Well one of my favorites has to be Frogs by Alice in Chains:
What does friend mean to you?
A word so wrongfully abused
Are you like me, confused
All included but you
Alone...
The sounds of silence often soothe
Shapes and colors shift with mood
Pupils widen and change their hue
Rapid brown avoid clear blue
Why's it have to be this way
Be this way
Flowers watched through wide brown eyes bloom
A child sings an unclaimed tune
Innocence spins cold cocoon
Grow to see the pain too soon
Why's it have to be this way
Be this way
"At 7 am on a Tuesday, usual August ...
Next week I'll be 28...
I'm still young, it'll be me...
Off the wall I scrape... you...
I can't wake, I gotta wake...
To cause this wake, I gotta wake no more...
It causes wake, to drown this hate....
To never really stay, never will.....
You take your plate...
Put me through hell, live, live...
Direct your fate...
You say I can do it so well...
Your expiration date...
Fate, date, expiration date...
(this was the last time)
Hate...
And don't fuck with me again...
My own clean slate...
Don't fuck with me again...
Makes your eyes dilate...
Makes you shake...
Irate..."
Layne Staley's voice is just incredible and I just love how he described his troubles in this song.

Ok, I hate to say this, but I have never heard of most of these songs, and even some of the artists are total strangers. I'm going to have to look them up now.
For the past ten years or so, I've been pretty much ignoring American pop music, and avoiding English pop as well. I listen to mostly Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Italian, and German stuff. Mostly in that order.
I need more music...

Wheesung's "Walking across heaven"
translation by: Yoonie (also credit: aheeyah.com)
My tears are wiped by my stiff hands
As I prepare the late gift
In a place smaller than your room
I hide you inside me, so you can be comfortable
Forget your sorry feelings
But don’t forget the love you had
Go on a vacation to somewhere higher than I can reach
When you get there, still approach me in my dreams
Your face with your eyes closed looked pretty
So I couldn’t make you open them
In the dark night with my eyes open, I neared you
Afraid you’d be afraid without me
Even though I’m unable to go anywhere else
Forget your sorry feelings
But don’t forget the love you had
Go on a vacation to somewhere higher than I can reach
When you get there, still approach me in my dreams
You’re kinder than anyone, I wanted to hold you, over anyone else
Someone in heaven wanted you too
To keep you close (Without even asking)
Your breath was stopped (To take you away)
Then you slipped away from me
If only I hurried a day faster (Hurried faster)
And asked you to marry me (If only I asked you)
The ring asleep in my pocket
Would have been on your finger
Will you wait for me? We’ll meet again, where you are right now
The song is simply beautiful.

Too many songs get me with just that one amazing verse (or several amazing verses). But to pick 2 of them, I would choose Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated by Rise Against and Worth Dying For, also by Rise Against.
Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
So please don't ask me how
I ended up at my wits end and breaking down.
Pages torn from books we never read,
Cuz we're plugged into this grid.
Don't pull this plug right now,
Or then we really have to live.
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what i haven't done?
It's not the end, that I fear with each breathe
It's life that scares me to death...
When we built these dreams on sand,
How they all slipped through our hands.
And this might be our only chance.
Let's take this one day at a time,
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine.
The time that we kill keeps us alive.
Your words won't save me now.
I'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow.
Get a grip on yourself is what they say,
Every hour every day.
Hands over my ears,
I've been screaming all these years
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what i haven't done?
It's not the end, that I fear with each breathe
It's life that scares me to death...
When we built these dreams on sand,
How they all slipped through our hands.
And this might be our only chance.
Let's take this one day at a time,
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine.
The time that we kill keeps us alive.
We came in search of answers
We left empty handed again.
Shots fired from the sky
Are now returning.
Where the fuck will you hide?
From the laughter in the closet, some alive
But the door hinges are squeaking letting in Thin shards of light.
And now our hands extending outward,
Quiet comfort they invite,
And do we dare take what they offer?
Do we step into the light?
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what i haven't done?
It's not the end, that I fear with each breathe
It's life that scares me to death...
When we built these dreams on sand,
How they all slipped through our hands.
And this might be our only chance.
Let's take this one day at a time,
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine.
The time that we kill keeps us alive.
When we built these dreams on sand,
How they all slipped through our hands.
And this might be our only chance.
Let's take this one day at a time,
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine.
The time that we kill keeps us alive.
The chorus to this song is simply amazing. The rest of it is great too, but the chorus tops even that.
Worth Dying For
Set me off like dynamite strapped tight around my waist
We are the ones in competition but claim this ain't no race
(Let's go!)
Take a breath and explode like bullets
Tearing through the wind
Cut me up with a razor blade
That tries to separate the skin
Now when the
White flames are burning flags
We found a world worth dying for yeah
We've been battered so hard that
We don't feel anymore
Take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
So take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
Send me off on the morning breeze so far away from here
Feel me rise in the strength I've found inside the warm embracing air
I'm moving slow
Like a glacier melting
Watch me dissipate
I searched for love in an empty world
But all I found was hate
Now in the
White flames of burning flags
We found a world worth dying for, yeah
We've been battered so hard that
We don't feel anymore
Take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
So take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
Don't ask me why
'Cuz I don't know
Don't ask me how
I'm gonna solve this on my own
Don't ask me why
'Cuz I don't know
These things I've never faced
Scratch out, but it won't erase
In wreckage of a job well done
I saw a place I'd never seen before, yeah
That's when I refused to close my eyes anymore
Take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
So take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
So take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
So take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
So take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
So take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?

