Songs for a sad heart - selections from the current playlist.

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Oh no, I see,
I spun a web, it's tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I said,
Oh no what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
I turned to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
O no, I never meant to do you harm

Cent choses à faire
Dix mille à entreprendre
Ce choix doit se faire
Quelle direction prendre
Vivre dans cette ville
Ou sur des terres plus grandes
Celles de mes ancêtres
Qui ne cessent de m'attendre

Je cherche le sérum du bonheur
Ma main ne peut le saisir

Mark my point of failing. It began where I gave in.
Comfort. Convenience. Placating.
Construed to suck me in, to their trap.
I need a good kick in the ass.
As time passed I realized we don't need rules to survive.
Just common sense and means to subsist.

Culpa que me segues sem eu querer
Jura que me deixas decidir

Aceitas ou não que nunca é tarde,
aceitas ou não que voltarei

Se calhar, se calhar
amanhã há-de haver mais, mas eu não se;
Se calhar, devagar
Vou voltar à mágoa que desei

I reached for sleep and drew it round me like a blanket muffling pain and thought together in the merciful dark.

Good night.
