justaglimmer Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Music has been very soothing to me at this time. I know threads like this have been started before, but what is the song you relate to the most, and why? My past relationship involved crazy ups/downs/emotional abuse. My perfect song is Bittersweet Casualty by Cold Driven You're too careless to see All the bombs that you’re dropping It’s like living in a mine field Blow me away And now I pray I pray for you to change I pray to get away Now I pray to get away Get away We made a killer out of you and a hostage out of me Another bittersweet casualty We brought the devil out of you and a sinner out of me It’s not fair Love is war You're too careless to see All the shock that you’re causing It’s like walking on bomb shells Blow me away And I have faith Faith you’ll never change Faith I’ll get away I have faith I’ll get away Get away We made a killer out of you and a hostage out of me Another bittersweet casualty We brought the devil out of you and a sinner out of me It’s not fair Love is war Killer out of you and a hostage out of me Another bittersweet casualty We brought the devil out of you and a sinner out of me It’s not fair Love is war I can’t live this way Just like a hostage Living like, praying like I’ve got the feeling like Living like, feeling like Just like a hostage To scared to say anything Just like a hostage Cause you might bury me You might bury me We made a killer out of you and a hostage out of me Another bittersweet casualty We brought the devil out of you and a sinner out of me It’s not fair Love is war Killer out of you and a hostage out of me Another bittersweet casualty We brought the devil out of you and a sinner out of me It’s not fair Love is war I can’t live this way You might bury me Love is war Link to comment
Stay_home Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I don't associate much of anything with breaking up or splitting apart. It happened and we just got to get over it; that's how I try to look at things. Link to comment
Starrgrl Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 A while ago I came accross that Kelly Clarkson song that spoke of everything I felt: It's like you're a drug It's like you're a demon I can't face down It's like I'm stuck It's like I'm running from you all the time And I know I let you have all the power It's like the only company I seek is misery all around It's like you're a leech Sucking the life from me It's like I can't breathe Without you inside of me And I know I let you have all the power And I realize I'm never gonna quit you over time It's like I can't breathe It's like I can't see anything Nothing but you I'm addicted to you It's like I can't think Without you interrupting me In my thoughts In my dreams You've taken over me It's like I'm not me It's like I'm not me It's like I'm lost It's like I'm giving up slowly It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me Leave me alone And I know these voices in my head Are mine alone And I know I'll never change my ways If I don't give you up now It's like I can't breathe It's like I can't see anything Nothing but you I'm addicted to you It's like I can't think Without you interrupting me In my thoughts In my dreams You've taken over me It's like I'm not me It's like I'm not me I'm hooked on you I need a fix I can't take it Just one more hit I promise I can deal with it I'll handle it, quit it Just one more time Then that's it Just a little bit more to get me through this I'm hooked on you I need a fix I can't take it Just one more hit I promise I can deal with it I'll handle it, quit it Just one more time Then that's it Just a little bit more to get me through this It's like I can't breathe It's like I can't see anything Nothing but you I'm addicted to you It's like I can't think Without you interrupting me In my thoughts In my dreams You've taken over me It's like I'm not me It's like I'm not me And Mila J's song also sums it up well "No More Complaining" [VERSE 1] He done let me down a again Thats odd Always hurting me He dont never stop Must be something wrong with me Im lost Cause I cant quit letting him in my heart How many times am I gonna let him apologize Before I realize That he aint worth it, no How many times he gone light me before I blow This is critical Here I go [CHORUS] Damn Im sick and tired of how he keep on lying Damn Im sick and tired of feeling like Im dying So, no more complaining Either put up with it or let it go Damn Im sick and tired of making up and breaking up And Im over being alone when I wake up So, no more complaining Either put up with it or let it go [VERSE 2] I should be packing up again Thats odd And this time I aint playing Im a call it off I know I shouldnt want revenge But its a thought And maybe if I paid him back I could move on How many times am I gonna let him tear me down Let him hang around He aint worth it (no) How many times he gone light me before I blow This is critical So here I go (aw yeah) [CHORUS] Damn Im sick and tired of how he keep on lying (he be lying) Damn Im sick and tired of feeling like Im dying So, no more complaining (no more) Either put up with it or let it go (oh) Damn Im sick and tired of making up and breaking up (Making up, breaking up) And Im over being alone when I wake up (when I wake up) So, no more complaining (no more, no more) Either put up with it or let it go (with it or let it go) [bRIDGE] Hey Damn I wish I knew then What I know now Damn I wish I never given you the benefit of the doubt I cant believe Im going through this Boy you got me like whoa And all the dirty little secrets Now I know what youre all about Oh, and ooh ooh baby I think I done had enough I think its time that you go away I just cant take it (oh) I think I done had enough (oh, yeah yeah) [CHORUS] Damn Im sick and tired of how he keep on lying (Im so sick and tired, damn) Damn Im sick and tired of feeling like Im dying (dying) So, no more complaining (no complaining, oh) Either put up with it or let it go (I aint gonna put up with this time, boy) Damn Im sick and tired of making up and breaking up (no more) And Im over being alone when I wake up (no more, no more) So, no more complaining Either put up with it or let it go No more complaining (oh yeah, yeah, yeah) Either put up with it or let it go (yeah) Either put up with it or let it go Link to comment
jakel Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 ah yes the songs here's one Audio Slave what you are And when you wanted me, I came to you. And when you wanted someone else, I withdrew. And when you asked for light, I set myself on fire. And if I go far away, I know you'll find another slave. Now I'm free from what you want. Now I'm free from what you need. Now I'm free from what you are. And when you wanted blood, I cut my veins. And when you wanted love, I bled myself again. Now that I've had my fill of you, I'd give you up forever. And here i go far away, I know you, you'll find another slave. Now I'm free from what you want. Now I'm free from what you need. Now I'm free from what you are. Then a vision came to me when you came along. I gave you everything but then you wanted more. Now I'm free from what you want. Now I'm free from what you need. Now I'm free from what you are. Now that I'm free from what you want. Now that I'm free from what you need. Now that I'm free from what you are. Link to comment

