I’m not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.
One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.
Drunemeton, 
“Do You Believe In Shame” by Duran Duran
I heard you speak my name
Heard you singing The Stones
Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static
On my telephoneSo why your eyelids are closed
Inside a case of rust
And did you have to change
All your poet’s fire into frozen dust?I try to justify it
To learn from your mistake
But where’s the stupid lie that has to make its point
With such a pointless waste?”Simon wrote the lyric for the song about his friend Dave Miles, who tragically died of a drug overdose.
DirigibleProtein, “Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache”Synchronicity II, The Police
LordFarkWad7, I went to the doctor
I said I’m feeling kind of rough
“Let me break it to ya son
Your shits fucked up”.
I said “my shits fucked up?
Well I don’t see how.”
He said “the shit that used to work.
Won’t work now.”
-Warren Zevon
subspaceinterferents, 
Now you come to me and you’ve got green streaks in your hair
You walk like Greta Garbo, but you talk like Yogi Bear
What’s going on? What’s going on?
I really don’t believe what’s going on; what’s going on?
— Al Stewart
moldyringwald, 
This line from Uncle John’s Band by Grateful Dead is really simple and maybe kinda cheesy but it’s given me motivation and kept me in check a few times:
Well the first days are the hardest days, don’t you worry anymore. 'Cause when life looks like easy street there is danger at your door
soloner, I think that the truth is I’m scared
I think I’m just scared to live
I think that that the truth is I’m scared
I think that the truth is I’m everything that I hate
- Angela Baker and my obsession with fire
cale_darkrin, Show me your strength,
it’s more than you know.
You’ll never what you’re made of
until you set foot down the road.
~Where the Skies End, by Starset
clegko, 
Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we’d like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee
~Losing It, by Rush

m0darn, There’s an enemy
Living inside of me
And he’s been wasting my time, wasting my time

Asafum, The older I get the farther I get from this, but it was true for a very long time:
I’m so scared of getting older, I’m only good at being young, So I play the numbers game, To find a way to say my life has just begun.
Sharkwellington, “A heart that’s full up like a landfill”
No Surprises by Radiohead
Makes me think of someone who’s so empathetic that their heart is just always overflowing with thoughts of other people’s misery. It hasn’t gotten better.
ladytaters, Let me fly once again / Like I did way back when / I would gamble and win / To lift me high above the din -
