Can I receive any advice and help?

Actually right now, I have a couple of loose ideas on AMVs that I want to make. But, I seriously need some help.
1) I seriously want to do an AMV on RomeoXJuliet. The series has plenty of action, drama, and romance all compiled together and I really wanted to focus on those. The problem is, I am completly lost on song choice. That's all I know right now...I need some help developing this please.
2) I found a fantastic song, but I have no idea on what anime fits this song. If you have any ideas on what anime would be good with this, please let me know! Here are the lyrics:

Louder, louder
The voices in my head
Whispers taunting
All the things you said
Faster the days go by and I'm still
Stuck in this moment of wanting you here
Time
In the blink of an eye
You held my hand, you held me tight
Now you're gone
And I'm still crying
Shocked, broken
I'm dying inside

Where are you?
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me
Be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me

Shadows linger
Only to my eye
I see you, I feel you
Don't leave my side
It's not fair
Just when I found my world
They took you, they broke you, they tore out your heart

I miss you, you hurt me
You left with a smile
Mistaken, your sadness
Was hiding inside
Now all that's left
Are the pieces to find
The mystery you kept
The soul behind a guise

Where are you
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me
Be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me

Why did you go?
All these questions run through my mind
I wish I couldn't feel at all
Let me be numb
I'm starting to fall

Where are you?
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me
Be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me

Where are you?
Where are you?

You were smiling

The song is sung by Kelly Clarkson. I hope you can listen to the song, and give me any advice on what anime to use and how you would invision this. Please and thank you!

I've never actually listened to the song, but when I read the lyrics, the 1st anime I thought of was Sukisyo. (Warning: its a shounen-ai anime.) As far as non-shounen-ai stuff goes, maybe Gankutsuou or Saikano.

Cool thanks for the help! My sister saw Gankutsuou and Saikano before, so she can tell me a bit about the series. I never heard of Sukisyo before, it's probably really good!

Any other ideas everyone? (I also need help picking a song for RomeoXJuliet please). Please and thank you!

I am very impatient, and I am a huge worryer, and I felt I wasn't specific enough on the help I wanted.
1) I need a song for RomeoXJuliet. I wanted the AMV to have drama/action/suspense/romance. I love the song "What have you done" by Within Temptation (Don't worry I won't use that song), but I wanted the song to sound similiar to that (Unless you have any other song recommendations). I wanted the video to be about two star-crossed or fated lovers who have to go through obstacles to get with eachother. I wanted to add a summary of the series:

In the floating continent of Neo Verona, the Montague family seized control and murdered every member of the Capulet family with the exception of Capulet's daughter, Juliet Fiammata Asto Capulet. 14 years later, Juliet and the remnants of Capulet's retainers live hidden from the iron fist of the Montague family. Juliet has long forgotten the murder of her family or her identity, and cross dresses as Odin and the town's hero of justice, "Red Whirlwind". A sudden escape in her daily escapades leads her to meet Romeo Candorebanto Montague, the kind son of the tyrannical Montague. Destiny has been set as these two individuals soon to be "star-crossed lovers" are cruelly toyed with by fate in the midst of war. Loosely based on the play by William Shakespeare. (from Animelist.net)

2)The other I need an anime that fits the lyrics of "Haunted" by Kelly Clarkson. I also wanted a drama/action (or romance) AMV.

If you have any song choices, anime choices, or hints, and advice, anything would be great! Please and thank you!

if you like within temptaion you could look for other songs by: Evanessence, nightwish, lacuna coil, elfornia, leavies eyes, H.I.M and many other arists from the same genre you'll probably find something not as overused as within temptation (who I will still edit to regardless if the mood struck me, because i don't give a rats ass what other people think of my music tastes)

Some ideas off the top of my head H.Im dont fear the reaper (which I'm currently editing too... it even mentions romeo & juilett in the lyrics... so I'd be forced to kill you if you did it too

) or tombstone for love also by H.I.M, but really why not pick something dancy out of the box you know... a happy romeo n juliet video?

As for the second idea:twighlight of the dark master,make a love story where there isn't one, like between 2 femal character for some yuri action ikkitousen or tnjou tenge, BGC2040 otherwise... blood + , vampire princess miyu. argentasoma the list goes on

I know this may sound super cheesy but if you wanna make a happy cute video for romeo x juliet you can use romeo and juliet by toybox, or hey juliet by LMNT.
