I love music just as much as the next person (if not more), but something that has always captured my attention about music is the lyrics. Maybe it's because I'm a writer, but in my opinion, a song's lyrics has the power to make or break the song. As I listen to music, I look for songs that tell a good story or that pull my heartstrings a bit. For me, it's all about the words, so here are my top 10 favorite song lyrics to date.

1. "Ain't it funny how life changes. You wake up, ain't nothing the same and life changes. You can't stop it; just hop on the train. You never know what's gonna happen. You make your plans, and you hear God laughing."

"Life Changes" - Thomas Rhett

2. "Cause there ain’t no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart."

"Eighteen Inches" - Lauren Alaina

3. "It's okay, life is a tough crowd. 32 and still growing up now. Who you are is not what you did. You're still an innocent."

"Innocent" - Taylor Swift

4. "Feeling your heart again, breathing new oxygen. It's a liberty walk, walk!
Free yourself, slam the door! Not a prisoner anymore!"

"Liberty Walk" - Miley Cyrus

5. "I’ll never stop trying. I’ll never stop watching as you leave. I’ll never stop losing my breath every time I see you looking back at me. I’ll never stop holding your hand. I’ll never stop opening your door. I’ll never stop choosing you, babe.
I’ll never get used to you."

"Never Stop" - SafetySuit

6. "A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect. Every action in this world will bear a consequence. If you wait around forever, you will surely drown. I see what's going down."

"Face Down" - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

7. "I'm gonna show him what little girls are made of, gunpowder and lead."

"Gunpowder & Lead" - Miranda Lambert

8. "You made me insecure, told me I wasn't good enough. But who are you to judge when you're a diamond in the rough?"

"Who Says" - Selena Gomez

9. "Darling, don't be afraid. I have loved you for a thousand years."

"A Thousand Years" - Christina Perri

10. "And no matter what dreams you're chasing, never get above your raising. May the simple things be amazing on the journey of your life."

"The Journey of Your Life" - Jake Owen

If I listed all of my favorite song lyrics, I'd never stop writing, but I hope you take the time to listen to these songs. The lyrics truly are beautiful, and I never get bored of them.
