One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well
Well, look at what well-meant did

Wicked - No Good Deed

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...

Wicked - For Good

I'm through accepting limits,
'Cuz someone says they're so!
Some things I cannot change,
but 'till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
losing love, I guess I've lost!
Well, if that's love, it comes at much to high a cost!

Wicked - Defying Gravity

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Wicked - For Good

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart

Wicked - I’m Not That Girl

Don’t dream too far

Don’t lose sight of who you are

Wicked - 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

Wicked - I’m Not That Girl

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm

Christina Aguilera - I’m OK

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid

Christina Aguilera - I’m OK

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Simple Plan - Welcome To My Life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

Simple Plan - Welcome To My Life

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You

If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate

Kelly Clarkson - If No One Will Listen

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

Katy Perry - Firework

Mensen die beweren dat ze boosaardig zijn, zijn meestal niet slechter dan de rest. Juist voor mensen die beweren dat ze goed zijn, of in elk geval beter dan anderen, moet je oppassen.

Wicked (boek) - Gregory MaGuire

(Ned. vertaling Ineke Lenting)

Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do

Aerosmith - I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing

Yeah, you may think that I’m a zero
But hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me

Glee - Loser Like Me

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated

Mahatma Gandhi

What have I done? I wish I could run
Away from this ship goin' under
Just tryin' to help, hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is
On my shoulders

Glee - Get It Right

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right

Glee - Get It Right

Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around

P!nk - Perfect

Someone who knows when you're lost and you're scared
And there through the highs and the lows
Someone you can count on, someone who cares
Beside you wherever you'll go

Demi Lovato - Gift Of A Friend

And still I dream she'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

Glee - I Dreamed A Dream

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

Glee/Les Miserables - I Dreamed A Dream

The best way to have a friend is to be one!

Afkomst onbekend

You can take everything I have,
You can break everything I am,
Like I'm made of glass,
Like I'm made of paper.
Go on and try to tear me down.
I will be rising from the ground,
Like a skyscraper

Demi Lovato - Skyscraper

Prepare yourself to meet a girl who can not sleep
Dividing every question 'til the questions are complete
Every twisted tongue she studies everyone
she won't leave any stone unturned the night is oh so Young

Delta Goodrem - The Analyst

Who would have thought when chance came calling that this
would be my defining story
And who could have guessed on my life's journey I could find my way through this an extraordinary day

Delta Goodrem - Extraordinary Day

You taught me what it was
To feel the sting of love
To feel like I don't ever wanna let somebody
Ever get that close to me again

Nikki - How To Break A Heart

When tomorrow terrifies you, but you'll die if you look back.
You don't know!
I know you don't know.
You say that you're hurting, it sure doesn't show.
You don't know!
It lays me so low, when you say let go and I say you don't know...

Next To Normal - You Don’t Know

I don’t need a life that’s normal
That’s way too far away
But something next to normal
Would be okay
Yeah, something next to normal
That’s the thing I’d like to try
Close enough to normal
To get by

Next To Normal - Maybe

Sitting in a big white room alone
Tilt my head back, feel the tears fall down
Close my eyes to see in the dark
I feel young, broken, so so scared
I don't wanna be here anymore
I wanna be somewhere else
Normal and free, like I used to be
But I have to stay in this big white room
With little old me

Jessie J - Big White Room

I wish we could have another minute, to finish this fairytale.
Hear your voice and get lost in it, cause all I got is broken details.
You were my world and everything in it, so how did you disappear.
I won't say this is over, you're still here.
You're my shadow, my shadow, I know you're close
You're my shadow, my shadow, everywhere I go
So I, I don't see the need to cry cause you'll never leave my life
You're my shadow, my shadow, oh
You'll never leave me

Jessie J - My Shadow

Don't lose who you are in blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!

Jessie J - Who You Are

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you dragged my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising

Jessie J - Who’s Laughing Now

No matter how many walls you put around your heart, the music you listen to will tell everyone how you really feel.

Afkomst onbekend

Searching to fill your soul

The strength to stand alone

The power of not knowing and letting go

I guess I've found my way

It's simple when it's right

Feeling lucky just to be here tonight

And happy just to be me and be alive

Jennifer Lopez - Alive

When you get caught in the rain

With nowhere to run

When you're distraught

And in pain without anyone

And you feel so far away

That you just can't find your way home

You can get there alone, it's ok

Once you say

I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again

On my own and I know

That I'm strong enough to mend

Mariah Carey - Through The Rain

I always needed time on my own

I never thought I'd need you there when I cried

And the days feel like years when I'm alone

Avril Lavigne - When You’re Gone

Forgive, sounds good

Forget, I'm not sure I could

They say time heals everything

But I'm still waiting

Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Natascha Bedingfield - Soulmate

You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
This is the part of me, that you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no

Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul

Katy Perry – Part Of Me

You tried to break me, but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

Kelly Clarkson – What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger)

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself

Carl Gustav Jung
