One Republic - Apologize

Apologize :
I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Bridge (guitar/piano)

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...

The Script - Breakeven

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't breakeven.

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven.

What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay,
I'm falling to pieces,
I'm falling to pieces.

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise word's gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven.

And, what am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay,
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces.
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces.
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm try and make sense of what little remains
'Cause you left me with no love, no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break, no it don't breakeven.

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay,
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces.
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh it don't breakeven no,
Oh it don't breakeven no,
Oh it don't breakeven no.

Rafting

So I just got home from spending the weekend with my parents, my uncle and his girlfriend, and my uncles friend/army buddy and his son. It was an awesome time. We drove to West Virginia yesterday and checked into the camp site. Later that day we went on a 3 to 4 hour white water rafting trip down the river – I am now hooked and want to go again, but on a more intense river with more rapids. No one fell out, but we all almost did when we were surfing (paddling straight into the rapid after you have gone over it) – the raft filled with water and we had nothing to hold onto, but it was awesome. Afterward we built a fire, had some bratwursts and hot dogs, had a beer and spent the night just hanging out. Then today we started driving home, stopped for breakfast with my uncle and his girlfriend, and then drove the rest of the way home.

The plan for the next time we go (If I am able to) is to try the Lower Gauley, which is one step up from what we did. It’s a mixture of Class 3, 4, and 5 rapids. After that we want to try the Upper Gauley, which is 20 Class V Rapids, 5 of which are World Class, and then a handful of Class III and IV rapids – someone will definitely fall out of the raft on those!

I really want to get a group together and go back down there sometime. Probably after the deployment since there is very little time, but it got me thinking about how many different things I want to try – Sky diving, bungee jumping, etc. I need to start my own personal bucket list. T

All in all I had a good time, and can’t wait to go again. Hopefully next time both Adam and I can go and have a good time. Once Lydia is old enough I’ll have to take her too!

For You and Me

For You and Me

One day the world will see
The sacrifices made
For you and me

The battles fought
and pain endured
We reap the benefits
But they feel the loss

They Asked for nothing
and Gave everything
To fight for freedom
For you and me

They left their families
They left their wives
To serve the people
And our way of life

The blood they shed
The tears they cried
To fight for freedom
For you and me

Their hearts are true
Their love is strong
While all gave some
Some gave all

One day this nation,
They shall see
The sacrifices made
For you and me
