Your break up- As a song?

[dreamingwithabrokenheart]

Keith Urban - You'll Think of Me

 

"You'll Think Of Me"

 

I woke up early this morning around 4am

With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate

I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep

But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake

Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms

I've been tryin' my best to get along

But that's OK

There's nothing left to say, but

 

Take your records, take your freedom

Take your memories I don't need'em

Take your space and take your reasons

But you'll think of me

And take your cap and leave my sweater

'Cause we have nothing left to weather

In fact I'll feel a whole lot better

But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

 

I went out driving trying to clear my head

I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left

I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this

And all the baggage that seems to still exist

It seems the only blessing I have left to my name

Is not knowing what we could have been

What we should have been

So

 

Take your records, take your freedom

Take your memories I don't need'em

Take your space and take your reasons

But you'll think of me

And take your cap and leave my sweater

'Cause we have nothing left to weather

In fact I'll feel a whole lot better

But you'll think of me

 

Someday I'm gonna run accross your mind

Don't worry, I'll be fine

I'm gonna be alright

While you're sleeping with your pride

Wishing I could hold you tight

I'll be over you

And on with my life

 

So take your records, take your freedom

Take your memories I don't need'em

And take your cap and leave my sweater

'Cause we have nothing left to weather

In fact I'll feel a whole lot better

But you'll think of me

 

So take your records, take your freedom

Take your memories I don't need'em

Take your space and all your reasons

But you'll think of me

And take your cap and leave my sweater

'Cause we got nothing left to weather

In fact I'll feel a whole lot better

But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah

 

And you're gonna think of me

Oh someday baby, someday

Michael Buble - Home

 

Another summer day

Has come and gone away

In Paris and Rome

But I wanna go home

Mmmmmmmm

 

Maybe surrounded by

A million people I

Still feel all alone

I just wanna go home

Babe I miss you, you know

 

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you

Each one a line or two

“I’m fine baby, how are you?”

Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough

My words were cold and flat

And you deserve more than that

 

Another aeroplane

Another sunny place

I’m lucky I know

But I wanna go home

Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

 

Let me go home

'Cause I’m just too far from where you are

I wanna come home

 

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life

It’s like I just stepped outside

When everything was going right

And I know just why you could not

Come along with me

That this is not your dream

But you always believed in me

 

Another winter day has come

And gone away

In even Paris and Rome

And I wanna go home

Let me go home

 

And I’m surrounded by

A million people I

Still feel all alone

Oh, let me go home

Oh, I miss you, you know

 

Let me go home

I’ve had my run

Baby, I’m done

I gotta go home

Let me go home

It will all be all right

I’ll be home tonight

I’m coming back home

[silentalways]

God, I feel like hell tonight

Tears of rage I cannot fight

I'd be the last to help you understand

Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right

So let me be alone tonight

Cause you can't change the way I am

Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me

I promise I'll believe

Lie to me

But please don't leave

I have a face I cannot show

I make the rules up as I go

Just try and love me if you can

Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I've shown you that I just don't care

When I'm throwing punches in the air

When I'm broken down and I can't stand

Will you be MAN ENOUGH to be my man?

Lie to me

I promise I'll believe

Lie to me

But please don't leave

I woke up and called this morning

The tone of your voice was a warning

That you don't care for me anymore

I made up the bed we sleep in

I looked at the clock when you creep in

It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone

Did you know when you go

It's the perfect ending

To the bad day I was just beginning

When you go all I know is

You're my favorite mistake

Your friends are sorry for me

They watch you pretend to adore me

But I'm no fool to this game

Now here comes your secret lover

She'd be unlike any other

Until your guilt goes up in flames

You're my favorite mistake

Well maybe nothin' lasts forever

Even when you stay together

I don't need forever after

It's your laughter won't let me go

So I'm holding on this way

Did you know, could you tell

You were the only one

That I ever loved

Now everything's so wrong

Did you see me walking by?

Did it ever make you cry?

