Gary Moore - Empty Rooms : The former Thin Lizzy guitarist has a few good soft rock tracks such as Still Got The Blues and also Parisienne Walkways, but this song certainly as a personal touch for me. Well, that was when i was still single. A song that simply anyone who has a broken heart can cry along with.<br />2. Metallica - Nothing Else Matters : I really feel this song was well worked out with the string components that accompanied the song. The atmosphere of the song was upped by a few notches because of that. Never have a metal band made a slow song sound so good.<br />3. Guns N' Roses - November Rain : I can't deny it. I still remember every bit of the video clip to this song. Looking for the bride, the desert, everything in fact. This used to be the song that i hummed to while on the way to school during my formative years. Axl Rose would certainly have a hard time trying to get a hit song of the same type from Chinese Democracy.<br />4. Aerosmith - I Don't Wannt To Miss A Thing : I give up trying to avoid this song. This song was such a hit during my lower secondary school days. It simply hit off so well with that Armageddon movie. I still remember that Bruce Willis character sacrificing himself for his daughter's happiness. And certainly, this song was 'Tyler' made, pardon the pun, for Steven Tyler<br />5. Def Leppard - Two Steps Behind : I will have to admit this. This is the only song i'm totally familiar with by Def Leppard. Tha speaks volumes as i never like their other songs. and their chorus is a straight success for commercial purposes. Were they Hair?<br />6. Duran Duran - Ordinary World : Hmmm, they might not fall in this category, but this song is always in my soft rock playlist. Glam they might be, but they do have a few hits. Yes..purple big hair...shucks...<br />7. Europe - Carrie : They have always been known generally for their over-played hit Final Countdown. This might be a draggy song, but was still their hit.<br />8. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven : This was the first song i ever listened to by them. Though it's a tad too long, the build up was just right. It really elevates slowly. Jimmy Paige simply made this song his own. Check out their live versions of the song, it sounds much better.<br />9. Eagles - Hotel California : A ghastly song about that haunted hotel. Somehow or another, i always feel this song has a reggae touch to it. The drums, guitar and bass, just seems a bit more rock steady.<br />10. Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - The Temple of The King : This song, even my dad listens to it. A true classic. Though the song is actually medieval and light. But DIO's husky syrupy voice made it sounds hard rock...L'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-46285373728332139602008-12-08T11:34:00.001+08:002008-12-08T11:35:34.800+08:00Hanya Sekadar Satu RenunganTak perlu mencari teman secantik Balqis<br />Jika diri tidak sehebat & seindah Sulayman<br /><br />Mengapa mengharap teman setampan Yusof<br />Jika kasih tidak setulus Zulaikha<br /><br />Tidak perlu diri menjadi seteguh Ibrahim<br />Jika tidak sekuat Sarah<br /><br />Mengapa didamba teman hidup seistimewa Khadijah<br />Jika diri tidak sesempurna Rasulullah SAWL'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-53686616917717324032008-12-03T21:42:00.000+08:002008-12-03T21:43:20.727+08:0010 Alternative Songs That Shaped Me During SchoolK peeps..this might sound crazy..but i don't care...i just wanna get this off my chest...this is MY CHOICES & OPINIONS...the rest of u...feel free to join n share with me ur views...seriously...BTW...all listed below are Alternative at its best..care to share with me yours?<br />1. Radiohead - Creep : This song was a hit in the early 90's, a truly sad song. And for me, it really hits home. "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.."<br />2. Fuel - Hemorrhage (In My Hands) : Another sad classic. This is so far, the only song by Fuel that I listen to. After Voodoo Music Festival 2007, the lead singer was kicked out of the band as he could not sing this song 'live' during that festival. Shucks.<br />3. Foo Fighters - Best Of You : A totally colourful break-up song. Dave Grohl have always had his ways of living out of his Nirvana shadow.<br />4. Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know (Acoustic Version) : Alanis Morissette has always been a phenomenal female vocalist. Her soulful vocals on this acoustic version of the song has made this as my No. 1 Break-Up Song of All Time.