Between the lines and the highway
Lies the danger and the safety
You never thought this was gonna last
I always knew you'd never take it back
I always knew (i always knew)

I know it seems like we're never coming back
I know it feels like we're never coming back
"You tried your best and you knew it wouldn't last"
These were the words that she placed on her casket

Between the sadness and the smile
Lies the flicker of the fire
[ This Is Who We Are lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
You always said this never hurt you
I always said you were a liar
With the all the towers and the wires
There still lies a little silence
Two hearts and one connection
One voice lets emotion out
I always knew (i always knew)

Instead of flowers like words that never mattered
Close it off- forget about the sadness (close it off- forget about the sadness)
He always said she should have tried crying
blaming him as she was lying down

Not coming back (Not coming back)

Life, is floating fast away.
But I look, your head is turned away.

From the moment you left I knew that something wasn't right.
But the feeling inside has kept me up all night.

You and me (and me) like one heart-beat.
You and me (and me) like one heart-beat.

So slice open my veins.
And let, the romance bleed away.

From the moment you left I knew that something wasn't right.
But the feeling inside has kept me up all night.

You and me (and me) like one heart-beat.
You and me (and me) like one heart-beat.

Back into I thought I knew, these words inside me, tell me what to do.
My heart held, in the palm of your hand.
(Forget my name)Now I know, the way to go, this place inside my demented mind.
(Forget my name)You saw me bleeding on the bathroom floor.
(Forget my name)This time in silence, this time I win.
(Forget my name)This time in silence, this time I win.
(Forget my name)This time in silence, this time I win.
(Forget my name)This time in silence, this time I win.
Forget my name

Friendster Horoscope for Today:

Virgo

The Bottom Line

Follow your heart and do what you think is right -- don't go along with the crowd.

In Detail

From time to time, the awful truth arises: not everyone has your best interests at heart. Believe the rumors or whispers you're hearing, but don't alter who you are or what you're about. Jealousy is driving this malevolence. Relationship issues come to the front today when it feels like someone may be holding you back -- as long as you're happy with who you are and where you're going, you're okay. But if you wish things were different, you must talk to them about it today.

oh what a coincidence. just today someone told me something about someone. should i follow stupid horoscopes or someone?