You're my favorite mistake

You're my favorite mistake

You're my favorite mistake

Looking back, through the chapters of your life

Searching for a storyline

Cuz the one you're leading now is doing nothing for you

Say goodbye to your friends and the ones who love you

Moving on

JJ's song has been pushing you along

Gypsy man on a one night stand

Moving to the night far from the lights

On an asphalt path drifting over the white line

Gypsy man nobody knows

Cocaine cowgirl, she's out catching eyes

On the other end of the desert sky

Taking you down to the dark side of town

A dark side of town

Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows

Looking back, through the chapters of your life

Searching for a storyline

Cuz any line is a good time for you

Living what the World's been writing for you

Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows

Cuz any line is a good time for you

Living what the world has written for you

Gypsy man nobody knows

Cuz any line is a good time for you

Living what the world has written for you

Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

AUTHORITY ZERO LYRICS

 

"Courage"

 

So you say you're on your own

And nothing's going right

Fist to fist and heart to heart

You get back up and fight

 

And now...

Your torn like a flag on a battleground

Stepped on and beaten down

But somehow, yes somehow

You still manage, yeah you manage to survive

Manage to survive.

 

[Chorus

Yeah it's your courage

Take 'em on, take 'em out

Take a stand, take 'em out

It's your courage

Take 'em on, take 'em out

Take a stand, take 'em out

 

So now you're thinking it's the end

You're stuck in your self doubt

If a picture says 1000 words

Take 'em till your words run out

Well it's a new chapter in your life

Your broken soul, your broken bones

Your broken heart, your broken mind

But you still fight to make it right

In your broken soul, your broken bones

Your broken heart, your broken mind

But you still fight to make it right

 

[Chorus

Yeah it's your courage

Take 'em on, take 'em out

Take a stand, take 'em on

It's your courage

Take 'em on, take 'em out

Take a stand, take 'em out

 

It's last call, last chance

Let's line 'em up and make it last

Wide awake as the days go past

Make the call don't let it pass

[x4]

 

[Chorus

Yeah it's your courage

Take 'em on, take 'em out

Take a stand, take 'em on

It's your courage

Take 'em on, take 'em out

Take a stand, take 'em out

 

(Let's go Jerry!) [x8]

[sandyv]

Ya this song really says it all I think:

 

"Hate Me"

 

(If you're sleeping are you dreaming

If your dreaming are you dreaming of me?

I can't believe you actually picked me.)

 

(”Hi Justin, this is your mother, and it's 2:33 on Monday afternoon.

I was just calling to see how you ware doing.

You sounded really uptight last night.

It made me a little nervous, and a l... and... well... it made me nervous, it sounded like you were nervous, too.

I just wanted to make sure you were really OK,

And wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication.

You know I love you, and...

Take care honey

I know you're under a lot of pressure.

See ya. Bye bye”

 

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head

They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed

Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone

Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home

There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain

An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?

And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?

And will you never try to reach me?

It is I that wanted space

 

Hate me today

Hate me tomorrow

Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

 

Hate me in ways

Yeah ways hard to swallow

Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

 

I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with

The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again

In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night

While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight

You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate

You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take

So I’ll drive so * * * *ing far away that I never cross your mind

And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

 

Hate me today

Hate me tomorrow

Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

 

Hate me in ways

Yeah ways hard to swallow

Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

 

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave

Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made

And like a baby boy I never was a man

Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand

And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!”

Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be

And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”

 

Hate me today

Hate me tomorrow

Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

 

Hate me in ways

Yeah ways hard to swallow

Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

For you

For you

For you

 

[Children voices

If you're sleeping, are you dreaming,

if you're dreaming are you dreaming of me.

I can't believe you actually picked me

I'd say my main one is Your Sweet Voice, by The Reindeer Section. It goes through the three stages, relationship, broken hearted, and considering a friendship. It has some bitterness, but not too much. I really recommend it, it's on the album Son of Evil Reindeer.

 

Your sweet voice

Lets me know there is a choice

Please me slow

Oh, much more slowly than that

And when we danced

We danced warm cheek to cold cheek

A sideways glance

I knew you were looking at him

 

I can't call you a friend

'Cause when you left me here

You left me here to die

Don't worry I won't call you again

'Cause when I take a hint

I take it pretty hard

And when you broke my heart

You broke it into shards of glass

 

The telephone

Yells out at me to wake

I won't be blamed

For someone else's mistakes

It's your sweet voice

Sounding cheery and warm

It breaks my heart

And I summon up all my charm

 

Can I call you my friend?

'Cause it's been so long

Since we've talked

And I miss you

Don't worry I'm over you right now

So my feelings won't get in the way of it

Oh, I miss the way we talked about

The little things

 

 

There are a few others, some encapsulating our relationship scarily well (Through With You - Maroon5).