<br />5. Oasis - Stand By Me : Tell me, who could have never come across this working class heroes? They were the ones who made many bands look so sluggish at that time l. As for this song, it was an instant classic right when it was played on air.<br />6. Green Day - Hitchin' A Ride : For me, this was their best song song, with a crazy MTV clip to tag along. Green Day at their best.<br />7. Cake - I Will Survive : This has been the best remake of the song so far. The Best Cover Song for me. The lazy vocals was what made the song sound even better.<br />8. No Doubt - Just A Girl :The propellers of the 3rd wave of SKA. Tragic Kingdom is one of my favourite albums. And when they decided to go Rock Steady many years later, it was pure genius.<br />9. Vertical Horizon - The Best I've Ever Had : I always loved this song more the You're A God. another break-up song.<br />10. Pearl Jam - Even Flow : Their 1st album Ten was a classic. So many good tracks recorded eg Alive, Once, Jeremy etc. But this was the song that catapulted them to the mainstream with 'The Seattle Sound'. I have always considered them to be better than Nirvana. Opps...Actually, I wanted to key in Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit as well...but...no thanks...hahahL'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-38408166374582129802008-11-26T20:18:00.000+08:002008-11-26T20:19:38.886+08:0010 Rock Anthem!!!K peeps..this might sound crazy..but i don't care...i just wanna get this off my chest...this is MY CHOICES & OPINIONS...the rest of u...feel free to join n share with me ur views...seriously...BTW...all listed below are Rock Anthem Classics...When you peeps listen to these songs, just turn on the volume to LOUDEST...and here are my TOP 10<br />1. Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane : Okay, here's one song which even my sister likes (well, for someone who listens to Junction and all those weepy Malay bands). A stadium rock song. Scorpions were not really known for their fast paced songs. But here is one that really stands out.<br />2. Queen - We Will Rock You : Okay , i chose this song, as even my 2 years old niece sings that phrase. Queen has been one of the best rock bands in mainstream pop. Freddie Mercury, in my opinion, has been one of the best 'live' vocalists around.<br />3. Rainbow - Long Live Rock 'n' Roll : It's got to be DIO!!! All Ritchie Blackmore had to do was inform DIO he has a 'rock n' roll' in mind, and POOF!!!! This song has been a revelation.<br />4. Black Sabbath - Paranoid : The history of this song? Well, the Sabs had a few spare minutes to go for the completion of their 2nd LP, and this song was the result of that few minutes. Awesome, to say the least. This is the song that made the Sabs a mainstream metal pioneer.<br />5. Led Zeppelin - Rock and Roll : I remember Mathilda Da'Silva singing this song on Singapore Idol. She blew me away. The studio recording of this song has never been replicated by even Robert Plant himself on their live sets. A terrific song from one of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal's most well-known band.<br />6. The Blizzard of Ozz - Crazy Train : Ozzy mentioned during one of his live sets after singing this song. "Now, that's what Rock n' Roll's about!!!" I have always have a soft spot for the drum and guitar intro to this song.<br />7. Yngwie Malmsteen - You Don't Remember, I'll Never Forget : Hmm, i'm not sure if this song fits into this Rock Anthem category, but this was a choice i could not avoid. A perfect break-up song.<br />8. Deep Purple - Burn : David Coverdale and Glen Hughes were like fighting for the microphone to see who could scream louder. This was a torrid time for Deep Purple, tho they were still able to churn out hits after the exit of Ian Gillan. This song was one it.<br />9. DIO - Rainbow In The Dark : This song explains on how we should always look forward. Finding the Rainbow in the Dark is our greatest challenge. It does not mean if we're facing adversities, we can never find a way out.<br />10. Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine : Yes, the masters of 80s rock. I grew up with this song, and i admit, Sheryl Crow could not sing as good as Axl Rose. The intro to this song has made many pick up and learn to play the guitar.L'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-11342627401174672102008-11-16T22:44:00.000+08:002008-11-16T22:52:34.137+08:0010 Hard Rock/Metal Songs That Shook My WorldK peeps..this might sound crazy..but i don't care...i just wanna get this off my chest...this is MY CHOICES & OPINIONS...the rest of u...feel free to join n share with me ur views...seriously...