Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
If you were meant to be together
Then you would know that it's right
After all this time, you'd be by his side
And if it were meant to be forever
You'd still be living in that dream
So it seems
So for all the times you cried
And the many times he lied
I'll tell you 'cause I know
You can make it on your own
So your heart belongs to you now
And you know that it's right
Free from that make-believe love story
In your mind (in your mind, in your mind)
Feel so much better off, leaving yesterday behind
But always (remember), always (remember)
Hold on to life
So for all of your regrets
That your poor heart won't let you forget
(Won't let you forget)
I can tell you 'cause I know
You can make it on your own
You'll be wiser in the morning
So much stronger when the sun rises
So don't find your fear alarming
Your pain will disappear by nightfall
When then rain comes the pain goes
Washing away
The remains of a battered soul
(Trouble won't) trouble won't last always
Believe me, there'll be brighter days
So for all the times you cried (every single tear)
For every single time you tried
I know 'cause I know 'cause I know
You can make it on your own, yeah, yeah
You can make it on your own
(Yeah, yeah)
You can make it on your own
'Cause I know, 'cause I know
Yeah, yeah
You can make it on your own
Hear what I say, yeah, yeah
Then you would know that it's right
After all this time, you'd be by his side
And if it were meant to be forever
You'd still be living in that dream
So it seems
So for all the times you cried
And the many times he lied
I'll tell you 'cause I know
You can make it on your own
So your heart belongs to you now
And you know that it's right
Free from that make-believe love story
In your mind (in your mind, in your mind)
Feel so much better off, leaving yesterday behind
But always (remember), always (remember)
Hold on to life
So for all of your regrets
That your poor heart won't let you forget
(Won't let you forget)
I can tell you 'cause I know
You can make it on your own
You'll be wiser in the morning
So much stronger when the sun rises
So don't find your fear alarming
Your pain will disappear by nightfall
When then rain comes the pain goes
Washing away
The remains of a battered soul
(Trouble won't) trouble won't last always
Believe me, there'll be brighter days
So for all the times you cried (every single tear)
For every single time you tried
I know 'cause I know 'cause I know
You can make it on your own, yeah, yeah
You can make it on your own
(Yeah, yeah)
You can make it on your own
'Cause I know, 'cause I know
Yeah, yeah
You can make it on your own
Hear what I say, yeah, yeah

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
SingingOutLoud_"So for all the time u cried...(Every Single Tears),every single time you tried...,I know..coz I know,coz I know....U can make it On Your Own