I dont care about the lyrics too much as long the song sounds good in my ears but these 3 songs come in my mind for now.
Moonspell - Goat On Fire
'It is the dawn of a new morning at the Mountains of Silver
and I would rather live in the ice than in the middle of
the modern virtue and other southern winds'
When the cold winds blows the fog away
releasing dark shining shapes of a mystic forest.
I embrace the Nightfall
Old voices from ancient Witches announce
the gathering of thee
...The ones of a thousand young.
Here in the North... where We come forth to assemble.
Where I Knee unto thee...
Four times one and one are all.
The four crowned Princes of Hell.
The ones with the Sygil of Evil...
Witness... the Goat on Fire. Who feed my desire.
The Goat on Fire.
A goat with the Northern Ice.
A goat with the Southern Fire.
Rex Tenebrarum! The crow over my soul.
Tremendae Majestatis. The raven inside my Heart...
Four times one and one are all.
The four crowned princes of Hell
The ones with the Sygil of Evil...
Goat on Fire... Come feed my desire.
Diablo - Rebellion Of One
Hey I try to let go but I know that they will remind me
Of the past and all the things I've done I cannot believe this
How could I be so blind blood is thicker than water but
Now this shit has gone too far
Deep down inside me it's screaming endlessly
Rage keeps me alive rage won't ever die
To see things the way I do just walk a mile in my shoes
Cos I know what it feels like
When someone tries to steal the air I breathe
Blowin' out my flame scorn and disbelief partnership for my needs
I'm going nowhere fast and now there is no turning back
(THEY'VE TRIED TO CHANGE ME BREAK ME
FORCE ME TO BE SOMETHING I'M NOT
I DON'T WASTE MY TIME TO BLAME THEM
I JUST KEEP ON GOING WITH MY REBELLION OF ONE)
In Flames - Ordinary Story
Egoism dictates human relations
A world where fashion outshines morality
Here success is written in blood-red colours
Designed by the thirst for power
Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifference
An all to ordinary story
With aftertaste so bitter
Forced to be someone I don't want to be
I'm losing myself. sinking deeper down
I'm caught in the world wound web
A time represented by the void
An excuse without content
Stuck in the abyss of existence
With a content void of excuse
An all to ordinary story
This is my story
With an aftertaste so bitter
Sinking deeper down
I'm caught - I'm cage
I'm gone

I just love the song "Listening to Freddie Mercury" by Emery 
We are all the same people
With sinning hearts that make us equal
Here's my hand, not words said desperately

Paper Thin Walls
Modest Mouse
These walls are paper thin and everyone hears every little sound
Everyone's a voyeurist, they're watching me watch them watch me right now
They're shaking hands, they're shaking in their shoes, oh Lord don't shake me down
Everyone wants to move them and half of everyone else moves around
It's been agreed the whole world stinks so no one's taking showers anymore
Laugh hard, it's a long ways to the bank
I can't be blamed for nothing anymore
It's been a long time since you've been around
Laugh hard, it's a long ways to the bank
Tow the line to tax the time you know that you don't owe
I can't be a fool for everyone that I don't know
These walls are paper thin and everyone hears every little sound
Everyone's a voyeurist, they're watching me watch them watch me right now
They're shaking hands, they're shaking in their shoes, oh Lord don't shake me down
Everyone wants to move them and half of everyone else moves around
It's been agreed the whole world stinks so no one's taking showers anymore
Laugh hard, it's a long ways to the bank

