look2thestars Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'm sure some of you know it...25 to life by Eminem. My ex, after me trying to get him back, eventually said "Here, listen to this song. This is exactly how i feel about you. Now do not contact me ever again". Of course, i did after that...but well, you guys know the story of how we've been NC since Jan. and blah blah. But I've been listening to this song today and now my mind is reeling. How would you guys have felt? How would you think your ex is feeling? Is this song, even though i thought it was very harsh, a way of him saying he was really hurt? Or just a way for him to hurt me? Any thoughts would be great. Here are the lyrics (there was a lot of swearing so i had to delete them): I don't think she understands the sacrifices that I made Maybe if this (b word) had acted right I would've stayed But I've already wasted over half of my life I would've laid Down and died for you I no longer cry for you No more pain (b word) you Took me for granted took my heart and ran it straight into the planet Into the dirt I can no longer stand it Now my respect I demand it Imma take control of this relationship Command it, and imma be the boss of you now godd***it And what I mean is that I will no longer let you control me So you better hear me out this much you owe me I gave up my life for you, totally devoted to you while I've stayed Faithful all the way this is how I (f,ing word) get repaid Look at how I dress (f,ing word) baggy sweats, go to work a mess Always in a rush to get back to you I ain't heard you yet Not even once say you appreciate me I deserve respect Ive done my best to give you nothing less than perfectness And I know that if I end this I'll no longer have nothing left But you keep treating me like a staircase it's time to (f,ing word) step And I wont be coming back so don't hold your (f,ing word) breath You know what you've done no need to go in depth I told you, you'd be sorry if I (f,ing word) left Id laugh while you wept Hows it feel now, yeah, funny ain't it, you neglected me Did me a favor although my spirit free you've set But a special place for you in my heart I have kept It's unfortunate but it's, [Chorus] Too late for the other side Caught in a chase 25 to life Too late for the other side Caught in a chase 25 to life [Verse 2] I feel like when I bend over backwards for you all you do is laugh Cause that ain't good enough you expect me to fold myself in half Til I snap Don't think I'm loyal All I do is rap How can I moonlight on the side I have no life outside of that Don't I give you enough of my time You don't think so do you Jealous when I spend time with the girls Why I'm married to you still man I don't know But tonight I'm serving you with papers I'm divorcing you Go marry someone else and make em famous And take away their freedom like you did to me Treat em like you don't need them and they ain't worthy of you Feed em the same (s word) you made me eat I'm moving on forget you oh, Now I'm special? Oh, I didn't feel special when i was with you All I ever felt was this Helplessness Imprisoned by a selfish (b word) Chew me up and spit me out I fell for this so many times It's ridiculous And still I stick with this I'm sick of this but in my sickness and addiction You're as addictive as they get Evil as they come vindictive as they make em My friends keep asking why I can't just walk away from I'm addicted To the pain, the stress, the drama I'm drawn in so I guess imma mess Cursed and blessed But this time imma Ain't changing my mind I'm climbing out this abyss You screaming as I walk out that I'll be missed But when you spoke to people who meant the most to you You left me off your list (f word) you hip-hop I'm leaving you, my life sentence is served * * * * * And it's just...To Late Link to comment
iBroken Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Sounds like he is trying to remind you that you guys are not getting back together. Harsh? Maybe, dunno, not really. But I guess this was his reaction after you tried to bring him back when he didnt want to be there. Link to comment
look2thestars Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 This was in Jan when he sent me this song. We have been NC ever since. Don't know if that matters. Link to comment
Iakasot Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 This was in Jan when he sent me this song. We have been NC ever since. Don't know if that matters. From listening to the song, it sounds like you were controlling and abusive and he needed to get away from you. Link to comment
look2thestars Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 actually...he was the abusive one. Physically, emotionally and abusive. And we were both controlling. We both hurt each other a lot and i dont deny that we should probably be apart...i guess he just had more strength than i did to leave. Link to comment
Iakasot Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I read a previous topic you posted, and you were emotionally abusive towards him. So you were both abusive from what I can see. This is just from hearing YOUR side of the story though, we haven't even heard his...besides this song. I'm sure he'd have a lot more to say. Just accept it's over and that you've made mistakes, move on and don't make them again in the next one. That seems to be what he's doing, isn't it? Link to comment
behindblueyes Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The lyrics are pretty self explanatory. Link to comment
