Same Old Love by Selena Gomez.

 

"Same Old Love"

 

Take away your things and go

You can't take back what you said, I know

I've heard it all before, at least a million times

I'm not one to forget, you know

 

I don't believe, I don't believe it

You left in peace, left me in pieces

Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees

Right now, 'ow

 

I'm so sick of that same old love, that ****, it tears me up

I’m so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough

Oh, (that same old love) [2x]

I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart

I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart

Oh, (that same old love) [2x]

 

I'm not spending any time, wasting tonight on you

I know, I've heard it all

So don't you try and change your mind

Cause I won't be changing too, you know

 

You can't believe, still can't believe it

You left in peace, left me in pieces

Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees

Right now, 'ow

 

I'm so sick of that same old love, that ****, it tears me up

I’m so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough

Oh, (that same old love) [2x]

I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart

I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart

Oh, (that same old love) [2x]

 

I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love [4x]

 

I'm so sick of that same old love, that ****, it tears me up

I’m so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough

Oh, (that same old love) [2x]

I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart

I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart

Oh, (that same old love) [2x]

You doin ho activities

With ho tendencies

Hos are your friends, hoes are your enemies

With ho energy to do whacha do

Blew whacha blew

Screw whacha screw

Yall professional like DJ Clue, pullin on my coat tail

an why do you think you take a ho to a hotel?

Hotel everybody, even the mayor

Reach up in tha sky for tha hozone laya

Come on playa once a ho always

And hos never close they open like hallways

An heres a ho cake for you whole ho crew

an everybody wants some cuz hoes gotta eat too

 

[chorus x2]

 

[Ludacris]

Cant turn a ho into a housewife

Hos dont act right

Theres hos on a mission, an hoes on a crackpipe

Hey ho how ya doin, where ya been?

Prolly doin ho stuff cuz there you ho again

Its a ho wide world, that we livin in

feline, feminine, fantastical, women

Not all, just some

You ho who you are

Theres hoes in tha room, theres hoes in tha car

theres hoes on stage, theres hoes by tha bar

hos by near, an hos by far

Ho! (But can i getta ride?!)

NO! (Cmon, nigga why?!)

Cuz youza

 

[chorus 2x]

 

[Ludacris]

You gotta run in your pantyhos

Even your daddy knows

but hos dont feel so sad and blue

cuz most of us niggaz is hos too

I've really tried to stay away from music since the break up, the last thing I want right now is to be chugging out tears, me and my ex didn't really have a song per say, it was more of a melody, it was called the treasure which cannot be stolen from the Xenogears soundtrack, listening to that track, I picture someone with a kind soul and a gentle delicate touch, exactly how I felt about the ex, I can't listen to it now though, it would crush my soul.

Found better lyrics:

 

[Eminem:]

Said you want a little company

And I love it cause the thrill’s cheap

Said you left him for good this time

Still if he knew I was here, he’d wanna kill me

But it’s time you met the real me, filthy

But wasn’t always, will be

Your pill refill, feeling I’ll still be

Your addiction, you can touch a prescription, but don’t fill me

I let you see my dark side, but like a mic check, you got one too

So when the sparks fly, we hit the flight deck and got sprung, pew

Like an ejector seat, from an F-15

But tonight we don't need those pills, just the effects of each other

But we gon' film cause I will want your ex to see

(Get it?) that...

 

I only call you when it's half past five

The only time that I'll be by your side

I only love it when you touch me, not feel me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me, yeah

I only **** you when it's half past five

The only time I'd ever call you mine

I only love it when you touch me, not feel me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me, babe

 

[Eminem:]

And every time he hurt you, I heard you

Your shoulder to cry on

And I’ll be damned if I weren't who you turned to

You said he drove you to my arms

But don’t you know, remember when I told you

I would never let down my guard

And I hope you feel like dirt when I hold you

Cause is it really over?

But you just want a little company

And you just really wanna thrill seek

Said you left him for good this time

Bull****, what your friends do, spill beans?

Or you just wanna be guilt free and still creep

But these hills see, from that POV

We can touch but the only way you’ll film me

Is with a camera, feel me?

You’re nothing but a barfly

You got your sights set on the one who you run to

But I’m a far cry from what you might get, if we come true

So keep texting me, but at night, if you seek those thrills

What I expect to be?

Cause if you cheat on him just means I will be the next to be

Your ex, so no complexities, just sex

And don’t lecture me, just accept that...

 

I only call you when it's half past five

The only time that I'll be by your side

I only love it when you touch me, not feel me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me, yeah

I only **** you when it's half past five

The only time I'd ever call you mine

I only love it when you touch me, not feel me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me, babe

 

Hills have eyes, the hills have eyes

Who are you to judge, who are you to judge?

