I don't usually listen to pop stations, but caught this song & of course, it sent me into tears!

Kelly Clarkson's "Behind These Hazel Eyes"

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
Sewn together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Another one I love:

Chris Isaak's "Somebody's Crying"


I know somebody and they cry for you.
They lie awake at night and dream of you.
I bet you never even know they do, but somebody's crying.
I know somebody and they called your name.
A million times and still you never came.
They go on loving you just the same, I know that somebody's trying.

So please, return the love you took from me.
Or please, let me know if it can't be me, I know when,
Somebody's lieing, I know when somebody's lieing.

I know that somebody's lieing, I know that somebody's lieing.
Give me a sign and let me know we're through.
If you don't love me like I love you.
But if you cry at night the way I do I'll know that somebody's lieing.

So please, return the love you took from me.
Or please, let me know if it can't be me.
I know when somebody's lieing, I know when somebody's lieing.
Oh i, oh i......

Hi W2T,
The following song is by Megadeth. It is a song I have always enjoyed, However on D-day, BEFORE I KNEW what was going on with H, I took out this cd and was playing it, this song esp, right before he came home and I asked him to tell me the truth about where he was and what he was doing.

About 1/2 an hour into D-day, I told my H I knew somthing wwas "wrong" but never thought it was an A, How IRONIC that I was playing this song. I put it on for him and his exact words to me were "You have always had a knack for playing the RIGHT song at the RIGHT times"

I still play this song once in a while but it now has TRUE meaning to me, where once it was just a really good song that I didn't quite get all the lyrics.

Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said
Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
The sad scene replays
Of you walking away

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

Time and again
She repeats let’s be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends,
I must confess

I try to let go, but I know
We’ll never end ’til we’re dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust

My body aches from mustakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Now there’s nothing we trust

How could this be happening to me
I’m lying when I say, ’trust me’
I can’t believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering

Absolutely nothing we trust




Rock on..... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Here is another good one by Megadeth,(Dave Mustaine)
Called 1000 Goodbyes......


The tides of change pulled us apart
I feel a familiar pain
It seems like years since we’ve loved
Or even liked and that’s a lonely way to be

Drifting alone in a sea of agony
Your face I can’t recognize
Don’t make this hard on us
I will miss you if you just go away

I did no right you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I will never take you back

Solo - pitrelli

You know what? it’s over
I just don’t feel the same way as I used to
We’ve been together forever, but it’s over

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye

It seems nothing good is free
A good thing cost much more than the price
You were good but not that good
Don’t kid yourself now it’s time to beak up

Drifting alone in a sea of agony
Your face I can’t recognize
Don’t make this hard on us
I will miss you if you just go away

I did no right you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I’ll never take you back

Solo - pitrelli

Don’t call me anymore. it’s just not¡­
I don’t feel the same way about you
Its not as good as it used to be

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye

Repeat chorus
Solo - mustaine

Be Well,

I’ll always love you but just not like that
Like what?
I want to be honest with you I met someone else
You did what?
And I really, I really love him like I used to love you
Remember the time that I told you that
I was going out of town for business?
Well I went to see him
You know what? you suck!

Solo - mustaine

Goodbye 1000 times
You’ll always have a special place
In my heart you know that
It’s just I can’t be with you anymore it’s over
Goodbye 1000 times
Things may not work out with him
Goodbye 1000 times
And if they don’t
Goodbye 1000 times
Then I’ll certainly call you
Goodbye 1000 times
You mean a lot to me
I still really want to be friends with you
I love you like you’re my brother

Harmonie....I LOVE Megadeth. I especially like "Wake Up Dead".....that's a good one.

It's a short one.

Wake Up Dead
Megadeth

I sneak in my own house
It's four in the morning
I had too much to drink
Said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed,
I know if I wake her,
I'll wake up dead
Chorus:
I wonder, will she find out,
About the other, other lover.
Diana.
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead, and buried.
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead.

I really like the "Behind these hazel eyes" song too. I can really identify with it. I also like "Because of you" by Kelly Clarkson.

The Dixie Chicks have really good songs about infidelity, my current favorite is.

Without You
Dixie Chicks

I've sure enjoyed the rain, but I'm looking forward to the sun
You have to feel the pain, when you lose the love you gave someone
I thought by now the time would take away these lonley tears
I hope you're doin' fine all alone, but where do I go from here

'Cause without you I'm not okay
And without you I've lost my way
My heart's stuck in 2nd place, ooooooo
Without you

Well I never thought I'd be lying here without you by my side
It seems unreal to me, that the life you promised was a lie
You made it look so easy, makin' love into memories
I guess you got what you wanted, but what about me

'Cause without you I'm not okay
And without you I've lost my way
My heart's stuck in 2nd place, ooooooo
Without you

Somebody tell my head to try to tell me heart, that I'm better off, without you
Cause baby I can't liiiiiiiiiive.....

