No.51: Red – Not Alone 

“I am with you. I will carry you through it all. I won’t leave you, I will catch you. When you feel like letting go. ‘Cause you’re not, you’re not alone.

No.52: Lesley Gore – You Don’t Own Me 

“I’m young and I love to be young. I’m free and I love to be free. To live my life the way I want. To say and do whatever I please. And don’t tell me what to do. Oh, don’t tell me what to say. And please, when I go out with you. Don’t put me on display.”

No.53: Tim McGraw – Don’t Take The Girl

No.54: Linkin Park – One More Light 

“If they say. Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars. It flickers, flickers. Who cares when someone’s time runs out? If a moment is all we are. We’re quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do.”

No.55: Jack’s Mannequin – Caves 

“Beat my body like a rag doll. you stuck the needles in my hip. Said ‘we’re not gonna lie. Son, you just might die. Get you on that morphine drip, drip.’ The walls are caving in. As far as I can see. The walls are caving in. The doors got locked for sure. There’s no one here but me.”

No.56: Motionless In White – Porcelain 

“An altered state, sometimes I even scare myself. Is it too late to question fate? And hope is fleeting, still tethered to this grim divergence of my being. I can’t stop the bleeding, I can barely stand myself. God knows I tried, but broken, I bow to the beast inside. Covered my tracks, but couldn’t swallow my pride.”

No.57: Bette Midler – Wind Beneath My Wings

No.61: Jonathan Roy – Keeping Me Alive 

“Breakin’ every chain that you put on me. You thought I wouldn’t change but I grew on you. ‘Cause I will never be what you wanted. This fire (this fire), this fire. Is keeping me alive. Making me believe I couldn’t do without you. Make it hard to leave you think It’s all about you. You know I’ll never be what you wanted.”

No.62: Beartooth – Sunshine 

“The cold wind’s blowing. The light’s not showing. Excuses piling up. I can’t keep running. The end is coming. I think I need some. I think I need some. Sunshine that would finally showI might die if I stay in this cold.”

No.63: Roy Orbison – Crying 

“I thought that I was over you. But it’s true, so true. I love you even more. Than I did before. But darling, what can I do? For you don’t love me. And I’ll always be, crying over you.”

No.64: Disturbed – Another Way To Die

No.65: P.O.D. – Youth of the Nation 

“Little Suzy, she was only twelve. She was given the world. With every chance to excel. Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell. She might act kind of proud. But no respect for herself. She finds love in all the wrong places. The same situations. Just different faces. Changed up her pace since her daddy left her. Too bad he never told her. She deserved much better.”

No.66: Foo Fighters – My Hero

“I’m holding on. Why is everything so heavy? Holding on. To so much more than I can carry. I keep dragging around what’s bringing me down. If I just let go, I’d be set free. Holding on. Why is everything so heavy?”

No.68: Green Day – Boulevard of Broken Dreams

“My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me. My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating. Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me. ‘Til then, I walk alone.”

No.69: Red – Break Me Down 

“Break me down. Replace this fear inside. Take this nothingness from me. I want to find. I want to shine. I want to rise. Break me down. I try to find myself. I find the stranger trapped inside. And I take one more step away. From a face I used to recognize. Familiar shadows closing in. A Suffocating fear descends. It comes alive, uncovered eyes. Trying to find.”

No.70: Alter Bridge – Watch Over You 

“I can’t go on. Let you lose it all. It’s more than I can take. Who’ll ease your pain? Ease your pain. And who is gonna save you, when I’m gone? And who’ll watch over you?  And I will give you strength. When you’re not strong. Who’ll watch over you, when I’m gone away?”

No.71: Lonestar – Smile 

“Kiss me once for the good times, baby. Kiss me twice for goodbye. ‘Cause you can’t help how you don’t feel. And it doesn’t matter why. Give me a chance to bow out gracefully. ‘Cause that’s how I want you to remember me. So I’m gonna smile, ’cause I want to make you happy. Laugh, so you can’t see me cry. I’m gonna let you go in style. And even if it kills me, yeah, I’m gonna smile.”

