In response to cl-shywon, the "How Am I Doing" song is sung by Dierks Benteley and it's a great one. (lyrics include, "How am I doing since you did what you done to me? I won't lie I sometimes cry when I think of how it used to be.." but then it goes on to say "Those tears I cried were tears of joy") There's also Sugarland, "Something More" (lyrics include, "I need a little less hard time, I need a little more bliss. I'm gonna take my chances, taking a chance I might, like what I'm looking for, There's gotta be something more" or something to that extent). Kenny Chesney's "The Tin Man" is a good one too. Talks about I wish I was the tin man, then I wouldn't have a heart and you couldn't hurt me anymore. I can't think of who sings it off the top of my head, but depending on the circumstances of why she and her husband split, "Man to Man" might be a good one. A new man is talking to his lover's ex and it says, "look me in the eyes, tell me, if you really loved her, why'd you make her cry? man to man, who cheated who? you're the one to blame tell me it ain't true, man to man...." Hmmm.... I listen to tons of country music so I'm sure I'll think of more later!!! Hope this helped!

I'm sure the original poster of this thread has already completed the cd by now but it might be useful to somebody else. Another new song is Terri Clark's "She Didn't Have Time". It's a real good one :)

And yet another Kelly Clarkson from her "Breakaway" cd, which there are a few more on there. But I've been playing this one over and over again..."Gone". But the best one (if your older) has got to be Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive".

What you see's not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You're wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You're wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it, babe
Take the hint and walk away
'Cause I'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone

What you see's not what you get
What you see's not what you get

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You're wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
Oh, I'm already gone, gone, gone, gone
Already gone
I'm gone
