Some words that have helped me a lot today

[davew]

I came upon some great songs that have helped me a lot today. I have been stuck holding onto somebody who "wants to be friends" after 3 years...you know the story. Its the same as all the rest. She fell out of love and cannot admit it so she holds on a leads me on. But this has helped me today:

 

 

 

HAPPY SONG

words & music by Joel Ackerson

 

Tie me up again, and beat me until I bleed

Then tell me that you'd like me better without my scars

Be my only friend, be the only girl I need

And I'll try to love you just the way you are

 

And one of these days I'm gonna write you a happy song

Just like one of these days you'll stop sleepin' around

Sooner or later we're bound to learn how to get along

One of these days we'll stop bringin' each other down

 

Set me up again, just to laugh at me when I fall

Then tell me to wipe the tears out of my eyes

You say we've reached the end, but then you're the one to call

Baby it's the worst of all your lies

 

One of these days I'm gonna write you a happy song

And one of these days you might want me around

Sooner or later we're bound to learn how to get along

One of these days we'll stop bringin' each other down

 

So I let you go again, let it mess me up inside

Cause baby I wouldn't want nuthin' to cramp your style

But every time I bend, you take me for a ride

And then ask why it's so hard for me to smile...

 

I need to smile

 

So one of these days I'm gonna write me a happy song

Just like one of these days you'll stop leadin' me on

Sooner or later I'm bound to learn how to get along

One of these days you'll come lookin' and I'll be gone

 

You're gonna come lookin' babe... but I'll be gone

You know you always come lookin' babe... but I'll be gone

PUT ME DOWN

words & music by Joel Ackerson

 

If I wished you well, you'd mess yourself up to spite me

And if I offered my life, you'd keep me alive just to fight me

 

What do you want, and what do you need

You ask to be carried, then quickly you plead

 

Put me down

 

If I ran away, you'd hunt me back down and you'd find me

But if I tried to stay, how little you care, you'd remind me

 

That I'm probably to blame, that we've come to this

Cause I leave myself open, and you never miss

 

Put me down, cause it's what I deserve

Put me down, for having the nerve

Put me down

Cause I had the nerve to care

 

If I told the truth, how cynical I've come to be

Sometimes, I pray that you'll find the strength, to end what you've started with me

 

Cause I gave you my heart, and I knew you'd break it

Here's your big chance girl, so why don't you take it

 

Put me down, cause I want this to end

Put me down, if you were ever my friend

Put me down

Why don't you please put me down
