Lyrics of a Lifetime
This post isn't meant to invoke sadness but the other day I compiled a playlist entitled "Anymore" full of the classic breakup (on the sad side) songs in my library. This by far does not encompass all the songs but here are a few of my favorite "my heart is broken verses," even though mine is far from it, I love February! Birthday Time! Feel free to add any verses to the list that have touched your heart or spoke to your brokeness over the years...Welcome to the approach of Valentine's Day, can't say it enough
I packed my bags the first thing this morning, I packed all my changes in there too, Erased all the numbers and addresses
And all the memories of you
I don't care about you anymore, I don't think about you anymore
I don't call about you anymore, I don't dream about you anymore
Anymore...
No woman, No Cry
Don't you take it so hard now, And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you, And the times we had...baby
And don't you cry tonight
Yeah in the middle of the night when you're lying alone, and baby you wish I was coming home but I ain't ever coming home you shouldn't have treated me this way . . . didn't you know how much I loved you...
Someday you're gonna think of me
Because of you, I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you, I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you, I am afraid
Because of you . . . Because of you . . .
Dont know how I'm goin' to find her, All I know so far,
She's on the coast of somewhere beautiful,
Runnin' with my heart...
I keep a lookin' for, the slightest sign, that you might miss
what you left behind, I know there's nothing stopping you now,
but I'd settle for a slowdown
Illusions all but faded, Sunlight beams in your hair, Trying me
I'm sorry Mary but it's over ...you took the best out of me...
There goes my old girlfriend, there's another diamond ring. . .
. . .Tell me what it takes to let you go, Tell me how the pain's supposed to go, Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
I will be free, and I know this pain won't last forever, for it all will be a memory, but alas I love the loss
Wild horses keep draggin' me away . . . And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Well, I don't wanna live my life, too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say, lady
I'm walking away
Ill just figure everything is cool, Until I hear it from you
Baby you're a lost, baby you're a lost, Baby you're a lost cause
I want my money back and don't forget, And don't forget.
Will i shake this off pretend its all okay, That there someone out there who feels just like me, There is
I can't stop the rain, From falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain, But I will hold you 'til it goes away
One of these days, I won't be afraid of staying with you
I hope and I pray, Waiting to find a way back to you
Cause that's where I'm home
Youll find better love, Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs, Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
And when all is said and done, I'd never count the cost,
It's worth all that's lost, just to see you smile
Columbine, flower blue, tenderly I sing to you.
Columbine, roses are red, heartbreak overflows my head.
Columbine, friend of mine. Peace will come to you in time.
Speed, How fast will it go, Can it get me over her quickly, zero to sixty
Can it outrun her memory...
Cause with you, I'd withstand, All of Hell to hold your hand, I'd give it all, I'd give for us, Give anything,
but I won't give up
So don't go away say what you say but say that you'll stay
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me, Why did he hold you so tenderly? I've got dreams, Dreams to remember
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.
Scar Tissue that I wish you saw . . . With the birds I’ll share this lonely view
You got me stealin your love away, cause you never give it
Peeling the years away, And we cant relive it
I make you laugh, And you make me cry
I believe its time for me to fly!
Oh I, I, I, I, I, I, I, Walked the streets of love, And they are full of tears
Cupid draw back your bow and let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
And if I stay lucky then my tongue will stay tied, and I wont betray
The things that I hide...
And it only hurts when I'm breathing, My heart only breaks when it's beating, My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath--to forget
The first cut is the deepest...try to love again
I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you, And I never thought it would hurt just to hear "I do" and "I do"
Well I'm on a champagne high, Where will I be when I stop wondering why . . .

Ive been on the loosing end of distance
A little too far to be close
On every corner I'll be looking
Wiping my tears away
Nevermind the streetlights
For every shadows shaped like you
Every call keeps me running to the phone
Operator tell me how to get this off of me
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
And maybe / I'll see you / at a movie / sneak preview
You'll show up / and walk by / on the arm / of that guy
And I'll smile / and you'll wave / we'll pretend / it's okay
The charade / it won't last / when he's gone / I won't come back
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do
I can't make it all match up, I can hold my own,
I can deal with the situation right down to the bone,
I can survive, I can endure
And I don't even think about her
Most of the time.
Those are some of my favorites but you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I think there are many songs on a daily basis I listen to just to get my mind of of you know who- There are several Dave songs I listen to also but I think this group is enough for me. Hope this helps
Your Bro Mike
a few more hazel ones....
"You were the one. Who taught me what I don't need. And I thank you- I thank you for that. You were the one, Who brought me to my senses. And I thank you- Now just leave me alone."
"it's killing me too. stops my heart just to be with you. it's getting harder to stay away. it's killing me too. it's just so wrong not to be with you. so listen.... cause you are the only one who cares to hear."
"diggin in for another day. carry on in my own way, but you know me. i live and die nearly every day. insanity is having its way with me."
"and i guess i'm trying to be nonchelant about it. cause i'm going to extremes to prove i'm fine without ya. but in reality i'm slowly losing my mind. underneath the guise of smiles, gradually i'm dying inside. friends ask me how i feel and I lie convincingly. cause i don't want to reveal the fact that i'm suffering. but in reality i'm slowly losing my mind and when i come home at night, you konw i break down and cry" - old school mariah!
"After all of the stealing and cheating You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong. 'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know, just how capable I am to pull through....So I wanna say thank you"
and one more....
And after all the obstacles, It's good to see you now with someone else. And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends.
After all that we've been through, I know we're cool.
I know we're cool. And we used to think it was impossible. Now you call me by my new last name. Memories seem like so long ago... Time always kills the pain" G. steph
There's some good ones out there!
later

Gen Blossom, Kelly Clarkson, .... good ones, Well I have one for you, "...Sister I see you, dancing on the stage of memories..." Excuess the spelling cause I don't care, "...Today was going to be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you, bye now you should of some how realized what you not to do..."
