The rest is still unwritten

If there's a song to remind me to be spontaneous, to embrace every moment of every day as very precious this would be Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. Somehow as we grow older, we learn to be cautious to protect ourselves from hurt. Nothing wrong with being cautious and having plans, but sometimes, i feel like i really need to take a detour and smell the roses and just be nicely surprised. So enjoy,folks

"These Words"

i don't know why i identify so much of natasha's songs. she has a habit of expressing beautifully my feelings...


"These Words"

by natasha bedingfield

These words are my own

Threw some chords together
The combination D-E-F
It's who I am, it's what I do
And I was gonna lay it down for you
Try to focus my attention
But I feel so A-D-D
I need some help, some inspiration
(But it's not coming easily)
Whoah oh!

Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know?
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There's no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you...

Read some Byron, Shelly and Keats
Recited it over a Hip-Hop beat
I'm having trouble saying what I mean
With dead poets and drum machines
I know I had some studio time booked
But I couldn't find a killer hook
Now you've gone & raised the bar right up
Nothing I write is ever good enough

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There's no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you!

I'm getting off my stage
The curtains pull away
No hyperbole to hide behind
My naked soul exposes
Whoah.. oh.. oh.. oh.. Whoah.. oh..

Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

That's all I got to say,
Can't think of a better way,
And that's all I've got to say,
I love you, is that okay?

i bruise easily

Sometimes, we can be so insensitive to our actions that we rarely think about how it affects others. We only become aware of it, when we are hurt also by the words and deeds of others most often close to us. That's the way it goes, we are seldom hurt by the actions of those who are not important or close to us. It's a different thing, altogether with our love ones. A single unkind word or act from them leaves us hurting, or at least me. And what i feel during those times are best described by Natasha Bedingfield in this song:


"I Bruise Easily" by natasha bedingfield

My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I cant hide the marks
Its not a negative thing
So I let down my guard
Drop my defences down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface
Without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily

I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine too
But if I never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So im learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

[Chorus]

Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you

So be gentle...

[Chorus]

I bruise easily
I bruise easily
