Song lyrics/good quotes
Thu, 09-23-2004 - 2:38pm
I've listened to a lot of music since my breakup...and even though some songs are sad/sappy, they have helped me deal with the pain. Maybe it's just me, but music has a wonderful way of making it seem like someone out there can relate to the way you're feeling...so here are some of my favorite song lyrics/quotes. A lot of them describe the way I feel about my situation and maybe some of yours too...either way, I hope you enjoy them and perhaps they'll make you think...

Rapid Hope Loss--by Dashboard Confessional

"You called to say you wanted out. Well, I can't say I blame you now. Sometimes you've got to fold before you're found out. Well thanks for waiting this long to show yourself. Cause now that I can see you, I don't think you're worth a second glance."

Bend and Not Break--by Dashboard Confessional

"I am fairly agile. I can bend and not break. Or I can break and take it with a smile. And I am so resilient, I recover quickly...I'll convince you soon that I am fine."

Vindicated--by Dashboard Confessional

"And I am flawed. But I am cleaning up so well...I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself."

Either Way--by Guster

"You were almost kind, you were almost true. Don't let me see that other side of you. You have learned in time that you must be cruel. I'll have to wait to get the best of you. Poison in everything you said...don't you, don't you? Wonder what difference does it make...either way."

I Spy--by Guster

"There is something I've been dyin to do, I was meaning to tell you...I've been so damned sad. Cause I spy something red. You don't know how far you've gone or recognize who you've become. How'd you grow to be so hard...sick of playing my part."

So Long--by Guster

"It's hateful to say, see it this way....don't even know who you are. But in my defense, I'd do it again...I don't need to know who you are. So long, so long, front foot leads the back one. Go on and it won't be too soon. You're lost and gone and on to the next one...don't need to know who you are."

All Hail the Heartbreaker--by the Spill Canvas

"So don't go worrying about me. It's not like I think about you constantly. So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect your life anymore. I knew it the moment you walked into the door. I'll let you get the best of me because there's nothing else that I do well...I'll let you get the best of me because there's nothing else that I do well. I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker. I guess that's how this one's gonna go...I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker. You've got me down on my knees and I proclaim 'All hail the heartbreaker'."

3685--by the Spill Canvas

"I would like to thank you, for showing me a part of myself that I have never seen. Yeah, we were young and dumb, but it still was fun...and I guess these things just tend to fall apart. I would like to thank you, for showing me a part of the world that I have never seen. Yeah, I was young and dumb, but it still was fun...I'm forever indebted to you. I hope you feel the same."

Halfway to Somewhere--by Brandon Henderson

"Well, I’m thinkin’ ‘bout life and where it leads. I wonder, am I putting mine to shame? Well maybe everyone just has to move at different speeds...so no one else’s story sounds the same."

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken, probably more than once & it's harder each time. You'll break hearts, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing so fast. You'll eventually lose someone you love. So, take too many pictures, laugh too hard and love like you've never been hurt, because every minute you spend mad or upset is a minute of happiness that you'll never get back."

"Not all kisses are magic, and most boys don't live up to your expectations, but there are times when even love, romance, relationships... it all fits together, and it's incredible. And it's those moments, no matter how depressingly few and far between, that make growing up worth it."

"Love is like glass. If you drop it, it shatters and can never be put completely back together, if you can put it back together at all. But love can also be like porcelain - if it's meant to be, it'll never crack."

"It's so important to hold onto the memories, and yet sometimes you have to wonder whether the memories are the things that are holding you back."

"Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, let go of what you can't change. kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything, have no regrets. Life is too short to be anything but happy."

"I've accepted that we can't be, but I've also accepted that you're gonna be that one person I carry with me for the rest of my life, the one that is always going to make my heart jump a little and my stomach tie up in knots no matter how happy I am otherwise and no matter how long it's been. Do you realize how incredibly difficult it is to accept both those things at once?"

Hang in there guys...
