Lions, Tigers, and Bears.... A Love Story

Things has seemed to level out that last few weeks. Jazmine Sullivan's track Lions, Tigers, and Bears seems to sum up my relationship status as of yet. Starting over again can be so hard but this song and Taylor Swift's Love Story kind of defines how I'm feeling right now. Enjoy!

Lions, Tigers & Bears... But I'm Scared.... Of Loving You!!

I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh no]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?

Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom
You say you care and I know you do
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense
Just cause I love u and u love me,
It doesn't mean that we're meant to be,
I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas,
But the most frightening thing is you & me!

I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh no]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?

Most circumstances I know my fate
But in this love thing I don't get the game
Why does it feel like those who give in,
They only wind up losing a friend?
Just cause I love u and u love me,
It doesn't mean that we'll ever be,
Fly cross the ocean, sing for the Queen,
But the most frightening thing is you & me!

I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh no]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?

I'm not sure no, I'm not sure
But if we never try we'll never know
It's better to have loved than not to loved at all
But trying is worst than to stumble and fall
And if we do?
I'd rather it be with you
Cause at least there will be
Sweet memories

I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh no]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?


Love Story -- Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

I'll Be Alright

For some reason, I've hit another rough patch in my life. The kind of instances that occur when you feel like "what's next" or " who did I piss off in a past life", but after hearing this song in my Zune playlist, it put a lot of things into perspective so I've decided to post the lyrics so that you too can be inspired and know that we are not alone. Especially when it comes to bad things happening in our lives. Enjoy!

You’ll Be Alright - - Musiq Soulchild

So many people want to search, to find, within their days, for that place, within their minds to hide
And dump the load of this worldly life, and the things that it can make you feel and do just to pass away your time, but you’ll be alright cause if you just hold on, be strong
You’ll be alright, yes you will
People have a tendency, to think to themselves that they're the only ones going through more things than anyone else
But oh, I bet you'll beg to differ if you would just consider the much bigger picture
Cause then you would see that most people go through the same things that you do in life
But you’ll be alright cause if you can take it, you surely can make it
You’ll be alright
Just take a good look around, look at the things and all the people
People that you see cause we share a joy, we share a pain
So it doesn't matter at all, were all the same
But you be alright, cause if you can take it, you surely can make it
You be alright (yeah)
Don't think that you're the only one, cause you’ll be alright
See I know things look real hard now, it's going to work out somehow
Problems may come problems may go, just as long as you know, you’ll be alright
Cause if you can take it, you surely can make it
You’ll be alright (yeah)
