I just heard this song this morning and...wow. It is a bit older, but is all about a cheating man...

 

Allure, All Cried Out

 

Some of the lyrics:

 

Leaving me all alone

Dont you know my tears will cause an inferno

Romance often fades

Why should I take the blame?

You were the one who left me neglected

Apology not accepted

Add me to the broken hearts you've collected

I gave you all of me

How was I to know

You would weaken so easily

Now Im all cried out

Over you

 

Man part of song:

Never wanted to see things your way

Had to go astray

Oh why was I such a fool

Now I see that the grass aint greener

Is it to late for me to find my way home

How could I be so wrong

Here are three from my husband with better theme for you

 

Loves me like Jesus

God gave me you

Hard to love

 

 

When they come on he grabs my hand and says I love you, thank you for allowing me to still be in your life-

Thanks Athens, I will check them out!

 

There is another song that is a bit more on the positive side that has become our theme song in a way...

 

Love by Musicsoulchild. It is a beautiful song.

 

It sounds like things are going great with your h. I am so happy for you. :)

 

Things are good with our r. I still have moments of anger and sadness, but he is showing me he is dedicated to us. :love: Its like falling in love all over again.

Good to hear from you too Kat! You were one that I connected with right at the start as I think we found out around the same time and have similar situations. It does my heart good to hear you are doing well. We are too, ups and downs for sure, but the conversations are calmer as we deal with the issues, it's not as raw as it was and yes, we are falling in love all over again.

So good to hear! Yes, we definitely have simularities. And even in the r process. :cool: It has been so good for me to be able to find that...I felt so alone in the beginning of this whole ordeal. I took a break from posting after the mods killed some threads, but I missed it!

This is a neat thread. Here is one for the men. I heard this obscure country song by Wanda Jackson from the 60's, I think, for the first time about a month ago. I have to laugh but I think it may have been a partial trigger for the flashbacks I started having last week. But I have to smile :)

 

It's called: The Dirt Behind My Years

 

It's over I filled our world with hurt

I cheated and I lied to you and piled up so much dirt

Now I'd lost the only one in life I held so dear

I slowly bury your love in the dirt behind my years

 

You had every right to leave as far as I'm concerned

You gave all your love to me got nothing in return

You tried and I'll bet you'll cry at least the million tears

But they just couldn't wash away the dirt behind my years

 

You had every right to leave as far as I'm concerned

You gave all your love to me got nothing in return

You tried and I'll bet you'll cry at least the million tears

But they just couldn't wash away the dirt behind my years

Those are some powerful lyrics...thank you for sharing them. I can see how they could trigger, and the painful memories of an A may fade, but never be completely gone. Especially when the ws really did love their spouse. I will be listening to this when I get the chance.

I have another 3 songs...this is more for those angry bs moments...I found they helped me in my anger...and are a bit humorous in a way...I think of them as anger venting songs...and they accompany a boxing session perfectly :p

 

1. Kelis - Caught out there

2. Jazmine Sullivan - Bust your windows

3. Rihanna - Breakin dishes

There's a song I mentioned in another thread that's not specifically about cheating, but about surviving the "storms" of life that affect relationships. It's called "Love's Recovery" by the Indigo Girls. In particular there's one phrase that I feel captures how I felt right after DDay when I had to figure out in the midst of this storm of emotion if there was a marriage left to save/worth saving:

 

Rain soaked and voice choked

Like silent screaming in a dream

I search for our absolute distinction

 

The song overall speaks to the value of fighting for your love/relationship.

I just heard another song I wanted to share...this would be for a bh..

