<p>Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that’s pretty clever, don’t you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You’d kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror
You’re turning into something you are not</p>
<p>Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry </p>
<p>Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They’re the ones who’ll hate you
When you think you’ve got the world all sussed out
They’re the ones who’ll spit at you
You will be the one screaming out</p>
<p>Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry </p>
<p>Oh, it’s the best thing that you ever had
Best thing that you ever ever had
It’s the best thing that you ever had
Best thing you ever had has gone away </p>
<p>Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high
Don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high </p>
<p>You’re not sure that you love me
But you’re not sure enought to let me go
Baby it ain’t fair you know
To just keep me hangin’ on</p>
<p>You say you don’t wannna hurt me
Don’t want to see my tears
So why are you still standin’ here
Just watchin’ me drown?</p>
<p>Chorus-
It’s alright. 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</p>
<p>You can drag out the heartache
Baby you can make it quick
Really get it over with
And just let me move on.</p>
<p>Don’t concern yourself with this mess you’ve left for me
I can clean it up, you see
Just as long as you’re gone</p>
<p>All those games you tried to play
Well they aint gonna work on me now
I put a barbed wire fence
Around my heart
Baby just to keep you out
Well you thought I’d wait around forever
But baby get real
I just kicked you to the curb
In my red high heels</p>
<p>Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I’ll bet you want me back now don’t you, don’t you
I’m about to show you just how missin’ me feels
In my red high heels</p>
<p>I’m not really a country music person, but “Stay” by Sugarland is powerful.</p>
<p>Why don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of bein’ lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay (yeah)</p>
<p>I can’t take it any longer
But my will is gettin’ stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can’t waste another minute
After all that I put in it
I’ve given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So next time you’ll find
You wanna leave her bed for mine</p>
<p>Why don’t you stay
I’m up off my knees
I’m so tired of bein’ lonely
You can’t give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay, yeah</p>
<p>One of my favorites (and one of the only songs that I like by this band) is “Ordinary World” by Duran Duran:</p>
<p>Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly</p>
<p>I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can’t escape the ghost of you</p>
<p>What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away</p>
<p>But I won’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive</p>
<p>Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
“Pride will tear us both apart”
Well now pride’s gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart</p>
<p>What is happening to me?
Crazy, some’d say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away</p>
<p>But I won’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive</p>
<p>Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk</p>
<p>And I don’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive</p>
<p>Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world</p>
<p>Well It took me 5 bars saw 30 license plates
I saw her mustang
And my eyes filled up with rage
I brought my pistol but I ain’t some kinda fool
So I walked right in barehanded
She was on his arm while he was playing pool
Just like I used to do
She kissed him while I got a beer
She didn’t think I’d show up here
I’m a crazy ex girlfriend</p>
<p>I watched her for awhile but I didn’t like her walk
She came across kinda cheap to me
But hey hows that my fault
She looked at my man like he didn’t have on a stitch
Somebody tell that girl
To step up to the plate
I wanna Pitch
Little *****</p>
<p>Well those pretty girls can play their game
But their damn well gonna know my name
I’m a crazy ex-girlfriend</p>
<p>Well I started throwing things and
I scared folks half to death
I got up in his face and smelled whiskey on his breath
I Didn’t give it a second thought to being thrown in jail
Well baby to a hammer everything looks like a nail
And I was mad as hell</p>
<p>Well those pretty girls they’re all the same
But they’re damn well gonna know my name
I’m a crazy Ex-Girlfriend</p>
<p>I’m a crazy Ex-Girlfriend
I’m a crazy Ex-Girlfriend
I’m a crazy Ex-Girlfriend</p>
<p>Just heard a new rendition of Walk Away Renee with the most gorgeous cello line running though it. The young person working at my house had never heard this beautiful song. Originally Four Tops. </p>
<hr>
<p>And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day</p>
<p>Just walk away Renee
You won’t see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You’re not to blame</p>
<p>From deep inside the tears I’m forced to cry
From deep inside the pain I chose to hide</p>
<p>Just walk away Renee
You won’t see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries</p>
<p>Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me though they’re so small</p>
<p>Just walk away Renee
You won’t see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries</p>
<p>Just walk away Renee
You won’t see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You’re not to blame</p>
<p>(One of those songs with lyrics rather open to interpretation. A Eureka moment to see them in print)</p>
<p>I can tell there’s something you don’t want to tell me
It’s killing you cause the words are hard to find
I know you want to break it to me gently
Well sweet baby say what’s on your mind.</p>
<p>Let 'er rip, let it fly
Come on baby say it, do you think I’m gonna cry?
