Mysterious

vs.1 I thought I was yours,
I had plans for the next few years.
I thought you were mine,
But now I'm full of tears.
P1 And even though you say you're sorry,
And even though you want me back,
I hate to break it to you, honey,
It doesn't work like that.
(chorus)
You are too mysterious,
Creeping around the way you do.
You're much too suspicious,
And said it was me not following through.
Causing a lot of mischief, you made it obvious,
And, baby, I'm completely over you.
vs.2 You thought you got me,
But clearly, you didn't hold on.
You thought I was wrapped around,
But now all's been said and done.
P2 And even though you apologized,

You're Stealin

vs.1 You called me up the other day
And asked if you could get your stuff back.
I tell you I don't want it, so
Come get all of your trash.
When you showed up at my front door,
I tried hard not to care.
It didn't help that you looked better than before,
And it's not the least bit fair, that
(chorus)
You're stealin' my heart out of me,
You're stealin' the love out of me,
You're stealin' everything from me you want.
Tell me, why are you stealin' these,
Why are you stealin' these things,
When you already have somethin' to hold?
vs.2 Before you left, I walked outside,
And wandered to the back of the house.
I was thinkin' 'bout the past, so
My heart was screamin' loud.
I went back inside, ad it seemed like

Before the Storm - Jonas Brothers, with Miley Cyrus

vs.1 No, this isn't what I wanted,
Never thought it'd come this far.
Thinkin' back to where we started,
And how we lost all that we are.
We were young and times were easy,
But I could see it's not the same.
Standing here, but you don't see me,
Give it all for that to change.
I don't want to lose her,
Don't want to let her go.
(chorus)
Standing out in the rain,
Need to know if it's over,
Cause I would leave you alone.
I'm flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that I'll never hold her,
Like I did before the storm.

vs.2 With every strike of lightning,
Comes a memory that lasts.

I'm On My Way

Vs.1 He fooled me once, he fooled me twice,
But I'm not fallin' for his lies.
He played his games too many times,
Tried to hide 'em in disguise.
{Well, I'm done listenin' to the crap he has to say,
What he doesn't know is that I'm on my way! }
(Chorus)
I'm on my way, past movin' on,
Over him and so far gone.
He never broke my heart in two,
Did not make me cry myself blue.
He doesn't realize I'm not gonna stay,
'Cause, honey, I'm on my way.
Vs.2 He won't ever truly forget
That this decision he did regret.
But I didn't get upset,
I'm not even angry yet.
{He should know that my revenge is comin',
But I'm not gonna worry 'bout it, I am done! 'Cause}
(chorus)

Wide Open - Sugarland

Oh ay oh ay oh
Oh ay oh ay oh
Oh ay oh ay oh
Oh ay oh ay oh

vs.1 I've been waiting my whole life betting on a change,
See it coming getting better, getting better now.
Feel the shake shake steady of a soul to the flame.

Come in closer, oh come feel the love on the inside,
Electric current in my veins
Lets me know I'm alive,
I burn, I breathe, I blink, I change.

(chorus)

Wide wide wide wide open,
And its a fine fine fine fine world,
And this is my my life I'm hoping,
Will be a fine fine fine fine world.

Back When - Tim McGraw

Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper,
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two, and four.
A fried bologna (boloney) sandwich,
With mayo and tomato,
Sittin' 'round the table
Don't happen much anymore.
We got too complicated,
It's all way overrated,
I like the old-and-out-dated,
Way of life
(chorus)
Back when a hoe was a hoe,
A coke was a coke,
And crack's what you were doin'
When you were crackin' jokes.
Back when a screw was a screw.,
The wind was all that blew,
And when you said, 'I'm down with that, '

Broken Heart

vs.1 Every night, in every dream,
You're all I seem to think about.
Every time, from day to day,
I'd say, 'I love you, ' with no doubt.
You promised me forever,
But this time, you weren't true.
If it wasn't for that,
Then I wouldn't blame you, but now
(chorus)
I've got a broken heart,
It wasn't 'sposed to be this way.
I still think about those times,
And how I was with you every day.
I really wish that we weren't split apart,
'Cause now i have a broken heart.
vs.2 I knew that this would happen,
It always does, no matter what I do.
I ought to know this because
I've had a lot to go through.
Even though we're on a quest,

When Love Gets a Hold of You - Reba McEntire

vs.1 It's all around you now, but you don't know it.
It's tugging at your heart, but you don't show it.
It's just a matter of time,
It's gonna hit you right between the eyes.
(chorus)
You'll wake up in the middle of the night,
I'll be the only thing on your mind,
Won't be able to shake it loose,
When love gets a hold of you.
Before you have your first cup of coffee,
You're gonna pick up the phone and call me,
Won't believe what you say and do,
When love gets a hold of you.
vs.2 'Cause it's gonna be written all over your face,
All your friends gonna tell you how much you've changed.
Feeling things that you can't deny,
Going crazy and you don't know why.
(chorus)
Bridge: It gets a hold of you,
It's just a matter of time,

Days of Elijah - Paul Wilbur

These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord,
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword.
Still we are the voice in the desert, crying,
'Prepare ye the Way of the Lord! '
(Chorus)
Behold He comes,
Riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun,
At the trumpet call.
Lift your voice,
It's the year of Jubilee,
And out of Zion's hill,
Salvation comes.

And these are the days Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh,

Stronger - Kelly Clarkson

vs.1 You know the bed feels warmer,
Sleeping here alone.
You know I dream in color,
And do the things I want.

You think you got the best of me,
Think you've had the last laugh.
Bet you think that everything good is gone,
Think you left me broken down.
Think that I'd come running back,
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong.

(chorus)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller,
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter,
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone.
