My Immortal by Evenescence

 

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

 

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

 

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

 

You used to captivate me

By your resonating life

Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me

 

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

John Mayer's -dreaming with a broken heart...so sad.....you roll out of bed..and onto the floor, wondering where you really there? Are you standing at my door? No your not, cause your gone gone gone gone gone.

 

I also love Dave Mathews Band-Stay or leave

 

Maybe different, but remember

Winters warm there you and I,

Kissing whiskey by the fire

With the snow outside

And when the summer comes

The river swims at midnight

Shiver cold

Touch the bottom, you and I,

with muddy toes

 

Stay or leave

I want you not to go

But you should

It was good, as good goes

Stay or leave

I want you not to go

But you did

 

Wake up naked drinking coffee,

Making plans to change the world

While the world is changing us...

It was good good love.

You used to laugh under the covers

Maybe not so often now

But the way I used to laugh with you

Was loud and hard

 

Stay or leave

I want you not to go

But you should

It was good as good goes

Stay or leave

I want you not to go

But you did

 

So what to do

With the rest of today's afternoons, hey

Isn't it strange how we change

Everything we did

Did I do all that I should

 

That I could'a done

 

Remember we used to dance

And everyone wanted to be

You and me

I want to be too

What day is this

Besides the day you left me?

What day is this

Besides the day you went?

 

So what to do

With the rest of the day's afternoons, hey

Well isn't it strange how we change

Everything we did

Did I do all that I could?

 

Remember we used to dance

And everyone wanted to be you and me

I want to be too

What day is this?

Besides the day you left me

What day is this?

I'm a fan of the game Rockband, Today I was playing "Roll with the Changes" by REO Speedwagon who I'm really not a fan of but that song is poweful...And yes I started crying like a little girl.

 

 

Gotta include Journey "Seperate Ways" and "Remember me".

 

 

 

Find myself all alone

In darkness without you

Now I can't turn away

From what I must do

You know I'd give my life for you

More than words can say

I've shown you how to love someone

I know you'll find a way

 

[Chorus:]

Say goodbye

Close your eyes

Remember me

Walk away

The sun remains

Remember me

 

I'll live on somewhere in your heart

You must believe

Remember me

 

No way I can change my mind

I don't have the answers

If you could see through my eyes

You'd let go of your fears

And though I have to leave you now

With the thought of each other

I'll miss your touch

You call my name

I am with you forever

 

[Chorus]

 

With the change we can't explain

Remember me

 

You know I'd give my life for you

More than words can say

I showed you how to love someone

I know you'll find a way

 

[Chorus]

 

Be there to watch over you

Remember me

Feel I'm gone

My heart lives on

Remeber me

 

Don't you think of this as the end

I'll come into your dreams

Remember me

 

Close your eyes......

Say goodbye......

Remember me

Say you will [3x]

 

Close your eyes

Remember me

Say you will [3x]

 

Say goodbye

Remember me

I remember right after my break up I was so depressed...didn't want to eat, couldn't sleep etc.. I basically just wanted to die. So it was when I was at my lowest that I would listen to My Skin by Natalie Merchant. I would literally just lie in bed and cry for days. This song really brought on the tears.

Another great song by Natilie Merchant is My Lovers Gone....So sad! I love Natalie Merchant!

Foreigner "4": Break It Up

 

Made myself a prisoner

I locked myself away

Can't remember the last time

I saw the light of day

Don't want to face life

Feel I've been betrayed

I want you tell me

Where our love went astray

 

So can't you wait one more minute

Why can't you wait one more day

Let's get it straight

'Cause it's a big mistake

We better think about it

 

I don't want to break it up

Why do we have to break it up?

Never ever want to break it up oh no

I only wanna make it up tonight

 

You say you've thought about it

But you sound so cold

You make it look like our love

Can be bought or sold

You won't listen

You say it's way too late

That something is missing

And now you just can't wait

 

Why can't you wait one more minute?

Why can't you wait? give me one more day

Let's get it straight

This is a big mistake

We better think about it

 

I don't want to break it up

Why do we have to break it up?

Never ever want to break it up

Ooh no, I only wanna make it up tonight

 

So don't say break it up, break it up

I wanna hear you say we'll

make it up, make it up

I don't want to break it up

Oh baby, why can't we make it up tonight?

Make it up tonight, make it up tonight

 

And I ask myself

What's wrong with me?

