"Leave the Pieces"

[BeautifulLife]

Hey everyone - I know I'm new here, but reading these threads has helped me a lot. I hope I can get/give the same kind of support I've seen here so far.

 

Anyway, don't know if you guys have heard of the band "The Wreckers," but it's a alt. country group composed of Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp. They have a new single out called "Leave the Pieces." I heard it for the first time on the radio on Sunday and thought...damn, I could have written that!! I think the lyrics are especially fitting for those of us with MM who say they're "sitting on a fence" or trying to make the decision whether to stay or go. Download this song if you can, it's great.

 

Please send me hugs, as I just had an hour long conversation with MM that left me in tears. Nothing he really did or said during the conversation, just the fact that I am so tired of this. My heart is so heavy and I feel so lost and hopeless right now. Going to go NC in 3 weeks from today if he hasn't gotten off the fence and I'm not looking forward to it.

 

Here are the lyrics to the song...

 

You're not sure that you love me

But you're not sure enough to let me go

Baby it ain't fair you know to just keep me hanging around.

You say you don't want to hurt me

Don't want to see my tears

So why are you still standing here just watching me drown

 

 

And it's all right yeah I'll be fine

Don't worry about this heart of mine

Just take your love and hit the road

There's nothing you can do or say your're gonna break my heart anyway

So Just leave the pieces when you go

 

Now You can drag out the heartache

Baby You can make it quick

Really get it over with just let me move on

Don't concern yourself with this mess you left for me

I can clean it up and see just as long as you're gone.

 

And it's all right yeah I'll be fine

Don't worry about this heart of mine

Just take your love and hit the road

There's is nothing you can do or say you're gonna break my heart anyway

So Just leave the pieces when you go

 

You're not making up your mind

It's killing me and wasting time

I need so much more than that

 

And It's all right Yeah I'll be fine

Don't worry about this heart of mine

Just take your love and hit the road

There's nothing you can do or say you're gonna break my heart anyway

So Just leave the pieces when you go

 

Leave the pieces when you go....

[Walking away]

WOW!

 

How appropriate for so many of us!

I just heard that song on SAturday for the first time. But I'm past that point personally. You have a ways to go.

 

(((Hugs)))) for you.

You're not making up your mind

It's killing me and wasting time

I need so much more than that

 

And It's all right Yeah I'll be fine

Don't worry about this heart of mine

Just take your love and hit the road

There's nothing you can do or say you're gonna break my heart anyway

So Just leave the pieces when you go

 

Leave the pieces when you go....

 

I'd say to that... (aimed at no-one in particular )

 

The MM is never going to 'make up his mind' when you're waiting. Even if you're drowning.... why aren't you saving yourself? No one healthy needs someone else that much that they should leave their self-respect behind.

 

It's up to you to walk away from him.

 

"And It's all right Yeah I'll be fine

Don't worry about this heart of mine"

 

Weeeeewww... Who would want to be involved with such a drag?

[hokitika1246]

i haven't heard the song but what would the lyrics read if a more empowered person wrote it?

 

"you think you're the one to choose

but you'll see you're gonna lose...

cause i'm not gonna wait to see

if somehow, maybe, you might pick me!"

 

my situation is different but i can definitely relate. there's something that makes me bristle at the thought of waiting to be picked, and also handing over total control of a situation to someone else. it's like saying "please, please, i'm good enough, i swear. just tell me i am." totally upsets the balance of power in a relationship. yuck!
