LloydBrockman Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Murderer of Blue Skies by Chris Cornell, as it dictates my ex relationship And Pearl Jam's "Black" to name a couple. Love music too and have a catalogue of heartbreakers memorised. "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun in someone else's sky, but why can't it be mine?" Wrecks me every time. Link to comment
Clio Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in 'Cause I got time while she got freedom 'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even Her best days will be some of my worst She finally met a man that's gonna put her first While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping 'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK I'm falling to pieces, yeah, I'm falling to pieces They say bad things happen for a reason But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding 'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even, no What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you, And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK I'm falling to pieces, yeah, I'm falling to pieces, yeah, I'm falling to pieces (One still in love while the other ones leaving) I'm falling to pieces ('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven) Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain You took your suitcase, I took the blame Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh 'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in 'Cause I got time while she got freedom 'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break No it don't break No it don't breakeven no What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK (Oh glad your okay now) I'm falling to pieces yeah I'm falling to pieces yeah I'm falling to pieces (One still in love while the other ones leaving) I'm falling to pieces yeah ('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven) Oh it don't breakeven no Oh it don't breakeven no Oh it don't breakeven no Breakeven - The Script Once I replace "She" with "He" and reverse the sexes in the lyrics it hits very close to home Link to comment
superkatnip Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 This is the song that wrecks me most. It's been 4 years now since I lost my fiance in a car accident. I was in Afghanistan when I got the news. I stayed drunk for a solid month but I finally picked myself back up. I felt like this song was written for me. Now, I'm happy again and in a relationship with the perfect woman. It's hard to imagine finding perfection once much less but twice I am one lucky SOB... Grace is Gone by Dave Matthews Neon shines through smokey eyes tonight It's 2 a.m. I'm drunk again And it's heavy on my mind I could never love again So much as I love you Where you end, where I begin Is like a river running through Take my eyes, take my heart I need them no more If never again I fall upon the one I so adore (Chorus) Excuse me please, one more drink Could you make it strong Cause I don't need to think She broke my heart My grace is gone One more drink and I'll move on One drink to remember Then another to forget How could I ever dream to find Sweet love like you again One drink to remember Then another to forget Excuse me please, one more drink Could you make it strong Cause I don't need to think She broke my heart My grace is gone One more drink and I'll move on One more drink and I'll be gone You think of things impossible Then the sun refuse to shine I walk with you beside me Your cold hand lay in mine Excuse me please, one more drink Could you make it strong Cause I don't need to think She broke my heart My grace is gone One more drink and I'll go Excuse me please, one more drink Could you make it strong Cause I don't need to think She broke my heart My grace is gone One more drink and I'll move on One more drink and I'll be gone One more drink my grace is gone I'll never hear this song the same way again. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment

Jibralta Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think this is a beautiful song, about two people who love each other very much, but can't make it work: Separate Ways, by Journey Here we stand Worlds apart Hearts broken in two Sleepless nights Losing ground I'm reaching for you Feelin' that it's gone Can't change your mind If we can't go on To survive the tide Love divides Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched And went our separate ways If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched And went our separate ways Troubled times Caught between confusions and pain Distant eyes Promises we made were in vain In vain If you must go I wish you love You'll never walk alone Take care my love Miss you love Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched And went our separate ways If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched And went our separate ways Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you I still love you, girl I really love you, girl And if he ever hurts you True love won't desert you Link to comment
reinventmyself Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 this one is very poignant to me lately How Not To Dan + Shay I can honestly understand why it's over I can go through the motions of walking away I can give you the key and take my things back I can find plenty things to fill my days But I don't know how not to think about you When it's late at night and crying And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to You're like second nature, baby, you're just like breathin' A melody that you hear and you can't forget The time goes by and I still need you Yeah, you were at the heartbreak of no regret But I don't know how not to think about you When it's late at night and crying And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to I don't know how not to think about you When it's late at night and crying But I know that I ought to be the one who's strong and just moves on But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to Link to comment
Jibralta Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Another tear-jerker for me: Two out of Three Ain't Bad, by Meatloaf Baby we can talk all night But that ain't gettin us nowhere I told you everything I possibly can There's nothing left inside of me And maybe you can cry all night But that'll never change the way I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldn't make me leave here I poured it on and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much I care I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout But you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears And all I can do is keep on telling you I want you, I need you But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach You'll never drill for oil on a city street I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom Of a Cracker Jack box I can't lie, I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not No matter how I try I'll never be able to give you something Something that I just haven't got There's only one girl I'll ever love And that was so many years ago And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart She never loved me back, oh I know I remember how she left me on a stormy night She kissed me and got out of our bed And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door She packed her bags and turned right away And she kept on telling me I want you, I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad I want you, I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere Link to comment