Hide your lies, girl, hide your lies

Only you to trust, only you

 

I only call you when it's half past five

The only time that I'll be by your side

I only love it when you touch me, not feel me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me, yeah

I only **** you when it's half past five

The only time I'd ever call you mine

I only love it when you touch me, not feel me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me

When I'm ****ed up, that's the real me, babe

"Paid In Full"

 

I was nowhere near ready when all it ended

So I hoped we could find a new day, cannot live without you

 

You gave me the chance, time and again, in vain

Now my feelings for you, every tear, every smile, paid in full

Break the chain, but no longer can I take the pain

 

It's hard for me to love myself right now,

I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you

 

Needed to be strong, yet I was always too weak

So I can only blame myself for this state we are in

I will take what you have for me now, if it's not too late

Did you change? I did too. Love can grow from the last grain

 

It's hard for me to love myself right now,

I've waited, hated, blamed it all on...

 

You...

I need you...less and less...

Every day feeds this moral decay

Yet I have grown to love you even more

 

I fall back, and I turn another cheek.

You mouth the words you're not ready to speak

You're scared of me now; no I never had a clue

That I'd become so much stronger than you.

 

I will take - what you have - for me now, if it's not too late

 

If you like, I will leave; I will not miss the last train again

 

It's hard for me to love myself right now,

I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you...

 

It's hard for me to love your face right now

I'm waiting, hating, needing being

 

Me...

I need you...less and less...

Every day leads us farther away...

From that moment

 

It hard for me to hate myself right now

Finally I'm understanding me

One day we may have whole new me's and you's

But first I need to learn to love me too...

Pretty much 90% of Country songs hahaha... In particular, Gord Bamford's "Don't let her be gone" and Chris Young's "I know a guy" perfectly describe my feelings right now.

She's Gone - by Hall and Oats. Especially since I don't know why she left.

 

Everybody's high on consolation

Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me

My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon

But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me

 

Sorry Charlie for the imposition

I think I've got it, got the strength to carry on

I need a drink and a quick decision

Now it's up to me, ooh what will be

 

She's gone, oh I, oh I'd

Better learn how to face it

She's gone, oh I, oh I'd

Pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, what went wrong

 

Get up in the morning look in the mirror

I'm worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand

My face ain't looking any younger

Now I can see love's taken her toll on me

 

She's gone, oh I, oh I'd

Better learn how to face it

She's gone, oh I, oh I'd

Pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, what went wrong

 

Think I'll spend eternity in the city

Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away

And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories

But they can never be what she was to me

 

She's gone, oh I, oh I'd

Better learn how to face it

She's gone, oh I, oh I'd

Pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, what went wrong

 

She's gone, oh I, oh I'd

Better learn how to face it

She's gone (she's gone)

I can't believe that she's gone, oh I

I'd pay the devil to replace her

She's gone oh I, oh I'd

Better learn how to face it

She's gone (she's gone)

I can't believe that she's gone, oh I

I'd pay the devil to replace her

She's gone (she's gone)

She's gone (she's gone)

She's gone (she's gone)

She's gone (she's gone)

She's gone

"Fine"

 

It's gonna rain like this for days,

I'm gonna drown in my old ways,

But I'm fine.

I'm fine.

 

It's gonna hurt like hell

When you pull back the hammer and fire,

But I'm fine

I'm fine.

 

You see a storm knocked out my super power,

Now I sleep through thundershowers.

Wake me when you learn to be cool.

If I'm the captain of this boat then all my shipmates are fools.

And all the the stars in the world couldn't help me steer my way out of this kiddie pool.

 

I'm gonna wake up from these dreams

With nightmares lined up on my street,

But I'm fine.

I'm fine.

 

Needed a hand to keep my head up

So you put hooks in both my ears,

And I'm fine.

I'm fine.

 

Yeah it's a chronic pain in my ass but no, it's not a burden.

It's ironic that I drink to make my insides stop hurting.

And it's love that gives me heartburn,

It's a song that makes my stomach turn,

And I wouldn't trade my hand for all the aces in the deck.

 

'Cause I'm fine

'Cause I'm fine

I'm fine

I'm fine

I'm fine

The feel again -Blue October ,,,beautiful song and relatable

 

I see the sun go down on the river

I feel the wind blow, I would've stayed to gray

I feel the air around you, it's kinda closing in

Do you feel it fall or do you feel at all? I can.

 

I see the world keep moving as I stumble

They seem to move much faster than me

And while I sit in my four cornered room, dividing hearts for our little girl

While I can't be anything but who I am

 

And I wish you'd stay

Well that was the beginning of the two of us, the start of our show

Stay stay stay

No I would never have let go

 

And I see the sun go up as your image

And I feel the weight of your eyes as you stare

I feel it all when you, when you first, when you kissed my lips

You used to make me feel at home, you made me feel at home, you made me feel again

 

Oh that's when you used to say will you stay and not let go

That was just the two of us to think about, the stars of our show

And you would say I wish you'd stay and I'd never go

Oh I would never have let go!

