No Picture Ryan Average	#1 by Ryan Jones at Sep 27, 2007 at 2:08 AM EST
	ohhh this song feels so teenage/adolescent to me, but that may be cause I havent' heard it in like a year and I kinda miss macy gray getting mainstream playtime

No Picture kewl Wanna Be	#2 by kewl dude at Sep 27, 2007 at 10:17 PM EST
	"I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love I may seem alright and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front " thats wot the songs bout

No Picture Daniel Average	#3 by Daniel Gordon at Sep 29, 2007 at 7:27 AM EST
	it's about just wanting to be with someone, but having your fear block you from doing anything about it.

No Picture Jacob Lead Player	#4 by Jacob Julian at Sep 29, 2007 at 11:49 AM EST
	I think, it's pretty much just that she wants the guy, but he doesn't know that she does. Inside, she thinks maybe it'll be better if she'd let him go, but she just can't because there is something there. When she says "I may seem alright. And smile when you leave. But my smiles are just a front", it seems as though she's too afraid to tell him how she really feels and now she's just stuck wanting him, but isn't able to tell him, because maybe it's too late.

No Picture john Wanna Be	#5 by john dolmayan at Sep 30, 2007 at 2:45 PM EST
	This song always makes me cry- but not because of a relationship break-up. For me it reminds me of how my heart got broken...by the people I called my friends.

No Picture Cory Wanna Be	#6 by Cory at Sep 30, 2007 at 3:15 PM EST
	I agree with tomboy...I can see how this song works for people who have recently lost one or more of their friends, for whatever reason[s]. that also happens to be how I relate to it these days! "goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble," my favorite lines. in a few words, she illustrates an entire scene so well. I hate when i'm trying to speak and my emotions take over and i just choke on all of the words. it's hard "moving on" but whatever...what else can you do when the only person[or people] you really trusted abandons you?

No Picture jo_silverhawk Average	#7 by jo_silverhawk at Sep 30, 2007 at 7:23 PM EST
	i lvoe this song so much! its so sad. she is totally infatuated with this guy but she cant bring herself to just let it go... but at the same time, its taking her over because she is so in love wth him "my world crumbles when you are not near".. i love that line to death!!

No Picture Jake Wanna Be	#22 by Jake Stewart at Oct 8, 2007 at 9:06 AM EST
	the lyrics are very good but something about macy gray's singing annoys me, therefor i can only read the lyrics and not listen to the song. but i think at one point or another all of us has put up a front. it's just natural not to want to wear your heart on your sleeve.

No Picture Freddy Badass	#26 by Freddy Timmons at Oct 10, 2007 at 9:40 AM EST
	The first time I heard this was on a 20/20 special about Mike leaving Spin City (if I remember corectly it also played during that show during the final scene) and it just described more or less how I was feeling at that time

No Picture Tim Professional	#27 by Tim Marchant at Oct 10, 2007 at 6:38 PM EST
	This song is about drug addiction.

No Picture Mike Average	#28 by Mike Fraguglia at Oct 11, 2007 at 12:54 AM EST
	This should be my theme song for my relationship. I put up this front for some odd reason and try to hide my feelings. This song is absolutely me.

No Picture Taylor Lead Player	#32 by Taylor Dutton at Oct 12, 2007 at 9:17 AM EST
	Love the song and the multiple ways of looking at it but I see it as... “I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together, babe But we're not” “I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear: My world crumbles when you are not near” Basically she is in love with someone whom she most defiantly has a past with; that may or may not have halted negatively. It seems that she had her dead bolt locked in fear of getting hurt or what ever the case must be again but she uses these lyrics and this song to tell the person, that she wouldn’t like anything more then to try it again. So she is basically ready to stop using her dead lock because it is safe and she is ready to open up to this person again.

	wanting something you can't have, trying to pretend you're above it, don't want it. but you do.
