Expression Through Paramore Lyrics

I had kind of a rough day. I had lots of people asking if I've had any breakthrough on my job hunt because they truly care, but it's hard to have to tell the same "not yet" story over and over and over again in a single day. I know God has a plan and a purpose, and Bible study tonight helped remind me that I need to give everything to Him because God is in control.
On my way home, I decided to put my Paramore songs on shuffle on my iPod. Since I don't believe in coincidences, I chose to write down the order of the songs that played on my drive home, and they all helped improve my mood and express my feelings in their own unique way. So I've decided to express myself by listing the songs that played, along with the lyrics that spoke to me as I drove back home tonight.

Can't make my own decisions, or make any with precision.
~Playing God
And the worst part is, before it gets any better, we're headed for a cliff. Then in the free fall I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom. The tragedy it seems unending. I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending. We're taking shortcuts and false illusions just to come out the hero. ~Turn It Off
Take this time to realize that you always force a smile in the midst of trial. And everything is always right (and I think that it's time). This battle must be won (but you pushed it aside). Pushed it aside. Pretend that it's gone. This circle never ends and it's time you just face it, don't pretend. ~This Circle
And I'll take the truth at any cost. 'Cause we are broken. What must we do to restore our innocence and oh, the promise we adored? Give us life again 'cause we just wanna be whole. ~We Are Broken
I had it all, but, not what I wanted 'cause hope for me was a place uncharted and overgrown...You can't tell me to heal. And it hurts remembering how it felt to shut down. You can't be too careful anymore when all that is waiting for you won't come any closer. You've got to reach out a little more~Careful
Cause I fear I might break and I fear I can't take it. Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty. I can feel the pressure...Now that I'm losing hope and there's nothing else to show...Some things I'll never know and I had to let them go. I'm sitting all alone feeling empty. ~Pressure
I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright. ~Here We Go Again
But now I feel like I don't know you. ~Never Let This Go
Stuck on you 'till the end of time. ~Stuck On You
I climb, I slip, I fall...Breathe for love tomorrow cause there's no hope for today. ~Breathe (Until Tomorrow)
I am finding out that maybe I was wrong; that I've fallen down and I can't do this alone. ~My Heart
This wasn't what you wanted, was it? ~All We Know
Well you treat me just like another stranger. ~Ignorance
Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place. If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday...Holding onto patience wearing thin. I can't force these eyes to see the end. If only time flew like a dove. We could watch it fly and just keep looking up. ~Hallelujah
I think I'll pace my apartment a few times and fall asleep on the couch. ~All I Wanted
