yet again, today I loved you
Spun Sugar by Beth Waters

I don’t wanna tell you I love you
and watch you wither away, wither away
like a wildflower I picked and it died in an hour
like it knew I stole its freedom
and it’d rather die than live that way

I almost told you I loved you this morning over coffee
but I caught myself
I caught myself
cause if I told you I loved you you might
melt away on my tongue like spun sugar
and disappear

but I don’t want things to change
why can’t they stay the same
don’t wanna clip your wings
those words are heavy things
don’t want it to fade
this lovely thing we’ve made

wait
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
watched you sleep

the world is not your oyster
it’s a coffee shop
and you’re sitting there
trying not to stare
you’re pretending to read your book
but really you’re just watching all the people
it’s a spectacle and you’re there
to catch the air
to catch the air

but I don’t want things to change
why can’t they stay the same
I don’t wanna clip your wings
those words are heavy things
don’t want it to fade
this lovely thing we’ve made

wait
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
watched you sleep
watched you sleep

Keeper of the Intimacy of Aerith's soul living in Cloud
Meatloaf:Two out of 3 ain't bad.
(This song is perfect...with a little well placed truncation.)

Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But thatll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldnt make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
Im tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout
But youve been cold to me so long
Im crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But -- there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad

Youll never find your gold on a sandy beach
Youll never drill for oil on a city street
I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there aint no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box

I cant lie
I cant tell you that Im something Im not
No matter how I try
Ill never be able
To give you something
Something that I just havent got

Theres only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know Ill never get her out of my heart
------------------
Truncated to keep it appropriate
------------------
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
Dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere

A Girl Can Dream by Mandy Moore

When I was a child, the story would say
Somebody would sweep
you off your feet someday.
That's what I hoped would
happen with you,
more then you could know.
I wanted to
tell you, that my heart's in your hands.
I prayed for
the day that I would get the chance,
'N just when I
worked up, the courage to try.
Much to my surprise,
you had somebody else, yeah yeah.
'Cos these
feelings, I keep to myself.

I may never get to hold
you so tight,
I may never get to kiss you goodnight,
I
may never get to look deep in your eyes,
or so it seems.
I always will be wishing you were mine,
I think about
what could be all the time,
all the happiness that I could
find.
Baby...a girl can dream.

From the moment I
wake up, 'til I fall asleep,
I imagine you not with
her, but with me.
Talking and laughing, sharing our
dreams,
it's just a fantasy, 'cos you had
somebody else,
'cos these feelings I keep to
myself.

I may never get to hold you so tight,
I
may never get to kiss you goodnight,
I may never get to
look deep in your eyes,
or so it seems.
I always will
be wishing you were mine,
I think about what could be all
the time,
all the happiness that I could find.
Baby...a girl can dream.

A girl can
dream...it's true,
and to call you my own,
it's the sweetest dream known.

I may never get
to hold you so tight,
I may never get to kiss you
goodnight,
I may never get to look deep in your eyes,
or so it seems.
I always will be wishing you were
mine,
I think about what could be all the time,
all
the happiness that I could find.
Baby...a girl can
dream.

Ohh, a girl can dream.
(Hmmmm)

Counting Crows - Time and Time Again

I wanted so badly Somebody other than me
Staring back at me But you were gone
I wanted to see you walking backwards
And get the sensation of you coming home
I wanted to see you walking away from me
Without the sensation of you leaving me alone

CHORUS:
Time and time again Time and time again
Time and time again I can't please myself

I wanted the ocean to cover over me
I wanna sink slowly without getting wet
Maybe someday, I won't be so lonely
And I'll walk on water every chance I get

(CHORUS)

So when are you coming home Sweet angel?
You leaving me alone? All alone?
Well if I'm drowning darling, you'll come down this way on your own

I wish I was traveling on a freeway
Beneath this graveyard western sky
I'm gonna set fire to this city
And out into the desert we're gonna ride

On My Own from Les Miserables (beautiful song :sad: )

And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend
without a face to say hello to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me

In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm lonely
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him...
But only on my own...

Cleris fans make me happy!
I used this song because I think it reveals what Tifa wants to be, and how Cloud doesn't return her feelings, and how she wants to start over with him. I also think it reveals her jealous feelings toward Aerith, a bit. I don't like Tifa, but I kinda sympathize with her here...

Feel So by Boxcar Racers

Sometimes
I wish I was brave
I wish I was stronger
I wish I could feel no pain
I wish I was young
I wish I was shy
I wish I was honest
I wish I was you not I

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

Sometimes
I wish I was smart
I wish I made cures for
How people are
I wish I had power
I wish I could lead
I wish I could change the world
For you and me

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, again
I feel so cheap
So used, unfaithful
Let's start over
Let's start over

Here is a song that I think fits Emo!Tifa perfectly, although I'd very much like for her to move on. She deserves much better than an unrequited love. (Not to mention that there are so MANY FF7 guys who can be paired with her! I have soft spot for ReTi and ZeTi, myself :D)

I'm Not That Girl
from Wicked: The Musical

Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl:

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl

(OT: This song can also describe my lovelife in general.... :lol: )

let us be lovers.
I posted this a long time ago as it's own topic but I think this is a good Tifa anthem. It kinda sounds like a conversation between Tifa and Aeris. (Tifa speaking, naturally.)

