HokeyReligions Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 How about "Wipe Out" ? Seriously though, find some upbeat music - stuff you liked before you met her. Link to post Share on other sites

BBetsy Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I Don't Hurt Anymore - Dinah Washington (you might not be ready for it yet, but it's inspirational) One - U2 - or, my preference, U2 with Mary J. Blige. It tells 'em off. Cry Me A River - Justin Timberlake (I know, but wait til you hear it) Who I Am Hates Who I've Been - Relient K - also inspirational - tells you what an ass you're being and how you can't live your life this way Link to post Share on other sites
litfish Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I find that I am often humming "Float On" by Modest Mouse, or "In the Middle" by Jimmy Eat World when I want to pull myself out of a funk. They are really both songs that could be used to lift your spirits no matter what life circumstances might be getting you down. Link to post Share on other sites
Risky Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I don't know the name of it but it's by Adam Sandler. I think it was from the movie Wedding Singer. I love the part where he says the ony thing you did right is tell me that you loved me. Link to post Share on other sites

He's got a great voice and feels the pain with you. You are better off without her, that's what I keep telling myself. Link to post Share on other sites
BatteredByLove Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hrrm, I don't know if this is a song to get "over" them, but "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Rait, "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt, and "Letting Go" by Dawson's Creek, these are my favorites, it's like "letting go" on a good note, not one of them crazy angry ones lol. -BBL Link to post Share on other sites

Returning Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 How about this one by UK band 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 hands 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 ****in', just ****in' 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.
