JoJo "I Hate Love" (with comments)
Woah. Me too.
I come close get a dose but it just ain't enough.
I think that I have it in my hand, but it slips away
Right guy wrong time right time wrong guy.
MY FAVORITE LINE OF THE SONG
What's the use? Why even try?
maybe i should give up...What's the rush
Gettin caught up
And then it's over.
Why try, why attempt, because nothing ever comes of it.
Now im crushed, and I'm crying and there's no shoulder.
Crying here alone.
It plays out so different in my dream.
Things ain't always what they seem.
And that's why...
I don't get all excited when somebody brings me flowers.
Ain't gon be sittin on my phone more than an hour.
I'm tired of waiting around for someone to woo me
It hurts but I still run to it.
all they do is hurt, but yet I want more.
Oh I hate love, I hate love..
Scared of what it does to me but I just got to have it.
It beats me, it ruins me, but yet I come back
Been right in my reach but for some reason I can't grab it.
I can see it, I can taste it, and yet so far away
Love keeps hating on me, so I hate love...I hate love.
Don't wanna hear nobody tellin me they needin more time.
I don't want to be on his clock waiting for him
Questionin, where I been, all up in mine...
But he wants to control me?
New guy old lines, old guy new lies..
Same crap, different guys
Don't know why I even try.
What's the rush...Gettin caught up, and then it's over.
Now im crushed...and im crying, and theres no shoulder.
It plays out so different in my dreams.
Thing ain't always what they seem...
And that's why..
I don't get all excited when somebody brings me flowers.
Ain't gon be sittin on my phone more than an hour.
It hurts but I still run to it.
Oh I hate love, I hate love..
Scared of what it does to me but I just got to have it.
Been right in my reach but for some reason I can't grab it.
Love keeps hating on me, so I hate love...I hate love.
The more that I say it...the less that I mean it.
I'm still trying to convince myself, but its getting easier
I just want somebody for me
And the more that I see it
The more that I want it
I'm still hopeful, but people keep ruining my trust
But I need something that makes me believe
They tell me one day, it will be worth the wait
If I keep hoping, maybe this time it will be my turn
But I don't want to hurt on the way
So im not gon settle
But I don't want love any old way, I want the right one so I will wait.
I know better
So understand what I say
I hate I hate love L.O.V.E I hate
I don't get all excited when somebody brings me flowers
Ain't gon be sittin on my phone more than an hour
It hurts but I still run to it
Oh I hate love I hate love..
Scared of what it does to me but I just got to have
Been right in my face but for some reason I can't grab it
Love keeps hattin on me
So I hate love I hate love...

Wale "Diary" (with abridged lyrics and comments)
If I told you I wanted to talk to you, you know
You'd think I'm tryin' to holler at you
And maybe I am, but you wouldn't hear me out anyways would you?
So jaded.
Rather lose love than to move on never knowin' what it feels like
Short days, long nights by the phone, no call
She doesn't want to put herself out there. She doesn't want to risk it.
Need a clear mind cuz I been blind got me goin down that road
Heart made of stone
Far away from home,
Black woman c-c-cold
She would rather look cold hearted than make herself available.
Every problem that you ever had with another man, i gotta face
Started off on thin ice i'm still here but i can't skate
Slow sink, can't breathe
See she wants to give her heart away, but she can't because the last time she did, it only brought pain. She wants to bring him close, but at the same time she can't bear to have him closer than arms length.
No remorse, don't think
Listen to your friend,
Get another man for a minute then repeat
She's thinking maybe if I change the man, I can get a different result, when in reality, she can only change herself to be free.
Queen,
You deserve the title
But she rejects what i give
While she nurse the wounds by them
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothin' I do's gonna work
Diary of a black girl
He wants to give her the world, to give her the chance at happiness. He knows exactly what she needs, but she won't let him in. She doesn't want to heal, to be free, so she's trapped, another black girl.
[Chorus:]
I wonder why I sit and cry, wish I could shed all these tears
I'm down and out, I'll keep on movin' and tryin' to get out
I don't know how to move on, where I went wrong
Wish I could live with no fears
So down and out, I'll keep it movin' and try to get out, somehow
The problem is not that she doesn't know she has a problem. The problem is that she doesn't know how to be free. She's tried changing the men, looking for the guy that might change her mind, but the only person to change her mind is herself. She's tired of fighting herself, of getting in a fight with herself, and losing.
Black girl
Raise by a momma who, hates the baby father, so
She don't have a problem with, sayin' "fuck a nigga" quick
All her life, she heard her mother talking about the crappy men in her life, about the men who treated her like she didn't matter. She heard her mother talk about how bad men were, and that stayed. That resentment stayed.
I'm just tryin' to be the one who never run, but you run away from me
Your girlfriend's men cheat, why not me the same thing
He wants to be the world for her, but she only hears the stories from her friends about the bad men, she only hears the things that tell her not to go to him.
She can't see in me, what I see in her
This pain she inherit, can't be reversed
For him, she is the one. For her, he is another nigga, another guy waiting to screw her over.
I can even stay livin' in the shade above the motherfuckers that played ya
The irony in that is I ain't even that but you put it in those pages
He could remain in that place, continuing the stereotype, but he knows there is something much deeper to her pain.
Wife, you deserve the label,
But you been hurt before,
So you sore, and don't feel you're able
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothing that i ever do'll work
Diary of a black girl
[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)

Feist "Let It Die" (with comments)
We don't see eye to eye
Or hear ear to ear
Don't you wish that we could forget that kiss
And see this for what it is
That we're not in love
The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
It was hard to tell just how I felt
To not recognize myself
I started to fade away
And after all it won't take long to fall in love
Now I know what I don't want
I learned that with you
The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
The tragedy starts from the very first spark
Losing your mind for the sake of your heart
The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
Avril Lavigne "Things I'll Never Say" (with comments)
I'm tuggin' at my hair
I'm pullin' at my clothes
I'm tryin' to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
And I'm searching for the words inside my head
'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it
Yeah...
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could see what I want to see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good it's just a waste of time
What use is it to you what's on my mind?
If it ain't comin' out, we're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care?
'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it
Yeah...
If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could see what I wanna see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
(What is)What's wrong with my tongue?
These words keep slipping away
(I stutter)I stutter (I stumble)I stumble like I've got nothing to say
'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it
Yeah...
