I just heard this song earlier today and the lyrics just reached out to me... so I thought I'd like to share it.
I'm feeling a little left out in life and also a teensy bit melancholic because I tend to care about everyone around me, but me. I'm a daughter, girlfriend, mother (to furkids), co-worker, writer but never myself... and sometimes it frustrates me to no end... other times it scares the crap out of me.
I wonder if I'm anybody's miracle....
Liz Phair - Somebody's Miracle
I'm so far, so far away from it now
That it seems like I may never know how
People stay in love for half of their lives
It's a secret they keep between husbands and wives
Baby, There goes somebody's miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale
I wish it could happen to me
But I look at myself
Wonderin' if i'm just too weak
To have such faith in myself
Once upon a time I was so restless in love
When things we're fine, I changed my mind just because
Now I see how wrong and reckless i've been
Each frog has a prince just waiting inside of him
Baby, There goes somebody's miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale
I wish it could happen to me
But I look at myself, and I think what the hell
Maybe I'm just too naive
To have such faith in myself
You know I'm prayin' for it
But the queen, she likes to sit on her throne
Doesn't mean you two are never alone
It's just love has needs that love only knows
Watch a couple stay close, It's like the bloom of a rose
Baby, There goes somebody's miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale
I wish it could happen to me
There goes somebody's miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale...
I never cry out loud, I
I keep my tears to myself
But I woke up one day and I found my life had left me for
someone else
I, I guess it must be unhappy with me
Baby, There goes somebody's miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale
I wish it could happen to me
But I look at myself
Wondering if i'm just too weak
To have such faith in myself
You know I'm prayin for it
You know I'm prayin for it
You know I'm prayin for it