[wayner427]

Thanks for this Parsley!

 

I've never heard of Reindeer Section until now, and I see that the singer is also the one that sings for Snow Patrol, and I think they're great.

[i2oadi2unnei2]

I've never heard of this song until tonight and I love it... Tears were running down my eyes because I did have a bad day that day and when I got home all I wanted was a kiss and a hug, but instead, what I got was a "I think we need to stop dating."

 

Anyhow, Nickelback "how your remind me" and 3 doors down "Here without you" top my list...

[Foz]

i had a pretty hellish break up and one by U2 pretty much summed up how the whole break up made me feel!!

Rascal Flats - What Hurts the Most

 

Pretty much describes my situation right down to the last detail. We were together for almost 2 years and it took me losing her to finally realize what she truly meant to me and what she brought into my life. There were/still are so many things I need or want to say to her, but I just don't know if I can right now.

 

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

[Princess Blue]

This is by a New Zealand band called Elemeno P advice about letting go..

 

One left standing

 

Take a lesson from this heart

As it was broken

And I know you're torn apart

With what was spoken

 

But only if you could see

What is clear and dear to me

Take a lesson from this heart

 

One left standing is the

One left stranded is the

One left crying in the dark

 

And now it's clear to me

Just like this night can be

We sell ourselves so short

until we let it go

 

Take a lesson from this heart

As it was broken

And I know you're torn apart

 

So from one friend to a friend

Hearts break, they blend they

Mend

Take a lesson from this heart

 

One left standing is the

One left stranded is the

One left crying in the dark

 

And now it's clear to me

Just like this night can be

Well sell ourselves so short

until we let it go

 

So let it, let it go

[sasha_faye]

If I had to chose just ONE:

 

2gether - The Hardest Part of Breakin' Up (Is Getting Back Your Stuff)

 

ok ok, i'm being (slightly) facetious.

 

Outkast - "Hey Ya"

Garbage - "Special"

Mariah Carey - "Shake it Off"

Atmosphere - "F*** You, Lucy"

and (this is really depressing) Andre Nickatina - "Ayo for Yayo," because my ex and I broke up over his cocaine problem. It'shis life....It's one of the few rap songs to make me cry.

 

sorry, I listed like 5... I have the songs that make me cry, the songs that make me angry, and the songs that make me empowered.

[litoosh743]

This is "All Cried out" recently covered by Fink, original words by Alison Moyet.

Quick, easy and fullfilling healing for all of us, lets all find ourselves again eh? xxx

 

All Cried Out

You took your time to come back this time

The grass has grown under your feet

In your absense I changed my mind

And someone else is sitting in your seat

I know that I said that there'd be no-one else

I know that I said I'd be true

But baby - I burned Cupid's arrow

And here's the short and narrow

I've nothing left to offer you

 

'Cause I'm all cried out

You took a whole lot of loving for a handful of nothing

All cried out

It's hard to give you something when You're pushing and shoving me around

 

So don't look surprised there was no disguise

You know where I stood from the start

So stop - look around you

You're right back where I found you

Take back your cold and empty heart

 

You go your way

I'll go mine

I won't stay around here

Don't waste my time

 

All cried out...

[NorCaSpinna]

Just a little disclaimer...I do not by any means view ALL women as this but

 

 

"If you're having girl problems, I feel bad for you son,

I got 99 problems but a * * * * * ain't one"

 

-Jay Z - "99 Problems"

 

Needless to say it's been whats "blasting out my speakers"

[Parsley]

This wasn't a song I listened to so much, it's not really very close to my 'story' but it's a good one for when you do just need to be sad.

