Death Came and Got Me

As you all have probably figured out, I am a big fan of lyrics.  I find it interesting that certain lyrics strike me differently pending on what's going on in my life.  Currently I'm in a major holding pattern, and it's killing me.  But, there is nothing I can do but wait.  However, part of me wishes I could just leave the majority of this behind me and start over.  I know that isn't possible, and I will have to deal with the results, no matter what they may be.

Here are some lyrics I heard on my way home this afternoon.  Although I relate to most of the lyrics, there are three lines that I relate to very well.

Death Came And Got Me 

By Rosie Thomas

I can't, I can't stop crying
Everyday I’m so afraid
Afraid of dying
Death already came and got me
Cause I’m not living...
I'm not living anyway...

And who am i supposed to be?
Everybody seems to see except for me
Who cares anyway....
Cause when it's over,
It's all over, and what you gain you throw away

When will love ever find me?
All my life all I’ve craved is to be seen
Who cares anyway...
Cause when it's over,
All that matters is the love you gave away

Stand Back Up

"Stand Back Up" by Sugarland

Go ahead and take your best shot, 
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got, 
I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before, 
I may stumble, yeah I might fall, 
Only human aren't we all? 
I might lose my way, but hear me when i say, 

I will stand back up, 
Youll know just the moment when ive have enough, 
Sometimes im afraid, and i don't feel that tough, 
But I'll stand back up, 

I've been beaten up and bruised, 
I've been kicked right off my shoes, 
Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe, 
When the darkness tries to get me, 
There's a light that just wont let me, 
It might take my pride, and my tears may fill my eyes, 
But I'll stand back up, 

I've weathered all these stroms, 
But i just turn them into wind, so i can fly, 
What don't kill you makes you stronger, 
When I take my last breath, 
That's when I'll just give up, 

So, go ahead to take your best shot, 
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got, 
You might win this round but you can't keep me down, 

'Cause I'll stand back up, 
And you'll know just the moment when ive had enough, 
Sometimes im afraid and I don't feel that tough, 
But I'll stand back up, 

Youll know just the moment when ive had enough, 
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough, 
But I'll stand back up.