 

So take this heart of mine

You've taken it a hundred thousand times

But this time, this time I'm gonna take it with me

 

I see the door close down behind you

I watch your face turn from glow to straight gray

I see the moon go up and it shines this glory on my face

Who will know? Who will know? Who will know!

How we would stay and we should stay and never go

There's just three of us to think about now in our show, our show, our show

And I think we'd stay, we'd just stay, and then we'd know

That we should never let go oh oh

Something to think about oh... in our heart of hearts

Just look into those big brown eyes and you'd just fall apart

Maybe we should stay, we should stay, at least she'd know

That we should never have let go

No, no, let go, go... oh

 

I wish you'd have stayed

I wish you'd have stayed...

 

 

Pretty much me now

Since my breakup, this is the song i have listen the most.

Surprisingly, i have always loved the Walkmen and have great memories of one vacation we took together, where we listened to the one of their albums over and over again - You & Me, amazing amazing album - but had never payed any attention to this song.

 

The Walkmen - We Can't Be Beat

 

 

Great song, so meaningful.

My breakup song has always been If I Ever Feel Better by Phoenix.

 

They say an end can be a start

Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive

It's like a bad day that never ends

I feel the chaos around me

A thing I don't try to deny

I'd better learn to accept that

There are things in my life that I can't control

 

They say love ain't nothing but a sore

I don't even know what love is

Too many tears have had to fall

Don't you know I'm so tired of it all

I have known terror dizzy spells

Finding out the secrets words won't tell

Whatever it is it can't be named

There's a part of my world that' s fading away

 

You know I don't want to be clever

To be brilliant or superior

True like ice, true like fire

Now I know that a breeze can blow me away

Now I know there's much more dignity

In defeat than in the brightest victory

I'm losing my balance on the tight rope

Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please

 

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

 

Hang on to the good days

I can lean on my friends

They help me going through hard times

But I'm feeding the enemy

I'm in league with the foe

Blame me for what's happening

I can't try, I can't try, I can't try

 

No one knows the hard times I went through

If happiness came I miss the call

The stormy days ain't over

I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost

Now I've watched all my castles fall

They were made of dust, after all

Someday all this mess will make me laugh

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait

 

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

 

It's like somebody took my place

I ain't even playing my own game

The rules have changed well I didn't know

There are things in my life I can't control

I feel the chaos around me

A thing I don't try to deny

I'd better learn to accept that

There's a part of my life that will go away

 

Dark is the night, cold is the ground

In the circular solitude of my heart

As one who strives a hill to climb

I am sure I'll come through I don't know how

They say an end can be a start

Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive

 

I'm losing my balance on the tight rope

Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please

 

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

 

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

 

If I ever feel better

Remind me to spend some good time with you

You can give me your number

When it's all over I'll let you know

 

It's such a "phoenix rising from the ashes" sort of song. Very fitting for the band name. :)

Ummm...

 

I don't know what I have. It's not a "relationship", but a lot of push/pull. Sometimes I guess you can say I break off and try to get away from it, but get pulled back in. I don't know what to make of it. So, I guess this is my "break-up" song cuz I don't know. What more can I do is just to step away until he makes up his mind...in the meantime I'll be fine, I'm gonna just have to move on. And yea, like the song, I don't get why he makes it so hard - if he wants to be with me, then be with me and stop all of the back/forth - push/pull - cat/mouse.

 

This is Anouk's "Don't"

 

"Don't"

 

No hurry, I'll be waiting

My baby, now don't you worry

I'll be fine

 

Just take your time

To make up your mind

Draw a line

Or flip a dime

Waiting for you

 

It's easy, if you want to please me

Don't tell me maybe

Come back home complete me

 

No strings attached

That's a promise I can't keep

So I waste my time

With lazy crazy dreaming

A sparkling wine

A twist of lime

A whiskey soda, hole in time

When you're not here

 

Don't say you're sorry

Don't say it

No

Don't say you're sorry

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

"The Ice Is Getting Thinner"

 

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be.

The seasons have changed and so have we.

There was little we could say, and even less that we could do

To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.

 

We bury our love in the wintery grave

A lump in the snow was all that remained.

But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks

And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak.

 

And when the spring arrived

We were taken by surprise when the floes under our feet bled into the sea

And nothing was left for you and me.

 

We're not the same, dear,

And it seems to me

There's nowhere we can go

With nothing underneath.

And it saddens me to say

What we both knew was true

That the ice was getting thinner

Under me and you.

The ice was getting thinner

Under me and you.

from her perspective;

'When i was your man' by Bruno Mars - perfect

 

from my perspective;

'the stranger' by billy Joel

 

After the separation, how i feel;

'One', by Metallica.... if love is a battlefield, then its a pretty damn good description of what is left once the war is done with you! lol

 

I thought "when i was your man" was unrealistic to ever represent a guy's POV...But I guess I was wrong. I really hope that one day my ex would wake up and come to the same realization.
