Creep, by Radiohead (written lyric vulgarity warning).
Over the years, I found out what some people had been saying about me, behind my back. Many years after this song came out, I heard this song for the
first time and I cried... same thing. I often still do.
If anyone understands or likes sign language, on youtube, Amber Galloway Gallegos did what I felt was an amazing ASL (American Sign Language)
interpretation of Creep. However, youtube has since removed the audio.
Even without audio, her interpretation moves me.

Regrets, by The Fabulous Krush.
I try to be kind and not hurt others. A lot of my regrets are from when I didn't make time to spend with others and now they are gone. I always feel
I could've tried harder. My parents are elderly and I try to keep them from getting hurt (physically) i.e. catch them before they hit the ground,
making sure mom holds my arm or has something to grab onto, etc. The times I'm too late... regrets.
And then regrets for the times I wish I had been more thoughtful of others.
I didn't find lyrics online, so I did my best to write them out here; there might be a couple of errors.
I wish that I could take back
All of the things I've done to hurt you.
I didn't mean to be so cruel.
That I know that I've been selfish
And at times a jealous fool.
And every thoughtless thing that I've done,
Keeps coming back to haunt me
Because you take each one to heart.
And as I realize that it's my fault
We've grown worlds apart.
I have...
Regrets, regrets.
For my mistakes
And thinking only of myself.
'Cause all that I have left are these
Regrets. Regrets.
For the things I've did that someone.
Just can't forgive.
I guess I'll aways have to live with these
Regrets.
If I could right the wrong that I've done,
Maybe I could start believing.
There's so much I'm guilty of.
But, it's too late to say I'm sorry.
It's being sorry is not enough.
'Cause with angry word that I've said,
Your love for me was dying.
Each word left a lasting scar.
And I've never felt so helpless,
Wishing I could change the way things are.
I have...
Regrets. Regrets.
For my mistakes
And thinking only of myself.
'Cause all that I have left are these
Regrets. Regrets.
For the things I've did that someone.
Just can't forgive.
I guess I'll aways have to live with these
Regrets. Regrets.
For my mistakes
And thinking only of myself.
'Cause all that I have left are these
Regrets. Regrets.
For the things I've did that someone.
Just can't forgive.
I guess I'll aways have to live with these
Regrets.

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
Jeff Buckley
Dream Brother
There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
And your kiss on the lips of another
Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
Nobody ever came
Nobody ever...
I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Ah do you meet the one I love
And smell the one who loves you
Dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
Dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
