[YouShouldBeStrongerThanMe]

It's okay in the day I'm staying busy
Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he
Got so sick of crying
So just lately
When I catch myself I do a 180
I stay up clean the house
At least I'm not drinking
Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content
That everyone gets
Just disappears soon as the sun sets

This face in my dreams seizes my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked in soul
He swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

If I was my heart
I'd rather be restless
The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
This ache in my chest
As my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now
My blood running cold
I stand before him
It's all I can do to assure him
When he comes to me
I drip for him tonight
Drowning in me we bathe under blue light

I have always loved this song. The song is timeless....

I came home this evening and nothing felt like how it should be
I feel like writing you a letter but that is not me...you know me
Feel so f*cking angry; don't wanna be reminded of you
But when I left my sh*t in your kitchen, I said goodbye to your bedroom it smelled of you - I love this lyrics, especially this verse, I don't know why but when she says "but that's not me, you know me, i feel so fucking angry" you can just feel the emotions in this lyrics and the way she sings it out. i looove this song, been listening to it for many years and i never get tired of it. can relate alot to this song.

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried when amy died i went to germany because i had to visit a friend and on the bus over there i heard Rehab and these sentences hurts when i listen to them, mostly because it is so true. i know how she felt like. unbelieveable how much i can relate to her music.

His message was brutal but the delivery was kind love the way she sings it.

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside love back to black, especially this verse. beautiful song, beautiful woman.

You say 'when we married",
'cause you're not bitter,
"There'll be none of him no more,"
I cried for you on the kitchen floor, love this verse, dont know why but it says alot without saying too much.

We put it in writing
But who you writing for
Just us on kitchen floor love this one also. says alot of what i have felt and still feel. sometimes people say that amys lyrics is weird and you do not know what she means with what she is saying but i think that if you have felt something similar to amy you get the point and i do.

there is so many songs from amy that i absolutely adore, but i cannot put them all in there because that will take too much time and i wont spam this forum. haha! but maybe when i get the time i'll share some more.

'Me and my head high and my tears dry
Get on without my guy'

We've all been there - for me her lyrics just summed up exactly how I have felt - felt like she had looked into my heart and soul sometimes.

I love the way she sings "my blood running cold" in wake up alone. It thrills me everytime.
Wake Up Alone is the best song I heard in my life so far. If you have a good sound system, your in another world. Its so timeless.

It's my favorite Amy song. It's a masterpiece lyrically and musically. When I try to get friends, relatives, and people on other forums to listen to her, it's the song I recommend (in addition to Rehab if they're totally ignorant of Amy's work). The whole song is one big quote for me.

EDIT: I just noticed tildeziegler just did quote the whole song. (post 31). I admire that kind of dedication.

Same here

Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through.
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to
And I go back to......

Too many great lyrics from Amy!

One that i keep thinking about for some reason is the simile "Like two ships passing in the night"

Blimey, there are loads! This is tough. I'll try and keep it down to just 1 or i could be typing lyrics all night! I now feel like a lil kid at Christmas being told to pick 1 toy out of the whole store LOL

''Don't be too upset, if they call you a skank, coz like the news everyday you get pressed''.

That always makes me smile and i get the feeling Amy enjoyed singing it