Without you I'm not okay
And without you I've lost my way
My heart's stuck in 2nd place, ooooooo
Without you

Without you.


God Bless,

-Caren

CONVOY by CW McCALL
Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon

Uh, yeah 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag-Town, C'mon

Uh, yeah, that's a big 10-4 Pig-Pen,
Yeah, we definitely got us the front door good buddy,
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
An' I'm about to put the hammer on down

Cause we gotta little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta little ol' convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, breaker Pig-Pen, this here's The Duck
Uh, you wanna back off them hogs
10-4, 'bout five mile or so, 10-roger
Them hogs is gittin' in-tense up here

By the time we got into Tulsa-Town
We had eighty-five trucks in all
But they's a road block up on the clover leaf
An' them bears 'as wall to wall
Yeah them smokies 'as thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear-in-the-air
I sez callin' all trucks, this here's The Duck
We about to go a huntin' bear

Cause we gotta great big convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that Pig-Pen?
Uh, negatory Pig-Pen, yer still too close
Yeah, them hogs is startin' close up my sinuses
Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten

Well we rolled up interstate fourty-four
Like a rocket sled on rails
We tore up all a our swindle sheets
An' left 'em settin' on the scales
By the time we hit that Chi-Town
Them bears was a gittin' smart
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois National Guard
There 'as armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps
An' rigs of every size
Yeah them chicken coops 'as full a bears
An' choppers filled the skies
Well we shot the line, an' we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreusse microbus

Hey Sod Buster, listen
You wanna put that microbus in behind the suicide jockey?
Yeah, he's haulin dynamite
He needs all the help he can git

Well we laid a strip fer the Jersey Shore
An' prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge 'as lined with bears
But I didn't have a doggone dime
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight
I sez, let them truckers roll, 10-4

Cause we gotta mighty convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, 10-4 Pig-Pen, what's yer 20?
Omaha?!
Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer sure
Well mercy sakes alive good buddy
We gonna back on outta here
So keep the bugs off yer glass
An' the bears off yer... tail
We gonna catch ya on the flip-flop
This here's the Rubber Duck on the side
We gone
Bye, Bye...

Used to be a big Megadeath fan, those are great songs. I guess I got a bit mellower as I got older. This has always been a great song for me because I've been a huge U2 fan since '83

Don't listen to this one much at all since D-Day.

With or Without You - U2

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you

Biggles-

LMAO @ Convoy!!!!!!! I cracked up when I read that!!!!

Fourth-

I guess I never listened to the words of "With or Without You", but that is a good one.

I like heavy metal a lot....but I like other music too...actually I can listen to almost anything.

I never have grown out of my heavy metal, I just love to hear the guitars and someone screaming their brains out <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I also like alternative...like I said, I can listen to just about anything.

I actually saw Megadeth in concert...many moons ago...I always thought Dave Mustaine was so cute (I've reconsidered my position on that since then...LMAO).

Yeah, I was into those long haired guys for years. But very few guys I actually dated ever even had long hair. (Secretly long hair still turns my head).

God Bless,

My dd sang this song at the New year concert for me to her dad and for her fiance both of whom are fighting in the war right now.

Its beautiful and I cried so much.

Its called I give my love to you.

From the moment I saw you
my world become so right
like a sparkle of promises on a moonlit night

you saved me from despair
and showed me how much you cared
you whispered the sweetest things that I could ever hear

I give my love to you
You my love is true
I give my love to you

I give my love to you
You my love is true
I give my love to you

I hoping with my heart that the magic lasts forever
Like a ship on the ocean we belong together
When you hold me in your arms I feel so good inside
It’s a feeling I just love One that I cannot hide

I give my love to you
You my love is true
I give my love to you

I give my love to you
You my love is true
I give my love to you

Say I am the one you want
The woman of your dreams
Tell me you wont give up .. ever … on me

I give my love to you
You know my love is true
I give my love to you

I give my love to you
You my love is true
I give my love to you
Only you
Only you


see now I'm sniffling ....

Of course one of my DH best songs is .....

We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
And we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got thristy hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and suckers
And we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

[Chorus:]
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

I've seen short skirts, we got high-techs
Blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we got lovers, lots of lookers
And I've even seen dancing girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Yes I do

I like my truck (I like my truck)
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then

But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just trollin' around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

We got divorcees and a big bouncer man
An old jukebox and a real bad band
We got waitresses and we got barflies
A dumb-[censored] and a wise-guy
If you get too drunk just sleep out in your car

Reason number 672 why

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Play it on out boys
Beer-thirty's over
Got to take it on home

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
I just love it

Hahaha, lately it seems I've been singing that bi-polar song that Adam Sandler wrote on the Wedding Singer <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> You know the one that starts all sappy and ends up all wrong...

You don't know how much I need you when you're near me
I don't feel blue when we kiss
I know you need me too
can't believe I found a love quite so pure and true.

