All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words tonightBon Jovi - Thank You For Loving Me
It’s hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There’s no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words tonight
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky’s a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you’d make believe
That you believed my lies
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words tonight
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I wish I could touch you again,
I wish I could still call you friend,
I’d give anything.
Still you said forever, and ever,
Who knew?P!nk - Who Knew
You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you’d be around
Uh huh, that’s right
I took your words, and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh, that’s right
If someone said three years from now
You’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
‘Cause they’re all wrong
I know better
‘Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I’d give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
‘Fore they’re long gone
I guess I just didn’t know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
I’ll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won’t forget you my friend
What happened
If someone said three years from now
You’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
Cause they’re all wrong and
That last kiss, I’ll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling, who knew
My darling, I miss you
My darling, who knew
Who knew

But I wish I was dead.Lana Del Rey - Dark Paradise
All my friends tell me I should move on
I’m lying in the ocean, singing your song
Ahhh, that’s how you sang it
Loving you forever, can’t be wrong
Even though you’re not here, won’t move on
Ahhh, that’s how we played it
All my friends ask me why I stay strong
Tell ‘em when you find true love it lives on
Ahhh, that’s why I stay here
And there’s no remedy for memory
Your face is like a melody, it won’t leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling me
That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead
There’s no relief, I see you in my sleep
And everybody’s rushing me, but I can feel you touching me
There’s no release, I feel you in my dreams
Telling me I’m fine
Every time I close my eyes
It’s like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I’m scared that you won’t be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It’s like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there’s no you, except in my dreams tonight
Oh oh oh, ha ha ha
I don’t wanna wake up from this tonight
Oh oh oh oh, ha ha ha ha
I don’t wanna wake up from this tonight

Thanks to @TungJacob for sharing this beautiful song.
What if it rained? We didn’t care.Paul McCartney - My Valentine
What if it rained?
We didn’t care
She said that someday soon
The sun was gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine
My Valentine
As days and nights
Would pass me by
I tell myself that I was waiting for a sign
Then she appeared
A love so fine
My Valentine
And I will love her for life
And I will never let a day go by
Without remembering the reasons why
She makes me certain
That I can fly
And so I do
Without a care
I know that someday soon the sun is gonna shine
And she’ll be there
This love of mine
My valentine
What if it rained?
We didn’t care
She said that someday soon
The sun was gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine
My Valentine

We didn’t make mistakes,
We didn’t do anything wrong,
We didn’t fail,
Nor we lied…
And although at that time we did our best…
The memories, the thoughts,
Time has changed it all.
Promises to tears…
Vows to wounds…
A dear person…
Into a wonderful memory…
Inside the eternity.
What if we’d stopped there,
or if we’d turned the corner…
What if we hadn’t stumbled over pebbles,
or ever gotten lost,
or what if we had never stopped…
What if,
back then, what if,
No matter where beneath this same sky,
We Were There
From Bokura ga Ita (We Were There) manga

Every story has an ending; Ours is just the sameElliott Yamin - 3 Words
Every story has an ending
Ours is just the same
We can’t run away
Where’s the glory
In holding onto something we can’t change
Where’s the distance
Between the things you say and what you do
Let’s just tell the truth
And the resistance
Pretending that our love is bulletproof
When it’s all over
Say it’s all over
You pulled me in and shut me out
But that’s no way to say you need me
You lift me up and let me down
Apologise and say you love me
We need more than 3 words to take us backwards
It’s almost like we’re tryna find another way to say it’s over
To say it’s over
Do you remember the mystery in how it used to be
Or is that just me
The feeling lingers
But never long enough to make me believe
That it’s not over
It’s really over
You pulled me in and shut me out
But that’s no way to say you need me
You lift me up and let me down
Apologise and say you love me
We need more than 3 words to take us backwards
It’s almost like we’re tryna find another way to say it’s over
To say it’s over
Tonight we’ll see the last of us
The final scene
Tonight
Tonight
Every story has an ending
Ours is just the same

And every road comes back to you…
But it’s too late to turn back nowDead By Sunrise - Too Late
It’s cold and dark
I think I’m going insane
The end is coming, it’s true
I’m all alone and I’m screaming your name
It seems that’s all I can do
It’s hard to focus when your life is a blur
It’s hard to see the truth
How can I move on when there’s so much to learn
And every road comes back to you
But it’s too late to turn back now
It’s too loud to hear the sound
I’m so lost, I can’t be found
It’s too late to turn back now
I’m so lost, I cannot be found
It’s too late to turn back now

But that was love and it’s an ache I still rememberGotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (Feat. Kimbra)
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad it was over
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
But I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
And you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
You didn’t have to cut me off, make out like it never happened… and that we were nothing.
I used to tell myself that you were right for me, but still felt so lonely in your company. It’s true that you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness, it’s like resignation to the end. And it’s always the end where you can no longer hold on.
Then it was time we found out that we could not make sense.
I know I am the one to blame. I was always the one without faith, and it was always something that I did.
Now and then I still think of the time when we were together — that kind of so-happy-I-could-die mentality that I have grown out of.
Who said that we would still be friends? Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.
No, you didn’t really have to cut me off, make out like it never happened and that we were nothing.
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember.
I used to laugh at those girls who secretly long for one thing and still settle with another.
Those girls who made a decision but are still unable to put down the past.
Now I am one of them.
All because of you.
The thing is, I don’t even know if I should hate you or thank you for that.

This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put our love first
Something that we’d die for, it’s our curse
Don’t cry about it
There’s no reason to cry about itLana Del Rey - This Is What Makes Us Girls
There she was my new best friend
High heels in her hands, swayin’ in the wind
While she starts to cry, mascara runnin’ down her little Bambi eyes
“Lana, how I hate those guys.”
They were the only friends I ever had
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform
Crying ‘cause I know I’m never comin’ back
This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put our love first
Somethin’ that we’d die for, it’s our curse
Don’t cry about it, don’t cry about it
This is what makes us girls
We all stick together ‘cause we put our love first
Don’t cry about him, don’t cry about him
It’s all gonna happen
