE MORE TIME (Live at Lollapalooza 2024)
blink- 182 --- ONE MORE TIME
Strangers, from strangers into brothers
From brothers into strangers once again
We saw the whole world but I couldn’t see the meaning
I couldn’t even recognize my friends
Older, but nothing’s any different
Right now feels the same I wonder why
I wish they told us, it shouldn’t take a sickness
Or airplanes falling out the sky
Do I have to die to hear you miss me
Do I have to die to hear you say goodbye
I don’t want to act like there’s tomorrow
I don’t want to wait to do this one more time
One more time, one more, one more time, one more time
I miss you, took time but I admit it
It still hurts even after all these years
And I know that next time, ain’t always gonna happen
I gotta say I love you while we’re here
Do I have to die to hear you miss me
Do I have to die to hear you say goodbye
I don’t want to act like there’s tomorrow
I don’t want to wait to do this one more time
One more time, one more, one more time, one more time
One more time (one more time), one more, one more time (one more time), one more time
I miss you
Jake Bugg - Never Can Tell
It might be fake
It might be the truth
Who do you believe, I haven't got a clue
Is heaven gonna save me
Or am I going straight to hell
Anyway you look at it you never can tell
Show me the money
What's it all for
I've got a champagne bottle spinning like a throttle and a six pack on the floor
Is this 5 star living
Or sitting in a cheap hotel
Anyway you look at it you never can tell
Whyyy
I never can work it out
Everything's inside out
It's all been up and down
Find me a lawyer
Find me a friend
Are they in it for the money
I guess I'll find out in the end
I think I need something
Don't know what it is
Something I've forgotten
Does it even exist
Is it a good time to buy
Is it a good time to sell
Anyway you look at it you never can tell
Have I been taken for a ride
On a carousel
Anyway you look at it you never can tell
Whyyy
I never can work it out
Everything's inside out
It's all been up and down
Rise Against - Living Undercover
Rise Against - Living Undercover
I see lights in the distance, I see trouble ahead
She's a man on a mission, messages burning after they're read
Waking up on the wrong side of every bed
Operating on no sleep, painting every town red
I've been waiting here all this time to take what's mine
Living undercover
I've been hiding in plain site as the world passed by
One after the other
Cause I can play the longest games another day here undiscovered
But I can't make out your voice, so all lost inside the noise
Static on the television nothing comes in
Except the voices cut by channel switching lost in the wind
There's a broken antennae we keep moving around
While we're searching for a signal digging for a sound
But it’s not alright yeah will it ever be?
We let the genie out the bottle now nobody's free
Walk through the flames
Smile through the tears
We came out this way just to say
Let's get the f--- out of here
I've been waiting all this time to take what's mine
Living undercover
I've been hiding in real plain sight as the world past by
One after the other
Cause I can play the longest games another day here undiscovered
But I can't make out your voice, so all lost inside the noise
The fault lines lay in between our own lives they will uncover
In past lives and fever dreams, we're crashing always into each other
(Now it's time to go)
I've been waiting all this time to take what's mine living undercover
I've been hiding in plain sight while the world passed by one after the other
Cause I can play the longest games another day here undiscovered
But I can't make out your voice, so all lost inside the noise
Fall Out Boy - The Phoenix (VEVO Presents Live in London)
[Intro]
Put on your war paint
[Verse 1]
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
Here, here comes this rising tide so come on
(Put on your war paint)
Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to die
Silver clouds with grey linings
[Pre-Chorus]
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
[Chorus]
Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel
Like our time is running out?
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
[Verse 2]
Bring home the boys in scraps, scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass
[Pre-Chorus]
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
[Chorus]
Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel
Like our time is running out?
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
[Break]
Put on your war paint
[Bridge]
The war is won before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, yeah)
The war is won before it's begun
(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, yeah)
Release the doves, surrender love
(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, yeah)
[Chorus]
Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel
Like our time is running out?
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No I think it looked a little better on me
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel
Like our time is running out?
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Shinedown - Her Name is Alice -- December 29, 2018 at House Of Blues in Orlando, FL
[Intro (Spoken)]
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't
[Verse 1]
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themself to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
[Pre-Chorus 1]
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she knows...
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned
But now 'Off With Her Head', I fear, is everyone's concern
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she's unlocked the meaning for you
[Pre-Chorus 3]
This kingdom, good riddance
Her freedom and innocence
Has brought this whole thing down
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into to the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she's unlocked the meaning
[Bridge]
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
She's unlocked the meaning for you
[Outro (Spoken)]
And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be
And what it wouldn't be, it would, you see?