BUT IT ALL WAS *****
IT WAS A ****** JOKE
AND WHEN I THINK OF OL' LINDA
I HOPE YOU ******* CHOKE!

I think you're glad with what you done to me
I lay in bed all day long feeling melancholy
you've left me here all alone
tears running constantly

SOMEBODY KILL ME PLEASE
SOMEBODY KILL ME PLEASE
SOMEBODY PLEASE PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE KILL ME
I WANT TO DIE PUT A BULLET IN MY HEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAD.

I always get a little misty eyed listening to that one <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I Learned That From You

I remember the windows rolled down and the wind in my hair
Driving 'round in your Daddy's old Chevy
Like we were going somewhere

We thought that summer would last us forever
Going steady was just something you do
I didn't know much about love
I learned that from you

Now those were some good times
Lately they don't seem to last
I guess I'm not nearly as strong as a drink in your glass
And the nights just get later
I can stay up and wait or just go on to bed like I do
I never knew nothing about lonely
I learned from that you

And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel
And I made wishes at wishing wells
And I fell into that fairytale too
And I know that love ain't so easy
But we tried, didn't we baby
It's alright
Some dreams weren't meant to come true
I learned that from you

One night while the whole world was turning
I left you a note
And I told you that I'd always miss you
Then I let you go
I'm living outside of some town I ain't heard of
And I think about the boy I knew
I didn' t know you could fall out of love
I learned that from you

And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel
And I made wishes at wishing wells
And I fell into that fairytale too
And I know that love ain't so easy
But we tried, didn't we baby
It's alright
Some dreams weren't meant to come true
I learned that from you

I remember the windows rolled down
And the wind..

While I'm tempted to post "Love Stinks" by J Geils Band, after the Adam Sandler song, I will post an old classic tearjerker instead...

Angie - The Rolling Stones

Angie, angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can’t say we’re satisfied
But angie, angie, you can’t say we never tried

Angie, you’re beautiful, but ain’t it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, angie, don’t you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But angie, angie, ain’t it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can’t say we’re satisfied

But angie, I still love you, baby
Ev’rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain’t a woman that comes close to you
Come on baby, dry your eyes
But angie, angie, ain’t it good to be alive?
Angie, angie, they can’t say we never tried

I think I've posted this one on here before, but it's one of my favorites. This is pretty much me right about the time I filed for the big D <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Ani Difranco, "Rock Paper Scissors"

It's rock paper scissors as to whether I will get over you at all.
It's hand against hand and both hands are mine.
It's standing in a circular line, which is not to say that I'm not also happy.
A happy meal with a surprise inside.
Surprise, surprise is another bright light in your eyes
Exposing all the stuff you're not calculating enough to hide.
This melancholy that I carry makes me feel so grown up at the kitchen table doing shots of resignation.
I never thought I'd see the day
When I would I say I give up and tame the stallions of my wildest expectations.
But I do not want to know you this way, surrounded by so much pain.
But how am I supposed to let go of you this way, like a bird into the sky of my brain?
I think I could accept all these dark colors as just part of some bigger color scheme
If it wasn't for that drippy string quartet of sadness underscoring each smiling scene.
Yeah desire drags me right out of myself like a gas soaked rope tied to a piece of coal.
And I'm getting pretty good at looking at the bright side
While the flames ripple on the sand and swallow me whole.
But this melancholy that I carry makes me feel so grown up at my kitchen table doing shots of resignation.
I never thought I'd see the day
When I would say I give up and break the stallions of my wildest expectations.
But I do not want to know you this way surrounded by so much pain
But how am I supposed to let go of you this way like a bird into the sky of my brain.

Here's another gem by Toad the Wet Sprocket, "Dam would break"

Is it this place that makes me fall from you
Forget the words that once rang so true
Did we expect that life was ever fair, my god...
I sowed a field of rose and reaped two whipping rods
And everything I’ve held too tight inside
Could make a part of me die
And if my lips could only speak the name
The dam would break

What is this ice that gathers round my heart
To stop the flood of warmth before it even starts
It would make me blind to what I thought would always be
The only constant in the world for me
And every hour of every day
I need to fight from pulling away
And if my mind could only loose the chain
The dam would break

For all the things I hid away
And all the words I could not say
The dam would break

Perhaps a song for recovery ..

Nightminds

Just lay it all down. Put your face into my neck and let it fall out.
I know
I know
I know.
I knew before you got home.
This world you're in now,
It doesn't have to be alone,
I'll get there somehow, 'cos
I know I know I know
When, even springtime feels cold.

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise,
Out of our nightminds, and into the light
At the end of the fight...

You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified.
The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die.
And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing.
So I know
I know
I know,
It's easier to let go.

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
And into the light at the end of the fight.

...and in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
And into the light... at the end of the fight...


Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

This one hit me a couple weeks ago as I actuallt paid attention to the lyrics. Yeah, I'm all into the alternative and that sloppy British sound too <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The Scientist - Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m going back to the start


Great tune.