Snny Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 right now listening to this song in memory of a friend who passed away... she introduced me to JPop. This song breaks me and appropriate way of saying Farewell... Ah, the fireworks in the night sky blossom so pretty Yet they're somewhat painful Ah, the wind blows in pace with time I was happy, it was fun We went on so many adventures inside our secret base I know that you yelled out "Thank you" to me from the bottom of your heart until the end Fighting back tears, I said goodbye with a smile It's painful, isn't it? Those were the best memories... I was lost amidst the sudden changes I'll write you letters, I'll call you as well Please don't forget about me We will always be inside our secret base The end of summer with you, we talked for so long While watching the view of the stars from sunset I'll never forget the tear that flowed onto your cheek You waved at me so large with your hands for me and I surely won't forget that So stay forever like this inside of my dreams Link to comment

Jibralta Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 This song REALLY gets me. Especially if I'm singing along. I think I get a hitch in my voice around the 6th stanza. Billy Joel In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows Link to comment
ParisPaulette Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Wow PP. Dealing with the same issue with my mom. Thank you for that. You're welcome. It's a wonderful song that comforts me on really bad days. My thoughts and prayers for you and your mom. Another current favorite is by Eric Church: Kill A Word If I could kill a word and watch it die I'd poison "never," shoot goodbye Beat "regret" when I felt I had the nerve Yeah, I'd pound "fear" to a pile of sand Choke "lonely" out with my bare hands I'd hang "hate" so that it can't be heard If I could only kill a word I'd take "brokeness" out back And break "heartbreak," stand there and laugh Right in its face while shootin' it the bird I'd put "upset" down in its place I'd squeeze the life out of "disgrace" Lay "over" under six cold feet of dirt If I could only kill a word If I could only kill a word Give me sticks, give stones Bend my body, break my bones Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay But if were up to me to change I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth" If I could only kill a word I'd knock out "temptation"'s teeth I'd sever "evil," let it bleed Then light up "wicked," stand and watch it burn I'd take "vice" and I'd take "vile" Tie 'em up there with "hostile" Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds If I could only kill a word So give me sticks, give stones Bend my body, break my bones Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay But if were up to me to change I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth" If I could only kill a word If I could only kill a word 1 Link to comment
superfan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 "Simon" By Lifehouse Catch your breath, Hit the wall, Scream out loud, As you start to crawl Back in your cage The only place Where they will Leave you alone. 'Cause the weak will Seek the weaker til they've broken them. Could you get it back again? Would it be the same? Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense, Left you with no defense; They tore it down. [Chorus And I have felt the same as you, I've felt the same as you, I've felt the same. Locked inside The only place Where you feel sheltered, Where you feel safe. You lost yourself In your search to find Something else to hide behind. The fearful always preyed upon your confidence. Did they see the consequence, when they pushed you around? The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones, Breaking them 'til they've become just another crown. [Chorus] Refuse to feel anything at all, Refuse to slip, Refuse to fall. Can't be weak, Can't stand still, You watch your back 'cause no one will. You don't know why they had to go this far, Traded your worth for these scars, For your only company. And don't believe the lies That they have told to you. Not one word was true you're alright, you're alright, you're alright. Link to comment

ParisPaulette Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I got to see him in concert in April. . Amazing! Instant envy! I adore the man. He also became my personal hero for his active stance against scalpers who try to buy up tickets to his concerts then jack the prices for everyone. Plus he also wrote Mr. Misunderstood, which is another favorite. Carrie Undersood's "Little Toy Guns" I wish more people would remember their bad relationship is having a negative affect on their children. In between the coats in the closet She held on to that heart shaped locket Staring at a family flawless But it ain't a pretty picture tonight Mom and daddy just won't stop it Fightin' at the drop of the faucet Cuts through the walls catastrophic She's caught in the crossfire Puts her hands over her ears Starts talking through the tears She's saying, she's praying. I wish words were like little toy guns No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang Rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns) Yeah, no smoke, no bullets No kick from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done (I wish words were like little toy guns) And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns) Wish there was a white flag waving Or that they were both just faking And it was just a game they were playing Like shoot'em up cowboys Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard Throw away the score card And just turn off all the noise. I wish words were like little toy guns No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang Rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns) Yeah, no smoke, no bullets No kick from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done (I wish words were like little toy guns) And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns) Oh I wish they didn't cut like a knife I wish they didn't break you inside I wish they didn't bang bang make you wanna run, yeah Like little toy guns No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang Rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns) Yeah, no smoke, no bullets No shot from the trigger when you pull it, no pain, no damage done (I wish words were like little toy guns) And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns) Oh like little toy guns "Concrete Angel" too, but that one is so hard to listen to I end up bawling my eyes out every time. I wish people would pay attention to it though, and its message. Forget about "Alyssa Lies" the first time I heard it I had to pull over to the side of the road and cry while my lion dog licked the tears from my face and tried to comfort me. Those are the lyrics and songs that get to me, really bad. Link to comment