<br />1. Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons : Their longest ever single track recorded. This bunch of technically gifted experts made this song more than what is was supposed to be. The technical parts are second to none. I was totally blown off the first time i heard it, as i have always thought long songs are generally a bore. And yes, they can play the exact same sound for their live show as well. Personally, this song made me think, how everyone can just change their minds. "Seasons change, and so can I", and the guy was left all alone with his son by his horrible wife. What more to say?<br />2. Rainbow - Stargazer : The first time i heard this song on the radio, i was taken aback. How could a song made me feel i was in the medieval times??? Well, the story of the stargazer with wizards and towers of flesh and bones facinated me. I always have this interest in medieval themes.<br />3. The Blizzard of Ozz - Mr. Crowley : This was supposed to be Ozzy's band, but he decided he wanted a solo career after that. Haha, total madness from The Prince of Darkness. Randy Rhoads was with him for his first two albums and the guitar solos blew me away. Diary of a Madman & Crazy Train became instant classics. But this has to be my favourite. It is not that i love anything that has got to do with the occult, but writing a song for Aleister Crowley is INSANE!!! That guy seemed pretty nutz. The keyboard intro and guitar solo really made up the atmosphere of this song.<br />4. Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force - I Am A Viking : The shredder cuts n chops the song so well. Enough said. Haha, Jeff Scott Soto's vocals can never be rivalled (except for DIO). One of my all time favourties by the shredder.<br />5. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell : Actually, i wanted to choose Neon Knights, but this was their HIT. And yes, this DIO-fronted song certainly made me think. The forces of evil and good co-exist, kind of like Batman and The Joker, they simply can't live without the other.<br />6. Rage Against the Machine - Darkness : Sorry peeps, yes they had lotsa hits like Guerilla Radio and Bulls on Parade. I chose this song, as it was an outstanding track. Listen to the two different type of guitar solos by Tom Morello and you'll certainly understand what i mean. And of course, its' a political song!!!! Mr. Obama, hopefully you understood this band's rage. That is why you are promoting CHANGE. Oops, sorry, i love what Mr. Obama is trying to do to the US, it is revolutionary.<br />7. Metallica - Fade to Black : Yazeit my bro, this was not a soft rock song for me, i love how noisy certain parts of the song are. Yes, this has been an amazing track, if ever any funeral was allowed to play a song dedicated to death, this would be it.<br />8. DIO - Don't Talk to Strangers : Well, historically, this song was a 'dedication' to Black Sabbath after DIO was unceremoniously kicked out of the band. The lyrics seems to teach us a lesson or two, if not more. Never trust someone too much, unless of course they are your loved ones.<br />9. System of a Down - Temper : You people might argue that this was never an official release. But i love the arabic tunes in the verse. It is a 'dance-to-the-tune' kinda song, yet political. Spot on.<br />10. Search - Meniti Titian Usang : This band has been a revelation for the Malay rock music scene. And yes, for me, they have always been bigger than Wings. This song is a perfect remedy to people who appreciate their friends.L'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-9200656457119808532008-11-11T23:28:00.001+08:002008-11-11T23:28:21.813+08:00Best Soft Rock/Metal TracksK peeps..this might sound crazy..but i don't care...i just wanna get this off my chest...this is MY CHOICES & OPINIONS...the rest of u...feel free to join n share with me ur views...seriously...<br />10 Best Soft Rock/Metal Tracks<br />1. Steelheart - She's gone : Well...what can i say? This was a CLASSIC!!! Some might consider them Hair..but for me..this song was so touching..i mean..is still touching..this is the song if ever my girl leaves me...<br />2. Bad Company - If You Needed Somebody : Well, this was the last song Abstruce played together (my Abg's band lar)...so this was a natural choice..another sad song..something like 98 Degrees' Invincible Man...