Leona Lewis - One More Sleep



Snow is falling all around us
My baby's coming home for Christmas
I've been up all night inside my bedroom
He said that he'll be with me real soon

So I wait
And I wait
But I've had as much as I can take

Chorus:
'Cause I've got 5 more nights of sleeping on my own
4 more days until you're coming home
3 more dreams of you and mistletoe
2 more reasons why I love you so

I've got 5 more nights until you're next to me
4 more days of being lonely
3 more wishes I can barely breathe
If I can make it to Christmas Eve then it's

One more sleep (One more sleep until it's Christmas)
One more sleep (Can't believe how much I missed us)
One more sleep (One more sleep until it's Christmas)
One more sleep

Now I don't think I can remember
A cold and lonelier December
And I find myself sitting at the window
Wondering when you're gonna get back home

So I try
And I try
But there is nothing I can do to pass this time

[Chorus]

Until we're rocking around the Christmas tree
Until I got you sitting next to me
We got a lot of catching up to do
I just can't take this missing you

5 more nights on my own
4 more days
3 more dreams
Mistletoe
I can't believe I ever let you go

5 more nights of sleeping on my own
4 more days until you're coming home
3 more wishes I can barely breathe
If I can make it to Christmas Eve then it's one more sleep

It'll be one more
It'll be one more (One more sleep)
It'll be one more (One more sleep)
One more sleep

Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You



How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash up on the sand

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me too
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you can

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you

** I liked one of her song, "Anything Could Happen" first before I listened to this and I quickly fell in love with this song :)
She has a unique voice and this song is really soothing :)

Collin Raye - In This Life



For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
With one honest touch you set me free

Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me
Love's not worth goin' through

If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered
Had come true
In this life I was loved by you


For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure
That I longed to find
Without your love I would be lost

In this life I was loved by you

Bruno Mars - When I was Your Man



Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

Chorus:
It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

[Chorus]

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man


*I actually love this song sung by Kai --- he is soooooo adorable!!!


And there's another cover by Lunafly :)

Kelly Clarkson - People Like Us



Intro:
We come into this world unknown
But know that we are not alone
They try and knock us down
But change is coming, it's our time now


Hey… everybody loses it,
Everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes
And hey… yeah I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you, you'll make it out alive
Ohh


Chorus:
People like us we've gotta stick together
Keep your head up, nothing lasts forever

Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom

We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us



Hey, this is not a funeral
It's a revolution, after all your tears have turned to rage
Just wait, everything will be okay
Even when you're feeling like it's going down in flames


[Chorus]

They can't do nothing to you, they can't do nothing to me
This is the life that we choose, this is the life that we bleed
So throw your fists in the air, come out, come out if you dare
Tonight we're gonna change forever

Everybody loses it, everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes


[Chorus]

You've just got to turn it up loud when the flames get higher
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us

We're all misfits living in a world on fire
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us

You've just got to turn it up loud when the flames get higher
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us

Terry - Butiran Debu


Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa untuk selamanya
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa sepanjang usia

Bridge:
Hingga tiba saatnya aku pun melihat
Cintaku yang khianat, cintaku berkhianat

Chorus:
Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu


**Repeat from the start to bridge


Menepi menepilah menjauh
Semua yang terjadi di antara kita ooh


**Chorus til the end

*Originally sung by "Rumor"

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Shine



I could live in a different place
With a different house and a different name
I could sing you your favourite song
Yeah, you'd sing along, you'd sing along

I could wrap you in your favourite clothes
And kiss your face just so you know
That I'm the one who has got your back
Now turn around and don't be sad

Chorus:
I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more


I could fly you away with me
To the furthest place you'll ever be
We could smoke 'til the sun goes down
And without a sound, without a sound

We'd fall asleep by the big blue sea
With open eyes so we could see
The way it shines for you and I
You know it'll shine until we fly

[Chorus]

I could wait with you by the water
I could wait with you for the winter to come
I could stand with you with your snow boots on

[Chorus]

I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more

Corrinne May - Just What I Was Looking For



I’ve been beaten down,
I’ve been left for dead
Had my heart trampled
My soul bled
I have sworn I’d never do it again for Love

I believe romance is innocence
I believe in the power of abstinence
I’m afraid I just don’t have the strength for Love

