Can't remember who sings it but the song is "painted on my heart". I think its by the cult. Love it. Look it up.

[Enigma]

Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world.......

[udita banerjee]

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

[Misaela]

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

I could hear her saying it!

[CatGitane]

''The way things are'' wins it for me . It's the title of my most personal song ever.

[LeeMa]

"Some kind of solitude is
Measured out in you
You think you know me, but you haven't got a clue"

From Hey Bulldog

[Fran]

"I rather live in his world than live without him in mine"
..... Midnight train to Georgia

[omdtitanic]

"Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again."
This has always intrigued me I find myself writing it in notebooks all the time.

[Bighuey]

Faded and worn, ragged and torn
Just a bundle of old love letters
I kiss each one and though Im pretending
Its a beautiful play with an unhappy ending

Weary and blue, I read them through
There all I have now of you
Teardrops of mine, between every line
Just a bundle of love letters.

A Bundle of Old Love Letters by Frank Luther and the High Hatters. Maybe a little sappy, but still nice.

[Sine_Ni_Ceallach]

Oooh, good question! One of my favourites is in the song Morning Bound Train by Jimmy Rankin, which is a song about insomnia. It goes like:

"I can't sleep at night, climbing the walls to the beat of the rain."

[whybark]

Hope your heaven sent and hell proof

Lil Wayne

[Bighuey]

I heard one the other day that was a little different. Was That The Human Thing to Do by Rudy Vallee. It came out around 1930, its about a guy who was dumped by his girl and he really had some biting comments about her. I think the girl would have crawled out under the door.

I showed my heart to the doctor: he said I just have to quit.
Then he wrote himself a prescription,
and your name was mentioned in it!

Can anyone guess who wrote that?

(Hint: songwriter/poet who is known for a smooth, darkly evocative style[no Googling! for answer]).

My favorite line is from "Waiting for the End" by Linkin Park. "Picking up the pieces. Now where to begin? The hardest part of ending is starting again."

[Noxeelove]

When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing heals a broken heart like Time Love and Tenderness
Youll think your world is over, baby just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart like Time Love and Tenderness
:Michael Bolton

There's a lot that come to mind. but this is at the top of my ultimate lyrics and songs because somehow I always end up broken hearted and in need of a reminder to take it a day at a time.