jakel Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Ok this is it really Fine frenzy almost lover Your fingertips accross my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you I should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images And when you left you kissed my lips You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you I should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do I cannot go to the ocean I cannot drive the streets at night I cannot wake up in the morning Without you on my mind So you're gone and I'm haunted And I bet you are just fine Did I make it that easy To walk right in and out of my life? Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you I should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do Link to comment
Daligal83 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I found certain lines from songs helpful...both Mumford and Sons songs. This one is what I think HE should be thinking haha "But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really f'ed it up this time didn't I my dear?" And what I was thinking... "And tell me where was my fault in loving you with all my heart" Link to comment

jakel Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Rascal Flatts What Hurts The Most I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house That don’t bother me I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while Even though going on with you gone still upsets me There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok But that’s not what gets me 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 It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go But I’m doin’ It It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone Still Harder Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret But I know if I could do it over I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart That I left unspoken What hurts the most Is 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 trying to do What hurts the most Is 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 trying to do Not seeing that loving you That’s what I was trying to do Link to comment
Alpha Ghaz Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I don't associate much of anything with breaking up or splitting apart. It happened and we just got to get over it; that's how I try to look at things. Agreed. I don't see the point of picking a song that makes me feel awful Though I do have songs I can't listen to at the moment due to me singing it to my ex all the time. I'm Japanese so it works out? Who knows! Link to comment

In the Dark Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Most I have mocking songs in my head once broke up. Only if I am the dumpee. Otherwise songs which come to mind which have repeated over and over in my head, from what I remember have been Wish you were here by Incubus Running away by Hoobastank Apologize by One Republic Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung Link to comment
justaglimmer Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 In response to ~2 sided coin~ and Alpha Ghaz, its just for fun guys, kind of a way to vent Here's the thing about my starting this thread. Songs - music can help because its like a "release", if you will.The only time it makes me feel worse is if its a song that I knew he loved. Thats when I cry like a baby and know I should avoid it. I started this thread because I was bored and I thought it would be interesting to kinda see other people's stories through music.. like if anyone has the time, listen to all these songs on youtube or something, it could be quite interesting. Great song recommendations everybody, jakel you've added some good ones! Link to comment

It happened and we just got to get over it; that's how I try to look at things. While that is a positive way of looking at things, technically tons of people here are associating this very forum with their breakup. If everyone's going to get on here and vent about how much its hurting, sometimes spending hours a day on here (been there!) we might as well have some good music to listen to in the process haha Link to comment

You tell me that you're sorry Didn't think I'd turn around and say... That it's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you And I need you like a heart needs a beat (But that's nothing new) Yeah yeah I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue And you say "Sorry" like the angel, heaven let me think was you But I'm afraid... It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late Woahooo woah It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, a yeahah I said it's too late to apologize, a yeahah I'm holding on your rope Got me ten feet off the ground...

jakel Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Johnny Cash version (good tear jerker) I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stain of time The feeling disappears You are someone else I am still right here What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way Link to comment

He kept me hanging on for so many months after our first break up in this sort of a limbo- wouldn't let me go, but wouldn't commit to getting back together either. I can't tell you how many times I had this song on repeat through out that phase and just cried! Link to comment
Robin2904 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 This song holds so much significance for so many reasons- a lot more then just the obvious ones- that its a break up song. December was our month. It was the month we fell in love, met and I will always associate December with my ex. After the break up he also told me he heard this song on the radio and cried because he went back to December all the time, because it was when we fell in love.....and it really struck me because that wasn't the meaning of the song- but that was how I took it too. I can't listen to the song and not cry. Back to December- Taylor Swift I'm so glad you made time to see me How's life? Tell me, how's your family? I haven't seen them in a while You've been good, busier than ever We small talk, work and the weather Your guard is up, and I know why Because the last time you saw me Is still burned in the back of your mind You gave me roses, and I left them there to die So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine I go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December all the time These days, I haven't been sleeping Staying up, playing back myself leaving When your birthday passed, and I didn't call Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times I watched you laughing from the passenger side And realized I loved you in the fall And then the cold came, the dark days When fear crept into my mind You gave me all your love, and all I gave you was goodbye [- From removed[/i] -] So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile So good to me, so right And how you held me in your arms that September night The first time you ever saw me cry Maybe this is wishful thinking Probably mindless dreaming But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't So if the chain is on your door, I understand This is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine I go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time, all the time Link to comment