I can't be a fool for everyone that I don't know
-----------------------------------
That was a Crazy Game of Poker (Live from Madison Square Garden)
O.A.R.
They call me crazy
I think I lost my mind
But I stopped looking for this shit a long time ago
I might be lazy, see
Half my days
Just sitting down on a couch
Try to think a couple clever things to say
Well see but that's just me
I got a boulder on my shoulder
Gonna cut that thing in half
And I gotta get where I'm going real soon
I gotta get there fast
And the harder that it gets
And the more that I move
Oh the moon became my best friend
I ended up playing with the devil at a saloon
Now it was hard for me
I left behind everything that I own
And I walked out west
Threw a knapsack around my back
Hat on my head but the sun burned through
I got a hole in the bottom of my shoe
I'm not sure
What to say, what to do at this time
I saw an old bar back and behind
I bust the door went back to the back
Sat down at a table how about that
I saw an old couple dudes
And one man got red eyes
And he stare right through me
Burned two holes in my chest
And I'm pretty sure it was the Devil
Said my son would you like to play a game
For your soul and your brain and your heart
I got a few dollars left, I said that's fine
That was the craziest game I'd ever played in my life
Now when the devil talk to you
You got a thing or two you gotta understand about
He not really talking at you, he talking in you
And the way he be, the way he sound
A little something laying down from the ground
I got it tight, distorting it right
And this is how he sound just a little tonight
He go
Oh no, hell no, I'm not gonna let him talk to me
Not like that, not tonight in the Garden
Things are gonna go our way today
So I spat back
A little this and a little that
Something to say
And this is how he sounded at the end of the day
He go
Oh my twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left just folded down
Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
I had three Jacks and a pair of Nines
Well my mind is turning just two shots more
Not much left to play
Then dude walk in, black hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop, cause I'm just running out of my time
Who's up for game two, what to do?
My wallets getting thin and I just lost my watch last night
Well I got a problem just one answer gotta throw it all down
(And kiss that shit goodbye)
Yeah
That was a crazy (game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I'm never to fall
Never to fall)
Who's up for game three?
I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
I just lost it all
There's a man sitting next to me
Red with smiling eyes
It's funny, I don't have no money tonight
Oh no
That was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I'm never to fall
Never to fall
I say now scittily dat dat, baby how 'bout that
Coming out the front and never out the back
And I walk into the bar yesterday
I had something to do, something to say
He walked in behind me and I did not turn around
Till I heard that sound of feet falling on that ground
Look over my shoulder and I saw me a clown
I say now what y'all doing in the Garden tonight
So I asked Johnny what you doing tonight
(He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution)
He said
I say of, you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say now of, you say a, a revolution, may God be with me
Oh no no no
Yo yo
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
So here we are tonight, doing it right, New York City style
You see the music, it got me deep in my gut, I cannot feel it no more
It taken over everything that I got, every blood and every pore
You see for me, the music got it right, the rhythm got me beat tonight
I'd like to give it all, I'd like to give it, would you give it right back?
Say yeah (yeah), say yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah), whoa (whoa)
Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)
Whoa (whoa), I need a little bit of rhythm from the rhythm
So here I am, playing a game with the Devil himself
He got his eyes peeled straight on me, try to take away my wealth
And that's fine because the dollars don't make any sense to me at all
You can pile them chips high, as high as you want, but you're never gonna have it all
And you can run just as fast as you want to, but you're stuck with yourself till the end
Find yourself running around in circles looking for your oldest friend
You can stack your chips as high as you'd like, but you can never get it all
So when the Devil took my money, man he, he took my gold, he took me
He took my wallet, and he, he took my watch
And that was fine with me because he cannot ever get my soul
Won't ever get it no
So from the front to the back row, let me know
Did you have a good time tonight?
So from the front to the back row, let me know
Did you have a good time tonight?
So rise on up, to that highest mountain top
At the top of the Garden let them know we were here tonight
Don't you ever ever quit, don't ever stop
Don't give a shit, because you got the drop
And you don't ever quit, and you shouldn't ever stop
Because I got the drop
And you all got eyes, two eyes just like mine
Feeling mighty funky, kind of fine
I drank a bottle of whiskey before I came
To the place to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sitting across the table from me
To my left he was a man, you see he had no, no gin
He didn't really think about starting to sin
But see that man to my right, he wasn't feeling mighty nice
He musta looked kinda mad, I think I felt kinda bad
That I'm kinda struggling
I love my honey bunny
I don't know what to say any more
I just gotta get out the front front door
So I asked Johnny what you doin tonight
(He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution)
And he said
I say of, you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say now of, you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, and you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, you say a, revolution, may God be with me
Will you watch over us tonight? God be with me
I could sure use just a little more of your life