Lately by Jodeci

originally by Stevie Wonder)

Lately I've had the strangest feeling

With no vivid reason here to find

But yet the thought of losing you been hanging

Around my mind

Far more frequently your wearing perfume

With you say the special place to go

But when I ask will you be coming back soon

You don't know never know

Chorus]

Oh I'm a man of many wishes

I hope my preminition misses

But what I really feel

My eyes wont let me hide

Cuz they always start to cry

Cuz this time could mean goodbye

Lately I've been staring in the mirror

And I'ts very slowly picking me apart

I've tried to tell myself I have no reason

With your heart

Now just the other night while you were sleeping

I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name

But when I ask you of the thought's your keeping

You just say nothing's changed

Well I'm a man of many wishes

I hope my premenition misses

But what I really feel

My eyes wont let me hide

Cuz they always start to cry

Cuz this time could mean goodbye

Miranda Lambert - White Liar

 

Hey white liar*

The truth comes out a little at a time*

And it spreads just like a fire*

Slips off of your tongue like turpentine

*And I don't know why

*White liar*

 

You better be careful what you do

*I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes

*If they ever found you out*

You better be careful what you say

*It never really added up any way

*I got friends in this town*

 

Hey white liar*

The truth comes out a little at a time

*And it spreads just like a fire*

Slips off of your tongue like turpentine*

And I don't know why*

White liar*

You said you went out to a bar

*And walked some lady to her car

*But your face has more to tell*

Cuz my cousin saw you on the street*

With a red head named Bernice*

Tirns out you don't lie too well

 

*Hey white liar*

The truth comes out a little at a time

*And it spreads just like a fire*

Slips off of your tongue like turpentine*

And I don't know why*

White liar*

 

Here's a bombshell just for you

*Turns out I've been lying too*

Yeah I'm a white liar

Um, heck yes it does! That would have had me curled up in the fetal position if I heard those lyrics around dday...very deep...and the silent screaming really gets to me...because that is EXACTLY how I felt, screaming and dying inside, but I had to keep on my game face for kids, for work.

 

Thank you for sharing.

 

And I have noticed that bs and ap could share MANY of the broken hearted love songs.

I wrote a song after H's words kept bouncing off my brain for a few days. His paltry "guess I should've known better" opened up so many angry retorts. I'd like to re-record some day full volume.

One of my favorite songs as BW was Mary J. Blige's "Not Gon Cry". Made me think if I wanted to be singing the same song 11 years into my M. No way!! I'd wasted enough time.

 

[Verse 1:]

While all the time that I was loving you

You were busy loving yourself

I would stop breathing if you told me to

Now you're busy loving someone else

Eleven years out of my life

Besides the kids I have nothing to show

Wasted my years a fool of a wife

I shoulda have left your ass long time ago

 

[Chorus:]

Well I'm not gon cry,

I'm not gon cry,

I'm not gon shed no tears

No, I'm not gon cry,

it's not the time

cuz you're not worth my tears

Well I'm not gon cry,

I'm not gon cry,

I'm not gon shed no tears

No, I'm not gon cry,

it's not the time,

cuz you're not worth my tears

 

[Verse 2:]

I was your lover and your secretary

Working every day of the week

Was at the job when no one else was there

Helping you get on your feet

Eleven years of sacrifice

And you can leave me at the drop of a dime

Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

 

[Chorus]

 

I know there are no guarantees

In love you take your chances

But somehow it seems unfair to me

Look at the circumstances

Through sickness and health 'till death do us part

Those were the words that we said from our hearts

So now when you say that you're leaving me

I don't get that part

 

[Repeat Verse 2]

 

[Chorus]

Omg yes!!!! I cant believe I forgot about that one! Even of your ws isnt leaving and is actually begging to stay, the words are emotional and brought tears to my eyes.

 

As a bs, and even with the downs in the marriage, I have always had my fwh back...and when I found out he had been cheating...for years, I crumbled. I have never felt such pain in my life...to know the extent he went to lie and etc...and how could I have been such a fool to not know? :( So yes, this song really resonates with me.

 

My anger and hurt was overwhelming, ugh.

 

Thank you for sharing this song! I love music, and feel that music can soothe the soul, even painful lyrics like this.

I know...music really helps me too. The reason this song resonated with me was the whole sacrifice thing. As a W you automatically put your H first in most things. Then as a mother, you definitely put the kids above everything else. Sometimes I felt bad that I missed my old single life because it put my loyalty and level of maternal instinct in question. But in truth, it can all get too much sometimes. Yet we get up in the morning and keep going.

 

Then the fool goes and f's around??? Just doing that is putting the family in jeopardy whether he is leaving or not! Argh! It pisses me off just remembering.:mad:

~ Evanescence.

