I originally had this set as "My Writings" page, for stuff I write when I think people need to read what I'm thinking -- but that's what "Ashley Rants" is for... stupid me. Anywho, I've turned this into where I put all the lyrics to songs that I'm feeling.... check it out, download the song, feel my vibe.

Crossfade - So Far Away

I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
(I've been changin' but you'll never see me now)
Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more holding it in
How many years can I pretend
Nothing never goes the way it should
No more sitting in this place
Hoping you might see it my way
Cause I don't think you ever understood
That what I'm looking for are the answers
To why these questions never go away

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more waiting for the end
Of every day that I will spend
Wishing that I only had a choice
No more pushing you away
Cause I will be busy watching things going my way
Never looking back on this anymore
Because what I'm looking for are the answers
To why these questions never go away


I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
Now I'm blaming you for everything

I'm so far away

Hey hey watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way
Hey hey I've been saved
With sun shining on my pain
Getting me through this day
Hey hey watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way
Feels so good to say

Now I'm blaming you

I'm so far away

Fantasia Barrino - This Is Me

I'm still tryna make it out
Cause i'm still just another girl from the ghetto
There's so much in my life
I break down cause i'm so deep in the struggle
(there isn't sun in rain. there ain't joy in pain.)
Thought i found my way out then i'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood

I'm just a girl tryna make a way (ohhhohhh)
It gets so hard but i'll be ok (be ok)
I don't really care what the people say
Cause this is me
A mother, a daughter (daughter), a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I'm every woman cause i gotta be
And god put me through it
Cause he know i can do it
Cause this is me yeah

Southern girl with city dreams
Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol' dollars
Bustin' tables while i'm tryna sing
Hope i hit it big so i can send for my daughter
(there isn't sun in rain. there ain't joy in pain.)
Thought i found my way out then i'm back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood

No one really knows the whole truth
(the whole truth about me)
And no one's had to live in my life
(then they would know it ain't easy)
Made my share of mistakes
That's alright
Cause i'm not gone be afraid no more
Cause this is me
And i won't hide who i am

Toni Braxton - Just Be A Man About It
 
Why are you calling me on the phone
Why you not at home on time
You say you're staying over your Friends
'Cuz you got a lot on your mind
Now you're swearing up and down that
It ain't me
Still you say that things have changed
So tell me what exactly does it mean
When you say you need your space

Just don't make no excuses, no no
Why you gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it
Baby, you don't gotta lie to me, no
Just be a man about it
If you wanna leave go on
Just be a man about it
Come and grab your things and go on
Right now
Just be a man about it

You say right now that you're not
What I'm looking for
And what you really need is time to Grow
You're promising that one day you may
Come around
And I'm supposed to let that go
But where the hell do you get off
Telling me your mama said
I'm not what you need
Tell you what, since she knows it all
Then that's where you need to be

Just don't make no excuses, no no
Why you gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it
Baby, you don't gotta lie to me, no
Just be a man about it
If you wanna leave go on
Just be a man about it
Come and grab your things and go on
Right now
Just be a man about it

Can you tell me how you can
Say you're in love and then
Treat me so bad
Boy, you know it just ain't right
I cannot believe the way you handled Things
You want to lie

Just don't make no excuses, no no
Why you gotta lie to me
Just be a man about it
Baby, you don't gotta lie to me, no
Just be a man about it
If you wanna leave go on
Just be a man about it
Come and grab your things and go on
Right now
Just be a man about it

Alicia Keys - Goodbye
How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had
 
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good
 
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
 
I know now I was naïve
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is
 
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good
 
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
 
Is this the end are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known
 
So how do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye

Boys II Men - Doin' Fine

There was a time when I thought life was over and out
When you went away from me
My dying heart made it hard to breathe
Would sit in my room
Because I didn’t want to have to go out
And see you walking by
One look and I’d break right down and cry
Now you say that you’ve made a big mistake
Never meant to take your love away
But you can save your tired apologies
’cause it may seem hard to believe
But

I’m doin’ just fine
Getting along very well
Without you in my life
I don’t need you in my life
I’m doin’ just fine
Time made me stronger
You’re no longer on my mind

You were my earth
My number one priority
I gave me love to only you
Anything you’d ask of me
I would do
But somewhere down the road
You felt a change in the weather
And told me that you had to journey on
A kiss in the wind and your love was gone
Now you say you never meant to play your games
Girl, don’t you know it’s far too late
Because you let our love just fall apart
You no longer have a heart

When you said goodbye
I felt so all alone
There were times at night I couldn’t sleep
My heart was much to weak to make it on my own
Baby after all the misery
And pain you put me through
So unfair to me girl
You’re no longer my world
And I ain’t missin’ you at all

Queen Latifah - Paper

Ooh, I betca' wondering how I knew
That you been tryin' to infiltrate my crew
It ain't no hiding from the Flava U.
Don't get it confused, you ain't untouchable
(Go 'head and do it)
And while I been tryin' to keep my cool like a queen
(Ooh, like a queen)
Without them bringin' the naughty girl outta me
(Ooh, naughty girl outta me)

2 - Don't cha know I heard you tryin' to take mine
While I shine, you're living fake lives
Don't ya know I heard you tryin' to take mine
But while I shine ya lip and fake y'all styles
All around me
(Hata's tryin' to play La'
but they know that they can't take her paper)
Go 'head and do it

Everybody talking see
Spreadin' them lies about my friends and me
They say that we're tighter than suppose to get
That's because I haven't let ya chill wit me yet
You make it hard for a girl to roll
(Ooh, girl to roll)
But make it easy so my pockets stay swol'
(ooh, pockets stay swol')

[Queen Latifah]
As I look back on my life (check it)
To get where I am I had to sacrifice
You slammed my name in your magazine
This business gets hard tryin' to stay a queen
You're checkin' for me, you need to check yourself
(Ooh, check yourself)
And be someone, not someone else
(Ooh, someone else)

Usher & Alicia Keys - My Boo

There's always that one person

People screaming your name

In awhile but you will always be my boo

You will always be my boo

Christina Aguilera - Impossible

It's impossible
It's impossible to love you
If you don't let me know what you're feeling
It's impossible for me to give you what you need
If you're always hidin' from me   I don't know what hurt you
I just, I wanna make it right
Cos boy I'm sick and tired of trying to read your mind  

It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible for me to love you
It's the way it is
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible
If you makin' it this way  

Impossible to make it easy
If you always tryin' to make it so damn hard
How can I, how can I give you all my love, baby
If you're always, always puttin' up your guard  

This is not a circus
Don't you play me for a clown
How long can emotions keep on goin' up and down  

Mary J. Blige - No More Drama
Broken heart again
Another lesson learned
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burned
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine
(I'll be fine)
No more pain
(no more pain)
No more pain
(no more pain)
No drama
No more drama in my life
(no more in my life)
No one's gonna make me hurt again

Why'd I play the fool
Go through ups and downs
Knowing all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But that was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more

Oh, it feels so good
When you let go
Of all the drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
(free from all the pain)
Free from all the games
(free from all the games)
Free from all the stress
(free from all the stress)
To find your happiness...
I dont know...
Only God knows where the story ends
For me
But I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whether we win or lose
And I choose to win
 

Mary J. Blige - Not Gon' Cry
 
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time
cuz you're not worth my tears
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time,
cuz you're not worth my tears