Badflower - Family
Taste bitter on the guilty tongue
It's hard to see I'm the chosen one
Fake friends with a camera phone
Ugly, drunk, cold, and missing home
This home of mine
I see it in my dreams
Where everyone looks happy
And everyone still likes me
This home of mine
I miss it all the time
What happened to this family?
What happened to this family?
(Have I let you down?)
Texts, calls, hugs, birthday cards
Being thoughtful can be so hard
First fifteen years I'm the favorite son
Last fifteen years I'm thе hated one
This heart of minе
Gets blacker all the time
Affection makes me nauseous
Believe me, I don't want this
I hurt my blood tonight
I made my sisters cry
I never say, I love you
Even though I want to
I'm just my father's son
My mother's kid
A shitty brother
I'm nobody's friend
This is all my fault
I only make you cry
I don't deserve this family
(You're better off without me)
'Cause I let you down
And I lost my f---ing mind
Then everything got messy
And everyone got angry
I cursed my blood tonight
It happens all the time
Is everyone against me?
Has everyone g--damned me?
What happened to this family?
What happened to this family?
What happened to this family?
What happened to this family?
Don't hate me
Don't hate me
Don't let me drown
I hate goodbyes
So cringey, I could die
We only say, I love you
'Cause that's what we're supposed to
And most families lie
But I meant it every time
Then treat you like you're worthless
I never said I'm perfect
Shinedown - The Pilot
[Verse 1]
Behind these eyes is a wall you can't break through
Staggered seams and greenish glue
Afraid the prisoner might escape
Afraid of sounds that he might make
I'm not hiding, it's just self-defense
I know it always don't make sense
So don't ask me why or where I went
It's just a place I go to avoid the present tense
[Verse 2]
I'm just glad I made it back
When the tide was low and the sun went black
Try to sleep, maybe find some peacе
Maybe God will even spеak to me
Like an old friend in a dream
New advice to fight the enemy
[Chorus]
Would that make me feel better
Or just miss you even more?
Waking up too early, try to remember what I'm looking for
A flash of white or an orange glow
On the dock, I swear I'm not alone
[Verse 3]
Takes a river of faith, I pray I've got
Every ounce and every drop
I swear I'm stronger than I've let on
But the light feels dimmer since you're gone
I'm screaming to myself in silence
Stop the pain, kill the violence
I wear the metal, a heart of violet
I've got the wheel, I am the pilot
[Chorus]
Today's a battle, but I'll win the war
The tide will turn, I'll even up the score
I see pictures clearer than I have before
Write down all the names of everyone I'm fighting for
[Post-Chorus]
I'm fighting for
[Chorus]
Today's a battle, but I'll win the war
The tide will turn, I'll even up the score
I see pictures clearer than I have before
Write down all the names of everyone I'm fighting for
[Outro]
I'm fighting for
Natalie Imbruglia - Beautiful Love
Natalie Imbruglia - Beautiful Love
[Verse 1]
I'm calling
You're here in another part of the atmosphere
I'm flying
You fall for it every time, then I disappear
[Verse 2]
Summer's gone and you don't come by
This pendulum swings way too high
I'd risk it all to never win
Then repeat it from the beginning
[Chorus]
It's so beautiful, beautiful
I swing so high, smash the sky
I'm seeing everything clear
I want you here beside me, dear
Beautiful, beautiful love
I didn't think you'd be enough
But out of the wreckagе, you climbed
Then you showed up just in timе
[Verse 3]
I'm flying
No fear in another part of the atmosphere
I've seen it now
And I won't let go 'cause all we are is all I know
[Chorus]
It's so beautiful, beautiful
I swing so high, smash the sky
I'm seeing everything clear
I want you here beside me, dear
Beautiful, beautiful love
I didn't think you'd be enough
But out of the wreckage, you climbed
Then you showed up just in time
[Bridge]
All the time I had this feeling
I would never let you go
All the time I had this feeling
I would never let you go
All the time I had this feeling
I would never let you go
(You're here in another part of the atmosphere)
All the time I had this feeling
I would never let you go
(You fall for it every time, then I disappear)
[Chorus]
It's so beautiful, beautiful
I swing so high, smash the sky
I'm seeing everything clear
I want you here beside me, dear
Beautiful, beautiful love
I didn't think you'd be enough
But out of the wreckage, you climbed
Then you showed up just in time
[Outro]
All the time I had this feeling
I would never let you go
All the time I had this feeling
I would never let you go

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Perfection
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Perfection
Round and round I flow
Where it stops, I’ll never know
It’s hard for me to let things go
Fine wine ages better than most songs
Is there still a fire?
