by monty powell and keith urban:
Well I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride
Let it fall like rain, from my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry.
Quite a lot of what passes itself off as a dialogue about our society consists of people trying to justify their own choices as the only right or natural ones by denouncing others’ as selfish or pathological or wrong.

She held me and kissed me and had the strangest, saddest look I've ever seen in her eyes. She ran her hands over my ribs in a caress that was passionate and demanding, but then touched me with her lips in a way that was cold and distracted. It felt as though she was far away, and only her hands were really present, really telling the truth.

Walling yourself off inside yourself and hiding behind a bowling shirt and buzzcut doesn't make you butch.

I could feel the scream rising up in my throat, and I knew I couldn't bite my own tongue to hold it in. I bit her instead -- hard.

It didn't help eradicate the urge to scream, but it did help me fight down the urge.

I pull my boots off, throw my weapons on the floor/Cry my eyes out, in my private little war/Well it seems I've been a soldier/ Heaven knows I've been no saint/In my camouflage and armor, cold heart and grease paint/To you this has no meaning the Armistice laid down/ The armies are all quiet and the guns don't make a sound
'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire/Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire/And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
