Lyrics What Hurts The Most

Jay-Z And Kanye West's “Watch The Throne” Reviewed: “Lift Off”

Track 2: “Lift Off” Featuring Beyoncé

Sounds Like: A percussion and synth-heavy track with aspirations of being a stadium jam, where the actual lyrics are an afterthought.

Pros: Sharp snare drums propel the transition from Beyoncé’s chorus to Kanye and Jay’s verses. B’s words are highly catchy—even if “moon” and “stars” are pretty obvious—blasting on repeat throughout the track. The last minute or so is the most interesting, as the chorus which we’ve heard over and over gets reworked on some new percussion, but alas, it’s just an outro.

Cons: Given it’s the second track on the album and boasts a Beyoncé guest appearance, we were expecting this song to really get things started, or at least have the most obvious commercial appeal. It appears to be going for the latter, as the trio attempt to take advantage of the recent trend of aerial-themed, inspirational anthems (“ Firework ,” “ Lighters “). But rather than explode into Kanye’s rhymes, there’s a lengthy intro filled with too many sounds before giving way to Beyonce’s (somewhat cheesy) chorus. B’s vocals are always welcomed, but at 30 seconds it feels overwrought, just delaying the inevitable awesomeness that never quite materializes. Kanye’s verse starts off strong before he begins mumbling his lyrics, while Jay’s follow-up is almost nonexistent. The song looks to have most mainstream appeal (Beyoncé certainly never hurts with that) but there isn’t enough of a definitive or inventive line to really motivate us to “take it to the stars,” without the use of tired solar system references. We were at least expecting ‘Ye to squeeze in something about Uranus.

Definitive Self-Aggrandizing Lyric: A tie between ‘Ye’s “I got the whole city/They about to go off” and Bey’s collective bragging in the chorus: “We gonna take it to the moon, take it to the stars/How many people you know can take it this far?” Because, well, we don’t have an answer for that question.

Song Winner: We’d say West has it over Jay, but this song is really all Beyoncé. We’ll take her constant presence throughout the track as refusal to be just any other guest star.

BOYCE AVENUE - WHAT HURTS THE MOST LYRICS

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though goin on with you gone still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again I pretend I'm okay but that's not what gets me

What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin it
Boyce Avenue What Hurts The Most lyrics found on http://www.lyricsty.com/boyce-avenue-what-hurts-the-most-lyrics.html
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret

But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken

What hurts the most, is being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do

What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
And never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do

Not seein that lovin you
That's what I was tryin to do <div style="padding: 3px; width: 400px; text-align: center;"><object width="400" height="334"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WCq6Y3gTN7M?fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WCq6Y3gTN7M?fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="334"></embed></object></div><a href="http://www.lyricsty.com">Lyrics</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsty.com/boyce-avenue-lyrics.html">Boyce Avenue lyrics</a> - <a href="http://www.lyricsty.com/boyce-avenue-what-hurts-the-most-lyrics.
