No.101: Falling In Reverse – Popular Monster
“‘Cause I’m about to break down, I’m searching for a way out. I’m a liar, I’m a cheater, I’m a non-believer. I’m a popular, popular monster. I break down, falling into love now with falling apart. I’m a popular, popular fucking monster.”

No.104: Three Days Grace – Home

No.105: Citizen Soldier Featuring Royal Bliss – Through Hell
“They’re gonna talk you down like you’re a stupid kid. You gonna wave a white flag or are you gonna get pissed? What you call taking punches, I call learning how to live. So keep your prison cell,
I’d rather go through hell, through hell. To be the person I am today. Had to find myself, myself. Climbing a mountain of my mistakes (mistakes). ‘Cause I was worth the war that’s underneath my skin. And if I had to, I would do it all again. Through hell, through hell.”

No.109: Nothing More – Go To War
“Screaming at the ones we love. Like we forgot who we can trust. Screaming at the top of our lungs. On the grounds where we feel safe. Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Hush, my baby, make no sound. Maybe we can wait each other out. It’s a Cold War. Let’s go to war.”

No.111: Backstreet Boys – The Perfect Fan

No.112: 98 Degrees – I Do (Cherish You)

No.113: Brian McKnight 6,8, 12

No.116: Toni Braxton With Kenny G – How Could An Angel Break My Heart

No.117: Michael Bolton – How Am I Supposed to Live Without You
“I’m too proud for cryin’, didn’t come here to break down. It’s just a dream of mine is coming to an end. And how can I blame you when I built my world around. The hope that one day we’d be so much more than friends? I don’t wanna know the price, I’m gonna pay for dreaming, oh. Even now it’s more than I can take. Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you?”
No.118: Extreme – More Than Words

No.119: Uncle Sam – I Don’t Ever Want To See You Again

No.124: Michael Buble – Home

“Fly me up to where you are. Beyond the distant star. I wish upon tonight, to see you smile. If only for a while. To know you’re there. A breath away’s not far to where you are. Are you gently sleeping, here inside my dream? And isn’t faith believing, all power can’t be seen?”
No.126: Sent By Ravens – Best In Me
“Now I’m naked, at least you see me for who I am, so fragile. I wait with hope that the coming change won’t blow us away. Forgive me I don’t mean to intrude, you see my hands are shaking too. Just settle down, this storm won’t last forever. We’re built for more than this world.”

Don’t you know nobody’s perfect. Do you understand how hard I’m trying for you? I am doing the best I can with everything I am.”
No.128: Rev Theory – Broken Bones
“Now I am calling. Hoping you’ll hear me. We all need somebody, to believe in something. And I won’t fear this. When I am falling, we all need somebody. That can mend these broken bones. Caught in the confines of the simple life. And I am. Holding my head high in the rising tide. And I can’t win, and I can’t fight. I keep holding on too tight. Running away from the world outside.”
No.129: Evans Blue – Warrior
“And I am a warrior, not the victim of your pain. I speak for the curious, infected by your ways. And we stand. I stand before you at the foot of my own grave and speak truth. I’m not the warrior for you! Am I supposed to change? Am I the only one who feels this way? Will I find peace again, or face the end in love with emptiness?”