How could I be so blind?

I know she tried to give me everything

But I still couldn't see

Now as I watch our love slip away

I'm begging you, begging you, please

 

Don't break it up, break it up

Take a little time and make

it up, make it up

I don't want to break it up

Oh no, I only wanna make it up tonight

 

I don't want to break it up

Baby let me make it up

Oh no no, no no

I, don't break it up, no no

Tonight, make it up, make it up

Ooh yeah, make it up, make it up

-------------------------------------

 

For some reason I always liked "Girl On the Moon" too. Maybe cuz it's hopeful & dreamy.

lol Tell me about it, I can't play Black or Outside on drums or vocals without getting teary eyed. I'm Gone, I'm Going gets me sometimes but I'm not entirely sure why. Losing My Religion is another one that I can't play anymore, along with a few Rush songs but not because they have sad lyrics to them, only because my ex and I were huge Rush fans and went to see them live many times (I actually proposed to her at a Rush concert).

 

Rock Band has a knack of doing things like that huh?

 

EDIT: Ok well I just went and looked at the lyrics to I'm Gone, I'm Going by Lesley Roy. It seems to be a song about getting over someone, not going back, etc. Makes a little more sense to me why I can't play it without feeling something. If anyone is curious to the lyrics or song I linked it above.

If you are pissed off at your ex, listen to anything by Eminem, more specifically "Puke". It's funny, but also pretty vulgar.

I actually told my ex that we didn't find "our song" until after we split up. The Pogues "Fairytale of New York". If you haven't heard it, the couple starts out so wonderful, and they are telling each other how pretty and handsome they are, and it's Christmas time, and they are loving each other's company. By the next verse, they're calling each other names and saying, "Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last." As the song ends, he says, "I could have been someone" as if it's her fault that he never made anything of himself. And with that interesting voice of hers, she gives a vocal shrug and answers, "Well, so could anyone." as if to say that she's not going to take on his problems and weakness.

 

I think it's a great breakup song, because it starts out so perfect, and they don't realize it's doomed. And that's their "fairytale". They told themselves that it would be riches and happiness and fun, and it ends with contempt and regrets and indifference.

Kanye West - "See You In My Nightmares," "Heartless," and "Coldest Winter." & "Love Lockdown." In fact, his whole "808s and Heartbreak" album! It's seriously perfect for breakups if you like that kind of music.

This isn't a breakup song but doesn anyone remember the bit in the wedding singer where Adam Sandler's character is back at work for the first time since being left at the alter. He's singing 'Holiday' and he sings in a really depressed tone "everybodyyy spread the worrrrdd. I LIVE IN MY SISTER'S BASEMENT"

 

Heehee I was watching that last night.

 

Another classic moment is where he's singing a song he wrote for Linda to Drew barrymore. The first half is all "You don't know how much I love you, when you're near me I don't feel blue" and the second half goes "But it all was bull****!" "It was a goddam joke and when I think of you Linda I HOPE YOU F*CKING CHOKE"!

That is funny..I remember that. I love that song he sings to her on the airplane in the end though....somthing about..I want to grow old with you?

 

I thought of one...my ex ex (not most recent) played the guitar really well. He did this acoustic version of BabyFace's "When can I see you again"" after we broke up. It moved me to tears:

When can my heart beat again

When does the pain ever end

When do the tears stop from running over

When does ?you'll get over it? begin

I hear what you're saying

But I swear that it's not making sense

So when can I see you

 

When can I see you again

When can my heart beat again

When can I see you again

When can I breathe once again

And when can I see you

 

When does my "someday" begin

When I'll find someone again

And what if I still am not truly over

What am I supposed to do then, babe...

Do you see what I'm saying

Even if, if it's not making sense

So when can I see you

 

When can I see you again

When can my heart beat again

When can I see you again

And when can I breathe once again

And when can I see you... again

 

Yeah, baby

Do you see what I'm saying

Even if, if it's not making sense, baby

So when can I see you again

 

When can I see you again

Can my heart beat again, baby

When can I see you again

And when can I breathe once again

And when can I see, babe, again

 

Wanna see you again

Again...

That's kinda sweet. Is that the ex ex who came back into your life recently or am I thinking of someone else?

That's the one..

 

After almost 4 yrs, he still wants to try (I ended things, but he pretty much forced me to with his neglect).

 

I am not going down that road again..too much time has gone by.
