Anybody have a song that reminds them of the affair or end?

[AnotherSadSong]

This is a beautiful song by Pearl Jam that for me tells the two sides to an affair story and ending through both sides:

 

 

NOTHING MAN

 

 

Once divided...nothing left to subtract...

Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...

Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...

Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...

Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

Nothingman... (2x)

Isn't it something?

Nothingman...

She once believed...in every story he had to tell...

One day she stiffened...took the other side...

Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...

One just escapes...one's left inside the well...

And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh...

Nothingman... (2x)

Isn't it something?

Nothingman...

Oh, she don't want him...

Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...

Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...

Burn...burn...

Nothingman... (2x)

Isn't it something?

Nothingman...

Nothingman... (2x)

Coulda' been something...

Nothingman...

Oh...ohh...ohh...

YES! This song says it all:

Beautifully Unfinished by Ella Henderson

Sunday raindrops

Clock goes tick, tock

I hate myself for staring at the phone

Kept all your texts, can’t erase them

I’d call you up but I know you’re not alone

 

I know that I should not hold on

So why can’t I let go

 

‘Cause every time I’m with you

Somehow I forget to breathe

You got me like a rag doll

Now I’m dancing on your string

And I keep trying to figure out who you are to me

But maybe all that we were meant to be

Is beautifully unfinished

Beautifully unfinished

 

You left your kiss like a bruise on my lips

Your fingerprints are tattooed on my skin

And hush now don’t cry, build your walls high

And don’t you dare come creeping in

 

‘Cause you’re the one that I can’t lose

You’re the one that I can’t win

 

‘Cause every time I’m with you

Somehow I forget to breathe

You got me like a rag doll

Now I’m dancing on your string

And I keep trying to figure out who you are to me

But maybe all that we are meant to be

Is beautifully unfinished

 

And I hate you and I love you

And I wish you’d go away

And I hate you and I love you

And I wish that you would stay

 

‘Cause every time I’m with you

Somehow I forget to breathe

You got me like a rag doll

Now I’m dancing on your string

And I keep trying to figure out who you are to me

But maybe all that we are meant to be

Oh, beautifully unfinished

We’re beautifully unfinished

 

Also, the new Believe by Mumford and Sons

Actually that's funny, AnotherSadSong. Not Haha funny. Curiously funny. ALL Pearl Jam songs still tear at my soul. Some more than others, for sure. That one in particular. Just got Sirius radio in a new car and discovered the Pearl Jam station. BRUTAL.

[Tread Carefully]

I like this one by Lifehouse. It's called Storm.

 

How long have I been in this storm?

So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form

Water's getting harder to tread

With these waves crashing over my head

 

If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

 

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know everything is alright

 

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown

So why am I ten feet under and upside down

Barely surviving has become my purpose

Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface

 

If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

 

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

And I know everything will be alright

[AnotherSadSong]

LovelyBrown! Mumford and Sons "Little Lion Man" I forgot about this one. Perfect for the MM at the end:

 

 

 

 

Little Lion Man

 

 

Weep for yourself, my man,

You'll never be what is in your heart

Weep, little lion man,

You're not as brave as you were at the start

Rate yourself and rake yourself

Take all the courage you have left

And waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head

 

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really ****ed it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my...

 

Tremble for yourself, my man,

You know that you have seen this all before

Tremble, little lion man,

You'll never settle any of your scores

Your grace is wasted in your face,

Your boldness stands alone among the wreck

Now learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck

 

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really ****ed it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

 

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really ****ed it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my dear?

 

[harmonizing]

 

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really ****ed it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

 

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really ****ed it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my dear?

[AnotherSadSong]

Little Lion Man is a great listen when you are feeling angry at MM or thinking back at his insane behavior and lack of being genuine.

[AnotherSadSong]

Mumford and Sons, The Cave, is also a great NC song. Leave them in their destruction while you move on and learn from the experience, and finding your way, a better way! Their CDs definitely going in the drive. I will wait for you by them is also a finding yourself song....waiting on forgiveness from whomever you believe in that is greater..

[bentleychic]

"Not Strong Enough"

Apocalyptica (feat. Brent Smith of Shinedown)

 

I'm not strong enough to stay away.

Can't run from you

I just run back to you.

Like a moth I'm drawn in to your flame,

Say my name, but it's not the same.

You look in my eyes, I'm stripped of my pride.

And my soul surrenders, and you bring my heart to it's knees.

 

[Chorus:]

And it's killin' me when you're away, I wanna leave and I wanna stay.

And I'm so confused, So hard to choose.

Between the pleasure and the pain.

And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.

Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind.

