Taylor Swift - Mine
You were in college working part time waiting tablesLeft a small town, never looked backI was a flight risk with a fear of fallingWondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say can you believe it?As we're lying on the couchThe moment I could see itYes, yes, I can see it now
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?You put your arm around me for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world togetherAnd there's a drawer of my things at your placeYou learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guardedYou say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to payWe got nothing figured outWhen it was hard to takeYes, yes, this is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?You put your arm around me for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?You saw me start to believe for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.As everything was slipping right out of our handsI ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye'Cause that's all I've ever knownThen you took me by surpriseYou said I'll never leave you alone
You said I remember how we felt sitting by the waterAnd every time I look at you, it's like the first timeI fell in love with a careless man's careful daughterShe is the best thing that's ever been mine
Hold on, make it lastHold on, never turn backYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?We're gonna make it nowI can see itI can see it now

Florence + The Machine - Shake it out
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake him off
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but its left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn
Oh woah, oh woah...
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

a pile of sadness
Apakabar mas?
Kapan terakhir kali kita bertemu mas? Terakhir kali kuingat sepertinya kamu lebih kurus. Apakah kamu sudah wisuda sekarang? Apakah setelah lulus kamu akan pergi ke daerah-daerah terpencil dan mengerjakan proyek di sana? Apakah kamu masih suka berpetualang, memanjat gunung dan menyelam?
Mas,
Apakah kamu masih suka bernyanyi di pagi hari? Apakah kamu masih suka bermain futsal? Apakah kamu masih menggemari k-pop? Apakah kamu masih mengikuti komik One Piece favoritmu? Apakah tas laptop eiger yang kuberikan sebagai ulang tahunmu dulu masih kamu simpan? Apakah kamu pernah memakainya?
Mas,
kudengar kamu telah menemukan gadis dambaanmu. Apakah dia menerima lamaranmu? Apakah kamu bercerita tentang keinginanmu untuk berbulan madu di atas gunung, sama seperti saat dulu kamu masih bersamaku? Ataukah, kamu punya rencana lain bersamanya? Apakah kamu masih berhasrat untuk mengunjungi Jepang dan Inggris?
Mas,
Bolehkah aku sedikit membayangkan masa depanmu? Akhirnya kamu akan menikahi gadis pujaanmu itu. Dia gadis yang sempurna bukan? Tidak sepertiku. Kamu akan memiliki anak perempuan yang lucu seperti afika darinya. Apakah kamu akan menamainya Hana Zafira? Aku juga suka nama itu. Sungguh keluarga yang bahagia. Apakah sekarang kamu bahagia mas?
Mas,
Apakah kamu masih mengingatku?"
Entah sejak kapan aku mulai menulis surat untuknya, tanpa nama dan tanpa alamat. Sengaja surat itu tak pernah aku kirimkan. Isi surat itu selalu sama, tentang pertanyaan-pertanyaan, meskipun aku rasa aku tahu apa jawabannya. Aku sedikit berharap, dengan terus-menerus bertanya aku akan mendapatkan jawaban yang berbeda. Atau mungkin juga, aku terlalu takut untuk mengetahui kenyataan dan semua jawaban darinya. Kulipat secarik kertas itu dan kumasukkan ke dalam amplop. Kusimpan hati-hati dalam sebuah kotak khusus, bergabung bersama dengan puluhan surat lainnya dan kesedihan didalamnya.

Suatu saat nanti
Suatu saat nanti, akan datang padamu seseorang yang menyukai senyummu.
Suatu saat nanti, akan datang padamu seseorang yang jatuh cinta pada tawamu.
Suatu saat nanti, akan datang padamu seseorang yang senang mendengar suaramu.
Suatu saat nanti, akan datang padamu seseorang yang memandang wajahmu seakan kau lah ciptaan Tuhan paling indah.
Suatu saat nanti, akan datang padamu seseorang yang rela berbagi hidupnya denganmu.
Dialah orang yang akan mencintaimu. Seseorang yang telah Tuhan ciptakan khusus untukmu, hanya untukmu.
Karena itu, bersabarlah.
Karena dia akan datang, untukmu. Ya, dia akan datang untukmu.
Suatu saat nanti.

Maroon 5 - Payphone
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more f*cking love song I'll be sick
You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before
But all of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more f*cking love song I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone...
[Wiz Khalifa]
Man work that sh*t
I'll be out spending all this money while you sitting round
Wondering why it wasn't you who came up from nothing
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunning
And all of my cars start with the push up a button
Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever you call it
Switched the number to my phone
So you never could call it
Don't need my name on my show
You can tell it I'm ballin'
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could've saw
But sad to say it's over for
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now ask me who they want
So you can go and take that little piece of sh*t with you
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more f*cking love song I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone...
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember

It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more f*cking love song I'll be sick
You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