<br />3. Mr. Big - Just Take My Heart : Not sure if Yazeit agrees with me on this...yes...Mr Big had lotsa hits..To Be With You and Wild World comes into mind..But for me..this was THE SONG..can you imagine any guy singing 'just take my heart when you go'...ain't that abit tipsy?<br />4. Dokken - Alone Again : Knightwings (yah...that local band that has a crazy guitarist and a singer who is like a Bruce Dickinson wannabe) covered it in malay on Anugerah Band. Well...this is another...sad song...being left by his woman...are all soft rock songs sad and involves our loved ones?<br />5. Scorpions - When The Smoke Is Going Down : i have absolutely no idea what the song is about..but i just love this song more than Still Loving You...Holiday and In Trance...<br />6. Iron Maiden - Children of The Damned : Haha..allow me to laugh this out...yes..i picked Iron Maiden's track here...yes...i love this song..especially the cover done by Dream Theater...more soulful...<br />7. Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune : What can i say...even my Dad and uncles listen to this classic..my Dad sings it even...David Coverdale at his Best...<br />8. Rainbow - Catch The Rainbow : Okay...this was a tough call..Rainbow had so many soft rock hits eg. The Temple of The King...I Surrender..Street of Dreams...Rainbow Eyes...but this was a track which DIO made his own...u guys should check out the live version he sang in 1996..the live album 'The Last In Live'..which he did a medley with Mistreated.<br />9. Dream Theater - One Last Time : Yes..another tough choice for me as DT had a few soft rock hits like Hollow Years...but this being a personal favourite..i had to be bias..haha..listen to the piano works...<br />10. Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan : Yes...the Godfathers of metal..i love the percussions on the song..and though Pantera covered this song..it didn't quite come off the way Ozzy did it..L'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-32228143288248195042008-11-08T21:45:00.000+08:002008-11-08T21:46:07.316+08:00Best Hard Rock/MetalK peeps..this might sound crazy..but i don't care...i just wanna get this off my chest...this is MY CHOICES & OPINIONS...the rest of u...feel free to join n share with me ur views...seriously...<br />Best 10 Hard Rock/Metal Artist<br />1. Black Sabbath - Be it Ozzy or DIO fronting the band...they have always pulled it off...a whole lot of songs that are in the best song category...<br />2. Rainbow - k...another band with many line-ups and frontman changes...i always loved that DIO era...<br />3. DIO - well...if any of U out there has his anthology collection..i'm certain that is not enough..cos i have that...and i believe it could do with a few more songs...<br />4. Rage Against the Machine - if u people know me well enough..this was an obvious choice..i grew up listening to them...and the anger they showcased..was something i always wished i could have done the same as well...<br />5. Dream Theater - yes...they are the masters of progression...and yes...the tempo changes and all those nicely arranged songs with lotsa patterns are what makes them unique...<br />6. System of a Down - well-documented to be the 'heavier & noisier' version of Rage Against the Machine...and i've got absolutely no complaints about that...<br />7. Search - huh? who? haha..they are Malaysians peeps...yes surprise..haha..can't believe i added in a Malay band? now u got 1...i always compare them with Wings..and certainly...they seem to have more hits..<br />8. Nightwish - just the name alone you'll understand why i love this band...and FYI...the drummer took a 'dare' challenge in which he was supposed to drink a cup full of urine...and he promtply finished that...erks...<br />9. Stratovarius - k seriously i like this band alot...because of Jens Johanssen..this ex-Malmsteen keyboardist has found a new platform to showcase his keyboard wizardry..ala Kevin Moore & Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater keyboardists) plus Jordan Rudess (the Current Dream Theater keyboardist)<br />10. Ozzy Osbourne - well...the mad man never seems to lose it even when it seems the world is falling on him...but alas...he kicked-off his solo career with a bangL'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-82461140869527209752008-11-07T10:37:00.001+08:002008-11-07T10:39:51.697+08:00The Candle Part IVThe candle melts away...Does anyone notice that?<br />He keeps having to think about others' needs that he needs to provide...<br />But does anyone ever thought of his needs as well?<br />Why?