Everyone's a voyeurist, they're watching me watch them watch me right now
They're shaking hands, they're shaking in their shoes, oh Lord don't shake me down
Everyone wants to move them and half of everyone else moves around
It's been agreed the whole world stinks so no one's taking showers anymore
Laugh hard, it's a long ways to the bank
I can't be blamed for nothing anymore
It's been a long time since you've been around
Laugh hard, it's a long ways to the bank
Tow the line to tax the time you know that you don't owe
I can't be a fool for everyone that I don't know

-----------------------------------
That was a Crazy Game of Poker (Live from Madison Square Garden)
O.A.R.
They call me crazy
I think I lost my mind
But I stopped looking for this shit a long time ago
I might be lazy, see
Half my days
Just sitting down on a couch
Try to think a couple clever things to say
Well see but that's just me
I got a boulder on my shoulder
Gonna cut that thing in half
And I gotta get where I'm going real soon
I gotta get there fast
And the harder that it gets
And the more that I move
Oh the moon became my best friend
I ended up playing with the devil at a saloon
Now it was hard for me
I left behind everything that I own
And I walked out west
Threw a knapsack around my back
Hat on my head but the sun burned through
I got a hole in the bottom of my shoe
I'm not sure
What to say, what to do at this time
I saw an old bar back and behind
I bust the door went back to the back
Sat down at a table how about that
I saw an old couple dudes
And one man got red eyes
And he stare right through me
Burned two holes in my chest
And I'm pretty sure it was the Devil
Said my son would you like to play a game
For your soul and your brain and your heart
I got a few dollars left, I said that's fine
That was the craziest game I'd ever played in my life
Now when the devil talk to you
You got a thing or two you gotta understand about
He not really talking at you, he talking in you
And the way he be, the way he sound
A little something laying down from the ground
I got it tight, distorting it right
And this is how he sound just a little tonight
He go
Oh no, hell no, I'm not gonna let him talk to me
Not like that, not tonight in the Garden
Things are gonna go our way today
So I spat back
A little this and a little that
Something to say
And this is how he sounded at the end of the day
He go
Oh my twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left just folded down
Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
I had three Jacks and a pair of Nines
Well my mind is turning just two shots more
Not much left to play
Then dude walk in, black hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop, cause I'm just running out of my time
Who's up for game two, what to do?
My wallets getting thin and I just lost my watch last night
Well I got a problem just one answer gotta throw it all down
(And kiss that shit goodbye)
Yeah
That was a crazy (game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I'm never to fall
Never to fall)
Who's up for game three?
I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
I just lost it all
There's a man sitting next to me
Red with smiling eyes
It's funny, I don't have no money tonight
Oh no
That was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I'm never to fall
Never to fall
I say now scittily dat dat, baby how 'bout that
Coming out the front and never out the back
And I walk into the bar yesterday
I had something to do, something to say
He walked in behind me and I did not turn around
Till I heard that sound of feet falling on that ground
Look over my shoulder and I saw me a clown
I say now what y'all doing in the Garden tonight
So I asked Johnny what you doing tonight
(He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution)
He said
I say of, you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say now of, you say a, a revolution, may God be with me
Oh no no no
Yo yo
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
So here we are tonight, doing it right, New York City style
You see the music, it got me deep in my gut, I cannot feel it no more
It taken over everything that I got, every blood and every pore
You see for me, the music got it right, the rhythm got me beat tonight
I'd like to give it all, I'd like to give it, would you give it right back?
Say yeah (yeah), say yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah), whoa (whoa)
Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)
Whoa (whoa), I need a little bit of rhythm from the rhythm
So here I am, playing a game with the Devil himself
He got his eyes peeled straight on me, try to take away my wealth
And that's fine because the dollars don't make any sense to me at all
You can pile them chips high, as high as you want, but you're never gonna have it all
And you can run just as fast as you want to, but you're stuck with yourself till the end
Find yourself running around in circles looking for your oldest friend
You can stack your chips as high as you'd like, but you can never get it all
So when the Devil took my money, man he, he took my gold, he took me
He took my wallet, and he, he took my watch
And that was fine with me because he cannot ever get my soul
Won't ever get it no
So from the front to the back row, let me know
Did you have a good time tonight?
So from the front to the back row, let me know
Did you have a good time tonight?
So rise on up, to that highest mountain top
At the top of the Garden let them know we were here tonight
Don't you ever ever quit, don't ever stop
Don't give a shit, because you got the drop
And you don't ever quit, and you shouldn't ever stop
Because I got the drop
And you all got eyes, two eyes just like mine
Feeling mighty funky, kind of fine
I drank a bottle of whiskey before I came
To the place to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sitting across the table from me
To my left he was a man, you see he had no, no gin
He didn't really think about starting to sin
But see that man to my right, he wasn't feeling mighty nice
He musta looked kinda mad, I think I felt kinda bad
That I'm kinda struggling
I love my honey bunny
I don't know what to say any more
I just gotta get out the front front door
So I asked Johnny what you doin tonight
(He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution)
And he said
I say of, you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say now of, you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, and you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, you say a, revolution, may God be with me
Will you watch over us tonight? God be with me
I could sure use just a little more of your life

