Lyrics:
"Do you ever think, when you're all alone, All that we can be, where this thing can go, Am I crazy or falling in love, Is it really just another crush" - Crush by David Archuleta
"There's so much I left behind, Even more that waits in time, Everything so undefined, I'm standing on the edge of my fear, And I see it clear, Here's my resolution, I'm letting go, All i need to learn is along this road, And I just wanna be the best man I can be, Breathe, It's my resolution" - Resolution by Nick Lachey
"It's a thief in the night, To come and grab you, It can creep up inside you, And consume you, A disease of the mind, It can control you, It's too close for comfort" Disturbia by Rihanna
"So when I make a big mistake, And when I fall flat on my face, I know I'll be alright, Should my tender heart be broken, I will cry those teardrops knowing , I will be just fine, Cause nothing changes who I am" Who I Am - Jessica Andrews
"We don't need no education, We don't need no thought control, No dark sarcasm in the classroom" Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall
"I put your picture away, Sat down and cried today, I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her." - Pictures by Kidd Rock(ft.Sheryl Crow)
