"rescue me" by planet shakers

when im alone
the world is such a different place
sometimes its hard to keep
the smile up on my face
it seems like i try so hard
but still i let you down
its taken so long but now there's
one thing that i've found

when everything starts crashing down
and all i know falls to the ground
when darkness comes and i cant see
you're always there to recsue me

just when i think
that i've got it figured out
you open my eyes and let me see
that there's no doubt
that you've got it all
within the power of your hand
it seems like the more i know
the less i understand

when everything starts crashing down
and all i know falls to the ground
when darkness comes and i cant see
you're always there to recsue me
when all my strenght has turned to fear
when i wonder if you're near
when i dont know how to break free
you're always there to rescue me

i wonder if i'll make it through this darkest night
i need to know your strength in me
gonna win this fight
im reaching out
wont you take my hand
show me to the light
i know you're by my side

-i love you, and i always will... im sorry...-

life sux. totally. everything's going wrong all of a sudden again... im sorry for everything i've done... sorry.

"perfect' by simple plan

Hey dad look at me.
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time...
Doing things I wanna do
But it hurts when you disapprove all along.

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you
But you don't understand

-dont go away from me. please. i dont know what im gonna do without you. sorry.-