 

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?

Leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb

Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there and lead it back home

 

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can’t wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

Bid my blood to run

(I can’t wake up)

Before I come undone

(Save me)

Save me from the nothing I’ve become

 

Now that I know what I’m without

You can't just leave me

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life

 

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can’t wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

Bid my blood to run

(I can’t wake up)

Before I come undone

(Save me)

Save me from the nothing I’ve become

 

Bring me to life

(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)

Bring me to life

 

Frozen inside without your touch

Without your love, darling

Only you are the life among the dead

 

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see

Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul

Don't let me die here

There must be something more

Bring me to life

 

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can’t wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

Bid my blood to run

(I can’t wake up)

Before I come undone

(Save me)

Save me from the nothing I’ve become

 

(Bring me to life)

I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside

(Bring me to life)

Here are the lyrics to "Love" by musicsoulchild...it is me and my h theme song, so to speak...;)

 

"Love"[Verse 1:]

LoveSo many things

I've got to tell you

But I'm afraid I don't know how

Cause there's a possibility

You'll look at me differently

 

Love

Ever since the first moment I spoke your name*

From then on I knew that by you being in my life

Things were destined to change cause......

 

[Hook:]

Love

So many people use your name in vain

Love

Those who faith in you sometimes go astray

Love

Through all the ups and downs the joy and hurt

Love

For better or worse I still will choose you first[

 

Verse 2:]Many days I've longed for you

Wanting you

Hoping for the chance to get to know you

Longing for your kiss

For your kiss, for your touch, for your essence (your beautiful essence)

Many nights I've cried from the things you do*

Felt like I could die from the thought of losing you

I know that you're real

With no doubt or no fears

Or no questions[

 

Hook:]

At first you didn't mean that much to me

But now I know that you're all I need

The world looks so brand new to me

*Now that I found love

Everyday I live for you

And everything that I do I do it for you

What I say is how I feel so believe it's true

You got to know I'm true, love

This song is possibly going to set someone off, but hey, its a real song and sometimes a song like this can get you feeling a bit stronger...anyways, this is Monica...Sideline Ho...

 

"Sideline Ho"

 

[Verse 1:]

When you called his phone, did he pick it up?

No, 'cause we was making love.

Did you meet his moms, have you met his kids?

No, oh, did you know my kid was his?

No, oh

 

.[Chorus:]

Get your s**t together

you're making a fool of yourself,

don't matter if he spends the night,

his home is somewhere else

Ain't you tired of being on the side line,

tired of getting yours after I get mine baby?

second place don't get a prize

when you gone realize

you're wasting your time

babyAin't you're tired of him

getting, hitting real quick, then rolling and

Ain't you're tired of when you need a little change

and he lies about what he holding?

Ain't you're tired of spending all the holidays alone,

tired of being his little sideline ho?

Do he take you out, do he foot your

bills, no oh,

'cause I know what his balance is

have you been to his church,do he ask you to pray,

no oh 'cause Sunday's Family day

 

[Chorus][bridge x2:]

Do you got benefits, no, credit cards,

no,

house keys,

no,

then youse a sideline ho

,do you get pillow talk,

no,

held at night

, no

,if you don't make his breakfast

then youse a sideline ho

Krazikat, Monica was definitely expressing the thoughts of a BW in that song!:confused: Isn't it true though that what pisses off a BW most (I don't know about the BH) is not the sexual contact per se? It does feel like one's WH has undone every good thing he ever did and taken back every promise he ever made.

 

Good thread, by the way!!!:)

It is all the lies that bothered me the most...the promise of never cheating, saying he would never cheat on me while he was, in fact, cheating. :mad:

 

So yes, it is about the promises, and the lies. I know that I would never cheat, and even after his A, I know I am not the kind of woman who could lie and cheat. My line of thinking in the situation is that I will not compromise my own morals.

 

But yes, finding out that your partner and "best friend" has betrayed you is devastating. It makes it feel as if it was all a lie. :(

 

I know my h loves me so much, and he shows me every day. But I have a feeling I will be looking at him sideways for a while.
