Cool song by Maroon 5 - makes me think of all the anger I now feel towards xOM :-)

Through With You - Maroon 5

Can you see me

Floating above your head

As you lay in bed

Thinking about everything

That you did not do

Cause saying I love you

Has nothing to do with meaning it

And I don't trust you

Cause everytime you're here

Your intentions are unclear

I spend every hour waiting for a phone call

That I know will never come

I used to think that you were the one

Now I'm sick of thinking anything at all

You ain't ever coming back to me

That's not how things were supposed to be

You take my hand just to give it back

No other lover has ever done that

Do you remember

The way we used to melt

Do you remember how it felt

When I touched you, oh

Cause I remember very well

And how long has it been

Since someone you let in

Has given what I gave to you

And at night when you sleep

Do you dream I would be there

Just for a minute or two, do you?

You ain't ever coming back to me

That's not how things were supposed to be

You take my hand just to give it back

No other lover has ever done that

Heartache, heartache, I just have so much

A simple love with a complex touch

There is nothing you can say or do

I called to let you know I'm through with you

You ain't ever coming back to me

That's not how things were supposed to be

You take my hand just to give it back

No other lover has ever done that

Heartache, heartache, I just have so much

A simple love with a complex touch

There is nothing you can say or do

I called to let you know I'm through,

Called to let you know I'm through,

I called to let you know I'm through with you

I ain't ever coming back to you

Here are two other songs -- even though they acknowledge that the previous relationship involved feelings, I like that they give power to saying goodbye. The first is a song by Madonna called "Time Stood Still" -- I think it's a soundtrack CD (I like the despair, regret, but maybe not so much the tenderness part :-). And I like the part where she say "And now I know the reasons why"


TIME STOOD STILL

Despair, regret, and tenderness

Is what I feel for you

I loved you from the very start

What else could I do

You read my mind, you made me cry

Time stood still

And now I know the reasons why

Time stood still

Chorus:

Maybe you're the next best thing to happen

All the things we might have been

A flame becomes a fading light

That burns inside my heart

And like a castle in the sand

It had to fall apart

You made me laugh, you gave me hope

It's over now

Our happiness went up in smoke

It's over now

*******************************************


HERE'S THE OTHER SONG

from the "Ray of Light" CD

THE POWER OF GOODBYE

Your heart is not open so I must go

The spell has been broken, I loved you so

Freedom comes when you learn to let go

Creation comes when you learn to say no

You were my lesson I had to learn

I was your fortress you had to burn

Pain is a warning that something's wrong

I pray to God that it won't be long

Do ya wanna go higher?

There's nothing left to try

There's no place left to hide

There's no greater power

Than the power of good-bye

Your heart is not open so I must go

The spell has been broken

I loved you so

You were my lesson I had to learn

I was your fortress

There's nothing left to lose

There's no more heart to bruise

There's no greater power

Than the power of good-bye

Learn to say good-bye

I yearn to say good-bye

There's nothing left to try

There's no more places left to hide

There's no greater power

Than the power of good-bye

There's nothing left to lose

There's no more heart to bruise

There's no greater power

Than the power of good-bye
