Perfect

Made a wrong turn once or twice. Dug my way out, blood and fire. Bad decisions, that's alright.  Welcome to my silly life.  

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood! Miss "No way,It's all good", it didn't slow me down. Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated! Look, I'm still around...

Pretty pretty please! Don't you ever ever feel Like you're less than, less than perfect.
 
Pretty pretty please... If you ever ever feel like you're nothing you are perfect to me.

You're so mean when you talk about yourself, you were wrong.  Change the voices in your head. Make them like you instead.

So complicated, look how we all make it!  

Filled with so much hatred... such a tired game. It's enough! I've done all I can think of Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same.

Oh, pretty pretty please. Don't you ever ever feel like you're less than, less than perfect.  Pretty pretty please.. If you ever ever feel like you're nothing you are perfect to me .

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear. The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer.  So cool in line, and we try try try.  But we try too hard and it's a waste of my time.

Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere. They dont like my jeans, they don't get my hair. Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time. 

Why do we do that? Why do I do that? Why do I do that?

You are perfect, you're perfect! Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing. You are perfect to me.

break even

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing,
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in,
'Coz I got time while she got freedom,
'Coz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even.

Her best days will be some of my worst,
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first,
While I'm wide awake, she's no trouble sleeping,
'Coz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even, even no.

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Coz she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks
no it don't break even, even no.

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love
while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces,
(Cuz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even)

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain,
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh.
'Coz you left me with no love, with no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing,
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in,
'Coz I got time while she got freedom,
'Coz when a heart breaks
no it don't break, no it don't
break, no it don't break even no.

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces,
(One still in love
while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces,
(Cuz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even)

Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, It don't break even, no

Song to Listen and See (1)

Musik buat saya satu hal yang tidak pernah bisa dipisahkan dari kehidupan. Dosa besar tuh kalau ada yang berani mencoba membuat musik hilang dari dunia hihihi lebay. Biarin ah. Tapi benar saya benar-benar belajar banyak dari musik dan segala hal tentangnya. memang sih saya sering telat tau kalau lagu itu bagus. Biasanya sih kalau udah ada pengamen yang bawain. Nah itu biasanya berlaku buat lagu-lagunya GIGI (Hihihi punten nya kang Armand). Sering saya baru ngeh kalau lagunya oke setelah mendengarkan versi pengamen. Mungkin karena bener-bener fokus buat dengerin. Beda kalau saya mendengarkannya sambil siaran. Tapi beda banget dengan lagu-lagunya Katy Perry. Penyanyi yang makin seneng buka-bukaan tapi gak setuju ML sebelum merit ini, lagu-lagunya justru saya nikmatin setelah dibawakan dengan cara yang berbeda oleh penyanyi lain.

Misalnya saja Teenage Dream nya. Saya baru "Ngeh" dengan liriknya yang kuat banget setelah denger versinya Boyce Avenue. Dalam banget liriknya. Begitu juga dengan lagu Firework nya. Oke lah selain denger versi Boyce mulailah saya cari klip nya. Dan.... ternyata emang oke banget lagunya. KEREN. Dalam banget.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
 So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Coba deh, siapa kira lagu ini bener-benar asyik buat dinikmatin syair dan musiknya? Two tumbs Up.


Tapi coba nikmati juga versinya Boyce dengan liriknya yang agak sedikit beda. Lagu yang bener-bener dalem.

Bener-bener lagu yang asyik buat menyemangati di saat kegalauan melanda.

If you only knew what the future holds. After a hurricane comes a rainbow Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed. So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road.
Don’t let them to take your life for granted. you’re the only one who needs to rule your world. When life leaves you feel empty-handed. Lie low and show ‘em what you’re worth.