@Makyxed & hey5820 Thanks

Deep Purples - Picture Of Innocence:
I hear they're trying to make us all the same
It's mind control by any other name
Who's gonna pay the price
For this foolish paradise
Oh…Momma don't take that train
I hear it said we're headed too far south
Chinese whispers go by word of mouth
Rules for every size and shape
The nag has gone, shut the gate
Once you're in you're never getting out
I'm so misunderstood
There goes my manlihood
She's in my face again
With that picture of innocence
No drinks, No smokes
No dicking around
No dirty jokes
Straight lace, straight face
The old straight jacket
We got no hope
I hear they're gonna try out something new
I can feel it sticking to my shoe
So this is what tomorrow holds
Hopes and dreams are bought and sold
But still the world is misty green and blue
I', so misunderstood
There goes my mannish boyhood
She's in my face again
With that picture of innocence
No deals, No strokes
No forbidden fruit
No holy smoke
What next, no sex
That's the end of the road
That's the end of the road
We got no hope
No drinks, No smokes
No dicking around
No dirty jokes
Straight lace, straight face
The old straight jacket
We got no hope
No deals, No strokes
No forbidden fruit
No holy smoke
What next, no sex
That's the end of the road
We got no hope
Deep Purple - Razzle Dazzle
I don't have the time of day
I don't know what day I is
Someone's falling on my head
Get up:get up
We're going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
To me it don't matter
It's where I belong
It's a matter of distinction
A real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction
And a wonderful time
This room's so cold and bare
There's nothing here for me
I've got to find some heat somewhere
Get up:get up
We're going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
It really doesn't matter
When I'm bangin' on a gong
While someone's holding out
To a willing congregation
And we can all forget about
The state of the nation
Can't hear a thing
But I see your lips are moving
I'm working on my thinking
And I think it's improving
I'm going to get the blame
So I might as well deliver
If only I can swim across
This weird human river
I know I started out
With the best of intentions
Some blinding inspiration
And a few not-to-mention
And now I'm looking deep
Into the last dying embers
Shouting what are we doing here
And nobody remembers
I've lost a friend or two
I don't know where they have gone
Only one thing I can do
Get up:get up
I'm going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
To me it don't matter
It's where I belong
It's a matter of distinction
A real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction
And a wonderful time

Quote from kitty7krazy
"The Tower" by Vienna Teng
Gah! That was one of mine!
Anyways, I love a lot other Vienna Teng songs, Drought especially. It matches a lot of what I feel personally.
summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall
wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all
how sweet is the day
I'm craving a darkness
as I sit tucked away with my back to the wall
and the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
and the landscape of merry and desperate drought
how much longer dear angels
let winterlight come
and spread your white sheets over my empty house
summer move forward and leave your heat anchored in dust
forgotten him, cheated him, painted illusions of lust
now language escape, fugitive of forgiveness
leaving as trace only circles of rust
and the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
and the landscape of merry and desperate drought
how much longer dear angels
come break me with ice
let the water of calm trickle over my doubts
come let me drown
angels no fire no salt on the plow
carry me down
bury me down
and the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth
and the landscape of merry and desperate drought
once I knew myself
and with knowing came love
I would know love again if I had faith enough
too far is next spring and her jubilant shout
so angels, inside
is the only way out

Not a favourite, but:
Nine Inch Nails - Everyday is exactly the same
I belive I can see the future, cos I repeat the same routine.
Love that line.
My favourite lyrics are probally things by Maynard James Keenan, lead singer of Tool/A Perfect Circle/etc.

"Your Guardian Angel" - by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
this song makes me cry everytime, cause i always remember a really close friend of mine who died a couple of months ago.
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's ok. It's ok. It's ok.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away,
Please tell me you'll stay, stay
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