And I'm not strong enough to stay away

 

I'm not strong enough to stay away

What can I do

I would die without you

In your presence my heart knows no shame

I'm not to blame

Cause you bring my heart to it's knees

 

[Chorus]

 

There's nothing I can do

My heart is chained to you

And I can't get free

Look what this love's done to me

 

[Chorus]

 

Not strong enough, strong enough

Not strong enough, strong enough

To stay away

Not strong enough, strong enough

Not strong enough, strong enough

I'm not strong enough to stay away

[LovelyBrown]

I love them so much!

The Outfield - "Your Love"

 

It was pretty fitting because when things started getting deeper, his wife was out of town and the first verse to the song made me laugh out loud (not really funny, I know. The irony was just too much). Now every time I hear it, I think of him.

[amaysngrace]

Purple Rain - Prince

 

.

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend

Baby, I could never steal you from another

It's such a shame our friendship had to end

 

Purple rain, purple rain

 

.

.

You all know the song, but ... yeah.

[Lovebug66]

Oh, I love your taste in music sadsong! The Cave is my song I listen to every time I need strength. It's perfect. I remember listening to the other two on repeat after dday, thats our relationship. Another good Pearl Jam one, Corduroy. My favorite to just get angry and say eff-off to, Blow Me (one last kiss) by Pink.

[Ifalltopieces]

"Puke" by Eminem

 

Yeah. Pretty accurate.

[HtotheN]

Night Train by Jason Aldean (This was "the" song about us at the time. I can now finally listen to it without feeling sad)

Somewhere with You by Kenny Chesney

Stay by Florida Georgia Line

Post-affair song: Two Black Cadillacs by Carrie Underwood

[still_an_Angel]

"Clarity" by Zedd

 

 

High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life

Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time

Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends

A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again

 

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need

Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

 

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?

If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

 

 

Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends

It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense

Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose

If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you

 

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need

Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

 

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?

If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

My MM didn't like it when I sent him this song, he thought I was trying to break up with him.

[I'mNotYours]

Depeche Mode "It's no good". Bunny boiler much?

 

I'm going to take my time

I have all the time in the world

To make you mine

It is written in the stars above

The gods decree

You'll be right here by my side

Right next to me

You can run, but you cannot hide

 

Don't say you want me

Don't say you need me

Don't say you love me

It's understood

Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be

'cause it's no good

 

I'll be fine

I'll be waiting patiently

Till you see the signs

And come running to my open arms

When will you realise

Do we have to wait till our worlds collide

Open up your eyes

You can't turn back the tide

 

Don't say you want me

Don't say you need me

Don't say you love me

It's understood

Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be

'cause it's no good

 

I'm going to take my time

I have all the time in the world

To make you mine

It is written in the stars above

 

Don't say you want me

Don't say you need me

Don't say you love me

It's understood

Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be

'cause it's no good

This song has ALWAYS reminded me of my feelings for him.

[AnotherSadSong]

Got another one girls! This is a satisfaction song FOR WHEN they try to come back into your life or make contact again:

 

 

Michael McDonald's, What A Fool Believes!

 

 

Listening to it will give you satisfaction and a grin. Plus it is a great sonf with a beautiful melody, it is smooth and real.

[Doublegold]

Pearl Jam and Mumford are the best. While not an affair song--'Black" by PJ is all about heartbreak.

 

I'm gonna go with Duffy's Stepping Stone. Saw her live with Coldplay on tour. Incrediable Soul Singer.

 

 

I remember, way back, way back when

I said I never wanna see your face again

Cause you were loving, yes you loving somebody else

And I knew, oh, yes I knew I could control myself

 

And now they bring you back into my life again

And so I put on a face just like a friend

But I think you know, oh yes you know what's going on

Cause the feelings of me, oh yes of me are burning strong

 

But I will never be your stepping stone

Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone

I'm standing upright on my own

 

You used to call me up from time to time

And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line

The words of love lay on my lips just like a curse

And I knew, oh yes I knew it would only make it worse

 

And now you have the nerve to play along

Just like the maestro beats in his song

You get your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me

And the less you give, the more I want so foolishly

 

But I will never be your stepping stone

Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone

I'm standing upright on my own

 

No I will never be your stepping stone

Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone

I'm standing upright on my own

 

Never be your stepping stone

Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone

I'm standing upright on my own

Girl Crush by Little Big Town. Lol

 

Actually I recently reheard I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes and it felt pretty right.

[Nolagirl1214]

Girl Crush by Little Big Town. Lol

Agreed on Girl Crush! I think the OW or even the BW could relate to this song.

[sunburned]

"Puke" by Eminem

 

Yeah. Pretty accurate.

 

Never heard it, but I like it!