Chorus:
Give me a sign
This is where I’m meant to be

This is where I belong
Could it be time
To seize the opportunity
Could it be
You were just what I was looking for


Am I mistaken or is that a gleam in your eye
The mystique of wondering what we’ll find
When we risk it all just to collide for Love

You were looking ahead
I was looking back
Didn’t know we were both on that one-way track
Oh the sigh of relief to run to the arms of Love

[Chorus]

I can’t believe I’ve waited so long
To say I love you in the words of a love song
No matter where this road will lead us
Hold my hand, till the end
It’s you that I adore

Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

You were just what I was looking for

FT Island - You Are My Life



The overflowing feeling when I happened to meet you
That I can’t quite convey to you, Listen to my heart

Your shining eyes ever looking toward the future
Will be the light illuminating the road
To be together with you, going on forevermore

In this world (I have found), there is only you
You are the only one I want (I want you) you are my life

“Irreplaceable”, the meaning of that word
(For the first time I understand)
It was you who taught it to me, I love your smile

So that I’ll be able to answer (more than anything else)
My love is strong enough to never lose

Be together with me (right now)
Is this what they call fate?

Whenever (for all time) I’ll continue to protect
Everything you are (with these hands)
So right here (I’ll make this oath) You are my life

I want to see the seasons change
together with you

Everything that you are, is all that I am.
Without you, I wouldn’t be able to live

I won’t let you go (Don’t let me go) in truth
It’s you (forever)
So our hearts (can become one)

You are my life
You are my life

P!nk - Please Don't Leave Me



I don't know if I can yell any louder,
How many times have I kicked you out of here?
Or said something insulting?

I can be so mean when I wanna be,
I am capable of really anything,
I can cut you into pieces,
When my heart is, broken.

Chorus:
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious,
What is it with you that makes me act like this,
I've never been this nasty

Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest,
But baby I don't mean it,
I mean it, I promise

[Chorus]

I forgot to say out loud,
How beautiful you really are to me,
I can't be without,
You're my perfect little punching bag,
And I need you,
I'm sorry.

Please, please don't leave me
Baby, please don't leave me (no, don't leave me)
Please don't leave me
(I always say) I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this

[Chorus]

Baby, please, please don't leave me.

Daughtry - Rescue Me



Our story's old,
Older than the wind,
It's been this sad for years,
How can we pretend,
When we all know just how it's gonna end.

Rescue me,
In the middle of the ocean,
Crashing down, it's always hard to breathe,
Some say its easier to give up on it,
I say it's time to rescue me.

Lost and lonely people staring back,
Afraid to try,
Some of them here, the same as you and I,
The differences are all but left behind,

So I need you now

Rescue me,
In the middle of the ocean,
Crashing down, it's always hard to breathe,
Some say its hard to make the changes,
Rescue me and I'll never be the same,

Rescue me,
In the middle of my darkest hour,
Time will tell,
I never really had the power,
Some say it's easier to give up on it,
I say its time to rescue me.

We gotta get out,
How foolish have we been
To say it's all been a waste of time?
We may lose, and we may win,
But like the sun we will rise again.

Rescue me,
In the middle of the ocean,
Crashing down, it's always hard to breathe,
Some say its hard to make the changes,
Rescue me and I'll never be the same,

Rescue me,
In the middle of my darkest hour,
Time will tell,
I never really had the power,
Some say it's easier to give up on it,
I say its time to rescue me.

Rescue me,
In the middle of the ocean.

Soul Asylum - Runaway Train



Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really lead myself astray

Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile

How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mysteries seem so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night
Earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train, never goin' back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train, never comin' back
Runaway train, tearin' up the track
Runaway train, burnin' in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same

P!nk ft. Nate Ruess - Just Give Me A Reason



Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim

I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you’ve been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you’ve had enough
Of our love, our love

Chorus:
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It’s in the stars
It’s been written in the scars on our hearts
We’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again


I’m sorry I don’t understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)

Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin’
And it’s all in your mind
(Yeah but this is happenin’)

You’ve been havin’ real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
There’s nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love

Chorus [2]:
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You’re still written in the scars on my heart
You’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again


Oh tear ducts and rust
I’ll fix it for us
We’re collecting dust
But our love’s enough
You’re holding it in
You’re pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We’ll come clean