No.72: Rascal Flatts – What Hurts The Most 

“What hurts the most. Was being so close. And having so much to say. And watching you walk away. And never knowing. What could’ve been. And not seeing that love in you. Is what I was trying to do. It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go. But I’m doing it. It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends. And I’m alone.”

No.73: 2 Pac – Dear Mama 

“And all my childhood memories. Are full of all the sweet things you did for me. And even though I act craaazy. I gotta thank the Lord that you made me.

I wish I could take the pain away.”

No.74: Everclear – Father of Mine 

“Sometimes you would send me a birthday card. With a five dollar bill. I never understood you then. And I guess I never will. Daddy gave me a name. My daddy gave me a name. (Then he walked away).”

No.75: Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah 

“Your faith was strong but you needed proof. You saw her bathing on the roof. Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her. She tied you to a kitchen chair. She broke your throne, and she cut your hair. And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.”

No.76: Luther Vandross – Dance With My Father

“When I and my mother would disagree. To get my way I would run from her to him. He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah. Then finally make me do just what my momma said. Later that night when I was asleep. He left a dollar under my sheet. Never dreamed that he would be gone from me.”

No.77: Pink featuring Nate Ruess – Just Give Me A Reason 

“Oh, tear ducts and rust. I’ll fix it for us. We’re collecting dust, but our love’s enough. You’re holding it in. You’re pouring a drink. No, nothing is as bad as it seems. We’ll come clean. Just give me a reason, just a little bit’s enough.”

No.78: Whitney Houston – Try It On My Own

No.79: Mariah Carey – Hero 

“It’s a long road. When you face the world alone. No one reaches out a hand. For you to hold. You can find love. If you search within yourself. And that emptiness you felt. Will disappear. And then a hero comes along. With the strength to carry on.”

No.80: Halestorm – Beautiful With You

“I stand naked before you now. No walls to hide behind. So here am I see all of my scars. Still here you are. I bare my soul and I’m not afraid. Not afraid. I am beautiful with you. Even in the darkest part of me. I am beautiful with you.”

No.81: Cold – Bleed

“Take all these strings, they call my veins. Wrap them around, every fucking thing. Presence of people not for me. Well I must remain in tune forever. My love is music, I will marry melody. I wanna’ bleed (I wanna show you all the pain). Show the world all that I have inside. I wanna scream (I wanna make you feel the same). Let the blood flow that keeps me alive.”

No.82: The Drifters – This Magic Moment

No.83: Alter Bridge – In Loving Memory 

“I carry the things that remind me of you. In loving memory of the one that was so true. You were as kind as you could be. And even though you’re gone. You still mean the world to me. I never knew what it was to be alone, no. ‘Cause you were always there for me. You were always home waiting. But now I come home and it’s not the same, no. It feels empty and alone. I just can’t believe you’re gone.

No.84: Don McLean – American Pie 

“Helter Skelter in the summer swelter. The birds flew off with a fallout shelter. Eight miles high and fallin’ fast. It landed foul on the grass. The players tried for a forward pass. With the jester on the sidelines in a cast. Now, the half-time air was sweet perfume. While the sergeants played a marching tune. We all got up to dance. Oh, but we never got the chance. ‘Cause the players tried to take the field. The marching band refused to yield. Do you recall what was revealed, the day the music died?

No.85: Citizen Soldier – Let It Burn 

“I know you feel like you are worthless, that your day has come. The misery eats you alive until you come undone. You feel like there is nowhere left to call your home tonight. You are not alone, this is our time, and I am by your side. My friend, this is do or die. Hey kid, can you hear me? Don’t you dare pull the trigger and throw it all away. You have every reason left to stay alive.”

No.86: Nothing More – Jenny 

“Self-destruct, spiral down.. Until your want becomes your need. Please get up like I know you can. Or forever love the fall ’cause. I don’t feel like I’m getting through to you. Let me paint this wheel. Life is short, my dear. See your mother here. Her last painful year. I wish you only knew. She stuck around for you. She stuck around for you.”

