Words that aren't just words

As my last post was a list, I thought I could continue in the same spirit. Many times I've thought that what makes music move me, are the lyrics. It doesn't even have to be the entire song but even one single line can make me love a certain song. Here I have gathered ten English songs that I find extraordinarily beautiful, brutally honest, filled with pure emotion or just simply right.

1. It's not always rainbows and butterflies

    It's compromise that moves us along

    Maroon 5 - She will be loved

2. Keane - Somewhere only we know

3. I loved you with a fire red,
    Now it's turning blue

    Timbaland ft. One Republic - Apologize 

4. One Republic - Come home

5. Should this be the last thing I see
    I want you to know it's enough for me
    'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

    Ed Sheeran - Tenerife sea

6. Let it go, let it go
   And I'll rise like the break of dawn
   Let it go, let it go
   That perfect girl is gone

   Idina Menzel - Let it go

7. Snow Patrol - Chasing cars

8. I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, 

    feel my tears as they dry 

    Sia - Chandelier

9. I want you 
    We can bring it on the floor
    You've never danced like this before
    We don't talk about it

    Milky Chance- Stolen dance

 

10. Snow Patrol - Run
