Songs
First heard this song performed by Gabriel and Victoria when I was recording with the music interactive club from SMU. It's been one of the songs i kinda really enjoy listening to really often. The MIC version that is.
The song speaks about how lovers are sometimes what the other person needs to be comforted by. Though sometimes, love is obstructed because people are holding back, afraid to let down their guard; afraid to be hurt again.
Hence "This..could be good, it's already better than that but nothings worse than knowing you're holding back"
In all sense..this song speaks about how important it is to trust the person you love. If you're going to keep your guard up, never admitting your true feelings, all your sadness and happiness you will block someone who really matters out.
Like Dad used to say "People write songs about their feelings, when they are sad they write sad songs, when they're in love; they write love songs."
We're all terrified of being hurt...and that's a fact. Its whether we can get over the fear. Sometimes if it means putting ourselves lower than the other, or if it means saying sorry or just understanding what the other person has to go through. Thus be one of the greatest mysteries of life.
Terrified - Katherine McPhee
You, by the lightIs the greatest findIn a world full of wrongYou're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonelyTo the other side
You said it again, my heart's in motionEvery word feels like a shooting starI'm at the edge of my emotionsWatching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in loveAnd I'm terrifiedFor the first time and the last timeIn my only life
And this could be goodIt's already better than thatAnd nothing's worseThan knowing you're holding back
I could be all that you needIf you let me try
You said it again, my heart's in motionEvery word feels like a shooting starI'm at the edge of my emotionsWatching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in loveAnd I'm terrifiedFor the first time and the last timeIn my only
I only said it 'cause I mean itI only mean 'cause it's trueSo don't you doubt what I've been dreaming'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you
You said it again, my heart's in motionEvery word feels like a shooting starI'm at the edge of my emotionsWatching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in loveAnd I'm terrifiedFor the first time and the last timeIn my only
Life...