“Your heart is pulling me. The cut runs deeper as it flows. Scars that cannot heal. The hurt is covered to the bone. ‘Cause every time, it gets so complicated. While I’m lying down in doubt, I’ll just tell myself I’m leaving here. ‘Cause I’m selfish and I’m cold.”
No.134: Seether Featuring Amy Lee – Broken
“I wanted you to know, I love the way you laugh. I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away. I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well. I wanna hold you high and steal your pain. ‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open. And I don’t feel like I am strong enough. ‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome. And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away.”
No.135: Halestorm Featuring James Michael of Sixx: A.M. – Private Parts
“Every time I try to get a little closer. You shut down and the conversation’s over. I’m right here, but you leave me in the dark. Show me your private parts. Give it up baby, what are you afraid of?
Love sucks when you don’t know what it’s made of. We get naked but I can’t undress your heart. Show me your private parts, show me your private parts. They say that silence is gold, but I think that’s a lie. You think I already know, but I can’t read your mind. Baby forgive me did I do something wrong?”
No.136: Linkin Park – Leave Out All The Rest
“I’ve taken my beating. I’ve shared what I’ve made. I’m strong on the surface. Not all the way through. I’ve never been perfect, But neither have you. So, if you’re asking me, I want you to know. When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done. Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed. And don’t resent me, and when you’re feeling empty. Keep me in your memory. Leave out all the rest.”
No.137: Any Given Sin – Cold Bones
“You were the warmth, you’re the spring to my fall. But now sets a cold wind that covers it all. I try to move but my body won’t budge. From these cold, cold bones. Can I hold on without you my friend? I always thought that you and I would ride until the end. I have cold, cold bones. Cold, cold bones.”
No.138: James Blunt – Monsters
“I’m not your son, you’re not my father. We’re just two grown men saying goodbye. No need to forgive, no need to forget. I know your mistakes and you know mine. And while you’re sleeping I’ll try to make you proud. So, daddy, won’t you just close your eyes? Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn. To chase the monsters away.”
No.139: We Three – Heaven’s Not Too Far
“As death rattles my cage. I can hear their voices fading. Each breath getting harder. I can hear the tears coming from my daughter. And to her older brother, he’s thinking back when he was younger. When he had a healthy mother. Who asked him to take care of his little brother.”
No.140: From Ashes To New – My Name
“How the rules were written, how the story really goes. ‘Everyone’s your friend, give everyone a chance.’ So everyone pretends that they really give a damn. Man, fuck that, nothing’s ever what it seems. People stepping over people, people preying on the weak. ‘Cause it’s business and we’re feeding the machine. Time is money, money’s living, so we live with the disease. What happened to the magic? What happened to the thrill? What happened to the passion, the way we used to feel? All we see is fashion, fame, and dollar bills. And now I’m looking back, I wish the world I saw was real.”
No.141: Apocalpytica featuring Brent Smith or Doug Robb – Not Strong Enough
“And it’s killin’ me when you’re away. And I wanna leave and I wanna stay. I’m so confused, so hard to choose. Between the pleasure and the pain. And I know it’s wrong, and I know it’s right. Even if I try to win the fight. My heart would overrule my mind. And I’m not strong enough to stay away.”
No.142: Savage Garden – Two Beds and a Coffee Machine
“And there are children to think of. Baby’s asleep in the back seat. Wonder how they’ll ever make it. Through this living nightmare. But the mind is an amazing thing. Full of candy dreams and new toys. And another cheap hotel. Two beds and a coffee machine.”
No.143: The Fray – How To Save A Life
“Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend. Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night. Had I known how to save a life.”
No.144: Simon & Garfunkel – Homeward Bound
“Home where my thought’s escapin’. Home where my music’s playin’. Home where my love lies waitin’. Silently for me. Every day’s an endless stream. Of cigarettes and magazines. And each town looks the same to me. The movies and the factories, and every stranger’s face I see, reminds me that I long to be. Homeward bound.”
No.145: Richard Marx – Right Here Waiting
“I took for granted, all the times. That I thought would last somehow. I hear the laughter, I taste the tears. But I can’t get near you now. Oh, can’t you see it, baby. You’ve got me going crazy. Wherever you go, whatever you do. I will be right here waiting for you.”
No.146: Percy Sledge – When a Man Loves a Woman
“When a man loves a woman. Spend his very last dime. Trying to hold on to what he needs. He’d give up all his comfort. Sleep out in the rain. If she said that’s the way it ought to be. Well, this man loves a woman. I gave you everything I had. Trying to hold on to your high-class love. Baby, ooh, please, don’t treat me bad.”
No.147: Celine Dion – Because You Loved Me
“You gave me wings and made me fly. You touched my hand, I could touch the sky. I lost my faith, you gave it back to me. You said no star was out of reach. You stood by me and I stood tall. I had your love, I had it all. I’m grateful for each day you gave me. Maybe I don’t know that much, but I know this much is true. I was blessed because I was loved by you.”
No.148: Phil Collins – Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)
“How can you just walk away from me? When all I can do is watch you leave. ‘Cos we’ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears. You’re the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now, oh there’s just an empty space. And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me. Just the memory of your face. Ooh, take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space. And you coming back to me is against the odds. And that’s what I’ve got to face”
No.149: Elton John – Candle In The Wind 1997
“Loveliness we’ve lost. These empty days without your smile. This torch, we’ll always carry. For our nation’s golden child. And even though we try. The truth brings us to tears. All our words cannot express. The joy you brought us through the years.”