 

The Streets - Dry Your Eyes

 

In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round

I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground

Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down

World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown

Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us

I can change and I can grow or we could adjust

The wicked thing about us is we always have trust

We can even have an open relationship, if you must

I look at her she stares almost straight back at me

But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me

Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity

When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet

 

Dry your eyes mate

I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up

There's plenty more fish in the sea

Dry your eyes mate

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts

But you've got to walk away now

It's over

 

So then I move my hand up from down by my side

It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes

Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies

Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh

'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me

There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein'

It weren't supposed to be easy, surely

Please, please, I beg you please

She brings her hands up towards where my hand's rested

She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with

She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures

By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers

 

Dry your eyes mate

I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up

There's plenty more fish in the sea

Dry your eyes mate

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts

But you've got to walk away now

It's over

 

And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word

'Cause everythin's just gone

I've got nothin'

Absolutely nothin'

 

Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation

Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin'

Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in

Look into her eyes to make her listen again

I'm not gonna f*****', just f*****' leave it all now

'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow

And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down

You're well out of order now, this is well out of town

She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist

Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight

Turns around so she's now got her back to my face

Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away

 

Dry your eyes mate

I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up

There's plenty more fish in the sea

Dry your eyes mate

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts

But you've got to walk away now

It's over

 

I know in the past I've found it hard to say

Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight

But the more I pull on your hand and say

The more you pull away

 

Dry your eyes mate

I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up

There's plenty more fish in the sea

Dry your eyes mate

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts

But you've got to walk away now.

Never Yours by Tracy Chapman

but that would be my song

[virgo25]

Song which totally speaks to my experience with my ex...

 

Mary J. Blige-Enough Cryin'

 

Cause the sex was good you had my mind and I let you come back every time

You said you be there(in this relationship)

So many men(these men) think that all a girl(they think)needs is to be sold a dream but I want

for foreal

 

Don't wanna play house no more so dumb to think you gonna marry me

[bigheart09]

When I broke up with my ex in college, I listened to Sade. Over and Over again! She has the most amazing voice.

[Magic_star829]

For me the song that most applies for this relationship is " Behind these Hazel eyes" by Kelly Clarkson.... the words are exact!

 

Behind These Hazel Eyes"

 

Seems like just yesterday

You were a part of me

I used to stand so tall

I used to be so strong

Your arms around me tight

Everything, it felt so right

Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong

Now I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

 

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

 

I told you everything

Opened up and let you in

You made me feel alright

For once in my life

Now all that's left of me

Is what I pretend to be

So together, but so broken up inside

'Cause I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hangin' on

 

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

 

Swallow me then spit me out

For hating you, I blame myself

Seeing you it kills me now

No, I don't cry on the outside

Anymore...

 

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

 

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

[Parsley]

Behind these Hazel Eyes. Fits so well doesn't it? Only problem being I don't have Hazel eyes...:S

[Clarity]

Sometimes you think you're well on your way to recovery, but, at least for me, certain songs or lyrics have a way of taking you call the way back. Songs like this one, which I just heard for the first time recently, still leave a pit in my stomach, more than 5 months after the fact...

 

"The Brilliant Dance" by Dashboard Confessional

 

So this is odd,

the painful realization that has all gone wrong.

And nobody cares at all,

and nobody cares at all.

 

So you buried all your lover's clothes

and burned the letters lover wrote,

but it doesn't make it any better.

Does it make it any better?

And the plaster dented from your fist

in the hall where you had your first kiss

reminds you that the memories will fade.

 

So this is strange,

our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance

where nobody leads at all,

where nobody leads at all.

 

And the picture frames are facing down

and the ringing from this empty sound

is deafening and keeping you from sleep.

And breathing is a foreign task

and thinking's just too much to ask

and you're measuring your minutes by a clock that's blinking eights.

 

This is incredible.

Starving, insatiable,

yes, this is love for the first time.

Well you'd like to think that you were invincible.

Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time?

Well this is the last time.

[Murasaki]

For me, it was Under the Bridge by The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

 

Sometimes I feel

Like I dont have a partner

Sometimes I feel

Like my only friend

Is the city I live in

The city of angel

Lonely as I am

Together we cry

 

I drive on her streets

cause shes my companion

I walk through her hills

cause she knows who I am

She sees my good deeds

And she kisses me windy

I never worry

Now that is a lie

 

I dont ever want to feel

Like I did that day

Take me to the place I love

Take me all the way

 

Its hard to believe

That theres nobody out there

Its hard to believe

That Im all alone

At least I have her love

The city she loves me

Lonely as I am

Together we cry

 

I dont ever want to feel

Like I did that day

Take me to the place I love

Take me all the way

 

Under the bridge downtown

Is where I drew some blood

Under the bridge downtown

I could not get enough

Under the bridge downtown

Forgot about my love

Under the bridge downtown

I gave my life away

 

The song is actually about drug use, but I apply it to myself anyway. I resort to Linkin Park and Coheed for the more angry feelings.