Especially the people they mix around with..or sum other crappy stuffs such as their practices to be proud of? Does it mean we are absolutely pious when we mix around with the Great Religious Teacher’s group? i certainly think not.<br />Here’s my take, yes, ur practices are what U WILL BRING to the grave upon ur death…but it doesnt have to be a ’show-off’ kinda practice aint it? what’s the point of doing that, risking urself to pollute ur faith…for some, from mixing with the best in this line, they will tend to not mix around with those who are religiously-declined. what the heck? aint WE supposed to spread the teachings and beliefs to those who need guidance? y NEGLECT this niche market? if we dun guide them, then who will?<br />With all due regards, i aint trying to be a Robin Hood here…all i wan is to make my stand clear, yes, evry1 has their own methods of practices wen it cums to religion. Yes, we are encouraged to mix around with the Ulama’s, but apart from that, we shld also do our part to help shed sum light to those who have been ignorant as well isnt it? This doesnt only comes within Islam, im pretty sure all religions encourages this, NOT TO NEGLECT THE IGNORANT BEHIND, unless of course they wish not to be disturbed…<br />Well, religion has always been a way of life, a perfect guide to maintain and control our lifestyles….L'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-961607512235442232008-09-15T21:56:00.000+08:002008-09-15T21:57:22.069+08:00It’s Hard…Ahh…It’s Hard…Well, hi peeps, welcome to my latest installment….yes…long overdue….

Aint we supposed to be guiding others within our means…rather than just letting go the person n let the person rot…<br /><br />I went to work with an uneasy mind today..so I asked around…of cos..there were finally rationale ppl out there…with the exception of 1….the rest were just like….y judge a book by its cover…<br /><br />my collected responses today were<br />‘u marry tt sume1 bcos she is a good person or u marry tt sum1 bcos of her tudung?’<br />‘wearing a tudung doesn’t make one a good person, but a good person will Insya’allah wear a tudung sumday’<br />‘actually the ustzh has a pt there, but u shld nt throw her away, instead u shld advise her, let her noe the true meaning of mearing a tudung’<br />‘dats bloody nonsense, itu jenis ustzh yg keras…yg penting isi hati.., as u noe nowadays ladies wear tudung as a kind of trend..mostly not sincere…sum listen to parents..reluctantly following the pointed fingers….but tudung is not the issue..budi pekerti..sopan santun…berbahasa…hormat org tua etc…’<br />‘ask her to fly kite…it depends on individuals…main thing is ur heart…even if she wears tudung can do sumtg evil rite? Dia ikut darah muda…not all yg bertudung alim org nye…’<br />‘tudung or not…does not make up the lady as a whole…tudung does not mean holy…no tudung does not mean no morals…’<br />‘tts ustzh shld nt discriminate like tt…it only actuali enhances her narrow-mindedness & her lack of ability in understanding a true muslim heart…’<br />‘to each his own…but she shldnt use such a stern stand on kids..kids shld learn with an open mindset’<br /><br />So yah…in my own true opinion over this matter…yes…it may be worng of the grl not to wear tudung…and if she does wear and snap pics of her not having tt head gear…its totally wrong as well…but tt doesn’t mean we have to let tt person rot to hell…tts crappy aint it…wats the point of not helping..if we help…me wite get merits as well…I wonder….<br /><br /><br />Pls reply to me peeps....L'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-81927534605851731812008-04-10T22:10:00.000+08:002008-04-10T22:12:07.403+08:00Tak Bisa Lagi MenyayangimuLantunan kidung cinta mengalun sedih<br />Terlintas saat dulu kau sudahi aku<br />Bagai langit runtuh hancurnya jiwaku<br />Terhimpit kelutnya kepedihan batinku<br /><br />Mengapa sekarang kau inginkan ku lagi<br />Agar kau toleh luka yang kedua kali<br />Tak mungkin kubisa lagi menyayangmu<br />Sementara sakitnya masih membayangi<br /><br />Tiada puaskah kau campakkan diriku<br />Luluhkan segala makna sucinya hadirku<br />Bagai langit runtuh hancurnya jiwaku<br />Terhimpit kelutnya kepedihan batinku<br /><br />Bukan ku tak bisa maafkan dirimu<br />Namun hatiku tlah tertutup untukmu<br />Hindari lagumuL'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-24660860662815864652008-02-19T22:41:00.002+08:002008-02-19T22:47:45.074+08:00Haizz...humans...being humans..hie peeps...yesterday...someone got a direct tongue lashing frm me and i noe she deserves it. how cld she possibly say i made dat kid's mental status dropped wen i scolded dat kid in front of d others, and yet she did the same to me...scolding me in front of the kids?

