hiya people,

i'm in an american music class at my school and this was one of the songs we listened to in class - i just sat there in stunned silence because of how perfectly it fit my situation at the time. i figure that probably holds true for a lot of people trying to stick to NC or LC. i was having a really hard time coping (i live on the same campus as my ex) b/c i kept trying to hang out with him since we'd been best friends since before we started dating. i realized after about two months of this that it just made me miserable and i was clinging onto hope that i probably shouldn't be. so we're doing the very LC thing (i just told him i need more space). haven't seen him in person in about three weeks (?!) and have had two brief & to-the-point email convos during this period. i've been doing SO much better, though i do slip backwards (this weekend has been esp hard b/c i kept seeing him at my school's spring festival thingy, but avoided him...still i was thinking about him all day, still do today, and am pretty miserable).

 

ANYWAY...enough about me and my problems...here you go, perhaps someone else who uses music as a way of emotionally venting will enjoy it too

Patsy Cline - "I fall to pieces"

 

I fall to pieces

Each time I see you again

I fall to pieces

How can I be just your friend

 

You want me to act like we've never kissed

You want me to forget, pretend we've never met

And I've tried and Ive tried but I haven't yet

You walk by, and I fall to pieces

 

I fall to pieces

Each time someone speaks your name

I fall to pieces

Time only adds to the flame

 

You tell me to find someone else to love

Someone who'll love me, too, the way you used to do

But each time I go out with someone new

You walk by and I fall to pieces

 

(I fall to pieces)

Each time someone speaks your name

(I fall to pieces)

Time only adds to the flame

 

You tell me to find someone else to love

Someone who'll love me too, the way you used to do

But each time I go out with someone new

You walk by and I fall to pieces

 

 

I fall to pieces

Each time I see you again

I fall to pieces

How can I be just your friend

 

You want me to act like weve never kissed

You want me to forget, pretend weve never met

And Ive tried and Ive tried but I havent yet

You walk by, and I fall to pieces

 

I fall to pieces

Each time someone speaks your name

I fall to pieces

Time only adds to the flame

 

You tell me to find someone else to love

Someone wholl love me, too, the way you used to do

But each time I go out with someone new

You walk by and I fall to pieces

There are a gazillion whiney piney pathetic break up songs out there... (I think the music industry preys on the heartbroken), but there is only ONE song I've heard that pretty much says it all from a dumpee's point of view. From the Relationship, to the break up... to how the dumpee usually acts just after the breakup. The nc... the end...

 

Frank Sinatra "I'm gonna make it all the way"

(Imagine it in an upbeat style)

 

[COLOR=#FF9900]I cried the day you left me and I still don't know what kept me[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]From jumping off the highest bridge I know.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]My poor heart was breaking, I felt lower than a snake-in,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]That is just about the lowest you can go.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I finally stopped my drinking, fell down and started thinking,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]That it's no pay to relive yesterday.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I tried to hide my sorrow, started living for tomorrow,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I think I'm gonna make it all the way.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]You hurt me and abused me, took advantage of and used me,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I swear it almost made a wreck of me.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]When I needed your devotion, you were never in the notion[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]You were cold as any iceberg in the sea,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Love to you had lost its splendor, my pride went out the window,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]When you left me, I kept begging you to stay.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]But now my heart is healing, and I got a real good feeling,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I think I'm gonna make it all the way.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]My troubles came in bunches, I kept rolling with the punches,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]You'd shoot me down and I'd get back again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I tried to be your lover, in no time I did discover[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Your loving cup was not for me to win.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Your kisses weren't the same but I kept kinda fan the flame,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Till I just couldn't take another day,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]You can't blame me for trying, now I stopped my crying,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I think I'm gonna make it all the way.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I tried my best to take it, but my smiling face didn't make it,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]'Cause in my heart, I knew there was no hope,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Each place reminded me of the memories of your love,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]I've come right to the end of my rope.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]That's when I met my new friend, she's just as much a true friend,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Treats me like a lover here to stay.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]And it's working out so well now, you can go to hell now.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]This time I'm gonna make it all the way.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Yes, this time I'll make it all the way.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Yes. I think I'm gonna make it all the way,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#FF9900]Baby, get out of my way.[/COLOR]
