im listening to mariah now. it just striked me again that almost all her songs are "martyr anthems." ask me why, because they were my anthems for the longest time. i remember listening to her songs before, when i was so heart broken, and i cant help but smile. her songs are really okay listening to it now, but then it was like "wham, she got it! thats how i am feeling..." i was told before that love songs make real sense when your heart broken... yes, i guess they do based on personal experience...hahaha! while some songs are full of hatred and angst, mariah's are full of hope. maybe it is an anthem for the hoping... the eternal lover!
all i ever wanted: if you were my own... to caress and hold... i would shower you with love... and then the chorus goes:
everything fades away: so hard for me to let you go... leave me standing in the door... oh baby give me one more chance.. i know that we can make em last... just let me love you one more time... coz i dont wanna lose my mind... so had for me to let you go... so hard for me to let you go...
*after tonight: After tonight... Will you remember... How sweet and tenderly... You reached for me... And pulled me closer... After you go... Will you return to love me... After tonight begins to fade...
vulnerability: i should have know... that you.. right from the start... that you.... going to break.. knowing that i was... so vulnerable...
*against all odd: So take a look at me now... Oh there's just an empty space... And there's nothing left here to remind me... Just the memory of your face.... Take a look at me now... 'Cause there's just an empty space... And you coming back to me is against all odds... And that's what I've got to face
*crybaby: Late at night like a littie child... Wandering around alone in my new friend's home... On my tippy toes... So that he won't know... I still cry baby... Over you and me..
*petals: Still I wish that you and I'd.... Forgive each other... 'Cause I miss you, Valentine... And really loved you... I really loved you ... I tried so hard.. But you drove me away... To preserve my sanity.
*rainbow: I know there is a rainbow... For me to follow... To get beyond my sorrow... Thunder precedes the sunlight... So l'll be alright... lf I can find that... Rainbow's end.
*one sweet day: Darling, I never showed you... Assumed you'd always be there... I took your presence for granted... But I always cared... And I miss the love we shared...
*when you believe: They don't always happen when you ask... And it's easy to give in to your fear... But when you're blinded by your pain... Can't see your way safe through the rain... Thought of a still resilient voice... Says love is very near.
*thank god i found you: I would give up everything... Before I'd separate myself from you... After so much suffering... I finally found unvarnished truth... I was all by myself for the longest time... So cold inside... And the hurt from the heartache... Would not subside... I felt like dying... Until you saved my life.
through the rain: i can make it through the rain... i can stand up onces again.. on my own... and i know... that i am strong enough to mend... and everytime i feel afraid... ill hold tighter to my faith... and ill live one more day... and ill make it through the rain...
