The Sky is Falling


I tried so hard to keep it together
But the sky is still falling
The earth is still shaking
The wind is still roaring

The clouds are rolling in
I see the flashes in the distance
Hear the rumbling from deep within
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break

CHORUS
Is this the end for me?
I let it all go
The picture is broken now
I let it all go
Time to pick up the pieces

How did we let it get to this?
The rain is pounding my skin
The cold is freezing my heart
The air is tense and bitter

I feel so alone here, in the dark, dark, dark
But I'll keep looking for you
I'll search until the end of time
I will bring you back to me

CHORUS
Is this the end for me?
I lost it all
The picture is broken now
I lost it all
Time to pick up the pieces

BRIDGE
You gotta keep shining, shining for me
You gotta keep trying, trying for me
I gotta keep walking, walking for you
I gotta keep fighting, fighting for you

CHORUS
Is this the end for me?
I let it all go
The picture is broken now
I lost it all
Time to pick up the pieces
... Time to pick up the pieces
... I need to pick up the pieces

The Vampire Diaries


That’s the thing about Klaus and Caroline, no matter how much she tries to deny it, he brings out someone stronger in her. He sees her full potential, he sees where she could go if she would only believe in herself. And he’s not saying it just to win her over because the thing about love, the real, deep, in your soul kind of love, is that you can’t be selfish with it. Maybe the only time you can never be selfish is when you love someone, because you would do anything for that person, to see them live, truly live. And she can’t deny it, when he looks at her with those eyes, she’d have to be blind not to see it. No matter how insecure or selfish they are, when they are together they bring out the best in each other, and that’s how it ought to be. He makes her a stronger more independent woman and she makes him a better man, she makes him believe that there is still good in him, that he can BE good.  That’s what makes them so special. 

And it’s not just this one instance, or this one relationship, it’s the whole story, from the beginning to wherever it ends. It’s about these instances where love really does conquer all.  Everyone in this story has sacrificed for love.  Everyone at one point or another has been lifted up and beaten down by love.  The fact that the writers and the actor’s of this show can capture this and express it so eloquently is what makes this show so beautiful.  That is talent. To really make a story come alive; to evoke passion and purpose. This is what I see when I watch The Vampire Diaries.

Loved this video on YouTube so I'll share it