Moving on

mungkin pernah ku menangis
mungkin diriku pernah tersakiti
namun diriku kini kembali
coba nikmati indahnya dunia
tiada lagi bayangan dirimu
yang selalu mencoba menahanku

bersama mentari ku bernyanyi
mewarnai hari-hari
bersama pelangi ku menari
menyambut bebasnya hati ini
tiada lagi yang mampu menghalangi
aku takkan berhenti melangkah
'cause i'm moving on

mungkin pernah ku menangis
mungkin diriku pernah tersakiti
(namun diriku kini kembali)
coba nikmati indahnya dunia
tiada lagi bayangan dirimu
yang selalu mencoba menahanku

ku percaya nanti kan ada saatnya
cinta kan datang padaku lagi
bersama mentari ku bernyanyi
mewarnai hari-hari
bersama pelangi ku menari
menyambut bebasnya hati ini


Letting Go is NOT a sign of my weakness, but a sign that I'm strong enough to move on

Separated

If love was a bird
Then we wouldn't have wings
If love was a sky
We'd be blue
If love was a choir
You and I could never sing
Cause love isn't for me and you

If love was an Oscar
You and I could never win
Cause we can never act out our parts
If love is the Bible
Then we are lost in sin
Because its not in our hearts

So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated

If love was a fire
Then we have lost the spark
Love never felt so cold
If love was a light
Then we're lost in the dark
Left with no one to hold

If love was a sport
We're not on the same team
You and I are destined to lose
If love was an ocean
Then we are just a stream
Cause love isn't for me and you

So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated

Boy I know we had some good times
It's sad but now we gotta say goodbye
Boy you know I love you, I can't deny
I can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I
I know it hurts so much but it's best for us
Somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust
So I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry
It's killing me so, why don't you go

So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated

If I Can Dream

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand

Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
The doubt and fear

If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
We're lost in a cloud

With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man

Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer, answer's gonna come somehow

Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream

Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

You Belong With me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walking the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know baby that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

Open Your Heart

I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want don't try to resist me

Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, I wonder why
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, I've got something to say
Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key

Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to

Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

Open your heart with the key

Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key

The Break Up

The Break Up - Andre Harihandoyo

the clock is ticking without waiting
leaving you behind with your broken wings
you just packed your bags
the taxi waiting
all you left behind is real
mr.taximan take me away somewhere that i can put you out of my head my heart my soul
and burn this feeling go

but save my good memories
save, i'm begging please

should take some time off
put on my DVD
cook some meal just let it flow
get in my hot tub with my ciggar, babe
all i'm trying to do is to forget about you

Sesal

indah pada waktunya
ya...hanya kalimat itu yg selalu aku katakan jika sesuatu tak berjalan sebagaimana mestinya.
menghibur diri.
ya, hanya itu yang bisa kulakukan.
karena ku tau aku tak punya kuasa.
tak pernah kucoba melihat ke belakang dan menyesali apapun dalam hidupku.
hidup harus terus berlanjut..
tapi, entah setan apa yg kini bersemayam.
kusesali jalan yg sudah kuambil.
aku tak lg bisa maju, krn langkahku terlalu berat.
namun untuk berbalikpun tak mungkin.
tak ada siapapun disana.
kali ini, sesalpun datang.
kali ini, aku benar2 ingin pulang.
kali ini, untuk pertamakalinya aku ingin memakiMu.
namun sungguh aku tak mampu.
kali ini, tak ingin aku ada waktu.

Show Me Back To Your Heart

I remember days and nights were never cold
Had you in my life, I had you there to hold
And I remember love warm as a summer day

But I lost you
And I lost my way
Now I'm in the rain
Begging you please, please

Baby, won't you show me the way back to your heart
Let me see a sign to know if I'm close or far
Lead me back to the road
That leads back to your arms

Every night another lonely street
I walk down alone
Searching for a light
Your light to lead me home

Leave a candle in the window
And let it shine for me
Take my hand and take these tears away
I can't take the pain
I'm on my knees begging you please

Take my hand
Take me in your arms
I'm out in the dark
Down on my knees, begging you please
