Like Toy Soldier - Eminem

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down...

[Chorus]
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

[Verse 1]
I'm supposed to be the soldier
who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of
the whole world on my shoulders
I am never supposed to show it,
my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with
a Benzino it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can't handle unless
I absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
It was crazy, this shit way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it
That was never my object for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' ...
Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth
And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about
Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef
So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
While he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man
who literally saved my life
Like fuck it i understand this is business
And this shit just isn't none of my business
But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cuz

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme
And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'
But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?
It's a different ball game, callin' names
and you ain't just rappin'
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him
Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how he stabbed him
Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it
Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions
Some receptionist at The Source
who answers phones at his desk
Has an erection for me and thinks
that I'll be his ressurection
Tries to blow the dust off
his mic and make a new record
But now he's fucked the game up
cuz one of the ways I came up
Was through that publication
the same one that made me famous
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'
Well fuck it, that motherfucker
can get it too, fuck him then
But I'm so busy being pissed off
I don't stop to think
That we just inherited 50's
beef with Murder Inc.
And he's inherited mine which is fine
ain't like either of us mind
We still have soldiers that's on the front line
That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
To show them we love 'em back
and let 'em know how important it is
To have Runion Avenue Soldiers up in our corners
Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered
It ain't worth it I can't think
of a perfecter way to word it
Then to just say that
I love ya'll too much to see the virdict
I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further
But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man
If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws well then I can,
Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone elses
coffin rest on my conscience cuz

[Chorus]

Stay - Lisa Loeb

You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.
And I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah yeah, I missed you.
And you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.
So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
lover's in love, and the other's run away,
lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.
Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
Well, well, this is not that;
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.
And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.
You try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.
You said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I miss you.
You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go."
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just
scared to lose.
And you say, "Stay."
And you say I only hear what I want to.

In My Place

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for you

If you go, if you go
Leaving me here on my own
Well I wait for you

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

Please, please, please
Come on and sing to me
To me, me

Come on and sing it out, out, out
Come on and sing it now, now, now
Come on and sing it

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
Oh yeah

Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
COULD IT BE WORSE?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

I Finally Found Someone

I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin

This time it's different, dah dah dah dah
It's all because of you, dah dah dah dah
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it through
Oohh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say to take my breath away

(Chorus)
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
'Cause whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone, ooh, someone
I finally found someone, oooh

Did I keep you waiting, I didn't mind
I apologize, baby, that's fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
And I love your hair, sure it looks fine
I love what you wear, isn't it the time?
You're exceptional, I can't wait for the rest of my life

(Repeat Chorus)

Whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

Fixing A Broken Heart

There was nothing to say, the day she left,
Just filled the suitcase full of regrets.
I hailed a taxi in the rain,
Looking for some place to ease the pain.
Then like an answered prayer,
I turned around and found you there.

Chorus:
You really know where to start,
Fixing my broken heart.
You really know what to do,
Your emotional tools,
Can cure any fool,
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart.

Now I don't understand, what I'm going through.
There must be a plan, that led me to you,
Because the hurt just disappears,
In every moment that you are near.
Just like an answered prayer,
You make the loneliness easy to bear.

You really know where to start,
Fixing my broken heart.
You really know what to do,
Your emotional tools,
Can cure any fool,
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart.

Soon the rain will stop falling baby,
And I'll forget the past,
Cause here we are at last.

Chorus(slightly different):

You really know where to start,
Fixing a broken heart. <-- this line the "a" is "my" is prev. chorus
You really know what to do,
Your emotional tools,
Can cure any fool,
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart.

For you to remember - Leon Haines Band

Help me through the night
Won't believe that it's over
Need sometime to protect myself
The pain, drives me mad
Since you're out of sight
All my tryin' leads me nowhere
'Cause my mind still reflectin' all the dreams that we've had

I sing my song each day
For you to remember
For you to remember
I will always be here

I sing my tears away
If it's spring or September
Just for you to remember
That I still need you here

Help me through the night
Won't believe that it's over
Need sometime to protect myself
The pain, drives me mad
Since you're out of sight
All my tryin' leads me nowhere
'Cause my mind still reflectin' all the dreams that we've shared

I sing my song each day (I wont believe that it's over)
For you to remember (All my tryin' leads me nowhere)
For you to remember
I will always be here (Just for you my love)

I sing my tears away (Since you're out of sight)
If it's spring or September (All my tryin' leads me nowhere)
Just for you to remember (Let me sing to remember)
That I still need you here

I sing my song each day (Won't believe that it's over)
For you to remember (I sing my tears away)
For you to remember
I will always be here

I sing my tears away (Since you're out of sight)
If it's spring or September (All my tryin' leads me nowhere)
Just for you to remember (I sing my tears away)
That I still need you here (Just for you to remembaa ... )

I sing my song each day
For you to remember
For you to remember
I will always be here

Nothing's Gonna Change My love For You

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young
And we both know they'll take us
Where we want to go

(Chorus 1)
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

(Chorus 2)
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

(Chorus 3)
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too

(Repeat Chorus 1)

(Repeat Chorus 2)

(Repeat Chorus 3)

(Repeat Chorus 2) (twice)

(Repeat Chorus 3)

(Repeat Chorus 2)