Can we push this higher?
Are you getting tired?
Whatever won’t break can make us
Fire away love
Nothing lasts forever
I like stormy weather
I’ll put on a sweater
Harder than drugs
I don’t need protection
This is my confession
I don’t do perfection
Is it something I did, is it something I wrote?
Is it something I said, is it part of this note?
Now I’m starting to choke, and I need you again
So don’t pretend
Is there still a fire?
Can we push this higher?
Are you getting tired?
Whatever won’t break can make us
Fire away love
Nothing lasts forever
I like stormy weather
I’ll put on a sweater
Harder than drugs
I don’t need protection
This is my confession
I don’t do perfection
This is coming from my heart
This is straight out of my heart
This is ripped out of my heart
This is language of the heart
Fire away love
Nothing lasts forever
I like stormy weather
I’ll put on a sweater
Harder than drugs
I don’t need protection
This is my confession
I don’t do perfection
Fire away love
I can’t wait forever
I like stormy weather
I’ll throw on a sweater
Harder than drugs
You are my obsession
This is my confession
I don’t do perfection
The Rasmus - Sail Away
I’ll Sail Away
It’s time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
I’ll Fade Away
The night is calling my name
You will stay
I’ll sail away
Once Upon A Time
We had a lot to fight for
We had a dream, we had plan
Sparks in the air
We spread a lot of envy
Didn’t have to care
Once upon a time
Remember when I swore
My love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when I swore
We had it all
We had it all
Once Upon A time
We used to burn candles
We had a place to call a home
The dream that we lived
Was better than divine
Every day was like a gift
Once Upon A life
Remember when you swore
Your love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when you swore
We had it all
We’ll never fall
I’ll Sail Away
It’s time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
I’ll Fade Away
The twilight’s calling my name
You will stay
I’ll sail away
No reason to lie, no need to pretend
I’m grateful to die to live once again
I’m fearless to fly and reach for the end
And reach for the end

YUNGBLUD - War pt. ll
Everybody loves the way you are
But you don't let them look inside you, do you?
I wish I could have been a better scar, for you, for you
But I wanna be a fake
I wanna be a liar
I wanna be the one to you let you down
I cover up my face
I try to get inspired
But every time I do, you turn around
Up all night lying awake
Dream of you talking to God
Melancholic kind of confession
Conversation going around
Bumper cars and merry go rounds
But I don't think it's enough this time
And I'm not ready to kill
I'm not ready to die
But it’s beginning to poison through my mind
Here it comes in waves
Are you feeling inspired?
Are you having the best time of your life?
Every time I try to speak
Is another wasted breath without you
Just another drop of blood, I bleed
For you, for you, for you, for you
For you, for you, for you, for you
But I wanna be a fake
I wanna be a liar
I wanna be the one to let you down
I cover up my face
I try to get inspired
But every time I do, you turn around
And I'm not ready to kill
I'm not ready to die
And it’s beginning to poison through my mind
Here it comes in waves
Are you feeling inspired?
Are you having the best time of your life?
YUNGBLUD - War (live in Denver, Colorado August 2025)
[Verse 1]
Everybody loves the way you are
But you don't let them look inside you, do ya?
I wish I could have been a better scar
For you, for you
For every time I try to speak
Is another wasted breath without you
Just another drop of blood I bleed
For you, for you
[Chorus]
But I wanna be a fake
I wanna be a liar
I wanna be the one to let you down
I cover up my face
I try to get inspired
But every time I do, you turn around
I wanna be a fake
I thought we were the same
[Verse 2]
And did you see the beauty in the fall?
Oh, doеs it make you happy when I break down?
Wе start a revolution, then we stop again
Again
Again
[Chorus]
But I wanna be a fake
I wanna be a liar
I wanna be the one to let you down
I cover up my face
I try to get inspired
But every time I do, you turn around
[Post-Chorus]
I'm falling (Falling) now
And soon, I'll hit the ground
I'm calling (Calling) out
I'll always let you down
I wanna be a fake
I thought we were the same
[Outro]
Everybody loves the way you are
But you don't let them look inside you, do ya?