Damien Rice - Rootless Tree

 

What I want from you is empty your head

They say be true, don't stay in your bed

We do what we need to be free

And it leans on me like a rootless tree

 

What I want from us is empty our minds

We fake the thoughts, and fracture the times

We go blind when we've needed to see

And this leans on me, like a rootless...

 

F*** you, f*** you, f*** you

And all we've been through

I said leave it, leave it, leave it

There's nothing in you

And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good

That you just let me out, let me out, let me out

Of this hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out

Hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out

 

What I want from this

Is learn to let go

No not of you

Of all that's been told

Killers re-invent and believe

And this leans on me, like a rootless...

 

F*** you, f*** you, f*** you

And all we've been through

I said leave it, leave it, leave it

There's nothing in you

And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good

That you just let me out, let me out, let me out

Of this hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out

Of this hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out

Hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out

Hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out, let me out

 

F*** you, f*** you, love you

And all we've been through

I said leave it, leave it, leave it

It's nothing in you

And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good

That you just let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out, let me out

 

Let me out, let me out, let me out

Hell when you're around

 

Let me out, let me out, let me out

Hell when you're around

 

Let me out, let me out, let me out

Hell when you're around

Travis - Driftwood

 

 

Everything is open

Nothing is set in stone

Rivers turn to oceans

Oceans tide you home

Home is where the heart is

But your heart had to roam

Drifting over bridges

Never to return

Watching bridges burn

 

You're driftwood floating underwater

Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces

Just driftwood, hollow and of no use

Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

 

Nobody is an island

Everyone had to go

Pillars turn to butter

Butterflying low

Low is where your heart is

But your heart has to grow

Drifting under bridges

Never with the flow

 

And you really didn't think it would happen

But it really is the end of the line

So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood

But you've been drifting for a long, long time

 

Everywhere there's trouble

Nowhere's safe to go

Pushes turn to shovels

Shovelling the snow

Frozen you have chosen

The path you wish to go

Drifting now forever

And forever more

Until you reach your shore

 

You're driftwood floating underwater

Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces

Just driftwood, hollow and of no use

Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

 

And you really didn't think it would happen

But it really is the end of the line

So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood

But you've been drifting for a long, long time

You've been drifting, for a long, long

Drifting for a long, long time

I have two songs, by the same artist, called HEM.

 

The first song is very sad and soulful, the the other song is about second-chances and reconciliations (for all those in N/C!!!!!)

 

HEM - Leave Me Here (sad song)

 

I should wake up this town - my heart's on fire

Main road and no one's around as the flames climb higher

I have been here before and I know the way

But love seemed sweeter and sure in the light of the day

 

So as I rise, I will reach for the livin'

And I'll say no prayer

Cuz tonight he brought me to heaven

And left me here

 

I could tell by his face - those two tired eyes

It's been a long night searching for grace, now the sun won't rise

Now I have been here before though I know I am lost

Cuz the same place that filled me with joy is just a road I crossed

Just a road I crossed

 

 

 

So as I rise, I will reach for the livin'

And I'll say no prayer

Cuz tonight he brought me to heaven

And left me here

 

So as I rise, I will reach for the livin'

And I'll say no prayer

Cuz tonight love feels nothing like heaven

Don't leave me here

 

HEM - He Came to Meet me (song about reconciliation)

 

He came to meet me

On some July morning

He said he missed me

He came without warning

We walked for half a day

Got lost in my neighborhood

Came back another way

Just like I knew we would

And he came to meet me

 

He had some stories

He knew a few of mine

I had not heard his voice

For such a long time

My mind would race a bit

Come back to where we stood

I could not keep hold of it

Although I knew I should

And he came to meet me

 

I'd seen this whole day

Like it was drawing near

Sometimes I'd pray for it

Sometimes I'd shake with fear

Sometimes the only thought

That kept me in the night

Was one that I'd forgot

In summer's blinding light

And he came to meet me

 

I wrote myself a song

I could not speak what I'd done

He could've been here all along

He could've been anyone

But there is no one who

Could wake my heart like this

Could break my world in two

I felt a suddenness

I felt a suddenness

The day fell completely still

The dream was a lot like this

But I never knew until

He came to meet me
