I'm going blank on titles..maybe someone can help me.
There's one on the newest Brad Paisley CD that's something like "I'll Take You Back" and is all about basically hell freezing over before he'll let her come back.
"Believe in Love" by the Dixie Chicks. Here is are the lyrics
I made a promise to myself
Locked it away deep down inside
Told my heart we'd wait it out
Swore we'd never compromise
Oh I'd rather be alone
Like I am tonight
Than settle for the kind of love
That fades before the morning light
Silence stared me in the face
And I finally heard its voice
It seemed to softly say
That in love you have a choice
Today i got the answer
And there's a world of truth behind it
Love is out there waiting somewhere
You just have to go and find it
I believe in love, I believe in love
A love that's real, love that's strong
Love that lives on and on
Yes I believe in love
Yes I believe in love
I got this from the Internet so I can't vouch for how accurate the lyrics are:
Everclear -
Watch The World Die Lyrics
i am still living with your ghost
lonely and dreaming of the west coast
i dont want to be your down time
i dont want to be your stupid game
with my big black boots and an old suitcase
i do belive ill find myself a new place
i dont want to be tha bad guy
i dont want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
i just want to see some palm trees
i will try to shake away this disease
we can live beside the ocean
linger far behind
swim out past the breaker
watch the world die x2
i am still dreaming of your face
hungry and hollow from the pain you took away
i dont want to be your good time
i dont want to be your fallback crutch anymore
walk right up you brand new day
your same horizon in my own wearedway
i dont want to be tha bad guy
i dont want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
i just want to feel some downside
i just want to find some place to be alone
Here's another one. It's from Erasure's "Pop! 20 Hits" cd - great for exercising BTW.
Who needs Love (Like That)
There's something going on,
something's not quite right.
There's something strange that's
happening to me.
There's someone at the door,
I hear voices in my head.
It seems things aren't the way they
ought to be.
Who needs love like that? Who
needs love like that?
It seemed so clear before,
I held my point of view,
I kept my conversation never
changed.
Now it's all gone wrong
and words are kind of hard,
and nothing else around me looks
the same.
Who needs love like that? Who
needs love like that?
Love can turn you upside down,
then leave you in the cold.
It's plain to see you're losing all
control. (losing all control)
Who needs love like that? Who
needs love like that?
I'd like to understand,
I'd like to find out why,
I can't remember all the lies that
you've said.
But then I see your face,
and nothing really counts,
don't tell me now this feeling will
stay.
This one is a little obscure I guess but the song had such an unusual sound I bought the cd when it came out: It's by "White Town"
Your Woman (4.18)
Just tell me what you’ve got to say to me,
I’ve been waiting for so long to hear the truth,
It comes as no surprise at all you see,
So cut the crap and tell me that we’re through.
Now I know your heart, I know your mind,
You don’t even know you’re being unkind,
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways,
Just use me up and then you walk away,
Boy you can’t play me that way.
Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.
When I saw my best friend yesterday,
She said she never liked you from the start,
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same,
But you always knew you held my heart.
And you’re such a charming handsome man,
Now I think I finally understand,
Is it in your genes?, I don’t know,
But I’ll soon find out, that’s for sure,
Why did you play me this way?.
Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.
Well I guess what they say is true,
I could never spend my life with a man like you,
I could never be your woman.
It's over, it's over now. It's over...It's MY turn now....it's over! The games' shut down...SORRY!
I don't even know what that song is called, I just remembered the chorus.
When I am in the midst of a breakup, I put that song on my mp3 player and smile.
Do It All Over Again
Crystal Gayle
Was I right? Was I wrong?
A little too weak-- a little too strong?
Was it him? Was it me?
Oh I guess I'll never know
First you're up, then you're down
Oh but the world keeps turning around
Ain't it hard... to find...
Something to hang on to
(Chorus)
But I know, that my heart will mend
And I know, that I'll smile again
I'll be back, on my feet and then,
I'll do it all over again
Some you lose, some you win
They say that's the way it's always been
First you laugh, then you cry
Oh but I guess that's life
So you live, and you learn
And never look back at the bridges you burn
And you change, somehow
Oh I'm a little bit wiser now
But I know, that my heart will mend
And I know, that I'll smile again
I'll be back, on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again
But I know, that my heart will mend
And I know, that I'll smile again
I'll be back, on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again
I'll do it all over again!
I think that Shakira has a ton of songs talking about relationships that are over... I think that her newest song called "La Tortura" (the torture) is a great song. It's in spanish but the message is very powerful! Below is a translation---It doesn't really do its justice but it's pretty accurate.
THE TORTURE (English Translation)
I'm not asking that every day be sunny
I'm not asking that there be a party every Friday
Nor do I ask you to come back begging forgiveness
If you're crying with dry eyes,
Speaking about her
Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you left without saying a word
Oh my love, losing you was torture
I know I haven't been a saint
But I can make it up to you
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye
I can't ask winter to spare a rose bush
I can't ask an elm tree to bear pears
I can't ask the eternal of a mere mortal
And go about casting thousands of pearls before swine
Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer trust my promises
Oh my love, losing you has been torture
I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And let's say goodbye
Listen, baby, don't you go
Listen, baby, don't get angry
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Give Saturday to me and you'll be better off
Listen baby, don't punish me anymore
Without you, out there I have no peace
I'm just a repentant man
I'm the bird that returns to its nest
I know I haven't been a saint
And I'm not made of stone
Man doesn't live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses
We only learn from our mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Better save it for someone foolish enough to believe you and say Goodbye
AD LIBS
Oh after all I've done for you
It was such a torture to lose you
It hurts me so that it's like this
Keep on crying sorry
I…
I'm not going
To cry over you