Senyum itu tanda kemesraan, diberikepada manusia dianggap sedekah. Ketawa itu lambang kelalaian. Selalu dilakukan hati akan mati. Dibuat di hadapan manusia menghilangkan maruah diri.<br />2. Setiap kesalahan yang dilakukan jadikanlah pengajaran, insaflah ini tanda kelemahan diri, kesalilah keterlanjuran itu dan berazamlah tidak mengulanginya lagi.<br />3. Syukur nikmat dan sabar di dalam ujian amat mudah diucapkan tetapi amat sulit dilaksanakan.<br />4. Kesenangan dan kemewahan selalunya membawa kepada kesombongan dan kelalaian. Kesusahan dan penderitaan itu, selalunya membawa kekecewaan dan putus asa, kecuali orang yang mukmin.<br />5. Di antara tanda-tanda orang-orang yang sombong itu cepat melahirkan sifat marah, suka memotong percakapan orang,suka bermujadalah yakni bertegang leher,nampak di mukanya rasa tidak senang jika ada orang yang lebih darinya di satu majlis, bercakap meninggikan suara,pantang ditegur, tidak ada tanda-tanda kesal di atas kesalahan.<br />6. Orang yang sudah hilang sifat marah(dayus), cepat melahirkan sifat marah(lemah mujahadah). Orang yang ada sifat marah tapi dapat disembunyikan kecuali di tempat-tempat yang munasabah inilah manusia normal.<br />7. Tahu diri kita hamba itu adalah ilmu,merasa diri kita itu hamba itu penghayatan, yang kedua inilah akan lahir sifat tawaduk, malu, khusyuk,takut, hina dan lain-lain lagi sifat kehambaan.<br />8. Jika kita mengingati dosa, kita tidak nampak lagi kebaikan kita, apatah lagi untuk dibanggakan.<br />9. Lahirkan kemesraan kita sesama manusia kerana itu adalah haknya tapi jangan putus hati kita dengan ALLAH, ini adalah hakNYA pula.<br />10. Apabila rasa senang dengan pujian,rasa sakit dengan kehinaan menunjukkan kita ada kepentingan peribadi, tanda kita tidak ikhlas membuat sesuatu kebaikan.L'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-73737802528948006892007-07-20T23:45:00.000+08:002007-07-20T23:51:29.318+08:00HiatusMy long hiatus has been the period in which i was simply doing some soul-searching...why lie to others when we are plain friends...not special friends even...why try too hard when i don't even want to...why speed up and risk loosing this freindship of ours..to those relevant parties...yes that's in PLURAL...it's great to leave me alone...L'Arc-en-Cielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274103950963653961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770204974169492297.post-34946612329014793632007-06-09T13:06:00.001+08:002007-06-09T13:08:44.607+08:00Better Than MeI think you can do much better than me<br />After all the lies that I made you believe<br />Guilt kicks in and I start to see<br />The edge of the bed<br />Where your nightgown used to be<br />I told myself I won't miss you<br />But I remembered<br />What it feels like beside you<br />I really miss your hair in my face<br />And the way your innocence tastes<br />And I think you should know this<br />You deserve much better than me<br /><br />While looking through your old box of notes<br />I found those pictures I took<br />That you were looking for<br />If there's one memory I don't want to lose<br />That time at the mall<br />You and me in the dressing room<br />I told myself I won't miss you<br />But I remembered<br />What it feels like beside you<br />I really miss your hair in my face<br />And the way your innocence tastes<br />And I think you should know this<br />You deserve much better than me<br /><br />The bed I'm lying in is getting colder<br />Wish I never would've said it's over<br />And I can't pretend...