[Chorus] 2x

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again

Oh oh, that we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

*I love this song! I love how their voices go very well with each other :) :) :)

Fun. - Out On The Town



I set all my regrets on fire
Cause I know I'll never take the time
To unpack my missteps and call all of our friends
I figure they would take your side

I make the bed, just not that well
Your name comes up a lot
When I talk to my mom
Oh, I think she can tell

Chorus:
I was out on the town
So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside

Now I'm causing a scene,
thinking you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done?
There's no one to keep me warm


So maybe I should put up a fight
I'll call them back and borrow a box knife
So I can learn to live with all the stupid shit
I've been doing since '99

And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more strong
But I'm waiting for the day you come back and say
"Hey, maybe I should change my mind"


I drink a lot
I'm not sure if that's new
But these days when I wake up from a night I forgot
I just wish that it never came true

[Chorus]

And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more strong
And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more clever

I knew there would come a day when all was said and done
(And I know I could be more clever)
Everything I was is everything but gone
(And I know I could be more strong)
All my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall
(And I know I could be more clever)
The bottles never break, the sorrow never comes
(And I know I could be more clever)
So come on let me in, I will be the sun
(And I know I could be more clever)
I will wake you up, I am who I was
(And I know I could be more strong)
Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart
(And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more)

[Chorus]

Simple Plan feat Natasha Bedingfield - Jet Lag



What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
Back at home you feel so far
Waitin' for the phone to ring

It's gettin’ lonely livin’ upside down
I don't even wanna be in this town
Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy

Chorus:
You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad
I miss you so bad

And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged


What time is it where you are?
Five more days and I'll be home
I keep your picture in my car
I hate the thought of you alone

I've been keepin' busy all the time
Just to try to keep you off my mind
Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin’ me crazy

[Chorus]
Is so jet lagged

I miss you so bad [x5]

I wanna share your horizon
I miss you so bad
And see the same sunrising
I miss you so bad
Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me.

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss when you say good morning

But it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad
I miss you so bad

And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Is so jetlagged
Is so jetlagged

FUN - Some Nights



Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know anymore...


Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style

That's alright;
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.

And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)

So this is it. I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?

(Come on)

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on.
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lies... ah...

The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...

Alyssa Reid ft P Reign - Alone Again


Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

I sit back and reminisce
It hurts to think about it all
We was on top of the world
Whoever though that we would fall?

Standing by the phone
Alone, ignoring your call
I feel like spider man
You got me flying off of the wall

I ain't wanna leave
But still I had to go
Cause what good a rainbow
Without my pot of gold?

And now your beds empty
And your pillow's cold
You never realized the love
Until my love was gone
Yeah

Bridge:
When I said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that

Chorus:
Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

The phone call
Can you stop the free fall?
Can you be the reason
I can see beyond the lies
If I keep holding on?

I hear you
(Hear you)
Can you stop the screaming?
(Screaming)
Did you stop believing?
I could feel you letting go
I can't be alone tonight

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Woah, I hope that it won't end though
Alone...

And I'm hoping that you know that

[Chorus]


Ps: She has (probably) 3 different versions of this song.
Same tune, different lyric. Very nice improvisation :)

The Wanted - Dagger



Stay, won't beg you to stay
Go, yeah, I'll be ok
Won't kill me this way
Oh, Oh
At least that's what i'll say

No, you don't have to know
The wounds that hurt me the most
Cos I'll never show
Just how deep they go

Chorus:
That's why I'm telling you
Everytime you have to go
I don't think you even know
It's like a dagger in my heart
Everytime you have to leave
Can't believe it cuts so deep

It's like a dagger in my heart
Dagger Dagger [x3]
It's like a dagger in my heart
Dagger Dagger [x3]
It's like a dagger in my heart


Strong, I thought I was strong
These scars will heal before long
I guess I was wrong
Oh, Oh
And I'm too far gone

Try, I know I should try
To just get on with my life
But it's slipping away tonight
There's some loves you can't survive

[Chorus]

The last words I would say
Is there ain't anyone else
Can take this pain away

[Chorus]

Everytime you have to go
I don't think you even know
It's like a dagger in my heart
Everytime you have to leave
Can't believe it cuts so deep
It's like a dagger in my heart

*Cakeeeppnyaaaa!!!*
