"Empty Handed"

Here I am take me
It's easier to give in
Some people mistake me
They only hear what they want to hear
If you're losing sleep
Forgive me
I just can't keep pretending

I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't wanna be
The only one who's drowning in their misery
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just wanna breathe
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
How it's supposed to be

There's a prism by the window
It lets the light leak in
I wish you would let me
You feel the water but do you swim?
And it's only me empty-handed
With a childish grin and a camera

I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't wanna be
The only one who's drowning in their misery
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just wanna breathe
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
How it's supposed to be

la da da da

I'm packing my bags 'cause I don't wanna be
The only one who's drowning in their misery
And I'll take that chance 'cause I just wanna breathe
And I won't look back and wonder how it's supposed to be
How it's supposed to be

'Cause I'm packing my bags
And I won't be back

My Michelle Branch Song Magazine -Part 1

I love Michelle Branch. Since I was in High School and in that time, what i only can afford to collect was Song Hist (Song Magazine in the Philippines) List of Songs for the month with featured Album from different artist.

If Michelle Branch was featured in the song hits i will buy it. I will do anything to grab a copy.

Now i wonder where's my Spirit room song magazine. Someone Borrow it but unable to turn it back. Gosh. (Sayang naman!).

But what i have is her Hotel Paper Album...

INTRO: C/G  D/G  G  G

VERSE 1:
C/G            D/G             G
Of all the things I believed in.
C/G         D/G            G
I just want to get it over with. 
C/G          D/G            G   F#m      Em
Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry. 
A7                              C/G
Counting the days that pass me by. 

VERSE 2: (same chords verse 1)
I’ve been searching deep down in my soul. 
Words that I’m hearing are starting to get old. 
Feels like I’m starting all over again. 
The last three years are just pretend. 

CHORUS:
         G     D    Em
And I said good-bye to you.
C          G     D            Em     C
Good-bye to everything that I knew. 
 G        D      Em
You were the one I loved. 
A7                                     C
The one thing that I tried to hold on to.

VERSE 3: (same chords verse 1 and 2)
I used to get lost in your eyes and 
it seems that I can’t live a day without 
you. closing my eyes,you chase my 
thoughts away to a place where I’m blinded 
by the light but it’s not right. 

CHORUS:
Good-bye to you. Good-bye to everything that
I knew. You were the one I loved. 
The one thing that I tried to hold on to. 

G  G  C/G  C/G

      G
And it hurts to want 
                 C/G
everything and nothing at the same time. 
G                          C
I want what’s yours and I want what’s mine.
  C                                    G
I want you but I’m not giving in this time. 

CHORUS:
Good-bye to you.
Good-bye to everything that I knew. 
You were the one I loved.
The one thing that I tried to hold on to.
The one thing that I tried to hold on to. 
Good-bye to you. 
Good-bye to everything that I knew. 
You were the one I loved

END: G  C

Michelle Branch till now

... coz your everywhere to me and when close my eye it's you i see....i heard that lyrics when i was in 3rd year high school. Thats when i started to listen to her song. i like it. I really was her a fan after that.


I collected song hits. Cut her picture from a magazine. and because at that time i have no money to buy her cd my option was to listen to the radio and wait for her song to play. I even watching her on MTV and MYX that is when those channel were still available on our local TV's. But now you have to have capable subscription to view that channel.


After my high school life i start paying attention to may college year.Thesis, projects, presentations, exams etc. i almost forgot that sometimes in my life i was that avid Fan of Michelle Branch.


I want to start my year by looking back to her life , her music her art!.  like i was looking back to my young days.


Hey i was still young!... I m still in 20's.. hahaha.