No.87: Smile Empty Soul – Bottom of a Bottle 

“And I, I wonder why I try. And I, I wonder why I bother. And I, I wonder why I cry. Why I, I go through all this trouble. I do it for the drugs. I do it just to feel alive. I do it for the love. That I get from the bottom of a bottle.”

No.88: Slipknot – Snuff 

“My heart is just too dark to care. I can’t destroy what isn’t there. Deliver me into my fate. If I’m alone I cannot hate. I don’t deserve to have you. Ooh, my smile was taken long ago. If I can change I hope I never know. I still press your letters to my lips. And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss. I couldn’t face a life without your light (without your light). But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight.”

No.89: The Calling – Things Will Go My Way 

“For all the lies I’ve tasted. Looking for the truth. For all the dreams I’m chasing. What am I to do? Everything’s against me. The answer’s are all wrong. Hoping that I’ll find out, it was worth it all along. So hold me now (So hold me now). And Say it’s not forever (Say it’s not forever). ‘Cause I know someday. In time, things will go my way.”

No.90: Lifehouse – You and Me 

“What are the things that I want to say, just aren’t coming out right? I’m tripping on words. You got my head spinning. I don’t know where to go from here. ‘Cause it’s you and me. And all of the people with nothing to do. Nothing to prove. And it’s you and me. And all of the people. And I don’t know why. I can’t keep my eyes off of you.”


No.91: Backstreet Boys – Incomplete 

“I tried to go on like I never knew you. I’m awake but my world is half asleep. I pray for this heart to be unbroken. But without you all I’m going to be is, incomplete. I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go. I don’t wanna make you face this world alone. I wanna let you go (alone).”

No.92: Blue October – Hate Me 

“And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave. Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made. And like a baby boy I never was a man, until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand. And then I fell down yelling, ‘Make it go away!’ Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be. And then she whispered, ‘How can you do this to me?'”

No.93: Vanaka featuring J.R. Richards – Still Beautiful 

“In this world, still beautiful. With all its suffering, and all its pain. What we have is held more precious when we see how fast it can change. In your eyes, I can see your heart light and beauty no shadow can touch. Hold a hand when you’re afraid. When you feel brave do the same. And lead from the place inside that knows how to follow the light. Look for the love, trust the love that lives within as you let love lead.”

No.94: Jimmy Eat World – Hear You Me 

“So what would you think of me now? So lucky, so strong, so proud. I never said thank you for that. Now I’ll never have a chance. May angels lead you in. Hear you me, my friends. On sleepless roads, the sleepless go. May angels lead you in.

No.95: Lifehouse – Broken 

“I’m fallin’ apart, I’m barely breathing. With a broken heart that’s still beating. In the pain there is healing. In your name I find meaning. So I’m holdin’ on. I’m holdin’ on. I’m holdin’ on. I’m barely holdin’ on to you.”

No.96: Creed – Faceless Man 

“Next time I see this face. I’ll say I choose to live for always. So, won’t you come inside. And never go away? Next time I see this face. I’ll say I choose to live for always. So, won’t you come inside
And never go away?”

No.97: Augustana – Boston 

“In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh, it has begun. Oh, dear, you look so lost, your eyes are red when tears are shed. This world, you must have crossed, you said. ‘You don’t know me, and you don’t even care.’ Oh-yeah, and you said. ‘You don’t know me, and you don’t wear my chains'”

No.98: Falling in Reverse – Watch The World Burn 

“The pain inside is the fuel that drives, this flesh and bone through blood-red skies. The death defying, hypnotizing. One day you’re gonna figure out that. Everything they taught you was a lie. Watch the world burn.”

No.99: Chevelle – The Red 

“They say ‘Freak.’ When you’re singled out. The red, well, it filters through. So lay down, the threat is real. When his sight, goes red again.”