"Butterflies" by the Wrights

You don't have to say your sorry
You did nothing wrong
You're just following your heart honey
To right where you belong
Oh you go on and take him


I'm holding out for butterflies
Endless nights, shootin' stars, summer skies
Walking around after midnight
Love and kisses in the pale moonlight
Butterflies

There was a time when it was easy
To think of it as love

But there's someone else who needs me
Someone else I'm dreaming of
Oh you go on and take him

I'm holding out for butterflies
Endless nights, shootin' stars, summer skies
Walking around after midnight
Love and kisses in the pale moonlight
Butterflies

You go on, it's what you want
You go on, it's what you want
You go on and take him

I'm holding out for butterflies
Endless nights, shootin' stars, summer skies
Walking around after midnight
Love and kisses in the pale moonlight
Butterflies

Endless nights, shootin' stars, summer skies
Walking around after midnight
Love and kisses in the pale moonlight
Butterflies

I'm holding out

When There Was Me and You by Vanessa Anne Hudgens

It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care

I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
Thats coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
And once upon a song

Now I know you're not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Because I liked the view
When there was me and you

I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind

Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you

A song for when/if Tifa finally gets over Cloud, from the musical, "Avenue Q"

There's a Fine Fine Line
There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

I believe that this might be one. Everytime I listen to this song it reminds me of Cloud and Tifa when they were young and making that promise. Then it reminds me of the Nibelheim incident (I believe that I spelled that right).

When You Were Young
The Killers


You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

I think this is another perfect Tifa Anthem: girl powwwah!

Samantha Mumba- Gotta Tell You

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Your love for me came as a waterfall
Flowin' inside me like never before
Your love for me, somethin' I didn't see
But baby, I know better now

When you walk in the room that very night
A special feelin' just burst inside
It was only you, nobody else
But baby, I know better now

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And now you're back inside my house again
I'm tryin' deeper to explain
'Cause baby, I wanna get it on
And baby, you're the one for me

But now that I have got you all alone
After all this talkin' on the phone
I should be strong, there's nothing wrong
I'll tell you this is where you belong, where you
belong

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight

It was just something in your eyes
That made me realize
But now I hear voices deep inside
Tellin' me, tellin' me

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight

"Little House"

She doesn't look, she doesn't see
Opens up for nobody
Figures out, she figures out
Narrow line, she can't decide
Everything short of suicide
Never hurts, nearly works

Something is scratching
Its way out
Something you want
To forget about

A part of you that'll never show
You're the only one that'll ever know
Take it back when it all began
Take your time, would you understand
What it's all about?
What it's all about?

Something is scratching
Its way out
Something you want
To forget about

No one expects
You to get up
All on your own with
No one around

Rilo Kiley - You Are What You Love

This is no great illusion
when I'm with you I'm looking for a ghost
or invisible reasons to fall out of love
or run screaming from our home

'cause we live in a house of mirrors
we see our fears and everything's our songs, faces, and second-hand clothes
but more and more we're suffering, not nobody, not a thousand beers
will keep us from feeling so all alone

but you are what you love
and not what loves you back
that's why I'm here on your doorstep
pleading for you to take me back

and the phone is a fine invention
it allows me to talk endlessly to you
about nothing disguising my intentions
which I'm afraid my friend are wildly untrue
it's a sleight of hand, a white soul band,
the heart attacks I'm convinced I have
every morning upon waking
to you I'm a symbol or a monument
your right of passage to fulfillment
but I'm not yours for the taking

but you are what you love
and not what loves you back
so I guess that's why you keep on
calling me back

I'm fraudulent, a thief at best,
a coward who paints a bullshit canvas
things that will never happen to me
and at arm's length, it's Tim who said
I'm good at it, I've mastered it
avoiding, avoiding everything

but you are what you love Tim
not what loves you back
and I'm in love with illusions so saw me in half
I'm in love with tricks
so pull another rabbit out of your hat

I think this song fits Tifa on how she feels about Cloud in AC. It's not exactly the type that says "I'm not her" lyrics that everyone else seems to post. This song says Tifa's feelings towards Cloud on how he misses Aerith and she can't do anything about it. I find the lyrics really powerful...except that one line in the second verse. :lol:

All I can Do
By Chantel Kreviazuk

When you're on your own
When you're at a fork in the road
You don't know which way to go
There's too many signs and arrows
You haven't laughed in a while
When you can't even fake a smile
When you feel ashamed
The uniform don't make you brave

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do (x3)

When you forget your name
and the pleasure can't disguise your pain
and you don't feel the same
I won't forget the love you made

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do (x3)

What a lovely day to shape your dreams
And you don't even have to sleep
You can make it what you want to be
You can fly away
You can change your name
Have a happy face
It can be so real

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do (x3)
Is all that I can do