I ain’t about to bawl and I ain’t gonna die
So if you’re gonna say good-bye don’t take all day and night
Let 'er rip, let it fly.</p>
<p>Why the drama? We don’t have to drag out the situation
It wasn’t you, it wasn’t me, sometimes the chemistry just don’t ignite,
There ain’t no rings, no mortgage, there ain’t any complications
Just a hyphenated word, get it out, I’m sure I’ll be alright.</p>
<p>Let 'er rip, let it fly,
Come on baby say it do you think I’m gonna cry?
I ain’t about to bawl, and I ain’t gonna die.
So if you wanna say good-bye don’t take all day and night
Let 'er rip, let it fly.</p>
<p>It ain’t no big deal, it ain’t no great loss,
You and I are on the same train of thought
So you don’t have to tell me where to get off.
Maybe I misunderstood you,
If you’re leaving baby would you
Let 'er rip, let it fly,
Come on baby say it do you think I’m gonna cry?
I ain’t about to bawl, and I ain’t gonna die.
So if you wanna say good-bye don’t take all day and night
Let 'er rip, let it fly.</p>
<p>Not a song, but I couldn’t find the other thread. Will it ever stop hurting? [xkcd</a> - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language - By Randall Munroe](<a href=“http://xkcd.com/128/]xkcd”>xkcd: dPain over dt)</p>
<p>I thought this would be another type of good-bye. Oh well, here goes; it’s “Letting Go” by Suzy Boggus:</p>
<p>She’ll take the painting in the hallway,
The one she did in jr. high
And that old lamp up in the attic,
She’ll need some light to study by.</p>
<p>She’s had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway</p>
<p>Oh oh letting go
There’s nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there’s room enough to fly
And even though, she’s spent her whole life waiting,
It’s never easy letting go.</p>
<p>Mother sits down at the table
So many things she’d like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too.</p>
<p>She’s had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway.</p>
<p>Oh oh letting go
There’s nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there’s room enough to fly
And even though, she’s spent her whole life waiting,
It’s never easy letting go.</p>
<p>The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover</p>
<p>She said it’s really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover</p>
<p>CHORUS:
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free</p>
<p>She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways</p>
<p>She said why don’t we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You’ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover</p>
<p>on the subject of vicious - My D helped best friend scream these lines in a pillow as loud as Courtney Love of Hole does to let the pain out…</p>
<p>I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much, it just turns to hate
I fake it so real I am beyond fake
And someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache</p>
<p>Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn’t help but think of the way things used to be </p>
<p>She was the one that I’d wanted for all times
And each night I’d spend prayin’ that God would make her mine
And if he’d only grant me this wish I wished back then
I’d never ask for anything again </p>
<p>Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn’t answer doesn’t mean he don’t care
Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers </p>
<p>She wasn’t quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn’t much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he’s doin’ after all </p>
<p>And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life </p>
<p>Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn’t mean he don’t care
Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers</p>

<p>Love hurts.
Love scars.
Love wounds and mars
Any heart
Not tough
Or strong
Enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain,
Love is like a cloud,
Holds a lot of rain.
Love hurts,
Oh oh,
Love hurts.</p>
<p>I’m young,
I know,
But even so,
I know a thing
Or two
I’ve learned
From you.
I’ve really learned a lot,
Really learned a lot,
Love is like a flame,
Burns you when it’s hot.
Love hurts,
Oh oh,
Love hurts.</p>
<p>Some fools dream of happiness,
Blissfulness,
Togetherness.
Some fools fool
Themselves, I guess,
But they’re not fooling me.</p>
<p>Say it isn’t true,
Say it isn’t true,
Love is just a lie,
Made to make us blue.
Love hurts,
Oh oh,
Love hurts.</p>
