AnotherSadSong Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 This is a beautiful song by Pearl Jam that for me tells the two sides to an affair story and ending through both sides: NOTHING MAN Once divided...nothing left to subtract... Some words when spoken...can't be taken back... Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking... Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking... Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go... Nothingman... (2x) Isn't it something? Nothingman... She once believed...in every story he had to tell... One day she stiffened...took the other side... Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell... One just escapes...one's left inside the well... And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh... Nothingman... (2x) Isn't it something? Nothingman... Oh, she don't want him... Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away... Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun... Burn...burn... Nothingman... (2x) Isn't it something? Nothingman... Nothingman... (2x) Coulda' been something... Nothingman... Oh...ohh...ohh... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LovelyBrown Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 YES! This song says it all: Beautifully Unfinished by Ella Henderson Sunday raindrops Clock goes tick, tock I hate myself for staring at the phone Kept all your texts, can’t erase them I’d call you up but I know you’re not alone I know that I should not hold on So why can’t I let go ‘Cause every time I’m with you Somehow I forget to breathe You got me like a rag doll Now I’m dancing on your string And I keep trying to figure out who you are to me But maybe all that we were meant to be Is beautifully unfinished Beautifully unfinished You left your kiss like a bruise on my lips Your fingerprints are tattooed on my skin And hush now don’t cry, build your walls high And don’t you dare come creeping in ‘Cause you’re the one that I can’t lose You’re the one that I can’t win ‘Cause every time I’m with you Somehow I forget to breathe You got me like a rag doll Now I’m dancing on your string And I keep trying to figure out who you are to me But maybe all that we are meant to be Is beautifully unfinished And I hate you and I love you And I wish you’d go away And I hate you and I love you And I wish that you would stay ‘Cause every time I’m with you Somehow I forget to breathe You got me like a rag doll Now I’m dancing on your string And I keep trying to figure out who you are to me But maybe all that we are meant to be Oh, beautifully unfinished We’re beautifully unfinished Also, the new Believe by Mumford and Sons 3 Link to post Share on other sites
inappfriendly Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Actually that's funny, AnotherSadSong. Not Haha funny. Curiously funny. ALL Pearl Jam songs still tear at my soul. Some more than others, for sure. That one in particular. Just got Sirius radio in a new car and discovered the Pearl Jam station. BRUTAL. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tread Carefully Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I like this one by Lifehouse. It's called Storm. How long have I been in this storm? So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form Water's getting harder to tread With these waves crashing over my head If I could just see you Everything would be all right If I'd see you This darkness would turn to light And I will walk on water And you will catch me if I fall And I will get lost into your eyes I know everything will be alright I know everything is alright I know you didn't bring me out here to drown So why am I ten feet under and upside down Barely surviving has become my purpose Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface If I could just see you Everything would be all right If I'd see you This darkness would turn to light And I will walk on water And you will catch me if I fall And I will get lost into your eyes And I know everything will be alright 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author AnotherSadSong Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 LovelyBrown! Mumford and Sons "Little Lion Man" I forgot about this one. Perfect for the MM at the end: Little Lion Man Weep for yourself, my man, You'll never be what is in your heart Weep, little lion man, You're not as brave as you were at the start Rate yourself and rake yourself Take all the courage you have left And waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really ****ed it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my... Tremble for yourself, my man, You know that you have seen this all before Tremble, little lion man, You'll never settle any of your scores Your grace is wasted in your face, Your boldness stands alone among the wreck Now learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really ****ed it up this time Didn't I, my dear? But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really ****ed it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my dear? [harmonizing] But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really ****ed it up this time Didn't I, my dear? But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really ****ed it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my dear? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author AnotherSadSong Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Mumford and Sons, The Cave, is also a great NC song. Leave them in their destruction while you move on and learn from the experience, and finding your way, a better way! Their CDs definitely going in the drive. I will wait for you by them is also a finding yourself song....waiting on forgiveness from whomever you believe in that is greater.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bentleychic Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 "Not Strong Enough" Apocalyptica (feat. Brent Smith of Shinedown) I'm not strong enough to stay away. Can't run from you I just run back to you. Like a moth I'm drawn in to your flame, Say my name, but it's not the same. You look in my eyes, I'm stripped of my pride. And my soul surrenders, and you bring my heart to it's knees. [Chorus:] And it's killin' me when you're away, I wanna leave and I wanna stay. And I'm so confused, So hard to choose. Between the pleasure and the pain. And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right. Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind. And I'm not strong enough to stay away I'm not strong enough to stay away What can I do I would die without you In your presence my heart knows no shame I'm not to blame Cause you bring my heart to it's knees [Chorus] There's nothing I can do My heart is chained to you And I can't get free Look what this love's done to me [Chorus] Not strong enough, strong enough Not strong enough, strong enough To stay away Not strong enough, strong enough Not strong enough, strong enough I'm not strong enough to stay away 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Nolagirl1214 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The Outfield - "Your Love" It was pretty fitting because when things started getting deeper, his wife was out of town and the first verse to the song made me laugh out loud (not really funny, I know. The irony was just too much). Now every time I hear it, I think of him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

still_an_Angel Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 "Clarity" by Zedd High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again 'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity? Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you 'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?

Doublegold Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Pearl Jam and Mumford are the best. While not an affair song--'Black" by PJ is all about heartbreak. I'm gonna go with Duffy's Stepping Stone. Saw her live with Coldplay on tour. Incrediable Soul Singer. I remember, way back, way back when I said I never wanna see your face again Cause you were loving, yes you loving somebody else And I knew, oh, yes I knew I could control myself And now they bring you back into my life again And so I put on a face just like a friend But I think you know, oh yes you know what's going on Cause the feelings of me, oh yes of me are burning strong But I will never be your stepping stone Take it all or leave me alone I will never be your stepping stone I'm standing upright on my own You used to call me up from time to time And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line The words of love lay on my lips just like a curse And I knew, oh yes I knew it would only make it worse And now you have the nerve to play along Just like the maestro beats in his song You get your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me And the less you give, the more I want so foolishly But I will never be your stepping stone Take it all or leave me alone I will never be your stepping stone I'm standing upright on my own No I will never be your stepping stone Take it all or leave me alone I will never be your stepping stone I'm standing upright on my own Never be your stepping stone Take it all or leave me alone I will never be your stepping stone I'm standing upright on my own 2 Link to post Share on other sites
